In the Occasion of the Prophet’s birth day his Eminence the Sheikh of Druze monotheist confession El Sheikh Naim Hassan addressed a letter saying:
“Praise be to God, prayer and peace be upon the Messengers, his family and companions.”
The birth of the prophet (Peace be upon him) was a glad tiding of a nation birth. Upon the order of the Almighty god, the spirit that will inspire piety, unity and faith to souls came to continue the beginning through the words of the Apostle Prophets peace be upon them all, by the venerable letter that changed the old world and opened the doors to civilization, reason and light. A spirit that destroyed by unity and faith the atheism thrones and ignorance idols; people were eating death, making obscenities, cutting wombs, offending neighborhood, the strong eating the weak, so the Prophet’s inspiration called them to unity, familiarity and speaking honesty, the performance of loyalty, kinship, good neighborhood, to stop obscenities, saying lies, taking the orphan’s money, defaming chastity and ordered them to worship God alone without associating him with anything, to pray, to give alms and fast” as expressed the first immigrants.
With this clarity, purity and unity in souls the first immigrants were able through the apostle spirit that was giving them guidance and faith strongness, to spread the good message in the earth. Therefore a civilization was established recognized by intellectuals that it offered to mankind the most shining eras, and sponsored the sciences through which the west recuperated its conscience. Today, in this enlightened occasion we can’t sing the glory of the past, but we must be inspired by the faith lesson, and evoke the great spirit that swept the world by holding the banner of tolerance, ease, high values and good virtues. The emerging nation at that time maintained from Andalusia to the edge of China the respect of the traditions of the populations who were in its custody. It wasn’t persecution, it wasn’t racism, and it wasn’t genocide, but a civilized meeting at the level of a pioneer, creative, human and ethical globalization in the global meaning of the word.
We remember this soul not only with wise mentioning but also with the large human extent by which the Islam was tolerant, inclusive and close to God’s face. We remember it today, so maybe we will be inspired by the power through which the souls will recuperate not its fanaticism, but the wisdom, the dream, the good governance and also the deep enlightened faith, and the good firm will in requesting right and justice.
The Almighty said: (We have sent thee with truth a bearer of good tidings and a Warner) Angels 24. It is worth to the decision makers in our nation to achieve the meaning of this tiding to themselves, in order that the judgment of justice, good and advice rules shall be straightened and the state will be consolidated above the pillars of trust, security and prosperity; the populations will rise with science, work and efficient development. With all this, the power reasons will be straightened in deep roots and strong rules by which the nation recuperates its rights, and repel its enemies machinations, lift the cracks, disintegration and division evils that are the biggest dangers in its journey to achieve peace and push the aggression.
We ask the Almighty God to consolidate us in faith, strengthen our souls in justice; it’s the “goodness of governors”.
