In the Name of God the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

Praise be to God Lord of Mankind, Prayers and Peace be upon the Master of Messengers, His Family and His Companions

His Almighty said in His Noble book describing His messenger – Prayers be upon Him in “Al Kalam” (the Pen) Verse: {And Verily, you are on an exalted character}.

The glorification is remarkable here and carries great significances, since he was created by the Holy Koran that unites the noblest ethics on which the Islam was founded to become the light for people that gets them out of darkness toward the wide spaces of the mind, humanitarianism and divine knowledge.

His Almighty said in Al-Ahzab Verse: {Indeed in the Messenger of Allah you have a good example to follow}, the example is what leads and should be taken as an example. The Unitarian Muslim believer cannot in any way but imitate the Great mirror of virtue that represents the eternal message witnessing the judgment day of people’s souls, consciousness and acts and all that they have harvested in their material life.

We should not recall the significances of the Holy religious occasions with our tongues and while our hearts are suspended by the material life and the domination of its embellishments driving us toward the distractions and abysses of arrogance, but we should be aware of it instead, with our consciousness and life’s beats in our hearts, so that we deserve the Islam’s grace, teachings and true significances that humans cannot link but to the ethics which contents are extracted from the Hajj that the Messenger of God had carried to the World.

Let us look in the mirror of the truth to ourselves and to the state that our nation has reached today, and let us wonder by the courage of the honest and the sincere people: to what extent do we look like what God His Almighty wanted for us?

This is how we crown the occasion with its vivacity and significance. The Holy Prophet Birth is a recall for these glorified significances that we should correct by penitence, expiation, modesty, charity and adherence to the good will, so that we rise from that deep sleep and save our nation from these horrible calamities.

The bad and forbidden acts that were prohibited by the legislation and rejected by the sound human nature were first rejected by those obeying to God His Almighty at two levels: at the private level when human endeavors to repulse it from contravention to maintain, purify and discipline it so that it rises to satisfaction and recompense. What seems much more risky is found at the public level, when the contravention damage affects the entire population, and this is a heavy burden leading to a loss that cannot be compensated by money, by power, by positions, or by any other means in this material life.

Chivalry binds us to totally and expressly reject all that surrounds us of devastations that are being committed against Islam, not only by the heart and tongue, but through the acts and paths, being charged with responsibility, each one from his position in society and in the positions of authority and decision as well.

Burning books and libraries, neglecting the innocents’ bloods, devastating public places, offending by provocative expressions and with a cruel powerful hand, the conspiracy to commit corruption and spread it in public utilities and institutions, disturbing daily life with violent reactions and inciting expressions, defeating and rejecting others and making them evils; are all far away from the good ethics that the Messenger (Prayer be upon Him) wanted for us by the order of God His Almighty. All that is rejected by the Islam in its originality and principles.

Al Mustafa has invited us to the harmony and hearts unity {And verily this your religion is one religion}, but he said that he feels worried the most about the deceptive people of his nation…those who divide and provoke fanaticism.

Taking good care of the soul, the society and the city should all be subject to the values of justice, indulgence and harmony. How would we get to reach that without making the maximum efforts and attempts to achieve the unity of ranks and the whole unity in the scope of our constitutional, national and civil social institutions, for the salvation of our country and people from the vices of dissensions and risks of wars that are being launched far away from the real front with the tyrannical Zionist enemy.

At this occasion, we express our appreciation for the efforts of the Lebanese Army and the Security Forces for the preservation of security, valuing the efforts leading to support and reinforce them.

Let the opportunity be wide open today to the constitution of a national united government that prevents the slipping of the situation to the worst and immediately strives to get back the minimum of institutional, economical and security stability; also to solve people’s worries and problems and open the path toward a wise and conscious solution for the future and decisive due dates, the most important of which are the elections of the republic presidency, followed by the Parliament elections that remain the only means for the people to select their authorities, and thus, to come back to the wing of a promising State. The achievement of the highest purpose does not stem from the shallow verbal race by saving illusionary victories for this or that party, but it comes from a true national expression of the loyalty to the nation’s people and peace, which means by the mutual cessions and the diagnosis of reality in the mirror of the highest national interest. We thank God His Almighty that there are still in this country people adhering to the uniting deep-rooted principles and the consolidated principles through which Lebanon was built and will remain so.

We supplicate to God the all powerful to grant all of us the benediction of goodness to achieve the good and peace to our people, not only in Lebanon but in the rest of the Arab and Islamic countries, asking His Almighty that this fire would constitute the means that gets us to salvation and leads us to the grace of peace that represents in its true meaning the abidance by the eternal ethics and virtues carried to the entire humanity by the Messenger of the nation and Seal of the Prophets – Prayers and Peace be upon Him.
