All the Sincerity to the Gatherer Ancestries

The fact of promoting to the appropriate level, to which we should all look forward in order to approach the major questions asked in this time regarding the historical and ideological heritage of the Druze Unitarian, requires a minimum level of the mind’s respect, and what should an objective approach far away from the streaming that we can call today what we might call today “Media Pandemonium”.

The general impression generated from a superficial reading of things cannot be considered as science or knowledge. In fact, as we see, following and reporting about what is shown of interventions regarding this particular broad issue, we can only express our deep regret toward this quantum fearsome fallacies and allegations that offer us a false, ambiguous and strange spectacle that has no relation with the truth but the character of neglecting it, and the misprision in manipulating with it,  not to mention the potential of using empty facts from the real meanings that only aim at deepening the wrong gap and confusing the thoughts of lots of people who do not have sufficient capacity to examine and discriminate.

We must in this context recall the documentary assets that are radically much deeper in than the prevailing popular concepts with which we must, in any case, deal with respect upon the standard of the original and the intruder. There is a historical texts written by the Unitarians in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries that promote to the ranks of sources of Lebanon's history in that era described by many historians specialists as the “Dark Ages”. They also underlined the importance of these codes that highlight our country’s memory, and without which “these incidents have remained in limbo”.

The intended accidents can be placed in the context of participation of noble post ancestors in defending the brigade of the "nation" in its associative meaning, and which was a symbol of the Abbasid Caliphate and “the Emirates”, “Sultanates” of Saljoukis, Ayoubis and Mamluk that highlights its shadow. We have never read in those precious effects what shows a sectarian or factional dimensions, but we often read about knights who sacrifiedfor the sake of the dignity under one precious flag which is the flag of "nation".

What also matters is the extrapolation of the folk culture, customs and traditions and ethics of their speeches discovered by research and exploration, as if it is a stone of diamond enlightened by the same nobleness, parents and virility that cannot be destabilized by the storms of decades nor the catastrophes of destiny and abusers. 

 It consists of a sparkle in the water that reflects the souls and their beliefs. You shall deeply read the biographies that can be discerned from the historical text, the path that we stipulate to promote to the peak of human optimum verification, and what some others have advised by some of the well-established rules in the body of the Islamic heritage free of impurities arbitrariness and installation. Read the opinion and without measure, without detailing the dress on current facts and according to the whims of claim update (and this is what we find when some scribes who are engaged in the subject of heritage and standing above the sands of the beach sterile without sailing towards the prospects in its kind meaning). Let the mind net sincerely request the truth so as to be read that in the course of life for the purpose of reading approach and conduct that imposes rules and conditions before using the particles as a pretext to evade the same approach.

Any interpretation is perceived away from the basic foundations that God wanted as a base of the heavenly message in general, and the Quranic argument, in particular, is the interpretation of that we miss, opening the door towards the surface which the trustworthy have warned of its consequences. The issue cannot handle anymore any negligence and shallow act or the importunity of the tongue and "the pandemonium" generated by the interventions of intruders, and the ease of play through the means of social communication in this particular field.

We, in Akl Sheikhdom, call to comprehend the assets in a way that is appropriate to our ancient heritage. We also warn from a cheap negligence of the souls’ affairs and the trade of its different affairs.  Therefore, without a sincere and deep verification in high qualities of sincerity, knowledge, loyalty, honesty and chivalry and virility, what result can we expect for?
