As I fly home to Austin, Texas, I remember the days before my conversion to Islam. I am reminded of Armando, a Latino Muslim. He helped introduce me to Islam. While pointing to the East and then the West, Armando said, "Look what God has given us. He created everything. God is All-Powerful." He had just finished praying magrib. The beauty of the sunset is still present in my mind. "Truly, in remembering Allah do hearts find rest," Allah states in the Quran 13:28. Looking outside this window, I cannot help grinning as I look to my left and then to my right. I found the true purpose of life. The purpose is not to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Instead, we must accept God as God. We Muslims acknowledge the true nature of our Creator. By doing so, we accept our own purpose as slaves to our Creator.
As we look at this Ummah (nation)-our Ummah, we will see how disunited we are. Ever wonder why with Islam we still aren’t united? Allah (subhanahuwatalla) only knows the true answer to that, but we can still come to our own conclusion. If we attempt to understand the cause of this separation we can only then begin to eliminate it.
The Islamic creed translated roughly into English from the Arabic reads;
I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except God, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God.
This simple yet profound concept and declaration is the very basis of reality. In fact, if one refuses to recognize and to act on this statement, this reality, then one is not sane. And his thoughts, movements, and actions are tainted with the stain of futility and psychosis regardless of any secular intellectual achievements or temporal wealth he may pile up in this fleeting world of wind, fire, and earth.
