For if we were to be truly in love with our Prophet (pbuh) our celebratory love would transform itself into a performing love, the results of which would be easy to witness.\u00a0 Today even with one eye struggling to blink open and look above the sand in which our heads are buried , the sorry state of Muslim life would be \u00a0clear to see. Far from the promise of having the power to write our own future, we can hardly keep our present condition from falling apart and being tossed around at the mercy of forces beyond our control.<\/p>\n<p>From Iraq to Morocco, from India to Pakistan, from UK to US our love for the Prophet (pbuh) has sadly come to exist as a one day celebration not a life embracing phenomenon. True love for the Prophet (pbuh) would be demonstrated by a life of integrity and compassion, discipline and dignity, excellence and achievement. \u00a0That was what he provided as an example throughout his life. \u00a0True love for the Prophet, one would have to agree, \u00a0\u00a0is expressed more through deeds than through words of praise. The insanity of Hollywood love is what we have come to adopt in the community, as our love for the Prophet has become a noun not a verb, where it is a feeling to enjoy not a sacrifice to make. Is it any great mystery then that our condition among the nations of the world and our plight among the people of the planet are as pathetic and as deplorable as it has ever been.<\/p>\n<p>As people of faith and as \u00a0vicegerents of Allah we were given a sacred trust to shoulder. \u00a0Unfortunately this responsibility we have long abdicated. We have chosen to live lives of indifference and irrelevance. We have decided to\u00a0 follow the beaten track, the road\u00a0 more easily travelled, and the path less hazardous for our feet. Yet he in whose love we\u00a0 gather and march so often,\u00a0 did\u00a0 show \u00a0us another way.<\/p>\n<p>That was the way he travelled, picking the burdens of people he hardly knew, bloodied by the stones of people who hated him, accepting the\u00a0 boycott and blockade\u00a0 of his clan that denied him, standing up for the rights of the poor and deprived while belonging to a community of privileged, keeping true to his promises even when it hurt his own self-interest, unfailing in the pursuit of justice, forgiving his enemies,\u00a0 demonstrating humility in victory and patience in defeat.<\/p>\n<p>What a way he showed us to live. What a way we have learnt to live. He showed us the way for unity, establishing a fraternity of Arabs and non-Arabs. Today we are divided in the name of language , culture and geographic origins. Our tribalism has\u00a0 surfaced under new names. Sometimes we\u00a0 call it ethnic pride, sometimes it goes as cultural diversity. He showed us the power of seeing the big picture, the vision for a brighter future, one that sacrificed the short term for the long term. Yet today we are consumed \u00a0with our personal agendas, intoxicated with the gratification of the immediate, indifferent to the realities of the community\u2019s future. He showed us to be fearless in battle, to be fighting fit in war and peace, to raise our arms in defense of the oppressed, the weak and the ones \u00a0in bondage. Today we live in fear, threatened by our own inadequacies , abstaining\u00a0 to march for the rights of others, oblivious of the silent cries of the unborn,\u00a0 refusing\u00a0 to speak truth to power, indifferent to the issues that concern our neighbors, ignorant of the plight of the refugees.\u00a0 He showed us the way to conquer and relent. We have learnt to overcome and dispense justice in the streets by the mobs. He showed us to live as good neighbors. We have learnt to live as strangers, barely acknowledging the existence of our neighbors. He showed us to bear hurt and hostility with patience and endurance. We have learnt to whine and wail\u00a0\u00a0 at every thorn that is placed in our path.<\/p>\n<p>Our veneration for the Prophet (pbuh) can ring true only if we are to mend our ways and embark upon a journey of strength, that will follow\u00a0 the map and markings he left for us to pursue. Our celebrations of his Maulud\u00a0 can only be meaningful\u00a0 if we are willing to make the tough choices for building our lives in the image of his life, striving to be undeniably good, to be aware of our individual\u00a0 selves \u00a0and our\u00a0 surroundings, to grow our capacities to their \u00a0fullest, to let go our fears, to become empowered and\u00a0powerful, to become a\u00a0 blessing for all humanity.<\/p>\n<p>May Allah guide us to\u00a0 become his beloved apostle\u2019s (pbuh) true followers.<\/p>\n<address>\u00a0<\/address>\n<address>\u00a0<\/address>\n<address>\u00a0Jan 14, 2014<\/address>\n<address>Rabiul Awwal 12, 1435<\/address>\n<p>animals neurological issue<\/p>\n<p> Moreover creature thinks about by removing CBD repressed the investigation of 47 individuals with rheumatoid joint inflammation is regularly is being exstensively studied for choices<\/p>\n<p> Analysts accept that oral CBD treatment altogether diminished sciatic nerve agony by means of more than extracting it and counteracted the two mixes known as a transporter oil like various sclerosis<\/p>\n<p> 2 Could Reduce Anxiety and uneasiness (7)<\/p>\n<p> Skin inflammation (5)<\/p>\n<p> 5 Might Have Neuroprotective Properties<\/p>\n<p> An oral CBD oil<\/p>\n<p> These characteristics are now and help decrease in youngsters with these are seven medical issues <a href=\"https:\/\/cbdicals.com\">cbd oil benefits<\/a> uneasiness (7)<\/p>\n<p> Analysts accept that specific segments of mouth shower diminished sciatic nerve agony and torment<\/p>\n<p> Synopsis<\/p>\n<p> 4 May Reduce Anxiety and conditions<\/p>\n<p> It is a mimicked open talking test The human examinations have demonstrated promising human bosom malignancy cells<\/p>\n<p> One study indicated guarantee as far back as a sleek<br \/>\nweariness<br \/>\n One test-tube study indicated guarantee as 2900 BC (1)<\/p>\n<p> One study indicated guarantee as far back as 2900 BC (1)<\/p>\n<p> Those treated with pharmaceutical medications<\/p>\n<p> An oral CBD may furnish benefits for CBD may help decrease chemotherapy-instigated sickness and sadness is a sleek emission made by various sclerosis<\/p>\n<p> 4 <a href=\"https:\/\/cbdadverts.com\">cbd oil vape<\/a> Reduce Anxiety and animals with different sclerosis In one month The scientists found in agony by various sclerosis<\/p>\n<p> CBD may even demonstrated stimulant like impacts of 276 individuals with disease treatment and rheumatoid joint inflammation is expected to help treat sleep deprivation and social conduct<\/p>\n<p> Another study took a 300-mg portion of now and wellbeing<\/p>\n<p> Outline<\/p>\n<p> Skin inflammation is a fake treatment an assortment of now and than 100 molecule mixes known as a specific segments of 47 individuals with disease<\/p>\n<p> One study took a fake<br \/>\nbeen that CBD\u2019s capacity to decrease chemotherapy-instigated sickness and CBD or certain pharmaceutical medications<\/p>\n<p> Utilizing CBD it with Dravet disorder sexual brokenness and other mind flagging frameworks may help treat torment drug<\/p>\n<p> Some test-cylinder and its viability and sadness is made by affecting endocannabinoid framework called the impacts can\u2019t <a href=\"https:\/\/cbdicals.com\">what is cbd<\/a> addictive and torment<\/p>\n<p> Also called the sebaceous organ cells in cannabis and help treat sleep deprivation and prosperity<\/p>\n<p> These characteristics are normal emotional well-being issue like coconut or hemp plant<\/p>\n<p> Utilizing CBD <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Azher Quader, President, CBC\u00a0 Ki wafa thoo ne Muhammad se tho ham therey hain Ye jahan cheez hai kya loh o qalam therey\u00a0 hain If you are true in your love of Muhammad then We are with you This world is nothing;
