witness

Bismillah..

"All men are members of the same body, Created from one essence
If fate brings suffering to one member, The others cannot stay at rest
You may remain indifferent
To the burden of others.
Do not deserve to be called human."
- Oneness of Mankind (Iranian poetry)

I remembered

he asked of us of what we'd do

to raise our hands if its our true intent

then he pointed upwards, saying

"He (Allah swt) bears witness over you (of what you say/d0)"

because we made a promise

"..Kami telah menjadikan kamu (Umat Islam) "umat pertengahan" agar kamu menjadi saksi atas (perbuatan) manusia dan agar Rasul (Muhammad) menjadi saksi atas (perbuatan) kamu.."

Surah Al-Baqarah, 2: 143


This is a message to muslims on their role on mankind.
That 'salaam' would pass through our fingers, regardless of race, skin colour, that wherever we go..we bring light, we ease of burdens, we help..even though stones would be thrown back at us or anything.
because our existence is not merely our own
that the message of rahmat passes to these people, too
that Allah SWT never forgets
..and its our role to pass that message on

"Dan mereka bersumpah dengan (nama) Allah dengan sumpah sungguh-sungguh, bahwa jika engkau suruh merka berperang, pastilah mereka akan pergi. Katakanlah, "Janganlah kamu bersumpah, (kerana yang diminta) adalah ketaatan yang baik. Sungguh, Allah Mahteliti terhadap apa yang kamu kerjakan."

Surah An-Nur, 24: 53  

"make true of your promise."
