Circle of 'Ulama' for Musa: A Memory of a dream
Assalamua'laikum,
Dear Musa,
Once there was a dream in me, to tell you about your place in this world, of what is the state and history and future of this world you have arrived into, for a short stay.
Please forgive me if I haven't conveyed this message to you very nicelyyet right now, five years after you have arrived.
I will try again, please forgive me.
Dear little boy, soon you will grow up, and one day perhaps, I will find myself an old woman. I hope I have taught you well about this world.
Dear little boy,
The first and foremost thing and dream, is that you must understand well, what does it mean to say La ilaha ilalLah, Muhammad Ar-Rasulullah. To live by this statement is the very core of our life.
Dear little boy,
Ummi is nobody special. Ummi is nobody amazing. Ummi has many faults. But still I need to teach you about this kalimah, this sentence, that we live by. We cannot do anything that is against this core kalimah of our life.
If I don't do anything else in this world good, I hope I will at least teach you about this kalimah. It means a lot. There is no teaching of it except to live by it.
I hope I will teach you about it, dear little boy...
