- Remembering the Shias of Kuwait whose peace and tranquillity was shattered in the month of Ramadhan due to a suicide bombing at their mosque.
- We are reminded about our duty in regards to the situations in different parts of the Shia world.
- Talking about the nuclear deal between Iran and the 5+1 world powers.
- The preferred path is sitting down for negotiation with the opponents in mutual respect without compromising one’s principles and values.
- Discussing the example of the Prophet and the treaty of Hudaibiya.
- Quoting a relevant phrase from the Toronto Star newspaper.
- The Arabs in the Arab world seem to be uncomfortable with the deal.
- This should be a moment of reflection for the world powers because their ideology is the mother of all extremism that is visible in the Middle East and in the Muslim world.
- Quote from a dua of the month of Ramadhan where we pray to God to reform whatever is wrong in the affairs of the Muslims.
- It is not only a plea, it’s a message that individually and collectively we need to guide ourselves back to the values of Islam.
- Reform is only required when there is ‘fasad’ present, meaning when we have lost our orientation and bearings.
- The biggest ’fasad’ in the present day is extremism.
- Discussing the importance of civic engagement by Muslims in Canada.
- The example of what happens when we are absent from the scene.
- Fortunately for the Muslims, despite their absence, the liberal members of the senate disagreed with the training and certification of Imams in Canada to counter terrorism.
- Even the Canadian mainstream media became the upholder of Canadian values and spoke on behalf of the Muslims.
- As a community we have to be engaged with the media also.
- We should be sending thank you emails to them to show our appreciation.
- It is our duty to be present where issues concerning Muslims and Muslim communities are being discussed.
- However we have to learn how to communicate and engage in dialogue with them in a civil manner.
