Today...

Saturday 11 September 2010 at 16:59

Peace and blessings be upon you all,
On this day of Eid, where we celebrate and rejoice, let us not forget those who are suffering and have suffered throughout history.
It is particularly poignant on this day, 11th of September, that we remember those who were tragically murdered in cold-blood 9 years ago and it’s absolutely imperative that we categorically and unequivocally continue to condemn this, and indeed, all acts of terrorism — especially those carried out in the name of our peaceful faith. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims of 9/11 and with all the bereaved of this world.
Let’s all pray and work towards a brighter and more peaceful world for ourselves, our children and for future generations to come.
God bless you all & Eid Mubarak.
Sami
