did it for me it did it for him Imams a
that did it for dr. Abdullah Hakim quit
for dr. Omar Abdullah Farooq and there's
many other converts in this hall we know
what we're talking about
Mustafa Shaheed right there we know what
we're talking about
some of y'all have been taking this
religion for granted for so long
you don't know what you have you don't
know the precious gift that you've been
given but you owe it to people out there
that need this elevating transformative
force
this power this spiritual power that can
take a degraded individual and turn them
into a mover of mountains a leader of
men give him or her the human dignity
needed to live a life that in the end
somebody can say that's a great man
that's a great woman that's what this
man that we're honoring tonight means to
me he's a great man
and as long as there are Muslims in
America he should be remembered and
inshallah he will be remembered and
honored
Longfellow says lives of great men all
remind us we too can make our lives
sublime and departing leave behind us
footprints on the sands of time
footprints that perhaps another sailing
or life solemn main a forlorn and
shipwrecked brother seeing so they shall
take heart again let us then be up and
doing with a heart for any fate still
achieving still pursuing learn to labor
and to wait that's what the life of a
great man is about it's an example it's
an imam he is an imam on that day we are
going to be called and be behind our
Imams who is your Imam
who is your exemplar inshallah it'll be
the most dignified of human beings
Akram oh hello kinder the noblest of the
messengers sallallahu and Eva and he was
Sedna said on my neck
