Imagine the America you want to live in #12

Date: October 05, 2003 | 8 Shaban 1424 Hijriah
Blog: veiled4allah
Subjects: dialogue
This week's question is:

What are you doing to create optimism in your own life and for the future of this country?

Post a comment and share your thoughts. Don't forget to read the ground rules for discussion! Please treat others with respect.
The basic rules I ask everyone to agree to follow are:

1) Listen with curiousity and respect.
2) Seek to understand others rather than to persuade them.
3) Offer what you can and ask if you need anything.
4) Speak honestly, but briefly so that others feel free to contribute
and be heard.

The basic principles of this dialogue are:

1) We need to get to know each other if we are to make America a better
place.
2) We can disagree on issues and still share common values.
3) Diverse experiences, opinions, and ideas create stronger dialogues.
4) Our lives and our future depend on human goodness.

I'm educating myself and hope to help educate others, in however small a way, through my online activities. I'm also making connections, both online and off, with people who share my goals and values so that we can work together for change. My political involvement is one example of this.

Sallam, my intention has been to apply the qualities of our Prophet, peace be upon him, to my being and my actions. As a sufi, I am doing this by emulating my Shaykh. What better way to look forward to Ramadan, than to practise softeness,trustworthiness, forgiveness, love and unity? By striving to see Allah's Unity in everything I immeadiatly become optimistic. I do not worry about the future of my country, (per se), because the future belongs to Allah. May Allah bless the work you do here. keep it up. Asallam alaykum HU, kevin germain
