Unity

with 2 comments

You know what’s one of the many things that is awesome about being a Muslim? The sense of unity.

Sunny dayIn UK, the Muslim community comprises of people from different countries and different backgrounds. But our faith bridges those language and cultural barriers. It’s natural to smile to another Muslimah and give salam (greeting) with “Assalamualaikum” (peace be upon you). There could be a group of us together who speak different languages, but we’d still be able to pray together (in jummah) and understand the muezzin (the person who leads the prayer). We don’t have to have a deep understanding of the culture of another Muslim, because Islam already has its own set of excellent advice on how to behave (adab). Believe it or not, this is how it is in EVERY country worldwide. masya Allah. What a wonderful thing God has willed :)

Here in this little city by the bay, I fell a lot of love coming from my sisters in Islam. masya Allah.
