بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Another day in Babylon – waiting for salvation from oppression, poverty and exploitation. Some praying to a white, bearded mystery God up in the sky, believing the lies of false prophets and preachers who argue that there’s redemption in suffering and death. Others, tricked by the illusion of Dajjal, having been sold defeat, moral decay and slavery as victory, advancement, and freedom – bow to the modern Idols of Politician and Celebrity, believing the ballot box to be the new messiah.

Another day, like EVERY day that’s gone before. And still there’s no hope to be seen. The gears of their heartless machine continue to grind forward, as their wheels of destruction trample all life asunder.

And still we wait. Everyday, victims of their tyranny. Living and dying under their blasphemy.

500 years in this land they’ve reigned. And even longer in the lands from where they came. Oh, how their wickedness has spread like the plague. So much death. So many graves.

And even after all these years, the wounds still cut deep. From their unholy crusades, to this country’s so called "discovery." BLOOD stains every page of their history.

500 nations wiped away. Victims of genocidal, racist policy. TORTURE, MURDER, RAPE. The cold routine of everyday. Natives scalped, shot, burnt at the stake – the survivors sold, put up for trade, locked away on reservations. Through WARFARE, STARVATION, and DISEASE, entire tribes and cultures driven extinct.

Millions brought to the west as slaves. From their homeland – stolen away. Shackled, chained, packed on ships like human cargo. On that hellish journey across the Atlantic, the lucky ones jumped to a watery grave. Still today, their bones rest beneath the sea. But those who survived had a fate much worse than death. 400 years of brutality. CRACKING WHIPS, BURNING HEAT – and for those who still fought on – THE LYNCHING TREE.

AND STILL WE LIVE WITH THE LEGACY. On the reservation, in the barrio, and on the ghetto streets – people living and dying, separate and unequal under white supremacy. Yes, for Black, Red, and Brown, in this country – APARTHIED is still reality. Everyday living as 2nd class citizens in a first world country; kept in line by a constant threat of police brutality and outright murder.

And with no future to be seen, self destruction becomes the only relief. Drug addiction, promiscuity, anything to ease the pain. Everyday leading to more crime and disease, as the remnants of Noble nations are washed down the drain – broken, discarded, left for dead.

Meanwhile the Third world struggles to be free but is still caught in the chains of western ideology and "culture." For power, the left and right continue to compete, while their people rot in poverty. And as things get worse in this economic condition – as millions are dying of malnutrition and disease – more women begin selling their bodies to make ends meet, and more children are bought, sold and traded in the ever growing market of sexual exploitation. Every day, humanity falls further into a life of degradation and despair. Almost nothing remains sacred, as the agents of Shaiytan (poverty and materialism) continue to strip away all human dignity.

Meanwhile the earth – and all LIFE upon it – takes the brunt of humanity’s trials and tribulations. Species are hunted to extinction. Forests clear cut. Oceans polluted. And everyday, the butcher wields his knife, taking more and more life, as man devours Allah’s creation from off the earth.

And through it all, still we wait. Occupying our time with meaningless pursuits to distract our minds from the reality of these end times. Praying for the intervention of the divine, but doing nothing to change our lives. Somehow, still believing that Heaven is up in the sky – instead of within our hearts, and right before our eyes.

And like our ancestors before, we’ll go to our graves – leaving our children to suffer the same, unless we get up, stand up and fight.

For too many generations have passed away, thinking theirs was the one to be saved. And once again (like the victims of yesterday), those who are suffering and dying today, do NOT have time to wait. We must use our free will to decide our fate; to be free or to die as slaves. And since Allah created us in harmony, and placed us in Paradise – to abandon that for the Hell within which we live, would not only be a waste, it would be a Sin.

So for strength and victory let us pray. And then Jihad we must wage. Not merely an outward Jihad against the infidel, the Kufr, the tyrant, but an inward Jihad of self purification, spiritual progression and edification. We must learn to live like Muhammad (sal), Buddha, `Isa (Jesus). For it is the Insan Kamil or true hu-man being who is the foundation of Heaven on Earth. So let us educate ourselves and liberate our minds from the illusion and lies of the system. Let us strive towards upright living and honesty. No more talking justice while stabbing our brothers and sisters in the back. No more talking about equality, unless we can stop objectifying the human body and treating the opposite sex like a commodity. For we are all ONE in Allah’s sight. And if we love Allah, then we must respect Allah’s creation. No more abusing our bodies with fast food, cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs. No more talking about faith when we can not even be faithful to our partners. The time has come to change. Peace on earth begins within. If we are humble, modest, calm, compassionate, and sincere, it will manifest in our homes. And only once this has happened, once we have our own house in order, can we begin rebuilding our communities – improving our standard of living both morally and economically. Only through this effort will conditions begin to change in the world. For there is no point in waging an external Jihad, if our hearts and actions are as corrupt and evil as those we fight against.

So come, let us use the sword of Jihad to slash the veils of illusion from before our eyes – cutting the wickedness from our hearts. It’s time to wake up and live. For only those pure of faith, intention and action will have the strength to strike down this system of Dajjal.

Allahu Akbar!!!
