About the Tree
Implanted almost two
decades ago, Shajaratun Muntazirah or
Awaiting Tree is a family tree of expectants (muntazirin) in the
different parts of the Philippines.
Throughout these years, it is nurtured by the muntazirin's firm conviction,
dedication, and sacrifices in pursuit of active waiting (intizar). Their
conception of intizar revolves around three intertwined principles of protest,
hope, and endeavor.
Protest involves rejection of the existing reality full of corruption,
injustice, and falsehood.
As a complementary to the act of disdaining the filths of the status quo,
hope refers to the fervent yearning for the realization of the dream day
when truth, justice, and faith reign supreme.
Nonetheless, protest and hope are accompanied by concrete action. Hence,
there must be an individual and collective endeavor of preparing the ground
for the advent of the most-cherished future.
May the Awaiting Tree enjoy the shining splendor of the Awaited Sun who is
expected to rise at the appointed time. Hence, heralding the dawn of the
ultimate triumph of Truth and the truthful.
