Spirit of Bilal: The Community Is Born, Paperback/Imam Shahid Abdullah

Descriere

Description The challenge of the world to renew itself gave birth to a new community that will change the world in a way in which few events have done. Born out of the African-American experience in America that embraced Al-Islam, it will call world to human excellence as exemplified in the life example of Prophet Muhammed Ibn Abdullah (PBUH). Based on the commentary (Tafsir) of Imam W. D. Mohammed, Spirit of Bilal captures two main information-rich concepts. First, it unravels the mysterious and hidden messages in historical and religious text that were kept from humanity for centuries. This enables the individual to gain the power of independent thought as a result of a greater sense of control produced by making the facts understandable. It answers crucial questions and gives the solution that will change the world. Page after page, it travels through a thought-provoking and intellectually stimulating journey to reveal the knowledge that has been echoing through time hidden in symbolic language. Second, it points out in detail how this new community will impact on humanity. Because of this community, the transformation of the world is unavoidable-it has no power to withstand the inevitable change. The community is born with a specific responsibility to introduce the key elements that are essential and irreversible for the world to become new. It has been made clear in revelation and documented in history that a community will be raised with the power to bring about a natural, more complex and better form of life based on Moral Excellence.
