American Muslims shaping the future through faith and vision
This episode is a brief section of Omar Suleimans speech at the Muslim American Society and the Islamic Circle of North America 16th Annual Convention in Chicago.
Omar Suleiman warns that the eyes that are on us and are paying attention to us, are looking for what we represent and how we embody the faith that we insist is different than that which they have been fed.
They are looking to us out of curiosity, sometimes out of hatred, but very few people know the beauty of Allah and his messenger and the message He sent through that messenger and it goes back to us and it goes back to that vision.
This is a call for vision, which takes into consideration the long-term future of Islam and this country.
I am not thinking about whether or not Islam will have a future for the next twenty years, I am sure that Islam will have a future in this country for the next two hundred years. I am not worried about my institution getting shut down, I am establishing new institutions while the president is barking at our religion and at our people.
We are not afraid, there is no reason to be afraid. We are the nation of a prophet who did not produce sheep, we are the nation of a prophet who produced visionaries.
