Bismillah Adhan means come alive to Prayer and community life I remember reading and reflecting on the Prophet in the Bible it says He came to the widow’s son and they wanted him to help the widow’s son and they thought he was dead. The Prophet said “Oh no he’s not dead he’s just sleepeth,”, he’s just sleeping. Well this world has had us sleeping but not really dead, dead to our responsibilities, yes, dead to our honor that G-d created us for, yes, dead to our love and respect we should have for one another, yes. But not really dead, just sleeping and the call comes the Adhan “Hayya alas salat”, be alive for prayer and worship. “Hayya alas falah,” be alive for community development. You ask any peasant in Arabia, in an Arab country or other countries that know Arabic, ask a man what does he understand when it says “Falah?” He’ll say “Oh I am a “Falaheen” I’m one of the “Falaheen.” It’s a farmer, a cultivator of the land. The Hon. Elijah Muhammed before he died he established Progressive land developers, a sign that one day, maybe it won’t work now because of our situation, maybe the courts will take it all as he said “They are going to take it all,” that’s what the Hon. Elijah Muhammed told us. But I have already put it in your mind to be progressive land developers. “Hayya alas salat” educate the soul and intellect Q. 2.l30; Whoever reject Abraham’s way is a fool “And who turns away from the religion of Abraham but such as debase their souls with folly?” So let’s not look at a corporate title, let’s look at the message in that title, be progressive land developers, “Hayya alah falah” two times, cultivate the soul and cultivate the neighborhood. “Hayya alas salat” two times educate the soul and educate the intellect, become wise in spirit and wise in the world. What do you want other than that? Anyone who wants a Religion other than the Religion of Abraham makes himself a fool” that’s what G-d says in the Qur’an And was Muhammed (pbuh) who came to the world as a mercy to all the worlds to guide us to the promised land to what G-d promised our father Abraham. And I conclude with that and may G-d have mercy on us forgive us our sins and grant us guidance. For only He can guide without His guidance we have no guidance Ameen. 8-30-2002 Jumah Natl Convention Chicago, Ill Imam Warith Deen Mohammed
