Each Community is a Bus
Each community, each nation and each faith is like a beautiful
bus; when you plan to go somewhere, you
make sure all its tires have the same amount of air pressure for
it to run effectively, to give better mileage, lasting tire
wear..... all the mechanical parts must be greased, all the parts
must be checked for a safe, stable and
sure journey.
We need
to work together to ensure that every one is
on par to ride the road of progress, we need to fill the tire if
the pressure is inadequate, instead of asking the tire to fill
itself. Whose loss is it if the tire does not fill itself? We have
to help the communities that are at a disadvantage. We need to
bring them to a well balanced, smoothly functioning society.
Ignoring one tire or a community is an irresponsible thing for the
bus journey.
It is the responsibility of each person in the world to make a
better world. Each day we need to ask ourselves, what have we done
today to make the world a better place?
Peace and prosperity of our World hinges on justice and plurality,
absence or deficiency of it will cause the
BUS
to slow down. It is in the interests of Community of the Nations
to bring up the people in ditches on to a
level playing field,
and let them compete from that point forward. Imagine each
community to be a tire of the bus, if all the tires have adequate
air pressure, the smoothness of the journey is certain, assured
and safe.
Each one of us needs to be the 'source' of goodwill
to
bring that equilibrium. You and I are not safe if the world around
us isn't. All change begins with you and me. And I pledge that
whatever I do, I will do it to bind people together, and will be a
source of goodwill.
Try filling your heart with
goodwill and fight with yourselves to remove any prejudice you may
have..... some day, you would have changed the lives of at least a
few people around you, but more than any one else, it will be you
who will find boundless joy in yourselves. Be contagious with your
freedom.
Best wishes

know one another. The noblest of you, in sight of Allah, is
the best in conduct. Allah Knows and is Aware.
