Dear brothers and sisters,
     Assalam-o-Elekum!


Last night I got the chance to see the new movie "Malcolm X." 
Now when I know who he was and what his beliefs were, I am compelled  
by my conscience to deliver to you what I feel.

The basic theme behind his teachings was that the only way to  
salvation is via Allah the great. Throughout his life he tried to  
make the colored people believe that the solutions to their miseries  
lie only and only in Islam.He completely changed his way of living  
and preferred Quran's teachings over his temptations. In other words  
the movie portrays him as an ideal Muslim.

Now, the point I want to make is this that when the young colored  
generation of this country sees the movie and gets impressed from the  
teachings of Islam, their basic instinct would make them look upon we  
Muslim brothers as an example. And I frankly don't think that we  
(including myself) are living our lives according to the teachings of  
Islam, it's prophet Muhammad's (Peace be upon him), and the Holy  
Quran's.

This might pinch you but I think that it's the bitter truth. What we  
all need to do is try (because that's the least we can do) to lead  
our lives in such a manner that it really portrays Islam as THE  
GREATEST RELIGION or should I call THE GREATEST SALVATION.

Please think over what I have said and let us all try to keep Isalm  
the fastest growing religion in the United States of America.

Thanks a lot for reading this. May the blessings of Allah be with  
you.
Khuda Hafiz.
