The Convention was attended by more than 18,000 Muslims of North America. Dear Muslims, I welcome you to ISNA's 35th Annual Convention. I pray to Allah to bless this gathering and to help us to take benefit of this time. May Allah strengthen our faith and commitment to His religion and may He increase our brotherhood, sisterhood and unity. Dignity does not mean arrogance, self-conceit, haughtiness or false pride.
Dignity is in moral excellence.
Dignity is in faith in Iman, not in Kufr and faithlessness. Islam stands for human dignity and honor and gives a very universal and comprehensive concept of dignity. It tells us that we must recognize our own worth and value, we must not loose this worth and value. It is a very precious gift of Allah. We must guard it.
