Friday Reflection: Act Justly

"A nation can survive unbelief but nations can not survive injustice."

Last year my classmate at the University, a brother and friend was to be appointed as the Head of Department (HOD) of the Mechanical Engineering department of one of the leading Polytechnics in Nigeria. Wahhabis in his department strongly opposed this just because he is a Shia Muslim and a member of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria. One of the Wahhabis said that if he were to be an ordinary Shia they will support him. Against all odds he eventually became the HOD. When he visited me for advice I told him to act justly with all including those Wahhabis that opposed him. I told him we are Revolutionaries and not reactionaries. We are guided by principles and not the action or inaction of our opponents.

This morning another brother and friend also sent me the same experience he had for the HOD position in one of the leading Universities in Nigeria. Today he is the HOD of that department. I gave him the same advice.

All the great men and women in history are not hate mongers. Hate mongering will never result in progress and development. The pillars of Wahhabism are hate mongering, intolerance and murderous terrorism. Extreme elements among them slaughter the innocent out of hate.

Dear Friends, who has attain the level of greatness among Wahhabis? Can you mention just one person? I know there is none because all the ingredients of greatness are absent in Wahhabism.
