Welcome Message By Laila Ali
May the Peace and Mercy of Allah (swt) be upon Muhammad (s.a.w), His Progeny (a.s), The
Imams (a.s) and the Mahdi’s (a.s)
Salam,
I pray you are all well and in a Place Most
Pleasing to Allah (swt), InshaAllah, Mola Ali
Waaris.
It has been a long time since we have had a
publication of the magazine and it feels
amazing to sit down and begin working on
it, Alhamdolillah. Thank you all for your
patience and understanding. We have had
some contact issues within the magazine; I
have not been able to get a hold of the
upper management and have been just
waiting to hear back hence why it has not
been released. I appreciate all the messages
that were sent in expressing frustration out
of love and I even saw re-posting of various
articles from the magazine on websites,
which really made me realise the
importance and in turn want to do
something. So, after waiting for so long, I
decided to take matters into my own hands
and publish the magazine myself. Yes, we
are all brothers and sisters, however selfreliance is in essence self-empowerment
and those of you who know me well know
my love and admiration for my spiritual
father, Malcolm X. Therefore in keeping
with his philosophy, I adopted a “Do For
Self” attitude in regards to the magazine as
well and decided to put it together myself. I
consider this magazine itself a
revolutionary action and will not look
towards others to help me continue on with
it. Therefore you are more than welcome to
once again send in your articles and
suggestions to further develop it. The
magazine is not owned by any one person
or HashemStudios, it is a work we place
forward to the Imam of the time (a.s)
anyone wanting to work on it, is more than
welcome.
A lot has happened since we last had a
publication, a centre in Malaysia and
possible centre in England, Street Dawah
with the Swedish Ansar Allah, the Savior
Network channel and the release of the long
awaited “The Atheist Delusion” by Ahmad al
Hassan (a.s). MashaAllah, it seems like there
has been much development. When we look
back to the time we just came across the
Dawah to now, we see how far the Call has
travelled and it is truly a humbling feeling
to see the hand of Allah (swt) guiding this
Blessed effort.
We cannot deny that we are part of a
massive revolution. Just looking at where
we were to where we are today is a
testimony of that. None of you can deny the
changes in you, the evolution from where
you were before finding Ahmad al Hassan
(a.s) and how you are today. Hence why I
call this a Revolution, take away the “R” and
you see you cannot have a Revolution
without an Evolution. A spiritual evolution,
a mental growth, an internal expansion. The
process of blossoming, a pure, clean rose
pushing itself out from between cold,
concrete slabs of the Dunya. One of those
miracles in which you truly see the Creator
and His Glory guiding His creation.
Speaking of Revolution, as you can see the
theme here is Malcolm X. Granted, I don’t
need an excuse to bring Malcolm into
anything, however 19th May 2014 marks
Malcolm X Day and I had to honour this
beautiful brother.
