    The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever has three daughters and is patient with them and gives them to drink and clothes them, they will be a protection for him against the Fire.”
    My brother, you can have double the protection now :). May Allah have mercy on all of us.

    Now to Yusef...I heard an interview with Rock Newman, where he kicked the rhyme also. Powerful words from a VERY powerful man. This speech is WONDERFUL.

    Blacks in America are experts on Forgiveness.
    We have endured every form of inhumane torture and abuse and here we are today in the Christian church and still smiling and trying to gain acceptance.
    The Arc of the moral universe bends very slowly, hopefully eventually it turns towards justice.

      MUSLIMS took care of their brother. Christians don't take care of their brothers. Don't blame the muslim 15 year old brotha because he couldnt force adults to pull Korey into the Muslim fold. Muslims would have welcomed him.

    "It's not a conspiracy... it's all part of the plan. We call it a conspiracy because we can't wrap our minds sometimes around the devious nature of things."
    I mean... that just sounds like the conspiracy is planned? Unless by "the plan" he means God's plan? But then it's still a conspiracy, it's just a conspiracy that's part of God's plan...
