as salaam alaikum,I was there in the first resurrection as we called it then.Wondering what part I was going to play in sharing Islam with the rest of the world.I didn’t think small back then and looking over my life I think I did contribute something to this great work that was started originally by our prophet muhammad[p.b.u.h] of Arabia.I’m grateful to Allah to have met and know Imam w.d. muhammad and to see the part that he played in Allah’s plan.may we all find our role,ameen.
