Comments, Questions and Answers
01:24:02 Comment: First thank you for clearing up the history of education and Islam. I have had conversations with Muslims and it has been difficult to communicate the profundity of the origination and growth of Islam in America.
01:25:35 Question: Two questions: I was curious about the Ascension of the soul curriculum. Can you share more about that, is the aim to be used exclusively in our [Muslim] private and public charter schools or to be exported to the genereal public schools? Secondly, in regards to Imam Muhammad saying we should reject Western philosophy until we have our own identity. Do you think we are there yet to where we can take extract the good in those philosophies without it having an adverse effect on us?
01:29:21 Question: Could you elaborate on the significance of the rational aspect to the spiritual aspect, especially in the American and Black experience?
01:34:56 Comment: I was one of the people who was there when Muhammad Ali came to the school and visited the students back in the era of the First Resurrection. After the Second Resurrection we were all blessed to be entered into Islam. After all the work I've seen and been a part of, I have never heard anybody mention Elijah or Clara Muhammad at any point as contributors to the Black experience during Black History Month or any other time and it is gratifying to finally hear it.
01:37:00 Question: What would be a way forward into progression and, from a forward thinking perspective, if Elijah Muhammad were here, how do you think Muhammad how do you think he would feel or respond to this version of America (regarding Donald Trump and other racist factors)?
01:40:08 Question: What are the areas where we can build our expertise...in order to expand our foothold in society?
01:42:37 Question (Combined Audience member and online): Do you think that one of the reasons that we have not been able to progress is because we have not addressed racism in Islam amongst Muslims? - Question: Is it possible to get a copy
of what you have been reading from, and also how do we share these ideas into these non-Islamic institutions so that Black children can get this information as a part of their history and finally is there a historical text that you would recommend for
children?
