Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,
In the wake of the recent presidential election, in which the American populace has expressed its choice through a democratic process, the North American Imams Fellowship calls upon its members and the broader Muslim community to thoughtfully engage with this new chapter and actively participate in dialogue with the incoming administration.
Democracy represents the voice of the people, and it is crucial that our perspectives and values are integral to the discussions that will shape the future of our nation. We urge all Muslims to initiate contact with their local and national leaders, fostering constructive partnerships aimed at enhancing the well-being of all citizens, particularly within the Muslim community.
Moreover, we emphatically demand that the new administration take immediate and decisive action to end the war in Gaza. The ongoing violence has led to profound suffering and an unacceptable loss of life, and we expect American leadership to stand firmly for peace and justice in the region. It is imperative that the administration prioritizes the protection of innocent lives and works towards a sustainable resolution to this humanitarian crisis.
At this critical juncture, it is essential for us to unite in promoting a message of compassion and justice, striving for a society that prioritizes equity and peace. We must seize this opportunity to come together with intent and determination, building a better future for our community and society at large.
May Allah grant us wisdom, patience, and the strength to effect positive change.
Respectfully,
Dr. Abdulhakim Mohamed
