Qasim Rashid Bhai, and I made a video about you doing a poem at MKA ijtema.
I am not mad or upset just communicating online.
Why have you all forgotten about your own brothers and sisters that have fallen?
Is that a sign of a good loving community? You all taught me how to serve and put God / Allah first and I did. Now my question to you is I am out here driving Uber at $20 an hour and could you some help.
Why has the LA Jamaat forgotten about me? Why have you not kept in touch? You are an élite from my perspective. I believe if we don’t help our own family and friends then how can we go make videos about others and talk about the élite?
Please don’t mind me calling you out because just like my family and friends this all falls on def ears. Our Hazoor lives like a king while I live like a slave / homeless person. Working 7 days a week. 12 to 14 hours a day to just service. I never asked you or anyone in the Jamaat for a penny. Please always remember that.
What does “Love for all hatred for none” means to you? If you cant talk to me then how will you answerer Allah or the Angles when you pass away?…
Remember at the time of the prophet they talk about giving water to the dying soldier’s? What about me and other brothers who have fallen but still alive? You don’t think Allah will question you one day?
