What do he thinks we can/must do peacefuly but clearly now near to prayers? Also I need to know if Mawlana gives us permission to fast for Freedom. Every day till regime in Syria fall down. Monday and Thursday only? Another day? Men and women? Please very urgent! Please ask Mawlana to pray for us and for Syria. Your brother, [private]
Answer:
`Alaykum as-Salam, Mawlana is praying for the Ummah East and West, especially the holy lands including Sham ash-Sharif. Mawlana has said it not once or a hundred times but thousands of times, do not get involved in politics. Make a revolution against your ego. Mawlana repeats the advice of Rasulullah (upon him blesings and peace) that in times of fitna, keep to your homes and your prayer rug. And we do not fast for freedom but we fast for Allah Most High. Allah does not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves.
