Goodbye to Community Journalist Mohammad Jaber at IHW!

A man known for his friendship, love, passion, smiles and sincere media services to our community started his eternal journey after years of health struggles and sufferings!

Community members and leaders came to express their condolences and sympathy to Jaber family!

Imam Elahi spoke about journalist Mohammad dedication and friendly character and asked the youth in community to consider journalism as a serious field of study and proficiency to bring truth and awareness to the world!

Referring to a prophetic tradition on the importance of education through writing, imam said a true journalism is a big jihad in transformation of minds and hearts!

The visionary journalists live a struggling life, facing threat and intimidation by the forces of greed, corruption and crime!

Imam Elahi mentioned Jamal Khashoggi who lost his life for revealing the corruption of Saudi kingdom!

Another example journalism struggling was what happened to Marziya Hashemi. We hope she would be free soon.

Imam also admired a journalist of NYT Michelle Alexander for her recent article under “ Time to break silence in Palestine”

Osboo Memorial So passionate and Impressive Despite of No Electricity, No Generator! Candles Lights with Cordial Hearts Did make It!

Big part of Dearborn Heights was out of power last Sunday afternoon. Some friends asked what if we cancel the Osboo memorial? My answer was, let the spiritual light defeat the physical darkness!

At the end all were happy we kept our commitment to the souls of late Sami and Laila Mesbah Arabi. A brother and sister who passed away on the same day in Lebanon. (Allah Bless Their Souls)
Honorable Dr. Ali Ajami, Hajj Hassan Arabi and other family members warmly shook hands and welcomed the guests.
Br Zohair Alawiya and sheikh Ahmad Hamoud did a great job as they always do.
Imam Elahi dedicated his humble words about the best pattern of parenting.
How can we leave a legacy of righteous sons and daughters while departing this world so we would save their prayers for our souls?
From choosing nice names, teaching them the words of God, the love of His messenger, training them good character, discipline, responsibility, respect, love, peacefulness, friendliness, good communication, humbleness, honesty, understanding, organization, prayer and charity.
All parents are encouraged to read chapter of Luqman and letter 31 of Imam Ali in Nahjol-Balaqa and also the Charter of Rights of Imam Sajjad (SA), those texts are full of guidance on how to talk with our children!
So as children must be loving, kind and humble to their parents, the parents should be communicating with their children responsibly, correcting and not cursing them! Purifying and not punishing!
Considering the youth crises of identity and the dangerous threats to our new generation, the power of parenting is central in managing the challenge of our children!

Reading verses from the Holy Quran, imam Elahi asked the audience what would be our legacy after we leave this short life and start our journey of akhera and eternity?

Mentioning the legacy of leaders such as MLK, Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, imam Musa Sadr, Dr. Ali Shariati and so many other revolutionary reformers, the Imam emphasized on the legacy of standing for justice, freedom and truth while rejecting hatred, hypocrisy, fear mongering and war.
