MashaALLAH! It is important that we keep the biographies of our heroes alive. How many of us know the biographies of the great scholars of the past? Do we know their names or where they were born? We hear their names all the time but what can we tell our children about them? At night, when we tell bedtime stories, what are we telling?

Many of those who went before us lived in a harsh reality in conditions that were not nearly as comfortable as what we have today. They had no internet, only intellect. They couldn’t get on Skype for a study session or pal talk for a global session on whatever topic is hot at the moment. They had to sacrifice, travel, live on the verge of starvation sometimes and face other types of adversity.

We should love them and revere them like the non-Muslims love fairytales. If we as an ummah don’t know where we began, we will lose our identity and pride. We will have no sense of self, no pride in our legacy. Let’s do our best to stop that from happening, InshaALLAH.
