Aug. 22 corresponds to the 27th day of the month of
Rajab of the year 1427.
This, by tradition, is the night when many Muslims
commemorate the night flight of the prophet
Muhammad on the winged horse Buraq, first to 'the
farthest mosque,' usually identified with Jerusalem,
and then to heaven and back.
In Islam, as in other religious, certain beliefs describe
the "cosmic struggle" at the end of time, ending in the final victory of the forces
of good over evil.
We all have our inner daemons, as Muslims we must look at ourselves and help identify and neutralize those who wish to hijack our religion for the propagation of their own hatred and political agenda. Let's hope that mankind can live peacefully together irrespective of race, religion or creed.
