Once I was in a place where they had a lot of wild pigeons. I asked the people if they could catch such pigeons and they replied, "We can’t, because they are very wild."
One day when I was in a gathering, I went to the window to get some fresh air and suddenly I saw two pigeons. I snatched at them and caught them both. I rushed back to the gathering and asked them, "What is in my hands?"
I had already hidden the pigeons behind my back. They kept guessing and giving wrong answers until I showed them the pigeons. They were amazed and they asked me how I caught two when catching one was impossible? I answered: "They were fighting so hard that their beaks were buried in each other’s skin. They were blind to me. All I had to do was grab both of them from their heads with a single hand."
I added; I wonder how blind we Muslims are these days, fighting on small differences while our enemy is having all the advantage to plot and plan against us as a whole.
We should open our eyes before it is too late.

khadeejahow very true of the muslim ummah of today, especially the ulama of south africa. If only we could put our differences aside and concentrate on the things that bring us together. Only then will we, as an ummah progress in our efforts to spread Islam to all corners of our beautiful country.
