Reflection 1-89

The spiritual engine behind the entire Ummah is the heart of Rasulullah (S). We are each but a caboose or box car, linked to those before us and thus pulled along. To think oneself an engine, and thus to disconnect from the car ahead of us, is as empowering, and affords as much autonomy, as a mountaineer that cuts his own cable. There is a rush and swiftly he is free – to plummet to his death, that is.
