Today, the Muslim community lost a teacher and a leader. Imam Warith Deen Mohammed transcended boundaries to bring Islam to many homes, schools, communities and beyond. His passing today is a reminder to us that we need to latch on to our rightly guided leaders as they are the ones who will resist the tide, move towards the truth and hold our hands.

If you have not had a chance to read his biography, please take a moment to remember Imam W. D.
