FELMAUSA AND COMMUNITY
UNIFICATION
By: Shu’aib Konneh
13 January, 2012
Over the past years the Federation of Liberian Mandingo
Association in the United States has served as one of the
uniting factors in our community and it’s one of the most
successful African organizations in the US. Our brothers and
sisters in the US and around the world were amazed by the
collective efforts of those that worked diligently to put
this unique body together to unify our community. Every
individual has the potential to improve his/her life but the
founding members of this body should be proud of themselves
for the time and efforts. May Allah bless the past and
current leaders of this organization and may Allah guide our
community on the right path.
We have witnessed tensions within this organization for
years but the leaders have found ways to keep the harmony
alive, but how long can they persevere? Prophet Mohammed (PBUH)
is quoted as saying "the man who is most hateful to
Allah is the one who quarrels and disputes most’’ I’m
pretty sure no one wants to be on Allah’s HATE LIST. Every
elected leader must work hard for the people that they
serve, whether you promised or not it’s your obligation. Our
fore fathers have strived to keep unity amongst themselves
for centuries regardless of their wealth’s (gold, cattle’s
little education etc) but now we have (dollars, PHD, Masters
etc) yet we can’t find common ground. It’s unfortunate that
our brothers and sisters who are educated enough can’t
handle things like the so-called EDUCATED ONES (no
disrespect) rather chose to challenge each other on things
that will not serve or help them in the hereafter. We must
support one another in times of HAPPINESS and ADVERSITY.
Remember the Prophet (PBUH) said “the strong man is not
the good wrestler; the strong man is ONLY the one who
controls himself when he is angry”.
