ALLAH HU AKBAR


On the afternoon of September 9, 2009, an elderly man left his home in New Jersey and wandered.
He wandered for nearly nine hours in a high crime section of Paterson, New Jersey fasting for Ramadan. But, he did not understand that he did not know where he was. Alzheimers disease did.

Two Black youths observed the man in muslim garb and took him to a nearby store. EMS was called and responded quickly. Shortly afterwards, his son, Bahir Mustafa arrived from New York City. Mustafa is an NYPD detective and the director of membership for Muslim Law enforcement officers. He was grateful that his father was found. And despite carrying a large sum of money, his pockets were left intact. Fate had intervened. Believers would say it was the hand of Allah.

Thus, on the eve of 9-11 when some would curse Islam, we must remember that God has many names and many faces. Our salvation is to find the commonality in all religions. The thread that binds us together of respect and love. That is what saved this elderly man.

Salaam, Shalom, Peace.

  2. It was the quick thinking of the two paramedics who responded to the scene that noticed there was something not quite right with what they were seeing. After assessing the patient and noticing that he was dressed inappropriately they asked him what time it was. They told him to not look at his watch. They asked to have Paterson PD call and see if there was a report of missing persons in Clifton. Indeed there was. All ended well and the family was greatful. It ended well due to the trained Paramedics of St Josephs Medical Center. All they had to say was"Glad we could help"
