Noble Character Volume 5

Muslims in America are able to practice their faith and tradition with no oppression. We should not isolate ourselves, rather embrace the ideals of American culture especially freedom and justice, and actively engage with others to improve life for everyone. The relationship between Muslims and non-Muslims is guided by kindness, justice, understanding and appreciating our diversity and the right of everyone to his faith, and working together. We should be good and kind to our parents, especially when they get old and need our help. Helping our neighbors is an Islamic concept, those who live close to us and those who work with us. We enjoy numerous blessings from God, and need to express our thanks and gratitude in words, as well as by sharing God's blessings with those who are poor, needy and those who need and deserve our help.
