Imam Tahir to Speak at RIS 2009
When a ship is lost at sea, is in imminent danger of sinking, or if it has been hijacked, the captain sends out an SOS. This acronym is Morse code for, “Save Our Ship.”
When an SOS is received by any agency, all available resources are mobilized to save the threatened ship; the Coast Guard, Navy, Air Force, and any civilian vessels in the vicinity. Our planet is currently sending out an SOS. The waves of pollution and environmental degradation are washing over its bow. The gathering storms of warfare and strife are threatening its course. It has been hijacked by the pirates of racism and xenophobia. Massive icebergs of disease, hunger, and economic marginalization litter the sea all around it.
As an Ummah, it is time for us to mobilize all of our resources to help save the ship of humanity, before it sinks, or is forever lost at sea.

Hold fast to the Rope of Allah, all together, and be not divided. (Qur’an, 3:103)
Surely, those who have made divisions in their religion and turned into factions, you
have nothing to do with them. Their case rests with Allah; then He will inform them of
what they used to do. (Qur’an, 6:159)
In light of the Divine Word, we recognize that the historical nature of Sunni Islam is a
broad one that proceeds from a shared respect for the Qur’an and Sunnah, a shared
dependence on the interpretations and derivations of the Companions (may Allah be
pleased with them), and a shared respect for the writings of a vast array of scholars who
have been identified by their support for and affiliation with the Sunni Muslims and have
been accepted as the luminaries of Sunni Islam – as broadly defined.
