I am a 30 year old husband and a father of four beautiful children. I have been married now for nine years. I have been a follower of el Sheikh Syed Mubarak Ali Shah Gilani since I can remember. I was raised along with my eight brothers and sisters to be responsible, honest and hardworking human beings. To treat your neighbors the way you want to be treated. to want others to have all the benefits that you want for yourself. To always practice high moral standards in order to earn Allahs' favor and protect the community. To practice the religion of Islam with heart and soul, to honor those messengers that were sent to mankind as and example and a warning to live a righteous life. These noble messengers include Abraham, Moses, Noah, David, Issac, Isiah, the blessed Jesus son of Mary and ending with his final and most beloved Nabi Muhammad Mustafa (may Allah continue to bless them all).

The teaching and direction from Sheikh Gilani have saved me from becoming a victim of this western society where money, material possessions and satisfying your base desires are all that is important. A society where families no longer stick together and communities are at odds. There has never been more separation in this country then there is today. We are encouraged to join with our Christian brothers and sisters to help protect their beliefs as well. Muslims and Christians have more in-common than most Americans know. Together we can save our country and restore it to a place where all are equal and respected regardless of their income, race, religion or appearance.

These are not the teaching of a terrorist or someone who wants to destroy America. Where would the benefit be in destroying or even attacking America? Where would that leave our own families and communities? Please do not believe these lies. The media is trying to justify an attack on Muslims and our way of live. Islam is the fastest growing religion in America even today. Many people are seeing the lies they have been told from the beginning for what they are and recognizing Islam as the truth. The teachings of our Sheikh have benefited my wife and I and these same teaching we will instill in our children and by the will of Allah they will benefit from them more than we did.
