“My dear brothers and sisters of Islam, I would firstly like to thank the organizers, the organizers for the Belmarsh Iftaar, may Allah the Exalted reward them abundantly for taking the time and making the effort in organizing this event to show our love and unity with our brothers in Belmarsh and around the world. Secondly, I want to focus on legacies. I want to focus on legacies, and what is a better time than the month of Ramadhan than to focus on legacies. AIlah the Glorified and Exalted tells us the wisdom behind the legislation of fasting. This Taqwah, this Taqwah. Selflessness piety. The Imam Ali Ibn Abi-Talib, may Allah be well pleased with him, the Fourth Caliph of the Muslims defined Taqwah and mentioned and said that Taqwah as being: Taqwa is to fear Allah, The Majestic, to act according to His revelation, to be pleased with little sustenance and to get prepared for the Day you of Departure.

And, Allah the Glorified and the Exalted tells us: ''The Believers are but a single Brotherhood". The Muslims or the Muslim is a brother of another Muslim. And Allah the Glorified and the Exalted ''The Believers are but a single Brotherhood", that the believers are nothing other than brothers. And the messenger of Allah peace be upon him tells us in the Hadith of AI-Bukhari and of Muslim: A Muslim is a brother of (another) Muslim. The Muslim is the brother of another Muslim.
