Comments on Successor
Masjid Muhammad-Newark NJ

By Imam W. Deen Mohammed
Speaker 1 (00:01):
Insha Allah, I would like you to send some people to properly look at some of the things that she's done here. Sister Ummil Khair from this community here. The second thing? Yes sir.
IWDM:
She's still principal. Okay. I know her.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
The second thing I wanted to ask you about, the second thing I wanted to ask you about was, we know that in the history of the Prophet, Saala Alayhi Wa Salaam, that there is evidence that the Prophet Saala Alayhi Wa Salaam, he appointed Abu Bakr as his successor. And we know that Imam Mohammed does not promise to live forever. But I wanted you to elaborate a little bit on where you see the community going and possibly a successor for yourself.
IWDM:
I don't see any single person as a successor, but I see a number of brothers that I think Allah will give support to and they'll be very good leaders if something should happen to me. I wouldn't want to name any particular brother, but I do know that we do have brothers if I should die, they will give the community good leadership and Allah will be with them and you all will know that Allah is with them and you will give those persons, any one of those persons your support.
Audience:
Takbir. Allahu Akbar. Takbir. Allahu Akbar.
I pray Allah nothing ever happen to you.

IWDM:
Thank you. Thank you. I'm not worried about that at all. I keep my mind on living, not on dying.
Audience:
That's right! Allahu Akbar.
IWDM:
I know that's what you all want. Alright, now we going to have the Iqama. Imam would you please have someone make the Iqama. And then we will make Isha prayer, and I won't stay after Isha prayer. I want to go because I'm a distance away from here and I want to do some things before the time. Thank you very much.
