Muhammad Speaks

Imam W. Deen Muhammad

NEW YORK CITY—The following question was asked by a youth at the AMMCOP Youth Seminar in N.Y.C. in September, 1984

QUESTION: What do you suggest for Muslim brothers to wear as head-wraps?
WDM: The pages of Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet first, and then something like this (pointing to his own head-wraps).

QUESTION: What do you see as the overall significance of this conference?

WDM: The significance is that your Imam is witnessing the presence of many youngsters who are Muslims, and from what I can see, are very healthy-minded Muslims. You appear to be very healthy-minded, very in­telligent, and serious, and that's something that's hard to find. It's hard to find serious adults now, and most of you look like you've got more on your mind than foolishness. That's veryimportant.
So I feel very good about it. That's the significance, your Imam can meet you and know that we have youngsters coming up who will be able to replace us in the future. Insha-Allah.
