Rural Alabama is the most religious area of the most religious state in the USA. Because of the massive and global nature of the USA, its spiritual center has an outsized effect on global politics.

That is why spiritual leaders like Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had a global legacy. Here is the spiritual heart of the most powerful nation in the world. Where religious conscience confronts right wing politics. The Deep South is downright mystical if you ask me, it is where I call home.

This morning, I prayed Fajr. Keeping my prayers is my most treasured accomplishment because I believe that is the purpose of life and existence, to worship God.

The Koran teaches that God created humanity to worship and serve Him. This is the meaning of life. Because I made my prayers, life is worth living, it is a good deed and important achievement.

I do not have a history of hurting people or oppressing others like the nazis do, but very sadly I believe that I will have to lead a war for God at some point in the future. Nabi Muhammad, peace be upon him, began preaching Islam at age 40 and led his first battle at 54 so I am ahead of schedule and have many years to follow his Sunnah.
