Mr. Ali Awkal, a Real Estate Agent in West Springfield, Massachusetts, has recently introduced himself to Hampshire County on behalf of Dr. Hazratji and the Islamic Society of Western Massachusetts. According to a Republican article,
“He has scouted parcels around the region for months.”
“We have a mosque in Worcester and a mosque in West Springfield, and we want something in between ….”
Scouting around for parcels
When Mr. Awkal says We he is referring to the Ummah, which has many international, national, regional, and local chapters and members.
“We .. as a whole world have a very bad image of Submission to Allah” ?
Poor Mr. Awkal is at a loss for words. In his language there is just no word for “we as a whole world.” “We “always means “Ummah, Believers, Muslims,” as opposed to “Kafir, Infidels, un-Believers, non-Muslims.”
So he stumbles and tries to clarifies himself by letting us know that in this case he is referring to the whole ‘brotherhood of mankind’ – both Believers and non-Believers. According to Mr. Awkal, even Kafirs have “a very bad image of Submission to Allah.”

I don’t think you have a job to do , always writing negative things about me , about Dr Hazratji, about our community, we moslem respect every body all religions, and people like you disrupt the piece between religions, learn this and this is in every religion (accept to others what you accept to your self) if you believe in that you are a good person and will not hurt any body.
This is the last thing I will write to you, if you continue your silly ways of prescribing others you are wrong and it is a waste of time to talk to you.
