Return of the Jedi

























Return of the Jedi

This was an astonishing return to the ancient city of Cairo. The land that felt the beautiful presence of luminaries such as the blessed prophets, Moses and Joseph. There is no prophet mentioned more in the Koran than Moses and no story more beautiful than that of Joseph's. To be able to have been here with my mother and step-father was fascinating and utterly astonishing. Being in Egypt wasn't a part of their itinerary but it was a part of God's itinerary. To see the beaming smiles on their faces and the light in their hearts was almost more than anything one could ask for. It was their dream to come to Egypt and ride camels, see the sphinx and come face-to-face with the pyramids. But it is my dream that they be blessed to come to the House of God in Mecca and perform the pilgrimage with me, insha Allah (God willing). To follow in the illustrious footsteps of all the noble prophets from Adam to Noah to Abraham to Moses to David to Jesus and to Muhammad who answered the noble call to the House of God and said, "Here I am O God! Here I am!" These are Jedi visions.
