As-Salaamu Alaikum
Al Hajj Malik el-Shabazz is one of the world’s most prophetic leaders, revolutionaries, and freedom fighters. His life and teachings shaped ibrahim’s worldview more than any other, save the Quran and Hadith. Brother Malcolm likely did the same for many of you, too.
Now 8 months since ibrahim’s sudden and unexpected passing, things continue to feel unreal. But today, the heartache included missing the guidance and wisdom of Malcolm X. I hope at least ibrahim, and the rest of us, get to meet him in the afterlife.
What would Malcolm have said and done in 2024? If I had to guess, it would be vehement support of the Palestinian resistance, maybe a reinvigoration of the tri-continental conference, and hopefully a captivating speech or two at the Shabazz Center in Harlem.
Please read ibrahim’s post from 5/19/2023, what would have been Malcolm’s 98th birthday and what was ibrahim’s last month of May with us. How did Malcolm X impact you? Share in the comments, would love to know.
As-Salaamu Alaikum
