Now our so called
heroes believed the fact from Arabs and Koran that; none believers should be
killed or tortured till they submit to Islam. (TORTURING OR KILLING) aren’t
anything wrong with that if God and the religion is peaceful and why am i
reading such from other faiths? We despised Yahya for torturing, maiming and
killing our people yet if you read the Koran, it condones those acts.  Again, never befriend none believer until they
submit to Islam? Is that phrase uniting God’s creation? Why will God tell them
to torture or kill and again, is the same God who said thy shall not kill? If
that is the case why does God need to punish the disobedience after death?  These misconceptions are the reasons why when
we became adults we are always looking for someone to decide for us someone to
do things for us or waiting for who will start first because we were never
empowered to be right or to stand for ourselves, we learn those when we are
adult. This also can be a negative reaction on our adulthood in terms of
rebelling against the system that dis-empowered us. People let’s start using our
conscious mind not logical one. God Allah or whatever name you call Him, is
always here with us and fulfilling our collective needs. These needs will never
be materialized/realized without collective efforts and conscious realization
clear from egoistic expectations. Trust, faith, and patience are very
importance tool in this regard, whatever one trust “wholeheartedly” with
patient and faith will sure materialize. For example; if a doctor or marabou give
you a medicine for the cure of certain ailment, but you didn’t believe it will,
surely it will not period. As well if the doctor is not kind with the patient,
whatever he/she gives the patient will not help either. This is how human
psychic functions. Wherever/whatever unconditional love and wisdom is applied
the universe will always support. Nothing had however, happen in the Gambia out
of our consents. We Gambians consciously or unconsciously created them because God
will never give us anything we didn’t ask for. Faith, trust, and believe are
God’s own entity period. If you distrust anything or process you distrust God
because God is the creator of everything and every process and if you build
trust around them, God will surely saw you the way to completion. On the other
hand, whenever there comes a collective dislikes, God will surely intervene in
His own terms as it is now happening to Yahya without even knowing the reasons
and logic behind some of his acts.  

In this trying
time, I think what God is teaching us Gambians is to consciously look within
ourselves; (the place where God is/resides) as well as from our past in order
to know our present such as; what are the advantages/disadvantages from our
colonial masters to the second republic? All these were naturally and
systematically different entity but similar in their motivations (governing).
Now we will have to collective agree on the positive ones needed from each era
in order to stabilize the third republic.  Such as; (democracy and rule of law, citizen
empowerment, economical management infrastructural development just to name
but few). 
To be fearful is to
be controlled by so called Satan as well as rejecting and disobeying the divine
power. Besides, believing in two powers (the power of Satan and that of God) is
abomination to the divine reality. One who is afraid of spreading his/her
conscious opinions is a living soul without guidance. Furthermore, we shouldn’t
be blamed for misinterpretation of the messages which had not only confused
people, but done lots of destructions in this beautiful world and Her people.
It was said by Joel that, “All attempts to contact God through the mind or
intellect have failed and always will fail. God can be known only through the
Soul and the Soul-faculties and the soul and its faculties can only be incorporated
through KHALUA in seclusion or meditation and contemplation”. KHALUA is an
individual self development method that will take one closer to the divinity. Sadly
in our culture, we were not taught to meditate even thus our prophet received
the divine teachings from meditation. These fallacies religions cleverly
formulated in our minds are not helpful either. Man must be really conscious
because it is from consciousness that will benefit this world and hereafter. Besides,
why do we have to pay others to perform KHALUA on our behalves? They scared the
hell out of people by telling them if they try KHALUA without knowledge or
know-how, they can come out mad because various kinds of animals like snake or
frog can come growing larger and larger in your secluded space etcetera. In
reality, KHALUA or meditation can be performed anywhere even our prophet was
doing it in the mountains or any seclude area that suits you (in the forest,
the beach side, on the mountains just to be away from distractions to
contemplation.

Now let’s ask ourselves:-

Where will we start?
>The problem with
our smiling coast and Her people Vs our attitudes come from a place termed as
divinely tabooed to discuss deeply much more to remedy. So called religions
without teaching us the know-how to its faith (in honesty Gambians are very
religious but our faith to God as the creator of everything Good or bad is
missing). This, I may say was due to the wrong understanding in which it was
received and distributed with. Everybody wants to go to heaven but none wants
to die is where the faith and knowledge of it is lack. Besides, how can one
goes to heaven without dying? The religion came to us with fear mongering in
the heart and mind of the people just like the introduction of slavery from
both the Arabs and the white man. All these were introduced to our society in a
brutal manner, killing and maiming and forcefully taking people to subjugation
to Islam and slavery. Some will say that we shouldn’t look unto the Arabs for
Islam, but in what language are we praying? Who assembled the Koran Thus the
words were said to be come from God to Muhammad (PBH)? In our people’s mind,
The Koran was written, edited and bind by God Himself and the angels straight
to the hands of Muhammad. Now if we should not look unto the Arabs for the
religion, why are we blaming the English, the Germans, and the Portugal
etcetera for slavery? Why are we blaming the Nazism for discrimination? We can
all be blamed for double standard behaviors hence It is human’s nature to turn
blind eye on realities which are not in their favor just like how the American
are turning blind eyes to the atrocity of Israel towards Palestinians. Besides
Arabs self interest behaviors are well known. Have you ever seen an Arab is worried
about so many wars in Islamic Africa countries? But whenever Arabs are killing
each other African Muslims will involve in the favor Arabs but fail to realized that it is all God’s punishment. Why can’t the Arabs join together to
help Palestinians why did they left Somalia to be destroyed?

>We can call on or
blamed slavery for the destruction it brought to us but not religions. How many
people did Foday Kabba, Mansa Musa etcetera killed maimed for the forceful introduction
of Islam in our society? Upon all their ungodly and wicked manners, they became
heroes and gradually these forceful subjugation became rooted in our society.
For example; No matter how right the child is, his/her parents words must stand
thereby, dis-empowering the child and make him/her vulnerable resulting to the
total dependency on his/her parents mercy. Yes parents should train their
children to become a better adult but with both physical and mental empowerment
coupled with love will help because every child came with a message from God
but only if the parents will sometimes listen instead they will like to force
the child to subdue to their will. In a certain stage of their life, children
start asking lots of questions and parents will sometime stop them on their
tracks instead of answering the questions. Some parents will tell the child “you
talk too much or shut up”. These kinds of behaviors will never empower the
child towards been a productive adult. However, children due to their curiosity, can sometimes ask
difficult questions that their parents are not ready or have no knowledge about, but does not mean you have to shut them up thinking you are
training him/her to become a better adult whiles what you are doing is dis-empowering.
