#Gambians Have Followed ” (Brother Amadou Sowe, New York)

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
ALLAH Subhanahu Wa Ta’Aala Is:
“The Originator of the heavens and
the earth. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it : ‘Be!’ — and it is”
[al-Baqarah 2:117]
‘Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, “Be!” — and it is!’
[Ya-Seen 36:82].”
“When He has decreed something, He says to it only: ‘Be!’ — and it is”
[Aal ‘Imraan 3:47]
“It is He Who gives life and causes death. And when He decides upon a thing He says to it only: ‘Be’ — and it is”
[Ghaafir 40:68]
“And Our Commandment is but one as the twinkling of an eye”
[al-Qamar 54:50]
ALLAH, SWT, May HE Be Exalted, Has Limitless Power, Absolute Power, Ultimate Control Of All Affairs And Perfect Will! If HE wills something, it happens as HE wills it at the time when HE wills it, and in the manner that HE wills!
Dhū-l-Jalāli wa-l-Ikrām! (Lord of Majesty and Generosity, Lord of Glory and Honour!) Though blessings; success, power, wealth, victory may come to us through human hands, we should be conscious of and give praise and honour to the True Source from which all blessings come, The ONE who is the Lord, Possessor and Bestower of Majesty and Bounty.
History has been made and still unfolding in The Gambia, Our Homeland. This beautification of our collective
narrative in the realization of our shared aspiration to remove Jammeh from power and Restore Democracy in our Beloved Country has made a mark in contemporary African history specifically and the world at large.
That moment in space and time when we legitimately stood up, found our voices and raised them in unison ,
demanding an end to Dictatorship of the first order! Ours like many before us became a struggle to overcome fear, to fight for human freedom and dignity; a cause for social justice, a cause of the people.
Jammeh’s defeat at the Dec. polls and his consequent ceding power .
