'Every soul will taste death. And We test you with evil and with good as a trial; and to Us you will be returned.'

(Qur’an – Surah Al-Anbiyaa, 21:35)

A reminder: This life is a test—both in hardship and in ease. Remain patient in trials, and grateful in blessings. Our journey always leads us back to Allah. May we return to Him in a state of faith, peace, and righteousness.

Personal Reflection:
1. This ayah teaches balance and awareness:
2. Don’t be arrogant in good times or hopeless in bad times.
3. Recognize both as tests from your Creator.
4. Constantly prepare for the meeting with Allah by purifying your heart, intentions, and deeds.

We often overlook a profound truth — that people themselves can be tests in our lives.
Not every test comes in the form of hardship, loss, or pain. Sometimes, it is the people around us — their actions, their words, their behavior — that challenge our patience, character, and faith. Some may test us through their kindness, while others may test us through their ignorance, arrogance, or even hostility.

Allah reminds us in the Qur'an:
“And We have made some of you [people] as a trial for others — will you have patience? And your Lord is Ever Seeing.”
(Surah Al-Furqan 25:20)

This divine wisdom teaches us that every encounter — whether with a friend, a stranger, or even an enemy — is part of our spiritual journey. Each person in our life is a potential test: a test of patience, forgiveness, gratitude, humility, or perseverance.

So the question remains, as posed by Allah Himself:
"Will you have patience?"

In recognizing people as tests, we are reminded to respond with grace, patience, and reliance upon Allah — for He sees and knows all, and He alone rewards the steadfast.

Young people hold a powerful and transformative role in preventing violence and fostering sustainable peace. Their deep-rooted presence in communities, combined with their firsthand understanding of the challenges and aspirations of their peers, makes them uniquely positioned to support the disengagement of youth from violent groups. By offering peer support, mentorship, and inclusive spaces for dialogue and healing, young people actively contribute to the reintegration process, helping their peers rebuild trust, find purpose, and reconnect with society. Empowering youth to lead in peacebuilding efforts is not only strategic—it is essential for lasting peace.

: Empowering Young People for Sustainable Peace

Young people play a crucial role in preventing conflicts, fostering social cohesion, and countering violent extremism, making them essential drivers of sustainable peacebuilding. While youth are often disproportionately affected by armed conflicts and political instability, they also possess the energy, innovation, and resilience needed to create lasting change.

To harness their potential, it is vital to actively engage young people in decision-making, conflict resolution, and peace processes at local, national, and international levels. Youth-led initiatives, inclusive governance, and access to education and economic opportunities can significantly contribute to a more peaceful and just society.

By investing in youth leadership, strengthening community engagement, and promoting dialogue across diverse groups, we can empower young people to be catalysts of positive transformation in their communities and beyond.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) never treated anyone with insolence. He did not swear at anyone, nor was he rude, nor did he curse anyone. He would not stretch his feet while sitting with people out of respect. He used to sit with the poor, the needy, and even the slaves out of humbleness. We need to bring back those impeccable manners in our everyday life.

Islam teaches us to be on our best behavior at all times. It teaches us to be kind, merciful, just, and helpful. In many places around the world, people were so strongly influenced by the manners of the Muslim traders that they accepted Islam. This is how we should live our lives too.

Yesterday, in his New Year State Address, President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni announced the ban on police bonds for certain criminal offenses. The President firmly stated, "𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘣𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘴. 𝘈𝘯𝘺 𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘢 𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘣𝘰𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘢 𝘷𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘦𝘧 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘥 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦."

This strong stance by the President serves as a warning to those engaging in theft and other criminal activities. It underscores the government's commitment to ensuring justice and curbing lawlessness at all levels.

In light of this directive, I wish to address the Muslim community in Arua Muslim District, particularly the youth. I strongly caution our young Muslim boys to desist from engaging in theft or any unlawful acts. Such behavior not only tarnishes their reputation but also brings disrepute to their families and the wider Muslim community.

Parents and guardians are urged to take an active role in guiding and mentoring their children. It is our collective responsibility to instill in them values of honesty, integrity, and respect for others' property. Let us all work together to build a morally upright and law-abiding community.
