When we know that each one of us has been gifted with a gift from a Mighty Creator and none of us are in this room without something special to offer. None of us are alive on this planet without a gift that marks and separates us from the next person, but not separates us in the sense that we are divided, but separates us in that each of us is unique. As Muslims, we say, “Say He, Allah, is One.” He’s One, unique, incomparable, and so are you. There are no two snowflakes alike, no two raindrops alike, no two blades of grass alike. Your fingerprints, footprints and voiceprints are all different from your Brother’s and Sister’s. Each one of us has never been before and will never be again. That’s the infinite wisdom of a Mighty Creator. So, when I look at you and you look at me, we are looking at individuals that there’s no one like, never was before, and won’t be again. This is our moment in time to unite our uniqueness and pass on to a succeeding generation the legacy of what we, in our uniqueness and our recognition of each other’s greatness, have accomplished in the long march toward total liberation. – The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan
