The ink of the scholar is more valuable than the blood of the martyr.―The Prophet Muhammed (Peace be upon him)
JACKSONVILLE, FL, ― FAMACO Publishers, LLC and Qalam Books Division are honored to announce the 2011 Words Make People Literary Excellence and Scholarship Award. Founded regionally in 2006, the scholarship is named in honor of American Muslim leader, humanitarian, and religious scholar, the late Honorable Imam Dr. W. Deen Mohammed. Imam Mohammed inherited the struggle for dignity and economic justice through the African American saga and Islamic influence woven into the history of American Blacks both before and after slavery. He led millions to true Islam, dispelling false notions of race and religion to make his Community a world leader for the proper understanding and practice of Al-Islam.
Part of the Imam's legacy was his ability to inspire through the power of the written and spoken word; he stressed the important role words, whether in Scripture, higher education, or common communication, play in shaping critical thought and subsequent social, cultural, intellectual and moral expression. Many of his followers recall his proclamations, "Man means mind," "Words make people," and "Remake the world." The Imam was not simply looking to inspire adherents, he was seeking to inspire his Community to become students of religion and critical free thinkers firmly established upon the foundation of the Holy Qur'an, the Seerah (history, pronouncements and approved actions) of Prophet Muhammed (Peace be upon him), and the best of all revealed knowledge G-d has blessed mankind to receive.
Imam Mohammed's mission and work, emphasizing religious scholarship, education, economic development, and the promotion of universal human excellence live on and continue to transpose a legacy of leadership onto the world stage. FAMACO Publisher's Vice President, Hajji Mukhtar Muhammad states, "The 2011 national scholarship represents a natural progression. We can think of no better way to advance the Imam's work and leadership than through the promotion of education and especially through a scholarship based on an ability to write well.(continued on attached pdf)
