The sense of the Goose

To prepare for Winter, during Fall Season when the geese head South

You see them flying in a “V” formation, there is Science in it no doubt

Each bird flapping it’s wing creates an uplift for the bird in the immediate back

Flying in this formation uses less energy and almost doubles the range of the entire pack

Similarly, people who are part of a team and share a common direction

Get there quicker and easier by trusting each other’s effort and dedication

When the lead goose gets tired he rotates back into the “V” formation

Another goose takes over, it pays to share leadership and hard jobs in rotation

The geese honk from behind to encourage the leader and to keep the speed

Words of support and inspiration help energize the leader diminishing his fatigue

When a goose gets sick or wounded by a gunshot and falls out

Two geese fall out of formation and follow the injured to protect and help out

They stay with him until he is able to fly or is dead

Then they launch out in another formation to join the group ahead

If we have the sense of the goose we will stand by each other when things get rough

It is a reward, a challenge, and a privilege to be a team member, only talking is not enough

We mumineen are fortunate to have the sense of Goose  and follow our leader, The Dai

Munafeqeen are green with jealousy without a leader, all they do is criticize and sigh

Doat akrameen have been our untiring leaders for over 900 years

In guarding Shariat they are unwavering, courageous and without fears

Our leader now is Maola Burhanuddin, leading us in formation towards jannat

We say Labbaik ya Dai-Allah, may he live happy and healthy ta qiyamat
