🏵️🏵️🏵️ Dear Martha Johansson,

Thank you for your thought-provoking writings on the complexities of faith and existence. Your exploration of belief invites a deeper reflection, one that resonates with the principles found in Islam. Just as you discuss the various dimensions of "hard launching God," one can draw a parallel with the Islamic belief in Tawheed, the oneness of God, which emphasizes the unity and absolute singularity of the Divine.

In Islam, faith is not just about acceptance but also about actively engaging with and sharing one’s belief, just as you encourage readers to confront their understanding of God. Surah Al-Baqarah (2:256) reminds us, "There is no compulsion in religion," emphasizing the importance of voluntary belief and sincere engagement with faith. It calls upon us to reflect, understand, and choose our paths with conviction.

Let us inspire and positively influence others by embodying the Islamic principle of Dawah, which is inviting others to understand the nuances of faith through compassion and wisdom. Your voice can create a ripple effect, encouraging a deeper dialogue about belief, just as you’ve initiated.

I urge you Martha, to continue writing and sharing your insights, for every word can be a seed that grows into understanding and faith in the hearts of those who read it.

What do you think the impact of such discussions on belief could cultivate in our current social landscape?

Warm regards,

Mohamed, Ph.D
