🏵️🏵️ Gary, your journey of questioning and rebuilding faith resonates deeply, as Islam embraces inquiry and personal growth. The Quran invites us to reflect: "Do they not reflect upon the Quran, or are there locks upon their hearts?" (Quran 47:24). In Islam, faith is not about fitting pieces together but developing a sincere connection with Allah through understanding and dedication. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasized the importance of knowledge, stating, "Seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim." Your exploration can lead to a more profound understanding of spirituality.

Gary, it's crucial to seek a path that feels genuine and fulfilling.

How might you integrate new insights into your spiritual journey?

Best, Mohamed, Ph.D
