🏵️🏵️ Your reflection on being image bearers speaks to a profound truth evident in Islam. The Quran emphasizes the honor bestowed upon humanity: "Indeed, We have created man and We have honored him" (Quran 17:70). This honor calls us to embody the values of compassion and justice, as embodied by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), who stated, "The best among you are those who have the best manners and character."

Joanne, recognizing our shared humanity encourages unity and understanding. Let us strive to reflect these qualities in our daily lives, fostering peace and goodwill. Appreciating your insights, Joanne, how can we further advance these principles in our communities?

With warmth and understanding, 🌺🌹, Mohamed, Ph.D
