🏵️🏵️The concept of aversion can be deeply explored through the lens of Islam, which teaches us about the importance of compassion, empathy, and understanding. The Quran states, "And we have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds" (Quran 21:107). This teaches us that our interactions should be rooted in mercy rather than aversion. Furthermore, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "The merciful are shown mercy by the Merciful" (Sunan Abu Dawood). Addressing our feelings of aversion can lead to personal growth and a closer relationship with others. Recognizing the humanity in everyone can transform our hearts and minds.
Thank you, for provoking thought on such a vital topic. Let's strive to embody the values of mercy and understanding in our lives.
How can we emphasize compassion in our daily interactions more effectively?
With warmth and understanding, 🌺🌹, Mohamed, Ph.D
