Here are some thoughts from Islam 🏵️🏵️👇

Our relationships with God (Allah) and others are interconnected, and when one is neglected, it can lead to a sense of loneliness and disconnection. As the Quran says, "And whosoever turns away from My remembrance, verily for him is a life narrowed down, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Judgment" (Quran 20:124). By seeking a deeper connection with Allah, we can also strengthen our relationships with those around us.

Our obsession with technology and social media can lead to a false sense of connection, causing us to neglect our true relationships. Allah warns us against this in the Quran, saying, "O ye who believe! Avoid suspicion as much (as possible): for suspicion in some cases is a sin: and spy not on each other, nor speak ill of each other" (Quran 49:12). By consciously seeking authentic and genuine relationships, we can become more connected to ourselves and those around us.

Our connections with others can teach us about ourselves and our purpose in life. As the Quran states, "And We have not sent you (O Muhammad) except as a mercy to the worlds" (Quran 21:107). By practicing kindness, seeking knowledge, and striving to benefit others, we can fulfill our purpose and contribute to the betterment of society as a whole.

In the end, all prophets of God (Allah), including Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, all taught the importance of kindness, justice, and compassion in our dealings with others. As the Quran says, "Those who spend (in Allah's cause) in prosperity and in adversity, who repress anger, and who pardon men; verily, Allah loves the good" (Quran 3:134). By following the teachings of these prophets, we can create a more peaceful and harmonious world that is guided by the principles of love and understanding.
