🏵️🏵️ Emilly, your exploration of silence and its implications deeply resonates with the teachings of Islam. The Quran emphasizes the importance of speaking truth and justice: "And speak to people good [words]" (Quran 2:83). Silence in the face of injustice can be harmful, as our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught, "The best jihad is the word of justice before an oppressive ruler" (Abu Dawood). It’s crucial to acknowledge our feelings and communicate them, as doing so aligns with our responsibility towards ourselves and others in our community.

Emilly, your reflections encourage individuals to confront their emotions and foster open communication.

How can we inspire more people to break their silence and speak out against their struggles?
