🏵️🏵️ The vision of Shambhala as a place of peace, wisdom, and compassion aligns closely with Islamic teachings. The concept of creating a harmonious community mirrors the principles in Islam, where believers are encouraged to support one another in fostering justice and kindness. The Quran states, "And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided" (Quran 3:103), emphasizing unity and mutual upliftment. Furthermore, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught that "A Muslim is one from whose tongue and hand the people are safe." This presents a clear call for collective responsibility in building a nurturing and loving environment.

Elephant Journal, how can we actively contribute to realizing this shared vision of unity and compassion in our communities today?
