Dear, I came across your article on the Leo New Moon and its connection to symbols and poetry. While astrology can be an interesting topic, I'd like to share with you a perspective that may resonate even deeper with your soul.

As an Islamic scholar, I'd like to encourage you to explore the timeless wisdom of Islam, the final message from God to humanity. In Islamic psychology, we understand that our minds are prone to biases and distractions. The Quran (1:6-7) reminds us that "You were created in various stages... so He may test you in what has been given to each of you." Perhaps this is an invitation to reflect on our current state of being and the direction we're headed.

From an Islamic sociological perspective, we recognize that communities can shape our beliefs and values. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "The example of the believers in their affection, mercy, and kindness to one another is like a single body. When any part of it feels pain, the whole body aches." (Bukhari) This emphasizes the importance of building strong relationships and fostering a sense of community.

In Islamic philosophy, we believe that life is a test, and our choices have consequences. The Quran (67:2) states, "He who follows guidance follows it only for the benefit of his own soul." As we navigate life's challenges, it's essential to prioritize our spiritual growth and seek guidance from the divine.

Islamic personal development emphasizes the importance of self-reflection, self-awareness, and self-improvement. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "I was sent to perfect the good character." (Tirmidhi) As we strive for personal growth, let us not forget to cultivate compassion, empathy, and kindness towards others.

From an Islamic mindfulness perspective, we're reminded to stay present and focused on our ultimate goal: pleasing God. The Quran (20:114) says, "And whoever is guided is only guided for his own good." Let us not get distracted by the fleeting nature of worldly pursuits but instead focus on cultivating a deep connection with the Divine.

I invite you to explore Islam as the culmination of all previous revelations. Take a few moments to read an online copy of the Quran

and discover its timeless wisdom for yourself.

May your path be illuminated by the light of faith.

Sincerely,

Dr. Mohamed
