Drev, I wanted to express my gratitude for inviting me to check out your amazing works.

I couldn't help but resonate with the article "Nonetheless, We Exist for Love". The notion that our existence is not solely defined by our mortality, but by the love we share with others, resonates deeply with the Islamic perspective. In fact, the Quranic verse "And We have only created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another" (Quran 49:13) highlights the importance of human connection and love.

From an Islamic perspective, our existence is not just about our individual experiences, but about our relationships with others and with Allah. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "You were not created for yourself alone, but for others" (Bukhari). This Hadith emphasizes the importance of empathy, compassion, and selflessness in our relationships.

In Islamic psychology, the concept of "Tawbah" (repentance) allows us to reflect on our actions and make amends when we stray from the path of love and compassion. Similarly, Islamic sociology emphasizes the importance of building strong community bonds and working together to create a more just and equitable society.

Islamic philosophy also highlights this concept, which suggests that everything in the universe is interconnected and that love is the fundamental force that binds us all together. This idea is reflected in the Quranic verse "And We have created you from a single soul, and made from it its mate" (Quran 49:13).

As Muslims, we believe that our purpose in life is to worship Allah and to love Him with all our hearts, souls, and minds. The Quranic verse "And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me" (Quran 51:56) emphasizes this purpose.

I invite you, Drev, to explore Islam as the final message from God to humanity. It is a culmination of all previous revelations given to prophets such as Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and others. You can read an online copy of the Quran to gain a deeper understanding of God's nature and purpose.

As you reflect on your existence, I ask you: Have you ever stopped and asked yourself what if, on the Day of Judgment, you realized that you were too lost by life's distractions and personal biases against Islam and Muslims? What if you didn't take the time to read or embrace Islam as the final message from God to humanity?
