🏵️🏵️🏵️ Dear Denise, I would like to start by thanking you for your thought-provoking piece on the chair, and for your dedication to exploring the human experience through your writings. Your story resonated with me, and I couldn't help but draw parallels with the Islamic perspective on the concept of humility.

In Islam, we believe that humility is a key virtue that is essential for spiritual growth and closeness to God. The Quran emphasizes the importance of humility in numerous verses, such as "O you who have believed, let not some men among you look down upon others. Indeed, mankind was created upon the earth and is most humble" (49:13). Similarly, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us that "The strong believer is better than the weak believer, and there is good in everyone's good deeds" (Bukhari).

I would like to respectfully suggest that your piece on the chair could be expanded to explore the concept of humility in more depth. By examining how our chairs, our homes, and our daily lives reflect our inner selves, we can gain a deeper understanding of the importance of humility and how it can be cultivated.

May I humbly suggest that you consider exploring this topic further, as it has the potential to bring people closer to understanding the beauty of Islam and its emphasis on humility.

Quran 20:123-124 says, "And indeed, We have honored the children of Adam. We carried them on land and sea, and We have provided them with hearing and sight, and We have guided them to the best way. But they were not grateful."

Sincerely,

Mohamed, Ph.D 🏵️🏵️🏵️
