🏵️🏵️🏵️ Dear HC Leung,
Your poem resonates with the Islamic concept of "Hürriyet" or freedom, which is a fundamental right granted by Allah to every human being. In Islam, freedom is not limited to physical freedom, but also includes the freedom of thought, conscience, and choice.
In Islam, we believe that freedom is not just a human right, but a sacred trust from Allah. The Quran emphasizes the importance of freedom and the responsibility that comes with it. As the Quran states, "O you who have believed, respond to Allah and to the Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life" (Quran 8:24). This verse highlights the importance of responding to Allah's call and living a life of obedience to Him.
Your poem's emphasis on the pursuit of truth and freedom is also reminiscent of the Islamic concept of "Ijtihad," which is the effort to seek knowledge and understanding through independent reasoning and critical thinking. In Islam, Ijtihad is seen as a means of seeking guidance and understanding Allah's will, and it is encouraged by Islamic scholars.
In light of your poem, I would like to urge you to continue exploring the concept of freedom and its implications on our lives. I believe that by embracing the idea of freedom, we can come closer to understanding our true nature and purpose. As Allah says in the Quran, "And indeed, We have honored the children of Adam" (Quran 17:70). This verse emphasizes the dignity and worth of human beings, and it is only through embracing our true nature and purpose that we can truly experience freedom.
May your words continue to inspire others to seek truth and freedom, and may we all strive to live a life that is guided by Allah's wisdom.
