🏵️🏵️🏵️ Dear Lu Skerdoo,

Thank you for your insightful writings and the way you illuminate the concept of being "chosen with purpose." Your exploration of this profound topic resonates deeply, especially when drawing parallels to Islamic teachings. In Islam, we are reminded that every individual has been created with a unique purpose, as highlighted in the Quran: "And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me" (Quran 51:56). This verse emphasizes that we all have a divinely ordained role to fulfill, akin to your discussion of purpose.

From an Islamic perspective, I urge you and your readers to reflect on how embracing our individual purposes can lead to a collective betterment of humanity. The Quran also encourages us to engage with one another, promote goodness, and enjoin right action (Quran 3:104), which supports your call for a purposeful life.

Let us not only find our purpose but also actively seek to fulfill it in service to others. As we navigate our paths, Lu Skerdoo, may we remember that each step is an opportunity to embody the very virtues we aspire to uphold.

What further reflections do you have on the transformative power of fulfilling one's purpose within a community?

Warm regards,

Mohamed, Ph.D
