🏵️🏵️🏵️ Dear Marilyn, I was moved by your article on "Healing Tears: Holy Tears God Holds Them All" and the depth of emotion it conveyed. As a Muslim, I couldn't help but reflect on the message of Islam and its unique perspective on the nature of God and our purpose in life.

In Islam, we believe that God is all-knowing, all-merciful, and all-powerful. He is the One who created us and guides us towards a life of righteousness. The Quran, the holy book of Islam, is a guidance for all humanity, and it speaks to our deepest desires and needs.

As Allah says in the Quran, "And We have indeed created man (Adam) from an extract of clay, and the jinn before from the smokeless flame of fire." (Quran 15:28-29). This verse highlights God's creative power and His ability to create us from nothing.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) also said, "The whole of humanity is asleep, except for those who are engaged in the remembrance of Allah." (Bukhari) This hadith emphasizes the importance of remembering God in our daily lives and seeking His guidance.

I invite you to explore Islam as the culmination of all previous revelations. It is a religion that brings people together, regardless of their background or beliefs. In Islam, we believe that all prophets, including Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and others, were sent by God to guide humanity towards a path of righteousness.

To gain a deeper understanding of Islam and its teachings, I recommend reading an online copy of the Quran. You can access it here:

As you read the Quran, you will discover a different perspective on life, one that emphasizes mercy, compassion, and forgiveness. You will learn about God's nature and His plan for humanity.

In conclusion, I invite you to join me on this journey of discovery and exploration. Let us seek guidance together from the holy book of Islam and discover the true meaning of life.

May you find peace and guidance on your spiritual journey.
