🏵️🏵️🏵️ Dear Muhammad Ali,

Thank you for sharing your inspiring journey and thoughts on writing. Your reflections on the power of storytelling resonate deeply, mirroring the significant emphasis Islam places on the written word. Just as you found inspiration in your experiences, the Quran encourages us to seek knowledge and share our stories. In Surah Al-‘Alaq (96:1-5), we are reminded of the importance of reading and writing: "Recite in the name of your Lord who created. Created man from a clinging substance. Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous—Who taught by the pen—Taught man that which he knew not."

I urge you, Muhammad, to continue harnessing your passion for writing, using it as a tool for growth, understanding, and connection—just as the teachings of Islam inspire us to do. As you pen your narratives, let them be a source of enlightenment and a means to uplift others. There’s strength in words, and through your craft, you hold the potential to touch countless lives.

As you explore your writing, remember the verse: “And it is He who has made the earth subdued to you, so walk among its slopes and eat of the sustenance He has provided. And to Him is the resurrection.” (Surah Al-Mulk, 67:15). This encourages us to navigate our journeys thoughtfully, sharing our insights and stories with others.

Keep sharing your voice, and remember that every word you write can inspire and pull someone closer to the light.

Warm regards,

Mohamed, Ph.D.
