🏵️🏵️🏵️ Thank you, Doris, for your insightful writings and the depth of your thoughts on spiritual revival. Your reflections remind me of the emphasis in Islam on community and the collective responsibility of believers to stand firm in faith and righteousness.
In Islam, the concept of "Ummah"—the global community of Muslims—encourages us to support and uplift one another in pursuing goodness and piety. Just as you write about the importance of unity and prayer among your people, we, too, are reminded in the Quran that Allah commands the believers to hold firmly together. As stated in Surah Al-Imran [3:103], “And hold fast, all of you together, to the Rope of Allah and do not become divided…”
This call to action is vital not only for personal spiritual growth but for the collective strength of our community. We must come together in prayer, support, and service, emphasizing the importance of solidarity in times of trial. In Surah Al-Ma'idah [5:2], we are reminded, “And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression.” It is through these acts of unity and goodness that we can become a powerful force for change in our societies.
I encourage you, to continue your journey of awakening your community to this vital cause. Engage with them in dialogue and action—empower them to take steps towards collective betterment. The need for spiritual revival is urgent, and like the scholars of old, we must inspire those around us.
What steps do you envision Doris, for igniting this movement in our communities?
With gratitude,
Mohamed, Ph.D.
