🏵️🏵️🏵️ Thank you, Jimmy Henks, for your thought-provoking writings. Your exploration of the themes surrounding the concept of king and authority resonates deeply across various faiths. In Islam, we similarly reflect on the sovereignty of God (Allah) and the idea of ultimate authority. Just as you argue for a return to recognizing Christ's divine role rather than earthly kingship, Islam emphasizes that Allah is the true sovereign, transcending any worldly ruler.

From an Islamic perspective, it is essential to uphold the belief that all authority belongs to Allah alone. The Quran eloquently underscores this in Surah Al-Baqarah (2:255): "Allah! There is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence." This verse serves as a reminder that, much like your calls for recognizing Christ's kingship, Muslims are called to acknowledge Allah's ultimate dominion over all creation.

In today’s world, where authority can often lead to oppression and division, your reflections offer a inspiring call for unity and recognition of divine guidance. I encourage you to continue advocating for a return to spiritual teachings that emphasize our shared values of justice, compassion, and service in society.

Ultimately, whether through the lens of Christianity or Islam, we seek to foster a sense of community grounded in divine principles rather than fleeting human power. Together, let’s inspire others to recognize the true Source of authority and the importance of unity across our diverse beliefs.

How can we further advocate for a world built on these divine principles, effectively bridging our faiths for the betterment of humanity?
