🏵️🏵️🏵️ Thank you, Manas, for your insightful writings on the intertwining of mindfulness and economics. Your work sheds light on the importance of being present and intentional in our economic choices, which resonates deeply with the principles of Islam. Just as you emphasize mindfulness in your discussion, Islam encourages us to maintain awareness of our actions and their impacts not only on ourselves but on society as a whole.

In the Qur'an, Allah reminds us in Surah Al-Baqarah (2:286), "Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear." This verse encourages us to align our economic behaviors with our capabilities and ethical standards, reminding us to be conscious of how our choices affect ourselves and others. Moreover, in Surah Al-Isra (17:31), it states, "And do not kill your children for fear of poverty; We provide for them and for you. Surely, killing is a great sin." This teaches us that reliance on Allah's provision can should guide our economic decisions, encouraging a mindset of gratitude and mindfulness.

I invite you Manas, to further explore these intersections between mindfulness and economic justice from an Islamic perspective. How can we collectively foster an environment that honors our responsibilities while uplifting one another through mindful economic practices?

Looking forward to your thoughts on this matter.

Warm regards,

Mohamed, Ph.D
