You will not enter Paradise until you have faith and you will not have faith until you love one another. Do you want me to tell you something you can do to make you love one another? Make it a habit to greet one another with “Asalamu Alaykum” - peace upon you”.
I’m tired of living a world that says people only come together when faced with catastrophe

Peace be upon you, because you persevered in patience! Excellent indeed is the final home!
— Quran 13:24
There’s so much hatred in the world… Muslims should not be adding to it.
“God does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes – from dealing kindly and justly with them. Indeed, God loves those who act justly. God only forbids you from those who fight you because of religion and expel you from your homes and aid in your expulsion – (forbids) that you make allies of them. And whoever makes allies of them, then it is those who are the wrongdoers.”
- Al-Mumtahina (60:8-9)
Once you are able to look at another being and see no difference at all, there is no need for harmony. For here there is only Oneness. This is the place the story began. And this is the end toward which all consciousness strives to return… for in truth, there is only One of us here.
— Buddha
