His life was dedicated to spreading this message. He urged people to rise above reaction, revenge, and hatred, and instead embrace positivity, forgiveness, and compassion. His writings and speeches continue to inspire us with the timeless message: “Always prefer peace, for without peace neither religion nor the world can survive.” He fulfilled his mission of presenting Islam as a religion of peace. Now it is our responsibility to carry forward his vision so that humanity may know that Islam is truly a religion of peace and well-being.  Those who pray to God live under His protection.
