Islam is…

Islam is yours. It’s your own personal thing. It has the property that only true religion possesses.

It unites us in what we share together. In true religion we share the reality of God. That is what unites us—not our worship. Our deeds are insufficient for that, and these days we choose so many reasons to separate ourselves based on who does what, how, and who told you so.

Our thoughts about ourselves and what’s right or wrong cannot unite us. It’s God that unites us.

True religion is where each of us seeks a right relationship with God, and through that reality finds a right relationship with one another.
