A Call for Unity



                      Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it
                      is not proud. (1 Corinthians, 13: 4)


                                 Wishing Others Well


                      Greetings or wishing well are ways to express one's best
                 wishes for someone else when they meet. Believers do this
                 without fail, even when they are busy or have urgent busi-
                 ness elsewhere, when they enter each other's houses or meet
                 somewhere. In the Qur'an, Allah commands believers to re-
                               ply in a similar manner, or with even nicer

                                  wishes, when they are greeted and to say
                                    suitable words of greeting when they en-
                                     ter another person's house:
                                     When you are greeted with a greeting,
                                     return the greeting or improve on it.
                                    Allah takes account of everything. (Surat
                                 An-Nisa: 86)
