“We must believe with all of our heart and with all of our soul that love is mightier than hate; that mercy is stronger than vengeance; and that peace is more powerful than war. We can believe this proven truth embodied in the noble words of the Qur’an: “Good and evil are not equal. Repulse evil with good. Unexpectedly, you will find one between whom you and he there was great enmity become as it were, an intimate friend.” (41:34)”
— Imam Zaid Shakir”
