Do unto others_ is a good rule of thumb. I live by that. Forgiveness is probably the greatest virtue there is. But that__ exactly what it is - a virtue. Not just a Christian virtue. No one owns being good. I__ good. I just don__ believe I__l be rewarded for it in heaven. My reward is here and now. It__ knowing that I try to do the right thing. That I lived a good life. And that__ where spirituality really lost its way. When it became a stick to beat people with. __o this or you__l burn in hell._ You won__ burn in hell. But be nice anyway.

I am still not good enough. I am still not whole enough. I am still not pure enough. I am still weakness and sharp edges and broken, but He is good and pure and whole, all that I strive for but am not. I wake up every morning and I sit in silence and I choose to believe. I may speak. I may not. I let Him wrap up all my broken in to His grace. He takes me imperfect. This is the great mystery I never knew.

Mended: Thoughts on Life, Love, and Leaps of Faith

"

You__e been tested._ He advised me to try and __orgive and pardon, and this way seek to become beloved by God_ without my forgiveness being tied to the one who wronged me. __his is the Divine remedy,_ he emphasised, __emind your ego when it resists. Don__ you love for God to forgive you on the day, too?_ Reflecting on what the Shaykh said, his advice undid a knot in my heart and I resolved to work on my forgiveness purely for the sake of God. The Shaykh also recommended: __e careful about what you pray for in the future._ He promised to pray for me personally, asking God to send me a Muslim husband who would value and cherish me for who I am. Insha_ Allah!

From MTV to Mecca: How Islam Inspired My Life

"

Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Jesus always seems to be pairing God's forgiveness of us with our forgiveness of others. But why? Growing up, I thought it was a way of guilting us into forgiving others, like Jesus was saying, Hey, I died for you and you can't even be nice to your little brother? As though God can get us to do the right thing if God can just make us feel bad about how much we owe God. But that is not the God I see in Jesus Christ. That is a manipulative mother.

Pastrix: The Cranky, Beautiful Faith of a Sinner & Saint

"

I call for all religions, cultures, countries, crews, parties and peacemakers to unite for the sake of building a peaceful, united global village for future generations. It starts TODAY. If we stay divided, we will only remain crippled - and we will fall. It is time for everyone to see there is more for us to GAIN through unity and love than hatred and division. Get wise and unite. This is the only way. We need to start fresh with a truly united perspective.
