Interreligious or interfaith work is dear to me. I have learned over the years that engaging with each other, regardless of what we do or do not believe, is a necessity for a constructive and peaceful 21st century. Global issues require global cooperation among diverse groups. Whether you are Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, Agnostic, or Atheist, interreligious dialogue is an opportunity for us to knock down these unnecessary walls between us. Let us build authentic relationships based on education, understanding, commitment, and engagement. We have more in common than we think. It is time to act on our commonalities. Change starts with us. Picture taken at an interreligious event at the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd in Kingwood, Texas by @mv_xoxo.

Actions speak louder than words.

Exemplary leadership.

Humanity first.

One. Big. Family.

One word makes all the difference.

“Kindred spirits” also comes to mind.

This is what we call LEADERSHIP.

Remember this if you are going through adversity.

“I don’t get it. You tweet so much about Prophet Muhammad yet you don’t convert.” I hear something like that often. As I have said many times I simply admire him for his strong principles and vision of a just society. Our world could benefit from his teachings.

I am a firm believer in cross-cultural interactions and interreligious bridge building. Being “out there” with people and communities is just as important (if not more important) as all the books, articles, and social media content that you may see on this page. Experiencing our common humanity is very dear to me. It is good for the soul, as I was reminded this weekend. Picture 1: Talking to my brother Mujahid Fletcher at the @islaminspanish podcast booth at the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) convention in Houston, TX. Picture 2: Mujahid and the IslamInSpanish community do incredible work. I have great admiration and love for them, which is obvious in the image. Picture 3: Chilling and chatting with Mahin Islam, one of the best podcasters in the USA. We chatted about a range of philosophical issues. We went deep into it. Picture 4: My first podcast of the convention was with Syed Rizvi and Sean from the @themuslimvibe, one of my favorite websites. Picture 5: Hanging out with my new friend Hakan Yesilova of @tughrabooks. We discussed our future book project that is set to be published in time for Ramadan. Turkish hospitality is second to none.

One. Human. Family.

These words changed the world. They stand the test of time.

What makes an American Catholic an admirer of Prophet Muhammad and the Qur’an? Muhammad went from being an orphan, to a revolutionary, to a prophet. I explain my views on these issues and more in a lively interview with @SallyMousa of @pulse95radio in the UAE. The full interview can be found at the Dr. Craig Considine channel on YouTube.

Admiration & Reconciliation.

Remember these words.

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace; Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; And where there is sadness, joy. - Saint Francis ☮️❤️🙏🏻✨
