When Knowledge Meets Wisdom

November 2025 • by Walk of Tranquility

Knowledge is the light of the mind, but wisdom is the light of the heart. One measures, analyzes, and observes; the other listens, understands, and forgives. When these two meet, a deeper form of truth emerges — one that not only explains life but also honors it.

We live in an age overflowing with knowledge. Information travels faster than thought, and yet, many souls still feel empty. Knowledge without wisdom is like a lantern without a flame — it can be held, but it cannot guide. True understanding begins when intellect kneels before humility, when knowing becomes a form of listening to the sacred rhythm of life.

“It is not the knowing that enlightens, but the doing of what we know.” — Carl Jung

In every tradition, wisdom is described not as the accumulation of facts but as a way of being. The wise do not rush to prove; they seek to understand. They do not speak to win arguments but to open hearts. They recognize that every question hides another question — and that truth, like light, is reflected best when it passes through gentleness.

Faith and science, often seen as opposites, are in truth two mirrors reflecting the same light. One looks outward into the vastness of creation; the other inward into the vastness of the soul. Both ask the same sacred question: *What does it mean to be alive?* When knowledge meets wisdom, the answer becomes a living experience — peace.

To seek wisdom is to learn how to see. To know is to understand what *is*; to be wise is to understand *why it is*. And in that quiet space between knowing and being, the soul breathes — finding its balance, its rhythm, its tranquility.

Time, Patience, and the Rhythm of the Soul

November 2025 • by Walk of Tranquility

Time is the canvas on which the soul paints its story. Yet, in the modern world, we often rush through moments as if they were obstacles to be conquered rather than gifts to be embraced. We chase hours, we fight waiting — and in doing so, we forget that patience is not passivity, but participation in the rhythm of life.

Every faith tradition speaks of patience as a form of wisdom. In Islam, *Sabr* — patience — is described as light; in Christianity, patience is one of the greatest virtues of love. Time and patience together teach us that not everything blooms at once. Even the sun waits for dawn, and the heart must ripen before it can understand peace.

“Indeed, Allah is with the patient.” — Qur’an 2:153

Science, too, acknowledges the wisdom of waiting. The human brain thrives in cycles — work and rest, focus and reflection. When we pause, when we breathe, the nervous system resets and clarity returns. What faith calls trust, science calls recovery. In both, patience restores balance and deepens understanding.

There is a sacred rhythm in everything. The seasons do not hurry. The ocean waves move at their own pace. Growth is never instant — it is a process of quiet persistence. The soul follows the same law. When we align ourselves with that rhythm, we no longer resist time; we learn from it. We begin to see that what is meant for us does not pass us by — it simply arrives when we are ready.

To live with patience is to live with faith — to trust that unseen forces are working even in silence. In a culture obsessed with speed, patience is an act of quiet rebellion and deep belief. The rhythm of the soul moves slowly, but it never stops. And in that steady pace, life unfolds with grace.

The Silence Between Thoughts

November 2025 • by Walk of Tranquility

Between every thought lies a quiet space — a pause that the modern world rarely notices. In that brief silence, before the next idea rises, something timeless exists. It is not empty, but full of awareness. It is the point where consciousness simply *is*, unburdened by judgment or noise.

Philosophers and mystics have long spoken of this state. Some call it mindfulness, others call it prayer. In neuroscience, it is the moment when the brain’s default mode network rests — when self-talk fades, and pure observation takes over. Faith calls it remembrance; science calls it clarity. Both point toward the same mystery.

“Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10

In silence, we remember what words cannot teach. Every thought, emotion, and sensation arises from the same still space — and then returns to it. When we learn to rest there, we begin to see that we are not the thoughts themselves, but the awareness behind them. This shift is where peace begins, not as a concept, but as an experience.

Our daily life is often filled with inner dialogue — the mind replaying what was said, what might happen, what others think. But when we notice the silence between thoughts, the chatter softens. The world slows down. What remains is a presence that feels sacred, as if eternity itself breathes through us.

Silence is not absence — it is awareness without effort. To dwell in it is to rediscover the soul’s home. It doesn’t require retreat or escape, only attention. In the stillness between thoughts, we touch the divine thread that unites faith and being. And when we return from it, life feels lighter, simpler, and infinitely more alive.

The Beauty of Simplicity in Modern Life

November 2025 • by Walk of Tranquility

We live in a time where speed is celebrated, and silence feels like a luxury. Every day we are surrounded by choices, noise, and endless digital distractions that promise happiness but rarely deliver peace. In this whirlwind, simplicity is not just an aesthetic choice — it is a moral and spiritual return to what truly matters.

Faith has always taught that clarity of heart comes from detachment, not abundance. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “Richness is not having many possessions, but richness is being content with oneself.” This ancient wisdom echoes what modern psychologists now confirm: contentment is not the result of having more, but of needing less.

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” — Leonardo da Vinci

Science and spirituality agree that when we remove excess — whether it is physical clutter, mental noise, or emotional attachment — the brain finds balance. Minimalism is not emptiness; it is space for what is real. A simple home, a slower routine, and fewer distractions help the mind breathe and the soul speak.

In nature, everything essential is quiet. A tree does not rush to grow. The ocean never competes with the sky. There is harmony in restraint and beauty in stillness. When we begin to live simply, we rediscover joy in small things: the taste of morning tea, a short walk, or the sound of wind through leaves.

Simplicity is not the absence of progress; it is the art of choosing what truly matters. It is a way of living that honors faith, respects time, and values peace over perfection. In the quiet rhythm of simplicity, we find not loss, but liberation — a freedom that only the uncluttered heart can understand.

Faith and the Science of Inner Peace

November 2025 • by Walk of Tranquility

In a world dominated by noise, pressure, and uncertainty, both science and faith have turned their eyes toward one common goal: peace within. Although they speak different languages, both disciplines describe the same journey — the search for stillness at the center of human experience.

Modern neuroscience has shown that consistent meditation, prayer, and reflection reshape the brain’s structure. The prefrontal cortex — responsible for calm and decision-making — becomes more active, while regions tied to stress shrink in intensity. Science, in its empirical way, confirms what faith traditions have taught for centuries: that silence is medicine, and devotion is alignment.

“Indeed, in the remembrance of God do hearts find rest.” — Qur’an 13:28

Faith speaks not in formulas, but in presence. It invites us to trust — to let go of the need to control every outcome and instead surrender to divine rhythm. Science, when humble, studies this same surrender and calls it neuroplasticity, resilience, or mental flow. Both are true. Both point to a peace that begins when the mind bows before something greater than itself.

To live in faith is not to escape reality but to see it differently. When prayer is sincere and science is honest, they meet in the same silence — the space where the heartbeat slows, the breath deepens, and we remember that peace is not found but awakened.

The harmony between faith and science is not a paradox; it is a conversation between the seen and the unseen. Where faith provides meaning, science offers understanding. Together, they form a path where inner peace is both measurable and miraculous.

The Soul’s Silence in the Modern World

“In the noise of the world, silence becomes a form of resistance.”

We live in an age where every moment hums with movement — screens glow, messages arrive, and even thoughts race faster than our hearts can follow. The world celebrates noise: the constant chatter of opinions, the endless scroll of updates, the rush to be seen and heard. Yet, beneath this surface of motion, the soul quietly longs for stillness.

The Disappearing Art of Silence

Silence is not the absence of sound; it is the presence of awareness. In ancient times, silence was considered sacred — a space where truth could be heard without words. Today, silence feels foreign. We fill every gap with sound because silence confronts us with ourselves. It is in those quiet spaces that we meet our fears, our hopes, and our deepest questions.

The modern human has learned to speak endlessly, but has forgotten how to listen — not only to others, but to the heart within. To listen deeply is to live consciously, to allow each breath to be a prayer.

The Inner Refuge

Faith traditions across the world remind us that silence is the language of the divine. In Islam, meditation in solitude — *tafakkur* — is an act of worship. In Christianity, silence is the gateway to prayer. In Buddhism, silence is the path to awakening. All point to the same truth: to hear the sacred, we must first become quiet.

Finding Stillness Again

We do not need to escape the world to rediscover silence. It begins in small moments — turning off the phone, walking without music, sitting with the sound of wind through trees. These moments remind us that peace is not far; it is within us, waiting to be remembered.

The soul’s silence is not emptiness; it is fullness. It holds understanding, patience, and grace. In that stillness, we remember who we are — not as consumers or profiles, but as beings created for meaning, compassion, and connection.

Science and Faith: Two Mirrors of Truth

“Science explains the how of the universe; faith gives meaning to the why.”

In the long history of human thought, science and faith have often been seen as opposites — one belonging to reason, the other to belief. Yet when we look deeper, these two are not enemies, but reflections of the same human longing: the search for truth and meaning.

The Quest for Understanding

Science observes, measures, and tests. It gives us tools to understand the universe — from the rhythm of the planets to the structure of the atom. Faith, on the other hand, listens to the silence behind the data. It asks what lies beyond what we can measure. Both paths begin with wonder, and both require humility before the unknown.

Great thinkers throughout history — from Al-Ghazali to Einstein — have spoken about this harmony. Einstein once said, “Science without religion is lame; religion without science is blind.” In this harmony, reason and belief do not compete; they complete one another.

Ethics and Purpose

Science provides power; faith gives direction. Without an ethical compass, knowledge can become dangerous. The question is not only what we can do, but what we should do. Faith reminds us of responsibility, compassion, and the sacredness of life. Science offers us the precision to apply those values in real ways — curing disease, protecting the planet, and improving life for others.

The Balance of Knowing and Believing

To live fully, a human being needs both eyes open — one looking outward through observation, the other inward through reflection. Science tells us how the stars were born; faith tells us why their light still touches us. The harmony between them is not in agreement on every detail, but in the shared journey toward understanding.

When we embrace both — curiosity and reverence, analysis and awe — the world becomes whole. In the mirror of science, we see the structure of creation. In the mirror of faith, we see its soul.

The Quiet Power of Reading

How books calm the mind, reshape habits, and lead us back to inner space. / Si librat qetësojnë mendjen, ndryshojnë zakonet dhe na kthejnë te hapësirat e brendshme.

EN: A Gentle Practice for a Busy Mind

In a world that prizes speed and constant output, reading is a quiet rebellion. It asks us to slow down, to linger with sentences, and to allow thought to unfold without notification bells or urgent demands. Far from passive, the practice of reading—when done with attention—becomes an exercise of the mind that calms neural noise and creates a space where reflection can occur.

Neuroscience has shown that focused attention strengthens particular networks in the brain. When we read, especially reflective literature or contemplative essays, our attention circuits are exercised: the mind learns to hold an idea, to trace a metaphor, to sit with an image. Over time those skills become habits. A reader who practices this patience builds a mental muscle for sustained attention that carries into daily life: conversations become deeper, distractions lose urgency, and choices are made with slightly more clarity.

Books also act as mirrors and windows. Some pages hold reflections of our own ache or longing; others open windows onto strange worlds that reframe our problems. The emotional regulation that reading fosters is subtle but powerful: identification with a character, the rhythm of a well-placed paragraph, or the slow reveal of a truth can soothe anxious loops and provide perspective. In this way, literature becomes a form of mental hygiene—small, daily acts that keep the inner environment hospitable.

There is a spiritual dimension too. Many traditions encourage practices of stillness and listening; reading can be an accessible companion to those practices. A paragraph that lands in the heart can function like a short prayer or a bell: it calls attention back to the present. Reading with intent—choosing texts that invite contemplation rather than only distraction—transforms pages into invitations to presence.

Practically, this is simple to start. Choose one short essay or a few pages each day. Sit in a consistent place, breathe, and read without rushing. After reading, pause for a moment—close the book, breathe again, notice one new thought or feeling. Over weeks, these micro-practices accumulate; the quiet power of reading is not dramatic but cumulative, a slow reshaping of how one meets the day.

In the hush between paragraphs, something steadies: the mind remembers how to wait, to listen, to attend. For those who long for a calmer inner life, books offer a patient, private path—one page at a time.

Quote: “Reading is an act of attention; attention is an act of love.”

Besimi dhe Arsyeja — Dy Rrugë drejt të Njëjtës së Vërtetë

Besimi dhe Arsyeja — Dy Rrugë drejt të Njëjtës së Vërtetë

Besimi dhe arsyeja shpesh janë parë si dy forca të kundërta në kërkimin e njeriut për kuptim. Por në thelb, të dyja udhëtojnë drejt të njëjtës e vërtetë — asaj që tejkalon kufijtë e perceptimit tonë. Besimi na jep guximin të pranojmë atë që nuk mund të provohet plotësisht, ndërsa arsyeja na mëson si të kuptojmë atë që mund të dihet. Bashkë, ato krijojnë ekuilibrin që ushqen mendjen dhe shpirtin.

Arsyeja pa besim mund të bëhet e ftohtë dhe e mekanizuar, duke reduktuar pasurinë e ekzistencës në diçka që matet dhe testohet. Besimi pa arsyen, nga ana tjetër, mund të rrëshqasë në fanatizëm ose në një devotshmëri të verbër. Vetëm kur bashkohen, njeriu gjen harmoninë — urën mes të dukshmes dhe të padukshmes.

Nëpër shekuj, mendimtarë si Thomas Aquinas dhe Al-Ghazali janë përpjekur t’i pajtojnë këto dy rrugë. Ata e kuptuan se e vërteta nuk ndahet; ajo thjesht ka mënyra të ndryshme për t’u zbuluar. Shkenca eksploron si funksionon realiteti, ndërsa besimi pyet pse ai ekziston. Të dyja janë pasqyra të së njëjtës mister hyjnor që i jep kuptim jetës sonë.

Në një botë të mbushur me zhurmë, dyshim dhe informacion të pafund, bashkimi i besimit dhe arsyes na fton të ngadalësojmë — të mendojmë thellë dhe të besojmë me urtësi. Na kujton se vetëm njohuria nuk e mbush zemrën njerëzore, dhe vetëm besimi nuk mjafton për të na udhëhequr drejt mençurisë. E vërteta qëndron aty ku takohen të dyja, në atë hapësirë të qetë të reflektimit dhe besimit.

Faith and Reason — Two Paths to the Same Truth

Faith and Reason — Two Paths to the Same Truth

Faith and reason have long been seen as two opposing forces in human understanding. Yet when we look closely, we realize that both seek the same destination: the truth that transcends our limited perception of the world. Faith offers us the courage to believe in what cannot be fully proven, while reason gives us the tools to understand what can be known. Together, they form a balance that nurtures the mind and the soul.

Reason without faith can become cold and mechanical, reducing the richness of existence to what can be measured and tested. Faith without reason, however, risks drifting into superstition or blind devotion. It is only in their union that humanity finds harmony — the bridge between the visible and the invisible.

Through the ages, great thinkers like Thomas Aquinas and Al-Ghazali have sought to reconcile these two paths. They recognized that truth is not divided; it simply has multiple ways of being discovered. Science explores the how of reality, while faith contemplates the why. Both are reflections of the same divine mystery that gives meaning to our lives.

In a world filled with noise, doubt, and endless information, the marriage of faith and reason invites us to slow down — to think deeply and believe wisely. It reminds us that knowledge alone cannot fill the human heart, and belief alone cannot guide us toward wisdom. The truth resides where both meet, in that quiet space of reflection and trust.

The Acceptance of Islam in Europe: An Evolving Reality

The Acceptance of Islam in Europe: An Evolving Reality

Europe is undergoing a visible religious transformation. According to projections, the percentage of the Muslim population in Europe (including Russia) could reach up to 11.2% by 2050, compared to about 4.9% in 2016. This growth is particularly visible in countries like France, Belgium, and the United Kingdom.

This trend is not just the result of immigration. New generations of Muslims, born and raised in Europe, are integrating their religious identity into the European cultural landscape. They are building institutions, participating in civic life, and contributing to the continent's social diversity.

The acceptance of Islam as part of Europe's religious tapestry is a complex process. However, it underscores a fundamental truth: the human need for faith and spiritual peace knows no geographical or cultural boundaries. The search for meaning and peace in God is a universal desire that continues to evolve and express itself in new forms throughout the world.

The Growth of Islam in the World: A Statistical Analysis

The Growth of Islam in the World: A Statistical Analysis

Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the world according to the Pew Research Center study. It is projected that from 2015 to 2060, the Muslim population will grow by 70%, compared to 32% of the overall world population.

The main reasons for this growth are two: demographic structure and conversions. Muslim communities have, on average, higher birth rates compared to other religious communities. In addition, while the number of births is the main factor, a considerable number of people convert to Islam each year, making it the religion with the highest positive conversion balance.

This data shows not only a demographic change but also a growing global search for a simple and direct religious structure, its emphasis on social justice, and a clear connection with God, which many find soothing in modern times of uncertainty.

The Growth of Islam in the World: A Statistical and Spiritual Reflection

“Faith grows not only in numbers, but in hearts that seek meaning beyond the noise of the world.”

Islam stands today as the fastest-growing religion in the world. According to studies by the Pew Research Center, between 2015 and 2060, the Muslim population is projected to increase by nearly 70%, compared to an overall global population growth of 32%. This projection reflects not just demographics, but a deeper spiritual movement across continents.

Demographics and Birth Rates

The first factor in this growth is the demographic structure of Muslim-majority countries. Many of these nations have younger populations and higher fertility rates compared to other parts of the world. However, the pattern is not merely numerical — it also highlights a sense of continuity and family-centered life that defines many Islamic societies. Children grow in communities that value tradition, respect, and belief in the Creator.

Conversions and Search for Meaning

Another notable factor is conversion. While global birth rates drive much of the change, thousands of individuals every year embrace Islam by personal choice. They describe the faith as simple yet profound, offering a clear connection with God and a structure that brings inner peace amidst modern uncertainty. Islam’s message of equality and social justice resonates strongly in an age where many people search for meaning beyond materialism.

Faith and the Modern World

The rise of Islam cannot be seen only as a sociological trend. It represents a growing human yearning for spiritual grounding. In a world driven by technology and distraction, faith re-emerges as an anchor — a reminder that inner peace is not found in endless pursuit, but in surrender and understanding.

It is in this context that Islam continues to expand — not as a force of numbers, but as a source of tranquility, discipline, and hope. Whether in cities or remote lands, the quiet recitation of prayer, the act of giving, and the call to compassion unite millions under one truth: peace through faith.

The Three Abrahamic Faiths: A Shared Testimony of the Search for God

The Three Abrahamic Faiths: A Shared Testimony of the Search for God

Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, known as the 'Abrahamic faiths,' share a common heritage and a similar foundation in the search for one, single God. Despite theological differences and various practices, the essence of their search is the same: connection with the Creator and living a life guided by moral principles.

All three believe in one, powerful, and merciful God. All three respect major prophets like Abraham (Ibrahim) and Moses (Musa). And all three see life on Earth as a spiritual journey, a preparatory test for another world. This common perception of life gives meaning to daily sufferings and pleasures.

By understanding these parallels, we can look beyond divisions and appreciate the depth of the human need for faith and divine guidance, which has remained unchanged for thousands of years.

The Role of Faith in God in Mental Health

The Role of Faith in God in Mental Health

For millions of people throughout history, faith in a higher power has been the primary source of spiritual strength and mental calm. Numerous psychological studies show that strong religious belief is positively linked to lower levels of anxiety and depression.

Why does this happen? Faith provides a meaningful framework for dealing with life's grief and uncertainties. The feeling that you are part of a larger plan and that you are not alone in your struggle creates a deep sense of hope and comfort. Prayer and religious meditation act as powerful stress-relief mechanisms.

This does not mean that non-religious people cannot find peace, but it emphasizes that the structure, community, and sense of purpose that religion offers provides a historically proven path to mental health and inner peace.

Tre Fetë Abrahamike: Një Dëshmi e Përbashkët për Kërkimin e Zotit

 

Tre Fetë Abrahamike: Një Dëshmi e Përbashkët për Kërkimin e Zotit

Judaizmi, Krishterimi dhe Islami, të njohura si 'fetë Abrahamike', ndajnë një trashëgimi të përbashkët dhe një themel të ngjashëm në kërkimin e një Zoti të vetëm dhe të vetëm. Pavarësisht dallimeve teologjike dhe praktikave të ndryshme, thelbi i kërkimit të tyre është i njëjtë: lidhja me Krijuesin dhe jetimi i një jete të udhëhequr nga parimet morale.

Të trija besojnë në një Zot të vetëm, të fuqishëm dhe mëshirues. Të trija respektojnë profetët kryesorë si Abrahamin (Ibrahimi) dhe Moisiun (Musa). Dhe të trija e shikojnë jetën në Tokë si një udhëtim shpirtëror, një provë përgatitore për një botë tjetër. Kjo perceptim i përbashkët i jetës i jep kuptim vuajtjave dhe kënaqësive të përditshme.

Duke kuptuar këto paralele, ne mund të shohim përtej ndarjeve dhe të vlerësojmë thellësinë e nevojës njerëzore për besim dhe udhëzim hyjnor, që ka mbetur e pandryshuar për mijëra vjet.

Rritja e Islamit në Botë: Një Analizë Statistikore

Islami është feja me rritjen më të shpejtë në botë sipas Studimit të Qendrës Pew për Kërkime. Parashikohet se nga viti 2015 deri në 2060, popullsia myslimane do të rritet me 70%, krahasuar me 32% të popullsisë së përgjithshme botërore.

Arsyet kryesore për këtë rritje janë dy: struktura demografike dhe konvertimet. Komunitetet myslimane kanë, mesatarisht, normat më të larta lindjesh në krahasim me komunitetet e fesë të tjera. Përveç kësaj, ndërsa numri i lindjeve është faktori kryesor, një numër i konsiderueshëm njerëzish konvertohen në Islam çdo vit, duke e bërë atë feja me bilancin më të lartë pozitiv të konvertimeve.

Këto të dhëna nuk tregojnë vetëm një ndryshim demografik, por edhe një kërkim global në rritje për një strukturë fetare të thjeshtë dhe të drejtpërdrejtë, theksimin të saj në drejtësi sociale dhe një lidhje të qartë me Zotin, që shumë e gjejnë të qetësueshme në kohët moderne të pasigurisë.

The Quest for Inner Peace: A Universal Human Need

The Quest for Inner Peace: A Universal Human Need

In a fast-paced and chaotic world, the search for inner peace is a universal feeling that unites us all, regardless of culture or belief. This desire for spiritual calm is the essence of coping with life's challenges.

Scientists have proven that practices promoting inner peace, such as meditation and prayer, have direct positive effects on our mental and physical health. They reduce stress, improve concentration, and help build emotional resilience.

Whether this peace is found through organized religion, personal philosophies, or simply through a deep connection with nature, the journey is the same: the search for a center of calm and understanding within oneself. This is the first step towards a more fulfilled and conscious life.

Kërkimi i Paqes së Brendshme: Një Nevoje Universale Njerëzore

Kërkimi i Paqes së Brendshme: Një Nevojë Universale Njerëzore

Në një botë të shpejtë dhe kaotike, kërkimi për paqe të brendshme është një ndjenjë universale që na bashkon të gjithë, pavarësisht nga kultura apo besimi. Ky dëshirë për qetësi shpirtërore është thelbi i përballjes me sfidat e jetës.

Shkencëtarët kanë vërtetuar se praktikat që promovojnë paqen e brendshme, si meditimi dhe lutja, kanë efekte të drejtpërdrejta pozitive në shëndetin tonë mendor dhe fizik. Ato ulin stresin, përmirësojnë përqendrimin dhe ndihmojnë në ndërtimin e qëndrueshmërisë emocionale.

Pavarësisht nëse kjo paqe gjendet përmes feje të organizuar, përmes filosofive personale, ose thjesht përmes një lidhjeje të thellë me natyrën, udhëtimi është i njëjtë: kërkimi për një qendër të qetësisë dhe kuptimit në vetvete. Ky është hapi i parë drejt një jete më të plotë dhe të vetëdijshme.

Pranimi i Islamit në Evropë: Një Realitet në Evolvim

Pranimi i Islamit në Evropë: Një Realitet në Evolvim

Evropa po përjeton një transformim të dukshëm fetar. Sipas projeksioneve, përqindja e popullsisë myslimane në Evropë (përfshirë Rusi) mund të arrijë deri në 11.2% deri në vitin 2050, krahasuar me rreth 4.9% në 2016. Kjo rritje është e dukshme veçanërisht në vende si Francë, Belgjikë dhe Britani të Madhe.

Ky trend nuk është thjesht rezultat i imigracionit. Gjenerata të reja myslimanësh, të lindur dhe të rritur në Evropë, janë duke integruar identitetin e tyre fetar në peizazhin kulturor evropian. Ata ndërtojnë institucione, marrin pjesë në jetën civile dhe kontribuojnë në shumëllojshmërinë shoqërore të kontinentit.

Pranimi i Islamit si pjesë e tapiserisë fetare të Evropës është një proces kompleks. Megjithatë, ai nënvizon një të vërtetë themelore: nevoja njerëzore për besim dhe paqe shpirtërore nuk njeh kufij gjeografikë apo kultural. Kërkimi për kuptim dhe qetësi në Zot është një dëshirë universale që vazhdon të evoluojë dhe të shprehet në forma të reja në të gjithë botën.
