Islam:  The world is a beautiful place, well designed, exquisitely decorated and furnished, with ample accommodation and facilities for peoples of every race, nationality and religious persuasion. It was so designed so we can all coexist in peace, love and harmony, especially if we heed the lessons, teachings and principles sent to us by the Majestic Creator, Almighty God, through the ages. Let us, therefore, take care of it, enjoy it and live in love, peace and harmony with our brothers and sisters in humanity.
