"Help one another toward piety and reverence; do not help one another toward sin and enmity."
Quran 5:2
Here is a very brief passage at the beginning of a lengthy surah, the 5th one, al-Ma'idah, here rendered as "The Table Spread," from which I've already drawn so many examples. This particular one is short and sweet, but I love its message of community and what we owe each other. As I grow older I increasingly think that solving the world's problems starts exactly on this level. It's almost like Muhammad Yunus (and in this case I guess it makes perfect sense that he's a Muslim from Bangladesh) and the micro-loans, in this case spiritual ones.
