Will Humans Change After Coronavirus?

By: Mustafa Ceric   Source: Elijah Interfaith Institute Dec 30, 2020 No Comments


Dr. Mustafa Ceric is Grand Mufti emeritus of Bosnia. He is a noted advocate for interreligious relations.  Solitude was practiced by Hasan al Basri, the paramount devoted worshipper and is part of Ramadan celebration. Corona creates a similar effect.

It is a message that our houses of worship are becoming useless to us, when our devotion is insincere. Rumi had once said, "I came home and found God in my heart". This is today’s invitation. Dr. Ceric puts forth a grand vision for how humanity must reset its priorities and cultivate unity. Corona unites us by fear. Now we must grow to unity in love and respect. Our connection must be enhanced to a genuine spiritual connection.
