According to my dictionary, “philia” is a feeling of care, compassion, respect and acknowledgement. We should fill the whole universe with “philia”, instead of falling into the opposite direction - phobia. Philia doesn’t just belong to religions; in my view each and every one of us has a role to play in the universe and help other creatures living with us on the planet.
A question has been raised regarding the differences between the quality and efficiency of aid delivered by Muslim organisations and Non-Muslim ones. My response to the question is:
- Aid isn’t exclusive to one race or one nation. Humanity should celebrate the diversity of excellence that meets the needs of the needy.
- If people who believe in different faiths based their community participation on their belief in God who asks them to spread only goodness and stop evil, nations would become stronger and humanity would thrive as a whole.
I believe there is a place for every organisation at the world humanitarian table.
