\u201cAnd of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the diversity of your languages and your colors.

You are but a page in the vast collection of books of Islam\nOnly then you would understand and accept others as we spoke before\nAnd then we start giving excuses to one another whenever we don\u2019t agree upon matters","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
