Love is the Solution!

Imam Mehdi Khorasani

Iman Mehdi Khorasani was invited by Zaghi to respond to the message of Love is the Solution because he is a prominent Moslem leader and has a strong family background.

Dear Mr. Zaghi:

I am writing in response to the remarkably moving letter I received from Melvin Suhd, leader of the Association for the Integration of the Whole Person. The letter speaks of your important mission and activities in the interest of moving toward peace in the world by living and teaching the principles of Love Is The Solution. In today's world, there are endless problems. We suffer from disease, poverty, and injustice. Ignorance and misunderstanding lead us into war and violence of every kind. The only force which can meet these needs and lead us into peace is the power of love.

The name of "Islaam" means peace. Throughout the Q'uran, in countless verses, there are instructions to stand in the power of love, to think in love, and to act in love. In Islaam, truth is composed of love. In the Q'uran, Surah II Verse 177 tells us that all worship and service must be for love, and Surah 76 Verse 8 states that whatever you do must be for love. We are taught that loving others is loving God, that serving others is serving God, that God loves those who love, and that the only way to God is through love.

Everyday we need to be reminded of the importance of living by love. We are busy, we are distracted, we get wrapped up in ourselves, forget to love. Nasser, I wholeheartedly support your mission of bringing happiness to individuals and peace to the world. In fact, I have now incorporated the practice of bringing the Love Is The Solution principles of acceptance, fairness and doing one's best into my daily meetings with those seeking my counsel and guidance. I completely agree that your message of "Love is the Solution" must be brought to all nations. Your endeavors to remind us, the citizens and their leaders, that especially in these times, of greatest need, we must bring love into our daily actions. I applaud your efforts, and believe your work will be a force for peace.

Sincerely,

Imam Mehdi Khorasani
