We wish to respond to evil with good, as our faith instructs us, and send a powerful message of compassion through action. Our Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said: “Show mercy to those on earth, and the One in the Heavens will show mercy to you.” The Quran also teaches us to “Repel evil by that which is better” (41:34).
