It is an adornment that does not lose its luster, and strength to face the challenges of contemporary life, and with it the Muslim becomes stronger despite all circumstances.
Dr Al Jumaili said that faith in the life of a Muslim is the foundation on which his life is straightened. It is the true adornment that gives the heart light, the soul tranquility, and the mind balance. It fills the heart with confidence and contentment, and is a source for the believer to adhere to moral values of honesty, trustworthiness, justice, and humility, based on his belief that God is watching him in secret and in public.
