وَٱللَّهُ أَخْرَجَكُم مِّنۢ بُطُونِ أُمَّهَـٰتِكُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ شَيْـًۭٔا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَٱلْأَبْصَـٰرَ وَٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةَ ۙ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ ٧٨

This recipe brought many fond memories of when communities lived together despite each being different in person and belief. There was unity, selflessness and safety with each other.
In present days where trials and so much is going on , unfortunately we can not trust any religious leaders, elders, close relatives and friends with whom we are supposed to be safe with. Where are we headed when we can not trust each other or be safe with?
