The great danger of doing what is right in one’s own eyes, is that you are setting yourself up for destruction, because you are not consulting god first, you are following your own understanding of how things should go.

award-winning novels illustrate the fact that the viewpoints of authors who are members of the minority groups about which they write have a unique perspective that can be universally appreciated.

of Christianity, there seems to be numerous debates on several topics of interpretation of Scripture.

The story of Joseph in the Quran is very similar to that in the Bible. Joseph is the son of Jacob, and has 11 brothers who grow jealous of him.

Eventually, he encounters his brothers, and forgives them. One thing that struck me greatly was the compassion of Joseph.
