From the highest point of John Hancock Tower,
you realize a truth you had never seen before.
You will never know your true scale
unless you rise to a great height.
Here, you do not only see the city—
you see the power of God in creating you,
and in granting you the mind
to achieve what once seemed impossible.
From this height,
you gaze upon a work of art created by God,
and upon the miracle of the human mind
that turned imagination into reality.
Every angle tells a story,
every view carries a narrative,
and every horizon marks the beginning of a new ascent.
Yet the northern side of the city gives you the answer.
To your right: water and sky.
To your left: towering buildings.
It is as if God speaks in silence:
Water is the source of life,
through it your body and soul are revealed.
The sky is our first home—
we belong to Paradise
before we belong to the earth.
As for the buildings on your left,
they represent the earth—
a temporary place to invest our abilities,
to strive for God’s purpose:
worship, and the building of life.
When you turn back,
the scene reverses,
and the message becomes complete:
Believe in God. Purify yourself. Strive.
So you may build the earth
and be among the righteous.
God’s equation is simple:
Believe in God.
Cleanse your heart of all that is harmful.
Then believe in yourself—
and begin the work.
Let there be a paradise for you on earth
as you walk toward the Paradise of the heavens.
“And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.”
“And We made from water every living thing.”
“But for the one who fears the standing before his Lord are two gardens.”
🌙🙏Islam is the true religion:
belief, purification, and purpose
in perfect harmony.
“Indeed, the religion in the sight of God is Islam.”
(Qur’an 3:19)
