Khaberni - There are shared elements between civilizations that make cooperation between them possible. At the forefront of these elements are humanity's need for stability and achieving balances of justice.
Civilizations should not distract themselves with competition to enrich differences over beliefs, but can instead meet on common grounds in the service of humanity as Almighty God said:【....For each [community], We have established a law and a way. Had Allah willed, He could have made you one community, but [He intended] to test you in what He has given you; so race to all that is good.】Quran 5:48
A quick look at our world shows that humanity is suffering greatly from the disintegration of the ethical value system, which poses a threat to the cohesion and cleanliness of societies.
Therefore, spaces must be dedicated where focus is placed on the shared elements within the ethical value systems in civilizations, closely connecting to the value of justice, because justice is considered the goal of every ethical act, and an integral part of the human value system.
It is essential, then, to swiftly address all these negative influences with the aim of eliminating them or at least minimizing them in service to humanity, as it affects humanity in one way or another, and indeed the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, symbolically depicted humanity as being aboard a single ship in one of his sayings, and thus, it is crucial for humanity to develop a sense of collective cooperation among themselves if they wish for their ship not to sink. As the Earth carries us all and it resembles a spaceship sailing through space
