Abstract: Today we live in a world that seeks rapprochement, communication, and interaction among its various social components, and reaches out for mutual collaboration and removal of the different barriers that separate its diverse people. Our focus in such efforts is to cherish and reinforce our common human, moral, and religious values, which include faith in ethics, good deeds, the need for reward and punishment, shared ideals, human rights and human dignity, principles of equity and justice, as well as freedom of will and moral responsibility. We aim further toward the realization of our mutual benefits, the resolution of disputes and conflicts, and warding off dangers and adversities.
