This photo of Grand Imam Nasaruddin Umar kissing Pope Francis’s forehead is one of the most touching and heartwarming images ever seen in recent time.
Taken on Wednesday, September 11, 2024, at Istiqlal Mosque in Jakarta, Indonesia, during Pope Francis’ visit to the South East Asia and world’s most populous Muslim nation, the photo stands as a testimony to the possibility of lasting peace and common understanding among peoples of the world, based on our shared humanity, not along religious, cultural or racial lines.
Should everyone learn to respect each other, regardless of faith or religion, the world could achieve peace.
