The Love

By Soborno Isaac Bari

The Love is a book about Soborno Isaac Bari, a four-year-old Muslim child who launched a campaign to create a world without terrorism. The book is divided into two parts: (1) Soborno’s fight with Imams to change their perception on non-Muslims and (2) his fights with Muslim Americans to denounce terrorism and be patriotic. Millions of people joined his campaign across the world—especially people in Bangladesh where two young Muslim students, Sadiyan Lima (Dhaka University) and Marjia Farzana (Jahangirnagar University), led the movement on behalf of their respective universities. It inspired many people, including Zahid Hossain and Safir Biplob and his son, to stand against the terror of the Islamic State. Zahid published Soborno’s biography, while Safir and his son went to 64,000 villages in Bangladesh posting 64,000 posters. Meanwhile, Uday Bengali made a documentary, I Love Christmas, which created an anti-terrorism movement around Bangladesh that is based on the philosophy of Soborno.

Soborno Isaac Bari

Soborno Isaac Bari was born on April 9, 2012, at New York Presbyterian Queens Hospital. He is an Asian-American prodigy, the author of The Love, and the world’s youngest professor. He was seven years old when he became a guest professor at the Ruia College of Mumbai University. Bari’s father, Rashidul, and mother, Shaheda, were immigrants from Bangladesh. Bari also has a brother, Refath. His parents observed that he began talking in full sentences at six months old and was able to solve mathematics, physics, and chemistry problems at two years old. His parents started recording his problem-solving abilities and shared videos of him on social media, some of which caught the attention of local TV networks and colleges in New York. On November 3, 2014, when Bari was only two years old, Medgar Evers College Vice President Jerald Posman interviewed him. Bari’s problem-solving abilities also caught the attention of Voice of America (VOA). On February 13, 2015, VOA invited two-year-old Bari for an interview. VOA published this interview on their website and broadcast it twice, noting that Bari was the youngest interviewee since the founding of VOA in 1942. In April 2016, Dr. Lisa Coico, President of City College in New York, gave Bari the nickname “Einstein of our time” for his achievement in a series of tests in math and science. In 2016, at age four, Bari received recognition from President Barack Obama for his accomplishments in math and science, and in 2018, at age six, he received a letter from Harvard University President Drew Faust. In 2021, he received an invitation to speak at the Harvard Project for Asian and International Relations (HPAIR). Bari was accepted into New York City’s gifted and talented program later the same year. Bari is currently a fourth grader at Davison Avenue Intermediate School and taking eighth grade classes at Howard T. Herber Middle School. On April 24, 2018, Dr. Thomas Isekenegbe, President of Bronx C. College, interviewed Bari to learn more about his anti-terrorism campaign and upcoming book, The Love. On March 15, 2019, Bari published The Love to promote his anti-terrorism campaign of the same name. It became an international bestseller. In 2019, Bari received an invitation from Nobel Laureate Kailash Satyarthi, SP Pune University Vice-Chancellor Nitin Karmalkar, and the Principal of Ruia Autonomous College, Dr. Anushree Lokur, to make a trip to India. On January 3, 2020, Bari received the Global Child Prodigy Award from Nobel Laureate Kailash Satyarthi. On January 4, 2020, Bari was recognized by the principal of Ruia College, Dr. Anurshee Lokur. On January 6, Bari gave a talk on The Love at SP Pune University for university faculty, students, and alumni. In March 2020, Oscar-nominated actor Melissa McCarthy interviewed Bari at Warner Bros Studio for NBC’s Little Big Shots. His interview was broadcast on NBC during prime time on March 8, 2020. He also received recognition from the New York State Governor. He regularly delivers lectures at many Indian universities, including Sacred Heart College and Geeta Jevon College. He has inspired millions of students to fall in love with math and science through his YouTube channel, Bari Science Lab, which has more than 300,000 subscribers. In 2021, he won Da Vinci Laureate Award from The Vinci Institution, South Africa.

Bio

1.png

A Muslim woman joined the anti-terrorism movement: Farjana Marjia, a student of Jahangirnagar University, is the first woman to join the anti-terrorism revolution to help Soborno Isaac create a world without terrorism. By doing so, she has become the face of the anti-terrorism revolution and the Rosa Parks of all Bengali women. She was inspired by Isaac’s movie and motivated to promote his message that we are all Muslim, but we love all other religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, and a Judaism. We celebrate Eid, but we also love celebrating Christmas and other holidays.

Sadiyan Lima, a student of Dhaka University, is the second woman who joined Soborno Isaac to create a world without terrorism. By doing so, she has become the symbol of all Muslim women. As a response to this, I wrote a letter to my biographer, Dear Zahid, indicating that I wanted him to carry Sadiyan’s poster to every village in Bangladesh to promote women’s support for the fight against terrorism.

DEDICATION

To President Obama

It was November 2016. A four-year-old boy with the weird name Soborno became famous around the world overnight after receiving recognition from President Obama for being able to solve PhD-level math, physics, and chemistry problems. This was followed by many other recognitions from renowned universities, such as Harvard. The boy decided to use his fame to launch The Love, a campaign to defeat terrorism by inspiring young people to fall in love with math and science.

I am this boy, and I want you to read my book and join my campaign The Love.

INTRODUCTION

I am pleased to write this forward for Soborno Issac’s book The Love. It is refreshing to know that in the world we live in today a child can conceptualize the meaning of love and how it can bring all of us together.

In a world where we try to differentiate from one another based on religion, race, and creed, it is important that we recognize that the most humanizing way to live on this earth is together through love and appreciating one another.

Soborno illustrated in his book how love can solve all problems. Love allows us to recognize our humanity and acknowledge that we all have a responsibility to one another, to create a better world for the generations coming after.

It is my
