Human development is about people, their interactions and dreams, as well as their beliefs, worldviews, and identities. It is also about the emotions and insights of being human, our sense of hope and fear, and our collective vulnerability as we continually strive to look for a better future. For some this means the right to be who they are, to live where they were born. For others, it means breaking from cycles of poverty and despair. Our privileges as the coeditors of this journal extend beyond access to an array of textual submissions from around the globe to a state of enrichment and hope in education. With each submission comes profound research endeavors toward new considerations and reimagined possibilities for those who are visible and invisible. Each submission confirms our belief in people’s potential to transform their lives as individuals and groups. And to do so, we emphasize the intersection between human development and education as critical for improving lives, nourishing well-rounded individuals, and creating caring societies and communities. This issue takes a broad human development view on life, from the early years all the way to adulthood and death. More specifically we emphasize the legacy people leave behind when they dedicate their lives to improving the human development trajectory, especially in Muslim societies, as in the case of the late professor Dr. Abdul Hamid AbuSulayman, who left us toward the end of last year. In this issue we celebrate his life and accomplishments.
