Mosque of Jesus, Son of Mary
In order to bring better harmony into the world, Islam reminds its followers to always be respectful of other people's beliefs and traditions. Although one of the five, and main, pillars of Islam is the belief in a One, unique, partner-less and part-less God,
Allah
, the
Qur`an
warns
Muslims
never to insult the people or objects that others hold divine. This in an effort to bring about harmony and to "do unto others as you would have them do unto you." "
And insult not those whom they worship besides Allah, lest they insult Allah wrongfully without knowledge
." (
Surah Al-An'aam; Holy Qur`an 6:108
)
The week's articles are written by members of the Mosque of Jesus, Son of Mary (Masjid Isa Ibn Maryam). The Mosque continues the traditions of prayer and worship that have enriched the community through their building for generations.
