Strive for peace
and justice for all!
The Holy Quran: "Do not let your hatred of a people incite
you to aggression." (5:2).
"And do not let ill-will towards
any folk incite you so that you swerve from dealing justly. Be just;
that is nearest to heedfulness" (5:8).
From the
Life of the Prophet
Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him) sent a message to the monks of
Saint Catherine in Mount Sinai:
"This is a message written by Muhammad ibn
Abdullah, as a covenant to those who adopt Christianity, far and near,
we are behind them. Verily, I defend them by myself, the servants, the
helpers, and my followers, because Christians are my citizens; and by
Allah! I hold out against anything that displeases them. No compulsion
is to be on them. Neither are their judges to be changed from their
jobs, nor their monks from their monasteries. No one is to destroy a
house of their religion, to damage it, or to carry anything from it to
the Muslims' houses. Should anyone take any of these, he would spoil
God's covenant and disobey His Prophet. Verily, they (Christians) are
my allies and have my secure charter against all that they hate. No
one is to force them to travel or to oblige them to fight. The Muslims
are to fight for them. If a female Christian is married to a Muslim,
this is not to take place without her own wish. She is not to be
prevented from going to her church to pray. Their churches are to be
respected. They are neither to be prevented from repairing them nor
the sacredness of their covenants. No one of the nation is to disobey
this covenant till the Day of Judgment and the end of the world."

Palestine: the People and the Land
Dispossessed, deprived of their birthright and denied basic human
rights and freedoms, millions of Palestinians daily endure a rare
fate. Just the simple act of surviving through the day under
occupation requires enormous resilience in the face of a superior
war machine, supported by the world's single superpower. Yet
Palestinians have never lost hope that one day they will be able
to live in freedom, peace and prosperity in their own independent
homeland. |
