A Call for Unity
(may Allah bless him and grant him peace). The people of Israel
were living perfectly at ease. They were living in Jerusalem then,
in the region that is Israel. They were happy and wealthy. Our
Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) treat-
ed them with love and affection. One can marry Jewish
girls, eat meat they have prepared, sit down at their
tables, visit their homes and be friends with them,
and that was what happened in the time of our
Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him
peace) and is Sunnah. The same applies to
the Christians. As you know, one of our
Prophet's (may Allah bless him and grant
him peace) concubines was a Christian.
She is our mother, I mean someone we re-
call with love and respect. I am not only
talking about Judaism here, the same
goes for Christians. They are also
people with the right to live in
happiness and peace, with the
right to comfortable lives, with
the right to live in wealth and
abundance, and we must see
that they enjoy the ability to live
in that way.
