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.
