People who think
that Christians hate Muslims should watch this video. Many times, they open
their houses and churches to us. We should learn from this example because this
is the real essence of religions, and this is the same message that the prophet
Mohamed wanted to teach us when he received the Christians community of Najran
in the first Mosque built in the world. As their discussion with the Prophet in
the mosque took quite a long time, it was time for their evening prayer. As
they prepared to pray, some of the Prophet’s followers wanted to prevent the
Christians from doing so. The Prophet ordered them to let the Christians offer
their normal prayer. After that, the discussion would be resumed.
I remember when my friend
Manolo from Sevilla invited me to his house. He changed the menu just because
he knew that, as Muslim, I cannot eat pork meat. The same happened when Gloria
invited me to have lunch. She had baked tuna pie but she realized after that
they had some lard. So, she cooked other meal. Besides, I will never forget Bárbara
who bring me a cake as a present and she told me: “Do not worry, I asked and it
does not have any lard”. It was so exciting for me because I often buy pastries
but I never ask whether they have some lard or not. All of them care for some
details that even me as Muslim I do not care sometimes. This means that they
know the real meaning of love that I should learn from them as a person.
We should all
learn from those examples and realize that we are all brothers and sisters and
all religions have the same message: LOVE God, LOVE the Others, LOVE nature, and
LOVE ourself. Our mission as Christians, Jews Muslims and others, or just as
person is to practice LOVE in what we do, what we say, and what we feel. Hope
we can all understand the real meaning of LOVE.
