Praying with my Muslim brothers and sisters
Today, I attended a Muslim prayer service at UIC. It was great.
I felt very good. The service was simple. The structure of the service
was: individual prayers at the beginning, recitation from the Quran, sermon and
short silence, and a prayer done together.
Everything was done in 35 min. I was
very much welcomed there. It was a very
good experience. I would like to go
there again. They are my brothers.
When I prayed there I realized I can pray with them
(Muslims) and I can pray with the Jewish people however, Muslims and Jews are
not able to pray with Christians. The break
is the Council of Nicaea 325CE – creating, promoting and dogmatizing the doctrine
of Trinity – One God in three persons/energies.
That realization made me very sad.
I wish we could overcome this somehow. There is so much that unites Jews,
Christians and Muslims. Why do we emphasize
the differences?
I pray with Jews, Christians and Muslim and I pray for all
of them.
God is great!
