Essay / We are all one - 1930
Each of the world's three great religions share moral precepts that emphasize a fundamental unity. Christianity, Judaism, and Islam address various issues of morality in their sacred texts. With two billion followers, Christianity is the largest religion in the world and is practiced in Europe, North and South America and Africa. The sacred text of Christians is the Bible which consists of the Old and New Testaments. However, the four gospels of the New Testament describe the saving work of God and his son Jesus Christ and provide a guide to important moral values. The main day of worship for Christians is Sunday and many believers gather in churches, cathedrals and chapels to pay respect to their Creator. The second largest religion in the world is Islam. Islam is practiced in countries in the Middle East and Southeast Asia. The founder of Islam was the last prophet of Allah, Muhammad. The life of the Prophet Muhammad illustrates his status as a model for Muslim societies and individuals. His life was dominated by morals and good habits. The Quran is considered sacred to Muslims. The Quran tells Muslims to do good deeds and they will receive their reward when they die in judgment. The Quran sets out the principles of human rights, women's rights, beliefs and the equality of all people or cultures. The Muslim God, Allah, knows that humans are aware of their ability to differentiate between good and evil, but it is their decision to put into practice what they know. Muslims follow the Five Pillars, which are basic concepts and obligatory acts of worship that touch every aspect of life and society. The Five Pillars provide guidance on many topics such as witnessing, prayer, almsgiving, fasting, and pilgrimage. Most Muslims come together in the middle of a paper......one god. Although each religion has specific rituals such as prayer, fasting, dietary restrictions and pilgrimage, they all share common beliefs. They are all focused on the well-being of the entire community. Mark 12:13 says, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” » There is no greater commandment than this. ().God is beyond our ability to understand, but God is present in our everyday lives. Each person is created in the image and likeness of God. God created each individual to do good in the world by serving others. People have free will to make choices in their lives and each of us is responsible for the consequences of those choices. As Kofi Annan once said: “We may have different religions, different languages, different skin colors, but we all belong to the same human race. »."
