MUSLIM FUN FACT OF THE DAY: As friends are currently celebrating Hanukkah and more friends are getting ready to celebrate Christmas, please consider this - Islam is also an "Abrahamic faith." The Prophet Abraham (PBUH = peace be upon him - which Muslims say after all prophets' names out of respect) is a BIG prophet for us and his name is mentioned in our 5 daily prayers. We are a part of "the covenant of Abraham" and therefore consider that Jews, Christians, and Muslims are all "people of book." The term "People of the Book" in the Qur'an (32 separate verses) refers to followers of monotheistic Abrahamic religions that are older than Islam. This includes all Christians, all Children of Israel (including Jews, Karaites and Samaritans), and Sabians. We have far more in common than we have differences.‪#‎OneLove‬ ‪#‎MuslimFunFactOfTheDay‬
