For the Islamic fast month of Ramadan, the Vatican has again sent a message to Muslims around the world. In the greeting, the Vatican commemorates the similarities of the Christian Lent period and Ramadan. The times of fasting are also times of prayer and charity.
They offer a “special opportunity for internal innovation and to strengthen solidarity with the needy”. As “authentic brothers and sisters”, Christians and Muslims are called to jointly testify to God’s friendship with all humanity. Common values such as justice, compassion and respect for creation must serve as a compass.
The message of the Vatican also says: “For you, dear Muslims, hope is fed by trust in the divine grace that allows and leads. For us Christians it is due to the certainty that God’s love is stronger than all temptations and obstacles.
Vatican: Beauty of the “Differentiation”
The believers of both religions are asked to reject all forms of violence, discrimination and exclusion. “Our faith and the values must help us to vaguely speak against injustice and indifference and the beauty of human diversity.”
The first Friday prayer in the Muslim -Fasting month of Ramadan was now without fears without incidents in Jerusalem. According to estimates by the Muslim WAQF Authority, around 90,000 believers participated in prayer on the Temple Mount in the old town of Jerusalem. According to his own information, the Israel police are used with many forces in Jerusalem during Ramadan.
The Tempelberg is an important holy place for Jews, Muslims and Christians. Until the Romans destroyed in the year 70, the Jewish temple, the central sanctuary of Israel and the center of his religious life, was here. In Islam, the Temple Mount (Al-Haram Al-Sharif) with the Rock Dome and the Al-Aksa-Mosque is the third holy place. In the past, the nationalist Israelis visit the Temple Mount and about Jewish requirements for prayer rights on the Temple Mount, sometimes violent protest from Palestinians.
