Perhaps another idea would be to organize classes to study the Bible?

A Rabbi and a Buddhist Monk are having a conversation about both of their religions. After the Rabbi explained why Buddhism is a form of idolatry, the Monk asked the Rabbi for a sefer Torah — a parchment hand-written Torah of the type we’ve had for 3,500 years.

The Monk looks over the scroll, asks the Rabbi to read parts, and then rolls it back up. He starts walking towards and open window, when the Rabbi realizes he intends to throw it out the window — a window that opens to the side of a mountain, where the sefer Torah will surely be destroyed by the fall.

The Rabbi immediately tells the Monk to stop and starts talking about how holy a sefer Torah is.

The Monk turns and asks him “Which one of us is the idolater now?”

The answer is that the Torah (and Qur’an) you can hold, read, cherish — as well as desecrate, burn, abuse, etc. — is not The Torah (or Qur’an). The NAZIs stole sifrei Torah, burned our synagogues, murdered our people, and we’re still here. Extremist fanatics can burn Qur’ans, flush them down toilets, make fun of them, and all these other actions, but the Qur’an that can be abused is not The Qur’an.

A very good response to this whole Fitna. It reflects the true temperance of Islam as opposed to those radicals who have given so-called “fatwa” to kill Terry Jones. May Allah guide us. Thank you, Shaykh. You’re a good brother.

Great article Sr. Jinan! May Allah (swt) make us among those who keep the Qur’an close throughout the year and let it penetrate our hearts. Ameen.

PS. Missing the feeling of awaiting the Salah Series parts 🙁
