Greetings to People of the Book on Pesach (Passover) and Easter

The Center for Islamic Pluralism extends best wishes on their holy days to the People of the Book: firstly to the Jews celebrating Pesach (Passover) and their liberation through a divine command to Moses/Musa, peace be upon him, who is often mentioned in Qur'an and whose exemplary life and struggle for justice against the idolatrous Pharaoh remain ideals for all Muslims.

We also greet the Christians who on Easter celebrate Jesus/Isa, peace be upon him, and whose prophethood cannot be doubted.

Following the guidance of classical Islam, we proclaim anew that there are no differences among God's Prophets, and wish the Jews the greatest happiness in divine victory over a cruel tyranny, and hope the Christians will experience a joyful realization of their love of Jesus.

"Surely, those who believe, and the Jews and the Christians and the Sabians, whoever have faith with true hearts in Allah and in the Last Day and do good deeds, their reward is with their Lord, and there shall be no fear for them nor any grief." Qur'an 2:62
