The Children of Israel are the children, and later descendants of Prophet Jacob (Isra’el). There are several verses in the Quran that inform us about the trials that Jacob and his descendants endured. The Qur’an also covers the story of Jacob’s grandfather Prophet Abraham and several prophets from his progeny.

Jews endured trials in the Christian lands, but they enjoyed safety and prosperity in the Muslim lands. This changed after the start of the Zionist movement, and the creation of the state Israel.

Children of Israel, Judaism, Zionism, and the state of Israel; how they are related and what makes them different.

In December 2015, the political rhetoric against Muslims was escalating. Dr. Larycia Hawkins, an African American political science professor at Wheaton College—a prestigious evangelical school outside of Chicago—wanted to show support for Muslim women. She posted a photo of herself in a hijab on Facebook. “I love my Muslim neighbor,” she wrote, “because she deserves love by virtue of her/his human dignity… we worship the same God.”

Within days, Wheaton’s Provost suspended Dr. Hawkins, eventually moving to terminate her tenure.

We miss our monthly opportunity for us to meet together at our mosque.

We ask God to keep you safe and protect us all from the hardships that we are facing.

We can always take a positive attitude and accept the challenges presented to us. We will continue to support each other and work together.

We can take this as an opportunity to strengthen our relationship with God and re-build our faith.

Here is a video from the archives of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Atlanta that we like to share it with you.
