...the beauty of the أَذَان ...

Azan yg dilaungkan oleh Abdelwahab Ben Yusuf di Gereja Marble Collegiate di kawasan Manhattan, New York. Suara azan yg dikumandangkan oleh anggota jemaah Marble Collegiate Church itu merupakan salah satu acara awal ketika berlangsungnya dialog segi tiga agama dalam kalangan penganut agama Islam, Kristian dan Yahudi di New York pada 20 Jun 2011.

In a show of extraordinary good faith, an ecumenical coalition of rabbis, priests, imams, ministers, and layman of many faiths and denominations gathered at the United Nations in New York to develop an initiative that would involve persons of faith – clergy and laypeople – in the decision making process of the UN.

Sponsored by the Inter-Parliamentary Coalition for Global Ethics and co-hosted by the Pastor Enoch Adebayo, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God and the mission of Bosnia-Herzegovina to the United Nations, working under the UN’s Alliance of Civilizations, the summit, held June 20, brought together leaders in the the Abrahamic faith groups, to an international conference held under multi-national patronage and “notably, King Mohammed VI of Morocco.”

  

p/s    it is clear that nobody can force anyone away from the faith in which one has been brought up. However, as genuine love flows from sincere hearts of men and women in place of prayers, steadfast supplications should continued to be made unto the Living God (Allah swt), He is more than able to redeem those He loves. Clergy men across faiths can help lay the foundation of peace and communal living among their wards around the world by being exemplary in their conducts and words and in condemnation of violence; while promoting peace and enlightenment in their various communities through compulsory, modern education for their wards, the practice of democracy and responsible freedom of choices and speech. Informed people are better able to make informed choices and better judgements irrespective of our respective faiths.

Amazing sound calling for the prayer in a church near the University of Southern California, USA when the three religions gathered in one place. MashaAllah. God bless this man.
