By In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
“I did not send you O Muhammad except as a mercy to all mankind”, Holy Quran.
A third Sukkah was built yesterday at the entrance of Masjid Al Iman by Beis Menachem Synagogue collocated with Masjid Al Iman in the Bronx. This is indeed one of the best ways to refute extremists’ hateful recruitment narratives. We firmly believe that when the followers of God walk their talks, extremism would immediately fade away from existence.
What permits us as Muslims to have a Sukkah at our Mosque?
“Those who believe (in the Qur’an), and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians,- any who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and work righteousness, shall have their reward with their Lord; on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve”. Holy Quran 2:62.
