Interfaith Celebration of International Day of Peace at Littlefield Presbyterian Church in Dearborn!
Shared by Imam Mohammad Ali Elahi- September 21st was recognized as the International Day of Peace by UN in 1981. While many areas of the world, especially the Middle East are burning in the fire of foolish fighting fueled by politics, greed, arrogance and hypocrisy and the waves of Syrian refuges break the heart of every conscious human being, we me t yesterday to pray for peace and justice.
The entire service was inspiring- the thoughtful prayers of Rev. Fran Hayes- the leader of the church, the Adan and recitation of the Quran by young boys, Mohammad Hussein Elahi, Ehsan and Erfan Karimi , the Jewish song by Cantor Roger Skully and Christian spiritual music.
I also addressed the interfaith audience and wished that every day was a day of peace, prayer, love and unity.
Peace is God's name, it's the title of Paradise, and it's the mission of Abraham, Muses, Jesus and Mohammad.
Peace is possible if we work together. Peace should start from our hearts and navigates its journey through our families, communities and countries.
Let's ask the Lord of love, mercy, wisdom, truth and justice to enlighten our minds with His Wisdom, our hearts with humility, our wills with strength and determination and make us instruments of peace, justice and service to His creation.
Let's continue to work together for a better tomorrow. For a world free of injustice, war, terrorism, violence and oppression.
The reason I chose those young boys to recite the Quran for this service was to emphasize on the importance of engagement of our families and children in this interfaith journey. None of us can change the world alone, we need to work together to make a difference and kids need to learn how to carry this legacy!
