Jerusalem: Three religions, three families | Faith Matters

The Old City of Jerusalem covers less than one square kilometer and is home to Jews, Christians and Muslims. The political tensions dividing Israel and the Palestinians are felt acutely here. How do the Old City's residents deal with this stress? We put that question to three families and to three clerics representing the three 'world religions'.

Allah SWT said:

قُولُوٓا ءَامَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَمَآ أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْنَا وَمَآ أُنْزِلَ إِلٰىٓ إِبْرٰهِـۧمَ وَإِسْمٰعِيلَ وَإِسْحٰقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَالْأَسْبَاطِ وَمَآ أُوتِىَ مُوسٰى وَعِيسٰى وَمَآ أُوتِىَ النَّبِيُّونَ مِنْ رَّبِّهِمْ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِّنْهُمْ وَنَحْنُ لَهُۥ مُسْلِمُونَ
"Say, [O believers], We have believed in Allah and what has been revealed to us and what has been revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the Descendants and what was given to Moses and Jesus and what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him."
(QS. Al-Baqara 2: Verse 136)

[laniladera]

I don't think there's a problem with the different religions in a city or in a country. Look at most of the countries, they are a fusion of different religions but they are happy together. Respect is the core of a happy relationship. Politics is what creates the problem since it's their desire to overrule the others.

I'm a Christian but not Roman Catholic. We don't worship idols. We worship God through Jesus Christ the Messiah.

when i was young my classmate beat me. and i tell to my mom and i was crying that time. and my mom talked to my teacher. when i get home i was so angry and my mom talked to me that i need to learn how to forgive. because forgiveness will give peace to ur heart and mind. that's what jesus taught us. Love your enemies will give u peace of mind. mom advice if someone tried to provoke u leave them and smile so u won't be hurt:) catholic christian here🙌🏻and proud:)
