Regarding this world.....

The Prophet Muhammad said
" The one who makes this world his focus, God will deprive him of contentment and heartfelt satisfaction. He will remain ever in greedy pursuit of wealth and unattainable desires, and he will never receive more than the share that God has ordained for him.

Whoever makes their focus the next life, God will bestow contentment and heartfelt satisfaction on them. He will also protect them from being greedy for wealth, and they will get their allotted share in this world"

Newstory reaction: Episcopal minister defrocked after becoming a Muslim

Story Highlights
Ann Holmes Redding says she saw no contradiction in Muslim being a minister

Christian parishioners, family saw Redding as having abandoned her faith

Diocese rules that priest "cannot be both a Christian and a Muslim"


This is such a fansinating story to me- a women who is a Christian priest but became Muslim but insists she can be both. I admire her strength to define her relationship with God on her own terms- the two faiths are very similar and have positive aspects. But the main difference of the faiths is what makes her view so puzzeling: how can you be Muslim if you see Jesus as more than a prophet?
I can relate because I enjoyed many aspects of being a Chrisitan and also admired the structure in the Muslim faith- I became Muslim because I was bothered by the Christian trinity. I pray she continues to talk to God and stay strong
