Jerusalem Grand Mufti Receives Covenants


Gary L. Krupp, Founder and President of Pave the Way Foundation, a non-sectarian organization dedicated to achieving peace by closing the gap in tolerance, education and the practical relations between religions, through cultural, technological and intellectual exchanges, recently granted a copy of "The Covenants of the Prophet Muhammad with the Christians of the World'' by Dr. John Andrew Morrow to Muhammad Ahmad Hussein, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. 
 
The Mufti issued a strong press release condemning the murders of the Egyptian Christians and the atrocious assassination of the Jordanian pilot. He visited the great synagogue in Jerusalem with Gary L. Krupp and a group of rabbis to personally deliver his condolences for the Jews killed in France. He also visited the Jordanian and Egyptian embassies to personally deliver his condolences. In a gesture of solidarity, the Grand Mufti provided Gary L. Krupp with some books destined to Dr. John Andrew Morrow who, along with Charles Upton, is at the head of the Covenants Initiative, a movement committed to disseminating traditional Islam, defending the oppressed of the Earth, including persecuted Christians, Sufis, Shiites, and Sunnis, and improving interfaith relations.


Read our interview with Dr. John Andrew Morrow, and an article he wrote about the historical validlity of the Covenant of the Prophet Muhammad with the Monks of Mt. Sinai.

عن أبي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه قَالَ:
قَبَّلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ وَعِنْدَهُ الأَقْرَعُ بْنُ حَابِسٍ التَّمِيمِيُّ جَالِسًا‏.‏ فَقَالَ الأَقْرَعُ إِنَّ لِي عَشَرَةً مِنَ الْوَلَدِ مَا قَبَّلْتُ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدًا‏.‏ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ مَنْ لاَ يَرْحَمُ لاَ يُرْحَمُ ‏"‏‏
God's Messenger kissed Al-Hasan bin Ali (his grandchild) while Al-Aqra' bin Habis At-Tamim was sitting beside him. Al-Aqra said, "I have ten children and I have never kissed anyone of them", God's Messenger cast a look at him and said, "Whoever is not merciful to others will not be treated mercifully." (Bukhari, Good Manners and Form (Al-Adab), 18)
