Dear Friend
--
Abrahamic faiths trace their founding to Prophet Abraham and the
followers share his legacy, albeit in their own ways.
Muslims commemorate Prophet Abraham and his family on the tenth day
of the last month of the Islamic calendar, known as the day of Eid
al-Adha, or the Celebration of Sacrifice. This year, Eid al-Adha fell
on July 31st.?
In the Islamic tradition, the story of Abraham and Ishmael is
almost the same as the biblical story except that it is Ishmael, and
not Isaac, being sacrificed.
Whichever son it was, the story of Abraham teaches us that the
price to uphold truth and justice is paid through personal
sacrifice.?
At CLUE, as people of different faiths and traditions, we come
together and volunteer our time to make this world a better place for
those who are pushed to the margins. ?
We invite you to join us in our shared struggle and to honor the
legacy of our common father, Prophet Abraham (peace and blessings be
upon him) and his progeny.? ?
