There Is Nothing In Islam That Is

God [is] Not The Exclusive Property Of Any One Tradition. The Divine Light [cannot] Be Confined To A Single Lamp, Belonging To The East Or The West, But Enlightens All Human Beings.

It's Quite Common For A Sufi Mystic To Cry In Ecstasy That He's Neither A Jew, A Christian, Nor A Muslim. He Is At Home Equally In A Synagogue, A Mosque, A Temple, Or A Church Because When One's Glimpsed The Divine, One's Left These Man-made Distinctions Behind.

I Learned A Lot From Both, Initially Jewish And Muslim Theologians That Had Been Missing, Perhaps From My Rather Parochial Catholic Upbringing.

In The Past Some Of The Most Influential Jewish, Christian And Muslim Theologians, Such As Maimonides, Aquinas And Ibn Sina, Made It Clear That It Was Very Difficult To Speak About God, Because When We Confront The Ultimate, We Are At The End Of What Words Or Thoughts Can Do.

I Remind Myself That My Pain Is Not Unique. Everybody Suffers.
