rp s a lifie som of th
teachings presented by the Imams.
“When we say to worship only
Allah or God as the Qur’an teaches
we mean to worship the creator not
creation. Anything you can perceive
with the senses or imagine in your
mind is creation. So we say ‘La illa-
illallah’ there is no God but the one
God. Worship only the creator.
“The Qur’an also instructs us to
love all men and to respect other
men’s religion. Muhammad was the
most recent prophet sent to enlight-
en mankind but not the only one.
Jesus was also God’s messenger and
so was Moses. And the Christian Bi-
ble is a revelation of divine will and
the Jewish Torah as well.”
Danquah said Islam does not rec-
ognize racial or color differences.
“The Qur’an says that the most hon-
mored among you are those most duti-
ful to God.”
Islamic services are held every Fri-
day as prescribed in the Qur’an at 1
p.m. in the Religious Education Cen-
ter bldg. 114. Classes for the study of
Arabic and the teachings of Muham-
mad are also held Sundays from 10
a.m.-noon at the center.
Danquah added that Muslims go
back to work after Friday services.
“Muslims don’t separate their reli-
gion from their business. They dedi-
cate all their deeds to God. We sol-
diers at ort Hood serve Allah
through service to our country. The
military may come to depend on
Muslims because of their upright sta-
ture and because they are not dis-
tracted by alcohol or drags or foolish
pursuits.”
