Dicastery for Interreligious dialog sent a message to Muslims on the occasion of their post-month Ramadan. The message quotes the declaration “Nostra aetate”, which describes the Mahamethane as followers of the only God, the Creator of the world. However, for unknown reasons, Dycasteria compared Ramadan with Lent – in addition, suggesting that they overlap this year in the calendar by the will of Providence itself.
‘This year, for reasons of providence. ProvidentialIt is written. "This journey together allows us to admit our fragility and face the trials our heart faces," added.
The dicastery wrote that Christians and Muslims flow “on 1 boat”, which is simply a quote from Pope Francis; it indicated that they are united by “the experience of trial, and the sacred work of restoring peace to the weak world.” "In this common period of Ramadan and Lent, let our interior transformation be the catalyst for a renewed world, in which the war weapon will give way to the courage of peace" concluded Dycasteria.
The message was signed by prefect of this office of the Holy See, Cardinal George Jacob Koovakad.
The Muhammads believe in God as the Creator of the world, but categorically reject Incarnation in Jesus Christ. This is simply a fundamental difference, as Christians pray to God as His children, and the Mahamethan position is much more impersonal. In addition, the Koran clearly presents Muhammad's mission as a “repair of error” for Christians.
