From our regular contributor, Dr Hamid Hussain. He is doing a series on Jewish-Muslim relations and sent these two pieces about prayer and pilgrimage in the two related religions.
Jewish Muslim Relations â Shared Rituals – Prayer
 âPrayer is God’s backstage pass into a personal audience with Himâ.   Tony Evans
 Judaism and Islam has a complex relationship over the centuries. On the one hand, there is mutual acceptance of basic tenet of monotheism and soundness of divinely inspired ethical standards to guide a believerâs life by both religions. On the other hand, Judaismâs critique of Islam as not an authentic divine message and Islamâs assertion that original message of Judaism was authentic but was later distorted or corrupted by the Rabbis therefore it is superseded by Islam.Â
