Mawlid al-Nabi: A call to prayer

Muslims show the greatest respect to the Prophet Muhammad especially during the celebration of Mawlid al-Nabi. And that makes Mawlid a great time to talk about how important Jesus is to us, not just as a prophet, but as our Saviour. Starting a conversation can be tricky, but it’s as simple as asking ‘How will you be celebrating Mawlid?’

This month we’re sharing some ideas on how we can engage with, and pray for, our Muslim friends and colleagues.

Eid Mubarak

Did you manage to wish your Muslim friends ‘Eid Mubarak’ (blessed Eid) as they celebrated Eid ul-Adha last weekend? You may also know of people who are undertaking the Hajj at this time. These are both great occasions for sharing stories about your faith and the Biblical take on these topics.

Here are the key findings from the ComRes poll for the programme.

  • 40% OF PUBLIC IN FAVOUR OF TAKING MORE REFUGEES
     
  • Four in ten members of the public say that Britain should allow more refugees from countries such as Syria or Libya to come and live here
     
  • Although taking more refugees is the most popular single option (40%), there is a combined majority against increasing numbers
     
  • 31% say Britain should take fewer and an additional 26% say it should take about the same amount as it currently does
     
  • There has also been a large shift in attitudes towards allowing migrants coming to Britain via an EU quota system
