Pearl of Wisdom

Allah, Exalted be His praise, has made prayer the light of my eyes, and has made prayer as beloved to me as food is to a hungry man, and water to a thirsty man. The hungry man, however, is satiated when he eats, and the thirsty man is quenched when he drinks, but I can never be sated by my prayer.'

Prophet Muhammad al-Mustafa [sawa]

Makarim al-Akhlaq, v. 2, p. 366, 2661

Question : #110

Category: Interfaith Dialogue

Subject:	People of the book in today's society
Question:	When talking about 'people of the book', are the modern day Christians and Jews still equal as Ahle Kitab? Ie. Has their faith changed too much*
Answer:	Salaam alaykum I do not understand what is meant by being equal as ahl al-kitab. The Christians are considered to be closer to Islam than the Jews. But, both are still considered to be ahl al-kitab.
