If you want to know the religion of a man,
do not look at how much he prays and fasts,
rather look at how he treats people!!!
Imam
Ja'far al Sadiq (as)

it is not so much what I believe
nor what rituals I follow
nor what sacred text I read
it matters not what I wear
on a chain around my neck
or what kind of bumper sticker I put on my car
it doesn’t even matter which religion
I claim as mine
none of those things reveal
the God I truly follow
as much as whether I am kind to a hurting person
generous to one who is needy
accepting of one who is different
loving to one who is difficult
caring to one who needs healing
it matters how I treat people
for each person is
a child of God
and I am called
by the Sacred I would follow to
welcome
them
