Pope Benedict on Islam

Bismillah:

Peace.....


Muslimah, I worship the way Christ ascribed his followers to worship:


(Matthew 6:1) Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.



(Matthew 6:2) Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.



(Matthew 6:3) But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:



(Matthew 6:4) That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.



(Matthew 6:5) And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.



(Matthew 6:6) But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.



(Matthew 6:7) But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.



(Matthew 6:8) Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.



(Matthew 6:9) <b>After this manner therefore pray ye:</b> Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.



(Matthew 6:10) Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.



(Matthew 6:11) Give us this day our daily bread.



(Matthew 6:12) And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.



(Matthew 6:13) And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.



(Matthew 6:16) Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.



(Matthew 6:17) But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;



(Matthew 6:18) That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.



I hope this answers your question.


Shamms
