Glory be to God - Father Son Holy Spirit - now & forever. Amen!
Beatified Mother Teresa of Calcutta, please pray for us.
May the peace of Christ be with you all!

SisterJennifer, my belief in the Communion of Saints is strong & permanent. Thanks for your concern, but I'm adamant in my convictions.
Quote:Nobody knows who is better or worse than another, living or dead, besides our creator. Only Allah knows who are the rightoeus among his servants. We cannot logically give elevated status to any individual based on something only our creator knows. We have to leave the hearts and souls to Allah to judge, this is not our right.
I totally agree with everything you've said in the above quote :) No one's playing the role of God. The Saints don't need us to do anything for them. Their Sainthood is a gift given to us from God Almighty. All they can grant us is their prayers. God performs the miracles. But enough about Catholicism...
Please allow me to take this opportunity to learn about Islam :confused_smile: I need your help, ladies...
Quote:Therefore, it is not going to benefit any person to invoke the dead to pray on ones behalf. The dead are in their graves waiting their judgement, but thanks to God you are still alive, and if you call on God, he will listen.
The dead are in their graves? Do you believe souls are immortal? Is Mohammad (PBUH) too lying in a grave waiting for Judgement Day? Where's the "Prophet Isa" according to Islam? I'm aware Muslims believe He didn't die.
My deepest gratitude to you, Sister! May Allah bless & welcome you with open arms in Heaven.

Salam Muslimah,
