Moses? David? Jesus?

Lind Say and I was discussing about religions over lunner (lunch + dinner). We were talking about Jesus, Qoran, ladidadida you know what Im talking about. Then, she asked me Muslims views of Jesus and all. I know deep down that I was in no position to talk about religion if I do not have ample knowledge to support it. I somehow thought I have oversimplified it when I told her that Jews, Christians and Muslims came from the same root. That the bible for Muslims is al-Quran sent from Allah through Muhammad pbuh. That the Bible is through Jesus. And I mistakenly said that Torrah is David's.

I came home and told Syal about our conversation and she said "Mira! It's not David's, it's Moses'!". I was horrified to have made such a horrendous mistake! I realized that night that if you do not have the knowledge, how can you talk about things you do not know, apart from making you a foolish, self-righteous person?

I opened the Quran translation at random that night, and randomly read it. Guess which verse I came to? I have to emphasize it again and again, I opened it at random.

al-Baqarah (2:44)

Enjoin you al-Birr (piety and righteousness and every act of obedience to Allah) on the people and you forget (to practise) it yourselves, while you recites the Scripture (Torrah)! Have you no sense?

In your face, Azmira. In your face.
