The Verdict Is In: Judge Kavanaugh is Unfit for Supreme Court

Last updated on: October 1, 2018 at 7:18 am By Ejaz Naqvi, MD

While the FBI investigates the validity of Dr. Christine Blaisey Ford’s allegation of sexual assault against Brett Kavanaugh, I have come to the conclusion regardless of FBI’s eventual findings: He is unfit as a Supreme Court judge. That much was clear after his performance at the Senate’s Judiciary Committee on Thursday. Whether he sexually assaulted Dr. Ford when they were both in high school or not, that’s up to FBI investigators to find out. The investigation should continue to find... Read more

Respecting and Serving the Parents- A Lost Tradition?

Last updated on: September 28, 2018 at 7:03 am By Ejaz Naqvi, MD

If the world’s religions, whether monotheistic, eastern or otherwise, agree on one thing, it is respecting and serving the parents. Sadly in today’s fast-paced world, we see an erosion of the age-old tradition of honoring the parents. Here are 20 reasons (besides a million other) why we should serve our parents. Over the last 25 years or so, there has been a rapid growth of elder care homes and assisted living homes, as the children are unable and/or willing to... Read more

Shining Example of Jewish- Muslim Co-Existence At an Indian Synagogue

Last updated on: September 25, 2018 at 7:55 am By Ejaz Naqvi, MD

Earlier this month, I wrote about forgiveness and how an American mosque is walking the walk. I want to now share this heart-warming video that can serve as an example of Jewish-Muslim harmony and co-existence at a synagogue in India. These Jews and Muslims are leading by example and prove that the Jews-Muslims peace is not just a pipe dream, giving hope to rest of us striving for interfaith peace and harmony. The video titled, “The Muslim gatekeepers of the... Read more

Salat, or Daily Prayers Were Not Ordained for Muslims Only

Last updated on: September 22, 2018 at 10:44 pm By Ejaz Naqvi, MD

A common myth is that the Salat was ordained for the followers of Prophet Muhammad only. A review of Abrahamic Scriptures and other religious literature would reveal that it predates Prophet Muhammad’s time and was also ordained for Jews and Christians. Salat is the ritual prayer that is obligatory for all Muslims. It is more than “the prayers” as might be perceived by the English translation. It follows a prescribed pattern and recitation of specific verses and supplications in a... Read more

Was Jesus a Catholic, a Protestant, Both or Neither?

Last updated on: September 18, 2018 at 6:21 pm By Ejaz Naqvi, MD

The world is increasing divided among various sects, each claiming to be the righteous one. The Christians identify themselves as Catholics, Protestants, Progressive or Liberal, and further are divided into various churches such as Episcopalians, Methodists, Lutherans, Eastern Orthodox and so on, each claiming to be the true followers of Jesus. Which then bags a similar question I asked of Muslims on my last post: Was Jesus a Catholic, a Protestant, both or neither? Muslims tend to identify themselves as... Read more

Was Prophet Muhammad a Shia, a Sunni, Neither or Both?

Last updated on: September 20, 2018 at 11:33 am By Ejaz Naqvi, MD

The Muslim world is increasing divided among various sects, each claiming to be the righteous one. Muslims tend to identify themselves as Shias and Sunnis and yet both claim to be the follower of Prophet Muhammad, which begs the question: Was he a Sunni, a Shia, neither or both? I will not go into an esoteric discussion of the origins of Sunnis and Shias here but would like to point out that the word Sunni generally refers to the ones... Read more

General Wesley Clark- America is Going to War with Seven Countries

Last updated on: September 13, 2018 at 6:54 am By Ejaz Naqvi, MD

This post does not have much to do with theology or religious matters. It does not highlight the similarities of the Abrahamic faiths either. I have been thinking about whether I should share this video on my blog and after pondering for months, I decided to share it as believe some of the common values we all share are fairness, justice and peace. What you see on this video, as disclosed by former U.S. General Wesley Clark, goes against all... Read more

Forgiveness- The Story of an American Mosque Walking the Walk

Last updated on: September 6, 2018 at 6:42 am By Ejaz Naqvi, MD

So we have all heard about the virtues of forgiveness as taught by Scriptures. But how many of us actually show the courage to forgive our enemies, or those who harm us? This is a heart-warming story of a young man’s bigotry turning into an act of kindness, and a small community coming together in response to the young man vandalizing the mosque in Fort Smith, Arkansas in October 2016. The story gives much meaning to the teachings of the... Read more

Holy Land- Should We Fight For, or Cherish it?

Last updated on: September 1, 2018 at 7:04 am By Ejaz Naqvi, MD

The Holy Land is the land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea and includes the current day state of Israel, Palestine and parts of Jordan and Syria. Jews, Christians and Muslims consider this holy for various reasons. Unfortunately the Holy Land is as much holy as it is controversial, and a subject of dispute and tension between Jews, Christians and Muslims. The Holy Land is holy because the Scriptures for the Jews, Christians and Muslims proclaimed it holy.... Read more

Sermon on the Mount By Jesus From a Muslim’s Perspective

Last updated on: August 28, 2018 at 8:33 pm By Ejaz Naqvi, MD

The Sermon on the Mount is a collection of sayings and teachings of Jesus Christ, centered on his moral teachings. It is found in chapters 5, 6 and 7 of the Gospel of Matthew. The Sermon on the Mount is the longest piece of teaching from Jesus in one place and is considered first of the five discourses in Matthew. It is one of the most quoted discourses by Jesus by the Christians. Devout Christians use the Sermon on the Mount to guide their... Read more
