Ayoub mzee with Host the Deputy Mayor of London Richard BarnesThe purpose of this interfaith dialogue is to try to identify the commonalities between various faiths
Are there profound differences in how various faiths conceive of God ?
Can different faiths all be conveniently collapsed into a basic common language?
This idea is poignantly illustrated in a Talmudic story (Tractate Rosh Hashanah 19a.): It once happened that the Roman authorities forbade the Jewish people from studying Torah, from circumcising their sons and from observing the Sabbath. What did Rabbi Yehudah ben Shamuah and his colleagues do? They went to take advice from a well-connected Roman noblewoman, who advised them to take to the streets and to protest as follows: “For the sake of Heaven are we not your brethren? Are we not all children of the same father? Are we not all children of the same mother? Why are we singled out from among all other nations for such harsh punishment?”
