Spotkanie Kościoła katolickiego z islamem. Podobieństwa, różnice, kontrowersje
Piwko, Aldona Maria (Wydawnictwo Naukowe Wyższego Instytutu Teologicznego w Częstochowie, 2014)
Catholic Church in the face of Islam – this article take three main reasons about church in the face of islam: the similarity of both religion, prophet Muhammad and dialogue with Islam. The similarity are: Abraham and his obedience, belief in the same One God and religious practices: prayer, fast, alms. For a Muslim a confession of faith is not just emphasizing his belonging to believing communities. It also contains two fundamental religious truths: the essence of God and the prophetic mission of Muhammad. The Muslim credo is the source of the principles of faith, meaning dogmas and responsibilities of the believers, which act as visible symbol of community membership. Muhammad is a controversial personality and hence-continuously fascinating. Prophet was God’s humble servant and a merciless warrior at the same time. The issue of taking up the dialogue with worshippers of other religions falls onto Catholics, as expressed in the teachings of the Catholic Church, especially in the II Vatican Sobor documents, and the teachings of recent popes, starting with John XXIII, with the emphasis on John Paul II’s achievements in this field. The Muslims’ duty is to conduct internal dialogue, as it is the only way world peace can be achieved.
