Peace!
Badaliyya is a movement based
on the concept of BADAL (an Arabic word for "Substitution" or
"Ransom". The inspiration comes from the "understanding"
that interreligious relation, is primarily a movement of LOVE - a PASSIONATE
LOVE that moves one to offer his/her life that others may have life and life to
the full. It is a movement of self-expenditure... The model is Jesus Christ in
the cross who paid the price by being a RANSOM for us!
St. Francis of Assisi and
Blessed Charles de Foucault are few examples of Badal. The Badaliyya movement got the first impetus
through the initiatives and efforts of Fr. Louis Massignon, Mary Kahil and
their friends in the Academy specializing in Middle East Studies.
Beginning this June 28th,
2012, Thursday, we shall revive our monthly Badaliyya Session (every last Thursday of each month)
at the Conference Hall of the Institute for Autonomy and Governance (2nd
Floor of NDU Main Canteen) from 3: 30 pm to 5:00 pm.
Bring also your friends and
members of your community…
