Memories of Akbar Hashemi - September 9, 2000 - Feasibility Study for a Common Qibla of Religions

Feasibility Study for a Common Qibla of Religions

Meeting with Reza and Kazem Marashi and a report on the Andisheh va Ghalam Educational Complex and Azad University of Rafsanjan.

Full Text of the Daily Note:

I was at home, studying and resting. I read an article regarding the alignment of the qibla for the three religions: Islam, Christianity, and Judaism, at a point on the large island of Greenland, where it is always covered in snow and ice. This is because 90% of the island is perpetually covered in snow and ice. The author suggested that a temple be built near that point so that the followers of the three major religions could worship in the same direction, symbolizing peaceful coexistence.

In the afternoon, Mr. Reza Marashi, the president of Azad Islamic University of Rafsanjan, and Kazem Marashi, the president of the Andisheh va Ghalam Educational Complex in Tehran, came and each provided a report on their work status. Azad Islamic University of Rafsanjan admits approximately 400 students annually. The price of oil continues to rise, having surpassed $35, and America is in a predicament.
