Muslim Governor Urges People to Turn to Mary
In the middle of the emergency caused by the novel coronavirus pandemic, a Muslim Saudi governor has called on people to turn to Mary to find strength, courage and a path to overcome the Covid-19 outbreak. He said, If we look at the Virgin Mary and her son, Jesus, in the Qurʼān, "we'll find one particular story that tells of perseverance" in the quest for "a road map" to "combat struggles and pandemics."
The Governor noted, "The story of Mariam (Mary), tells the story of every true victor. The moral of her story is clear; it's through these directives [from God] that success against all struggles and pandemics can be achieved." He said, only "through Mariam the Virgin, will we find the lessons of survival." Currently, Saudi Arabia has the highest number of confirmed Covid-19 cases among Arab Gulf nations.
Mike's Comment: Most people know the importance of Mary to Catholics and how they believe she is the cause of their salvation and how the deliverer of their souls from death. But not many know of her prominence among Muslims. She is the most revered woman of the Muslim faith. Her name is mentioned more often (34 times) in the Quran than in the Bible. Muslims are now seeking messages from Apparitions of Mary at Fatima. We can only wonder if these apparitions are some of the lying signs and wonders Satan will use to unite Catholicism with Islam and build his one-world religion. The messages declare that "Mary" is coming for all her children, including Muslims, Catholics and Protestants, and that people of all religions can be saved apart from Jesus as long as they are good.
