"[Latter-day Saints] and Muslims share similar high standards of decency, temperance, and morality. We have so much in common. As societal morality and behavior decline in an increasingly permissive world, the [LDS] Church and many within Islam increasingly share natural affinities." -President Boyd K. Packer
MLUV recognizes that Latter-day Saints and Muslims share many values and high standards which, when we set aside doctrinal differences, we are able to work together to strengthen families, encourage moral living, and protect religious freedoms of all fellow Americans.
OUR MISSION
- We seek to unite Mormons and Muslims for the annual day of mutual fasting. There is one day a year when the Muslim month of fasting (Ramadan) and the Mormon day of monthly fasting (Fast-Sunday) coincide. In 2008, that day is Sunday, September 7th, 2008.
- We encourage Muslims to invite their Mormon neighbors and for Mormons to invite their Muslim neighbors to join each other in service projects.
- We strive to bring both communities together in order to recognize the values that unite us, such as:
- Importance of family
- Prayer & Fasting
- Devotion to Scriptures
- Obedience to commandments
- Similarities in morality and health codes
- We encourage open dialogue to help correct misinformation which is often the result of media depiction and stereotypes which we each face. It is by dialogue and truly listening to one another we can break down walls and build bridges of understanding.
