While Muhammad was married to Khadijah, he took no other wives because of his love for her. She was equally devoted to him. When he received his first revelations, she played an important role in convincing him that he was becoming a prophet. She even used her wealth to help promote Islam, to the point of being persecuted for her support of her husband.

Khadijah was the mother of Fatima (born in AD 605), who was the mother of Hussein and Hassan through Ali. The dates of Khadijah’s birth and death are not clear but it is probable that she was born in AD 555 and she probably died in AD 619. It is believed by some that her death partly motivated Mohammed to move to Medina. She was considered one of four perfect women.

Interesting Note: It is worth noting that according to the late ex Jesuit Priest Dr Alberto Reviera, Khalidjah was a deep plant from the Vatican used to mould and shape Isalm through helping to interpret the demonic revelations of Mohammed from the caves (he first said he knew not whether the visions were demonic or divine, she convinced him of the later). Under vatican control she also helped finance Islam in it’s early days and ensured that their version of scriptures maintained a respect for Mary and Jesus while at the same times promoting anti Jewish sentiment. All of this was the Vatican’s attempt to destroy the Jews and move the Vatican to Jerusalem instead of Rome (because of St Peters grave etc)… of course this backfired when Islam, empowered by demonic forces swept across the Sinai Peninsula and took over the entire arab world, and eventually North Afica, much of Asia and parts of europe.

This has of course all been covered up and denied but it is common knowledge that she helped interpret the visions (Mohammed was illiterate) and financed the movement.

Prayer Starters:

• Around the world literally hundreds of thousands, even possibly well over a million, Muslim women are named Khadijah. Many of them know very little about the wife of Mohammed or her positive example in many aspects of life.
• Pray for the living Khadijahs that they will discover the Messiah through friends, radio, literature, television and other media.
• Pray for those among your acquaintances, or who live in your area, that they may discover and apply the traits of a virtuous wife described in Proverbs 31 and come to know the purity which is from the Messiah.

In Arab culture, conspiracy lies at the heart of everyday life. At home women conspire with amulets and potions to manipulate their men. Men threaten to take a second wife in order to get their way. One sibling conspires against his / her siblings for parental attention. Officials conspire with a manipulated news media. For many Arabs this is part of daily reality.

Being aware of the scheming in their own circles, sometimes they will react by blaming others for their difficulties. Like all people’s around the world, Arab Muslims need the one who delivers from the ultimate schemer ( John 14:6 and 10:10-11).

Prayer Starters

• Pray for profound healing where people have experienced injustice and exploitation (Isaiah 61:1-3).
• Pray that the increasingly more numerous communities of believers in the Arab world would become havens of rest, healing, love, truth and honesty in the scheming world of manipulation and darkness.
• Pray that there would be significant casting down of the numerous exaggerated lies and half truths which have become reality for many Arab Muslims (John. 8:31-32, 2 Cor 10:4-5).

Al Basrah, (also called Basorah) is the capital of Basra Province in Iraq with an estimated population of about 3.8 million. Basrah is a significant port. It is estimated that at least 90% of the city is built on oil fields. The gas and petrol fumes are part of the daily life of Basrah’s residents. About 20% of the population are Sunni Muslim but the vast majority are Shiites. A very small number are believers.

Prayer Starters:

• Pray that God would raise up officials and community leaders who seek the well being of their people more than their own prosperity and self indulgence.
• Pray especially for leaders to have inspiration, wisdom and courage to take the urgent steps necessary to solve the many health, garbage collection and sewage problems. The people of the city are suffering greatly.
• Pray for breakthroughs in the area of education and jobs.  Some schools are very overcrowded and lack basic facilities like toilets.
• Many people live in fatalism and can see no future. Pray that many of Basrah’s Muslims would encounter the Messiah, the giver of hope, through television, radio and personal witness.

Today, Friday, Muslims worldwide will be preparing themselves for Friday prayer. Practising Muslims do ritual washings in order to be pure for prayer. Ritual cleansing is very important to Muslims, as well as the specific times of praying. This differs significantly from Christian teaching about prayer. In Islam it is impossible to pray correctly without the ritual cleansing with water, or in the absence of water, with sand.

Islamic instruction about prayer is filled with long passages on exactly how to go about the cleansing process. None of the steps can be sidestepped or done in an improper way otherwise Islamic prayer loses its merit and validity. Unfortunately, no one can be saved or sanctified by ritual cleansing.

Prayer Starters:

• While some aspects of the ritual washing may be helpful as a reminder about how sinful we are as human beings, ultimately the ritual cleansing does not lead Muslims to true righteousness or holiness.
• Pray for Muslims to discover the depths of sin and God’s holiness so that they may forever be freed of the idea that water can ever make them fit to meet God. Pray this for people that you may know, pray for Muslims in your city and elsewhere (Heb 8:9-12).
• Pray for the Muslims who will be praying at the Jama Masjid in Delhi, India. There are possibly 1.5 million Muslims in The Delhi/New Delhi urban area (11%). Followers of the Messiah are less than one percent. Pray for believers to seize opportunities to proclaim the Gospel.

In Norway some estimate the Muslim population at around 150,000 people out of a total population of 4.8 million. The first mosque was built in 1974. More than 80,000 Muslims are registered members of almost 100 Muslim congregations. Today, Norway appears, as the rest of Europe, as a multi-cultural society.

The vast majority of Norwegians are members of the Lutheran Church (over 80%) but relatively few are active members and many have beliefs which actually do not reflect Biblical faith. According to one poll, 32% of Norwegians indicated that they “believe there is a god / God”, whereas 47% answered that they “believe there is some sort of spirit or life force” and 17% that they “do not believe there is any sort of spirit, god, or life force”. Some churches have been ministering to Muslim communities for many years.

Prayer Starters:

• Pray for all the Christian individuals and churches reaching out to Muslims. For boldness and revelation of His will.
• Pray for all Muslim immigrants, that they will meet believers wherever they settle, and that these neighbours will show them Jesus. That Jesus will be their comfort and help in times of need.
• Pray that Jesus will be revealed in Norwegian society, in media and through the churches and believers.
