Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
(Matthew 5:9)
Ka koa te hunga hohou rongo;
ka huaina hoki rātou he tamariki nā te Atua.
(Matiu 5:9)
O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted.
[Surah Al-Hujurat Verse 13]
Koutou e whakapono ana! Parea e koutou nuinga o ngā toera (whakaaro whakapae); ina hoki he hara ētahi o ngā whakaaro whakapae. Waihoki, kaua e tūtei ki tētahi, kaua e ngau tuarā ētahi ki ētahi atu. Ka hiahia rānei tētahi o koutou kia kai i te kikokiko o tōna tuakana, teina kua mate atu? Ka koto (loath) rā hoki koutou ki tēnei. Kia wehi ki a Allah. Tūturu, he nui te tahuri mai a Allah ki te rīpenetā, he auau hoki Tōna tohu tangata. [Upoko 49]
Who we are
The Council of Christians and Muslims (CCM) is an Auckland-based charitable society. The CCM had its origins in 1996, and was formed by November in time to hold its first public meeting a few months later in 1997. We create opportunities for Christians and Muslims to meet kanohi ki te kanohi and learn from one another. In a diverse Aotearoa New Zealand, our kaupapa is to break down barriers, contribute to a fair and peaceful community, and build relationships shaped by manaakitanga (care, hospitality, and respect).
