How do world religions respond to refugees?
Westkin Associates is managed by a diverse team of legal experts. We value all religious beliefs, for they impart with them a noble truth. These are our favourite religious quotes supporting refugees;
Islam
“Whoever grants respite to someone in difficulty or relieves him, Allah will shade him on the Day of Resurrection when there is no shade but his”. - Sunan al-Tirmidhī 1306
Hinduism
“The world is a family
One is a relative, the other stranger,
say the small minded.
The entire world is a family” - Maha Upanishad 6.71–75
Judaism
“And a stranger shalt thou not oppress; for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.” - Exodus 23:9
Christianity
“I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.” Matthew(25:35)
