"The Church regards with esteem also the Moslems. They adore the one God, living
and subsisting in Himself, merciful and all-powerful, the Creator of heaven and earth,
who has spoken to men; they take pains to submit wholeheartedly to even His inscrutable
decrees, just as Abraham, with whom the faith of Islam takes pleasure in linking itself,
submitted to God. Thou they do not acknowledge Jesus as God, they revere Him as
a prophet. They also honor Mary, His virgin Mother; at times they even call on her
with devotion. In addition, they await of judgment when God will render their deserts
to all those who have ben raised up from the dead. Finally, they value moral life
and worship God especially through prayer, almsgiving, and fasting."
