The Koran and the Bible are the most dominant books of coded socio-moral instruction in Uganda. These books teach us that life and death are two sides of the same coin. Christianity is even philosophical: For in death, there is life; for without His death, there would be no Christian life.
The Koran is more direct: For Allah giveth, Allah takes away. Allah is great. These lines may be viewed as banal platitudes, but when a family loses three people in three weeks, the only refuge from devastating grief lies in the old truths about life well captured in the Bible and the Koran.
