Interfaith Harmony Need Of Hour To Foil Nefarious Designs Of Enemies: Noor Ul Haq Qadri
Umer Jamshaid Published January 03, 2019 | 12:25 AM
Minister for Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony Sahibzada Noor ul Haq Qadri Wednesday said interfaith harmony was need of the hour to foil nefarious designs of the enemies of Pakistan.
Addressing an Inter-Faith Harmony Conference here at Eidgah Sharif, the minister said the Holy Prophet (PBUH) brought revolutionary changes in the lives of people.
He said Muslims should re-establish the nexus of islam and peace for regaining glory and identity as the Holy Prophet (SAW) gave humanity the road map for success in the world and the life hereafter.
He called for concerted efforts to promote interfaith harmony in Pakistan and termed such measures imperative to protect the basic rights of each and every citizen of the country.
Qadri also praised and highlighted the contributions made by minority communities. The religious minorities living in the country were entitled to all the fundamental rights and complete freedom to practice their faiths at par with Muslims, in accordance with the guiding principles of the country's founding fathers, he added.
He said the Holy Prophet (SAW) was very kind to non Muslims. A delegation of Christians came from Najran to meet the Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) who ordered the stay of the delegation in Masjid-e-Nabvi, he added.
The minister also apprised the audience as how the Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) established an Islamic state and signed Misaq-e-Madinah (Madina Charter) that had been remembered as the first written constitution binding the state and citizens to a code of conduct.
Sahibzada Noor-ul-Haq Qadri said the conference was organized aimed at promoting religious harmony, tolerance, brotherhood and equality, respect for humanity, non-violence, unity, reconciliation and culture of dialogue and renew our affiliation with the Holy Prophet (SAW).
He said the Holy Prophet (PBUH) changed the lives of not only individuals but the whole society. Islam condemns terrorism of every kind, he added.
He urged the Muslims to ensure bringing mercy in their lives as this was panacea to all. The members of minorities including Hindu, Sikh, Christian and others were as patriotic Pakistani as anyone else. All the Pakistanis should stand united and make concerted efforts for the peace, progress and development of the country. We should forgive all and work for bringing ease and comfort in the lives of others including minority members, he added.
The conference was attended by Pir Naqib ur Rehman, Pir Hassan Hasib ur Rehman, MNAs, Dr. Ramesh Kumar and Sheikh Rashid Shafiq, Moulana Tahir Ashrafi, Moulana Abdul Khabeer Azad, Dr. Sohaib from Pakistan Awami Tahreek, Bishap Sarfraz Peter, Paster Pervaiz Sohail, Sardar Mahindar Singh Arora, Religious scholars, seminary students and others.
