Rawalpindi-Promoting religious harmony and tolerance is need of the hour to stop the rising tide of Islamophobia around the world. Anti-Islamic forces are involved in conspiracies to achieve their nefarious aims. For the development and prosperity of the Muslim Ummah, hatred must be eradicated and unity, brotherhood, and tolerance must be adopted.
These views were expressed by Federal Minister for Religious Affairs Pir Noor-ul-Haq Qadri while addressing a seminar on the occasion of “World Tolerance Day” organised by Rabita-e-Alam-e-Islami Pakistan on Thursday.
Pir Noor-ul-Haq Qadri said that under the mission of religious harmony and tolerance started by the Saudi government a few years ago, the message of peace and security has been conveyed to the whole world. He said that Islam has provided protection to minorities. He said that our government wants to create a Pakistan in which there is no discrimination on the basis of religion.
Saudi Ambassador Nawaf bin Saeed Al-Maliki said that Saudi King Mohammed bin Suleiman is leading the mission of establishing peace in the world. Regional Director Rabta-e-Alam-e-Islami Saad Masood Al-Harsi said that Rabita-e-Alam Islami is continuing its mission of welfare of humanity and religious harmony. The world is suffering from Islamophobia, Islam is the messenger of peace, and abuse is not taught. Islam is a religion of complete security.
The truth of religious extremism is harming the Muslim Ummah. Minorities also have the right to live according to their beliefs by which they can’t be deprived of. Hafiz Tahir Mahmood Ashrafi said that Khadim Al-Harmain Al-Sharifan has brought everyone together to promote peace in the world.
