Modern Islamic Studies Centre, Islamabad, organised a 'Peace Prayer Day', on Friday as part of World Interfaith Harmony Week (WIHW) 2016 celebrations to create understanding between different faiths and religions. The celebrations were part of a series of conferences and seminars in different parts of the country including Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Lahore, Bahawalnagar, Cholistan, Swat, Besham, which were attended by a large number of people from different faiths and religions. UC 21 (Sohan) Chairman Malik Amir Hussain was the chief guest on the occasion.
Addressing the audience, MISC President Dr Allama AGR Chishti, said that the interfaith harmony is not a new phenomenon, as it was the path followed by Sufi saints of Indo-Pak subcontinent, as through this system they attracted attention of non-Muslims therefore it is responsibility of every Muslim to join this cause for betterment of Muslim Ummah," he added. Dr Chishti was of the view that his recent visits to Bahawalnagar, Cholistan, and Lahore, and particularly to Swat and its adjoining areas was of great importance, as these areas had been plagued by terrorism in past. The elders of the Tableeghi Jamaat as well as tribal elders appreciated MISC's gesture for visiting the centre and apprising them of interfaith harmony.-PR
