Speakers at a conference on Friday said the narratives of extremism, hate and terrorism can’t be defeated nor can peace and stability be promoted without adhering to the teachings of Holy Prophet (PBUH) which are a complete guidance as well as a source of inspiration for every Muslim irrespective of his age, creed or geographical background.
The Paigham-e-Pakistan Conference was held at Markaz Ahle Sunnat, Jamia Sofia, Planadri, Azad Jammu and Kashmir. The event was organized by MLA AJK and Sajjada Nasheen of Dargah Basahan Sharif Pir Syed Ali Raza Bukhari.
A number of ulema, religious scholars and intellectuals also participated in the conference.
Addressing the event, Pir Syed Ali Raza Bukhari underlined the role the mosques, prayer leaders and religious scholars can play in inculcating the spirit of peaceful coexistence, tolerance and interfaith as well as inter-sect harmony among different segments of the society.
He said Islamic culture is based on Holy Quran, and emphasized the need to promote Quranic teachings to build a peaceful society.
The Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) in his last sermon preached the lesson of basic human rights, he said, and called for reviewing the curricula to include human rights, which will help counter the trends of violence, extremism and hatred in the soc-
iety.
