ISLAMABAD, Jan 11 (APP): Caretaker Minister for Religious Affairs, Zakat and Ushr Khawaja Attaullah Khan Taunsa Sharif said it is sacred duty of every individual in the Islamic society to work for restoration of peace and harmony in the society.
In his message on the commencement of Muharram-ul-Haram here, he said it is duty of the Muslims to protect the lives, property and honour of his fellow citizens and root out the nefarious designs of anti-social elements.
“It is an irrefutable fact that Islam fully guarantees peace and security. Establishment and restoration of peace, tolerance, unity and brotherhood are the hallmarks of this divine and universal religion of Islam,” he said.
According to Islam, murder of an innocent individual tantamount to the murder of an entire humanity. Therefore, it is the sacred duty of every individual in the Islamic society to work for the restoration of peace and order in our society, he said.
The Minister said that Muharram-ul-Haram, month of peace and tranquility demands from the faithful to promote such values of life.
He urged people from all schools of thought to pursue and follow peace, brotherhood, accommodation and tolerance which are the golden principles of Islam.
He said every individual should have the right to perform and profess all the religious rituals according to his or their own traditions and as such no body should be harassed on personal grounds or without any reason.
He added this is the right path based on the teachings of Islam and Sunnah which was invariably followed and loved by the companions of Holy Prophet (PBUH), Ahle Bait, martyrs of Karballa and all elders of the Muslim Ummah.
