KKIC conducts assembly
As part of Wisdom Global Mission,
Kuwait Kerala Islahi Centre conducted peace assembly at Abbasiya
community hall. The foundation of
the Islamic faith is belief in the
Oneness and Uniqueness of
Almighty God. Prophet Mohammed
(PBUH) created no religion but he
emphasized earlier Scriptures and
prophets (peace be upon them). He
emphasized the importance of worshipping Allah, who is the creator of
all things and ever existing. Islam
does not promote extremism or terrorism, it is the religion of love and
peace; renowned scholar and vibrant
speaker in Kerala Mujahid Balussery
said. Master in comparative religions, he made several speeches in
temples and churches premises giving importance of Oneness of God.
Holy Quran is the last testament
revealed by Almighty Allah which
emphatically says about ‘thouheed’
which is the basic of Islam.
The existence of the One True,
Unique, Supreme, Almighty God, is
the only logical concept of God. No
son (or offspring) did Allah beget, nor
is there any god along with Him.
From the Islamic standpoint, believing in the Oneness of God means to
realise that all prayers and acts of
worship should be exclusively to
God. None has the right to be
invoked, supplicated, sworn upon or
prayed to but God alone. Nothing
else is worthy of worship: not statues, crosses, tombs, the sun, the
moon, stars, temples, animals,
Prophets, Messengers, saints,
priests or religious scholars. All of
these things are created and limited,
hence imperfect - they are not worthy
of worship in Islam, whereas Allah is
perfect.
There is no middle man in Islam;
everyone has uninterrupted and
direct access to God. It required to
maintain a direct relationship with
God.
The program was inaugurated by
Sheikh Moajeb Al Dossary. Wisdom
global mission coordinator CM Sabir
Navas was the moderator. Pastor
Joy Thomas, Sharon Fellowship
church Kuwait and KV Sugunan,
Vice president Sarathi participated in
discussion representing Christian
and Hindu religions.
Through the Snehasamgam,
Wisdom global mission intends to
aware all people the aims and objectives of Islam; it is religion of love and
peace leads to eternal salvation; it
should not be misunderstood by anybody as the world witness some brutal activities which have been masterminded by the enemies of Islam.
Several people from all walks of life
irrespective of religions participated
in the Loving Assembly. Mujahid
Balussery answered some questions
raised by the audience.
PN Abdullatheef Madani chaired
the function and TP Abdul Azeez welcomed the gathering; Sakeer
Koyilandi proposed vote of thanks.
