Over 100,000 Muslims on Sunday took an oath against terrorism and to spread the message that Islam is a religion of peace and has always promoted harmony.
The ceremony,organised by the Jamiat-e-Ulema-e-Hind, was held at the Ramlila ground, and came after a two-day conference attended by clerics of Jamiat-e-Ulemas in the Maldives, Britain, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Myanmar at Deoband in Uttar Pradesh’s Saharanpur district, where it was decided to set up a forum to promote world peace.
“The forum will help promote peace and make the entire world understand that the motive of Islam is to promote peace and harmony. Islam has always wanted that peace prevails in the world,” Jamiat-e-Ulema general secretary Maulana Arshad Madani said.
Only better understanding and a proper universal brotherhood will bridge the rift among people and let the world live in peace, he added.
“Freedom is the basic human right of every person in the world and by spreading terrorism, a lot of organisations have just tried to sabotage tranquility prevailing in the world,” said Maulana Madani.
