Islam does not have terrorism, but it has idealism: Swami Lakshmi Shankaracharya
Seerat symposium in Mangaluru
Mangaluru, November 28: “Islam does not have scope for terrorism. It has only idealism”, said Swami Lakshmi Shankaracharya of Kanpur.
He was speaking at Seerat symposium on ‘Reforms in society in the light of education of Prophet Muhammad’, organized as part of state-wide Seerat campaign on ‘Prophet Muhammad is the greatest guide of the mankind’, at town hall here on Wednesday.
Prophet Muhammad who had advocated the truth and non-violence had done nothing for himself. After giving a call to follow the path of Allah, he himself had followed on the same path braving all odds. He had participated in wars for peace. But that war was being misinterpreted as jihad, which is not fair, he said.
People should understand that just offering namaz would not take any person to heaven. Instead, good work was also a part of Islam, he said.
Jamaat-e-Islami Hind national secretary Moulana Muhammad Iqbal Mulla inaugurated the programme which was presided over by Seerat Campaign Reception Committee president Dr CP Habeeb-ur-Rehman.
Novelist K. Veerabhadrappa, Senior journalist BM Haneef, Shanti Publications chairman Muhammad Attarullah Sharief, Mangaluru university Kannada professor B. Shivaram Shetty spoke on the occasion.
Reception Committee office-bearers K.K Shahul Hameed, P.B Abdul Hameed, Hanief Golthamajalu, Yahya Tangal, KM Sharief, Y Muhammad Beary Edapadav were present. Muhammad Salman chanted qirat, Shanti Publications manager Mohmmed Kunhi welcomed, while Mohammed Thumbay proposed vote of thanks. Hussain Katipalla and Asif Iqbal compared the programme.
