Equality is basic principle of Islam: Maulana Mahmood Madani
PG Diploma in Applied Islamics of Yenepoya University inaugurated
Mangaluru, August 09: Noted Islamic scholar, Jamiat-Ulema-I-Hind general secretary and former Rajya Sabha Member Maulana Mahmood Madani said that as the equality and humanity were the basic principles of Islam, the religion has the message of guiding the mankind.
Inaugurating the PG Diploma in Applied Islamics, introduced by the Yenepoya Deemed University at ‘Yendurance Zone’ on the college premises here on Thursday, he said that adaption of the principles of Islam would benefit the entire mankind. It has good messages to build the society. According to Islam, Zakat, one of the five tenets of Islam, would eradicate the economic imbalance in the society. The thought of the Yenepoya University in introducing the course in adapting Islamic principles in science, health science, social science and modern education and knowledge was commendable, he said.
Former union minister Dr K Rahman Khan said that many principles of Islam reflect the basic tenets of the fundamental rights of human beings envisaged in the Constitution. Islam has the norm to give a certain portion of the income to others compulsorily. The Constitution is also advocating equality. Islam has advocated the peace and harmony in the society. But there are several misconceptions on Islam because of misunderstanding of the principles and messages of Islam. The onus of educating the youth about the real tenets of Islam was on the elders of the community, Rahman said.
Presiding over the programme, Yenepoya University Chancellor Yenepoya Abdulla Kunhi said that it was a unique programme in the entire world. The modern, scientific and social developments would be studied in view of Islamic principles in the course. The university has the aim of developing a world-class Islamic Centre, he added.
