While reading the message of President J&K Anjuman Sharie Shian Aga Syed Hassan Mosavi Al-Safavi (who is under continuous house arrest since Aug 4th 2019) Anjuman Sharie Shian’s Aga Syed Mujtaba Abbas quoting Aga Hassan said I believe that the essence of belief in God and
service to the people of God can be found in all Divine religions. This Conference, teaches us how to sit together for a dialogue according to the tenets of the Holy Quran and the way of life and conduct of the Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) to make a safe and sound world free from
“sectarianism, extremism , war and bloodshed”. Interfaith dialogue is essential to avoid fanaticism which leads to confusion.The selfish evil forces with vested interest promote fanaticism to divide and to create communal disharmony to fulfil their selfish desires. But interfaith dialogue provides
space for people of different religions to come together and discuss about their religions, clarify the doubts and promote interreligious understanding and creates interreligious relations, which avoids frictions between religious and religious communities”.In joint resolution it was passed that Since Kashmir is a multi cultural and multi religious society dialogue is very essential for the unity and
well being of the Mouj Kashir. Plurality is a basic and fundamental fact of the Kashmiri society and everyone has to understand this pluralistic nature of Kashmir society. Every religion also has to be pluralistic in its own perspective and promote this pluralism among its adherents. Inter-faith dialogue has to contribute towards communal harmony and the welfare of the humanity.
Also Joint resolutions unanimously condemned the recent attacks on various religious places in Srinagar which includes Masjid Ali and Tomb in Botta Kadal, Mandir in Downtown, mausoleum in chhattabal where Scriptures of Holy Quran written by the Imam Raza(A.S) is housed and urged for unity among communities to thwart evil designs of vested interest and called for more such Interfaith dialogue across Kashmir to bridge the gaps and let the flower of Kashmir’s brotherhood, amity, affinity bloom.
