The participants of the meeting also expressed strong resentment over the growing wave of Islamophobia at the global level wherein Islam, Muslims and Qur’an are being deliberately targeted.
They made it clear that Islam is not only a religion which preaches humanity above all , but it’s history is witness that it always advocates peace on the globe, and considers the whole of humanity as a single entity.
“As such, there is a dire need for religious scholars and youth to spread this message of Islam and fulfil their responsibilities in view of the Uswa-e-Rasool (SAW),” they remarked.
The meeting also deliberated upon the serious challenges faced especially by the youth who are being pushed to mental agony and other miseries due to the prevailing situation.
It was stressed that under such grave circumstances people , especially youth must fight with conviction the present challenges by adopting Uswa-e-Rasool (SAW) and forging unity among their ranks and file
At the end of the meeting Moulana Rehmatullah Mir Sahib presented a resolution which was passed unanimously.
