Unity & Brotherhood Seminar

As part of the ongoing campaign to raise awareness about unity and brotherhood amongst muslims and between muslims & non-muslims, a successful public event was held on Tuesday 14th August in Bolton, England. The day of the event coincided with celebrations commemorating the creation of Pakistan (East & West), a muslim homeland within the Indian sub-continent. The event focussed on the lifetime, poetry and teachings of the infamous Dr Muhammad 'Allama' Iqbal, and how they inspired millions around the globe towards building a concept of unity and brotherhood, based around the core universal teachings of Islam.

Various internationally renowned guests and speakers were in attendance to make their intellectual contributions and deep insights into the concept of unity and brotherhood, highlighting individual and collective responsibilities, and they included:-

• Sheikh Qamar Uzzamaan Azmi, Jamia Masjid, Manchester, UK
• Allama Arshad Misbahi, Victoria Park Masjid, Manchester, UK
• Br Ifthikar Ahmed, Thinkers Forum
• Sheikh Mustafa Ashrafi, Aalimi Ittehaad Forum
• Sheikh Adnan Sohail, MWF UK

They all emphasised the unitary nature of Allama Iqbals poetry, the various development phases he passed through his life, both intellectually, politically and spiritually. How he emphasised the removal of tribal, ethinic and racial barriers between the people, and how their removal would allow communities to excel and come together on a common basis of shared Islamic values. Consequently, by Muslims themselves becoming moral role models they would be able to win the hearts of mankind generally through their practical actions.

Thinkers Forum along with its willing partners endeavours to continue the practice of building bridges between the people and unifying hearts and minds.
