2/16/18: Interfaith Conference on Moral Values in Hamtramck Library!
Interfaith Conference on Moral Values in Hamtramck Library!
Thank you to brother- Arif Huskic and members of CWA for your great efforts to arrange such an educational and unifying conference on Monday night.
Imams, Pastors, Rabbis, teachers and community leaders one after another addressed the audience and promoted the message of morality and unity. Imam Elahi really enjoyed the diversity and beauty of different colors and cultures. He was also honored to share few words with our interfaith friends!
He started with a famous Hadith from prophet Mohammad (pbuh), saying, " I was assigned to complete the journey of morality that began with my brothers in mission and prophethood before me".
The messengers of God all promoted moral values such as love, patience, compassion, modesty, respect, forgiveness, friendship, reconciliation, responsibility, humbleness and hospitality etc.
Mahatma Gandhi said it was not sword that won a place for Islam in the world but the dedication, faith and fearlessness of prophet Mohammad.
Michael Hart in his book "The 100 most influential people in history", put Mohammad number one!
All because of the moral manners of this
messenger of mercy, modesty, forgiveness and patience!
Imam Elahi ended with a Hadith from imam Zain Al-Abidin who summarized the message of all the prophets in three words: telling the truth, standing for justice, keeping our promise!
In the absence of these moral principles our world is in mess. Not morality but money talks.
Might has become right and the ends justify the means! This is dangerous and destructive!
For the societies to survive, morality is a must!
