Abu Halifa, Jul 31: The Fahaheel and Abu-Halifa units of Indian Muslim Association – Kuwait in cooperation with Islam Presentation Committee organised an interfaith iftar party at Sheikh Bader Ahmed Sabah hall, Abu Halifa.

Delivering a lecture on ‘Know your creator’, NRI activist Sharafuddin Soofi, said that belief in the God will have major implication in every aspect of every individual’s life and hence it should be an intelligent, well thought of choice rather than just a blind adherence of traditions. Quoting verses from various religious scriptures, he emphasised that all major religions fundamentally teach monotheism and similar attributes of God.

He further said that our own body which is very complex in nature with inherent temperature balancing system, digestive system, immunity against diseases proves that we have a creator and purpose of life.  God has provided us with intelligence and freedom of choice to make better choices for our life including faith in God.

He said, “God conscious person should be compassionate towards fellow human beings, animals and environment. God will not forgive any atrocities committed towards fellow human beings unless the fellow human forgives him.”  He also answered questions from the audiences on various aspects related to fasting and Islam.

Nisar Ahmed, a research analyst from Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research held a presentation on the impact of fasting on human life. He mentioned about the medical and spiritual benefits of fasting.

Jitendra Panchal, Balram Naidu, Bora Dwaipayan and T Bala, who were the guests of honor representing various major associations in Kuwait also addressed the audiences and appreciated the efforts of IMA in bringing together people from different faith.

Large number of people from various faiths and representatives of various associations attended the gathering. The programme was convened by Parvez Hanif. Vote of thanks was proposed by Mansur Abbas. The programme started with the recitation of the verses from the holy Quran by Master Omar Abdullah and concluded with a buffet dinner.
