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.

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.
