'Call for secularism for peace, order in society' Staff Correspondent
Politicians, academics, professionals and development activists on
Saturday stressed the need for secularism to ensure peace and order in
society. Each of the citizens should enjoy equal rights and there should
not be any relation between religion and the state machinery, they said.
They were addressing an open session on the second day of the three-day
annual convention of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat, Bangladesh at its
headquarters at Bakhshibazar in Dhaka. They called for spreading the
teachings of Islam and Prophet Muhammad for peace, harmony and
prosperity. The Communist Party general secretary Mujahidul Islam Selim,
Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal executive president Mainuddin Khan Badal, Workers
Party politburo member Haider Akbar Khan Rono, Awami League organising
secretary Sultan Mohammad Mansur, Awami League health affairs secretary
Mostafa Jalal Mohiuddin, AAMS Arefin Siddique, Parvin Hasan, Sharif A
Baki, Rozanin Costa, and Father Tim also addressed the session, said a
release.

"A religion which does not inculcate universal compassion is no religion
at all. Similarly, a human being without the faculty of compassion is no
human at all. Our God has never discriminated between one people and
another. This is illustrated by the fact that all the potentials and
capabilities which have been granted to the Aryans have also been granted
to the races inhabiting Arabia, Persia, Syria, China, Japan, Europe and
America. The earth created by God provides a common floor for all people
alike, and His sun and moon and many stars are a source of radiance and
provide many other benefits to all alike. Likewise, all peoples benefit
from the elements created by Him, such as air, water, fire and earth, and
similarly from other products created by Him like grain, fruit, and
healing agents, etc. These attributes of God teach us the lesson that we,
too, should behave magnanimously and kindly towards our fellow human
beings and should not be petty of heart and illiberal."
(Paighaam-e-Sulh "A Message of Peace", Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, Promised
Messiah and Imam Mahdi, the holy founder of Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at )
