Malegaon:
Belief in God and faith in life after death are keys to the world
peace, said renowned Islamic preacher Zaid Patel even as
hundreds in Malegaon - and thousands other in various parts of
India, prayed for world peace through 'Peace Meditation'.
"Once we have total faith in God and
belief in life after death, we will regard ourselves to be
accountable for whatever we do in our day-to-day life", Zaid Patel said while addressing a mammoth gathering in Malegaon.
The gathering was part of the World
Peace Festival organised by Tej Gyan Foundation. Tej Gyan Foundation, a Pune-based charitable trust, has
organised the programme -- "World Peace...Piece by Piece" to
champion the cause of peace.
As part of this movement, the foundation October 10 organised
the peace festivals in various parts of India to promote the
cause.
"We should understand that all human
beings are brothers and despite differences have the tendency to
co-exist. But lack of communication sometimes damages this
tendency and we who strive for peace are left into pieces", he
said.
Quoting from the Holy Quran and
stating that there is no compulsion in Islam and the God Himself
has given us right to whichever religion we intend to, Zaid said,
"At the same time, He has advised us all to think on the purpose
of our being into in this world. Once we think on this, we will
surrender to the will of the God and then will become role
models."
Taking the discussion even further,
Ms. Alka Nimbalkar - a serving officer in Govt. of Maharashtra,
said, "World peace is in the idea of mutual understanding and
respect to other's rights. To get this we should start from
bringing peace within…if a person is peaceful he will instrument a
peace in the world by expansion….then afterwards we should expand
the border….
Explained using examples… we need to
create chain of people…peaceful people..those who have already
found peace within…by creating chain of people we will bridge the
gaps in the world….the beautiful world…koshish karne wale ki kabhi
haar nahi hoti…the process is difficult but not impossible
“Go home and love your family”..
Mother Tersea said to one who ask the secret of the peace…
In vicharon se Malegaon badle, yeh
meri aasha
