Makatib, an organization devoted to religious awareness among the Shias in India, organized a three-day conference on the theme“Karbala- In defense of the oppressed and a movement towards peace”.
The event was held in collaboration with Jamia-tul-Mustafa Al-Aalamiya, New Delhi.
The event was held under the chairmanship of Maulana Syed Safi Haider Zaidi, Secretary Tazeem-Ul-Makatib.
The event started with the recitation of the Holy Quran and was followed by lectures from community members belonging to different religions.
Speaking on the occasion, Ali Raza Shakri, representative of Jamiat Al-Mustafa Al-Alamiya, Delhi, said that Imam Hussain (A.S.) does not belong to the followers of a particular religion, he is loved by people of all faiths.
“Mahatma Gandhi considered Imam Hussain (as) as a role model for himself. As long as humanity is alive, Imam Hussain(A.S) is going to be remembered” Ali said.
Giani Gurudev Singh, a speaker from the Sikh community said that war is mostly fought for wealth, for women or acquiring a territory but in Karbala war was fought to save humanity.
“In the battle of Karbala, Yazid adopted the path of evil which is far from human values and ethics” he said.
Giani further said that Imam Hussain (A.S) has taught people to raise their voice against injustice.
The conference was held from 22nd July, 2022 to 24th July 2022 at the campus of Tanzeemul Makatib, Golaganj Lucknow.
