Srinagar, India (IINA) - Promoting the peaceful message of Qur'an  and the merciful picture of Islam across the country, a renowned Indian Muslim scholar has flagged off a new van, which offers digital versions of the Muslims' holy book "Qur'an" in different languages to people regardless of their faith.
The new mobile van was officially launched by noted Islamic scholar and General Secretary of All India Muslim Personal Law Board Maulana Khalid Saifullah Rahmani, according to OnIslam news.
“It is incumbent upon every Muslim to reach out to every citizen with the message of Allah as the holy book was not meant exclusively for Muslims alone,” Sartaj Ahmad of Satya Sandesh Foundation (SSF) told Greater Kashmir.
The state-of-the-art facility for downloading the Holy Qur'an in different languages was launched from the premises of Siraj ul Uloom seminary at Nawab Bazar in Shaher-e-Khaas.
The ceremony was attended by a galaxy of Indian Muslim scholars, including Sartaj Ahmad and Shahid Shameem of SSF and Qur'an Institute of Kanpur and students of different seminaries.
Discussing duties of Muslims towards Qur'an, Maulana Syed Bilal Hassan Nadvi lauded the organizers for launching the vehicle which will move from place-to-place with Islamic scholars on board who will be interacting with people from all faiths including tourists, replying their queries.
“They will remove misconceptions about Islam, the religion of peace and share with them digital copies of Qur'an on media like CDs, DVDs, Pendrives, cellular mobiles, memory cards and hard drives,” Maulana Nadvi said.
