Government College University in Lahore, Pakistan
Lahore, (IINA) - Dr Khalid Zaheer, an eminent Islamic scholar who holds a PhD in Islamic Banking from the University of Wales in UK, stressed the need for a strong global narrative of peace and love for humanity, Pakistan Observer reported.
He was tracing the causes of extremism and terrorism all across the world while addressing an interactive lecture on “Islam, Peace and Pakistan” at the Government College University in Lahore.
Dr Zaheer said that Muslims should celebrate the diversity of opinion and interpretation and spend their energies in looking for common grounds.
“We must acknowledge the possibility of error in the human judgments and be prepared to readjust our perspective in the light of logical application of the true essence of the Holy Qur’an and Sunnah in our day-to-day problems,” said the guest speaker.
“Healthy debate on the issues confronting our lives shall take us away from a violent approach towards them,” he added.
Dr. Khalid believed that in the contemporary world, the message of Islam could only be spread on the basis of love, tolerance and sagacity. Speaking on the occasion, Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Hassan Amir Shah endorsed the urgency of evolving a new narrative of peace and harmony and expressed satisfaction on the arrangements of intellectual discourse among religious scholars, academics and students.
A large number of students and professors attended the lecture including Prof Dr Sultan Shah, Prof Dr Iqbal Shahid, Prof Dr Ahmed Adnan and Dr Khalid Manzoor Butt.
