City Desk :
Trained Imams and Islamic scholars can play a vital role in welfare of the nation as they have social responsibility in this regard.
The present government under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been working relentlessly for freeing the nation from all sorts of terrorism, militancy and drugs. The Islamic scholars should extend their whole-hearted cooperation towards the government endeavor.
The views were expressed at a pre-Iftar discussion titled “Role of Imams and Islamic Scholars for building a society free from terrorism, militancy, corruption and drug-addiction” in Rajshahi.
Rajshahi district and city unit of Bangladesh National Imam Samity organized the event recently at Nanking Darbar Hall. Large number of Islamic scholars and Imams joined the meeting discussing ways and means on ensuring peace and tranquility everywhere in the society.
Chaired by the samity’s city unit president Hafez Mobarak Karim, the meeting was addressed, among others, by former mayor of Rajshahi City Corporation AHM Khairuzzaman Liton, Divisional Director of Islamic Foundation Syed Amin Uddin Mahmud, Professor Abdus Salam Al Madani and Associate Professor Barkullah Bin Durul Huda from Rajshahi University and Mufassire Quran Abul Kashem Faruqui.
The discussants unequivocally called upon the Islamic scholars and leaders to play their due role in wiping out drug-addiction and terrorism from the society.
They said the Islamic scholars should engage themselves in the campaign. They should take the responsibility in making the society free from all-sorts of social menace.
Former Mayor Liton observed that Islam has no relation to any sort of crime and any other anarchic activities rather it is a religion of global peace and tranquility.
He underscored the need for proper motivation and counseling to the new generation so that they could supplement the government effort to culminate terrorism.
The present government is determined to combat crimes and terrorism with collective efforts of all quarters especially the imams and other religious leaders, Liton added.
