Pakistan marked a significant milestone in its campaign against extremism, terrorism and sectarian violence as leading religious scholars and spiritual leaders from all schools of thought offered Maghrib prayers behind a single Imam at Jamia Tur Rasheed, Karachi, in an unprecedented demonstration of religious harmony and national unity.
This historic demonstration was observed during an official visit to Jamia Tur Rasheed, organized by the National Paigham-e-Aman Committee and brought together eminent Ulema and Mashaikh, representatives of major religious seminaries and leaders from different faith communities.
The congregation is being regarded as the first of its kind in Pakistan’s history, where scholars representing all schools of Islamic thought assembled at a leading religious institution to offer congregational prayers behind one Imam, sending a strong message of unity, tolerance and peaceful coexistence.
