The management committee of the Sikh Gurudwara in Joshimath
in the state of Uttrakhand has shown a gesture which needs to be appreciated
and admired by all religious communities
in the world. The Muslim community in
that city does not have a Mosque and on the occasion of Eid, the Sikh Gurudwara
management committee offered their premises to the Muslims to recite their
hymns and complete their Namaaz services.
Needless to say, the Muslim community was very grateful, and I am sure,
the gesture of the Sikh community has sowed the seed of friendship between
Sikhs and Muslims in that part of India. This type of religious tolerance is required
to remove the trust deficit among Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Jews and
Hindus. India being a secular country has
shown many a times this type of tolerance.
Can any Muslim country match this gesture? May be not.
HENCE, THE NEED FOR THE MODERATE MUSLIM COMMUNITY TO PRESSURE THEIR
RESPECTIVE GOVERNMENTS AND MULLAHS TO MEND THEIR WAYS OF PREACHING AND LIVING
IN A CIVILIZED WORLD
