Need for representing real picture of Islam underlined

ISLAMABAD—Participants here at a function on Monday underlined the need for promotion of real picture of Islam which is being negatively propagated in certain parts of the globe.
This was stated by Dr Anwar Hussain Siddiqui, President, International Islamic University (IIU). He was addressing the concluding ceremony of 24th one month International Human Resource Development Programme organized by IIU.
He said that Dawah (Islamic Call) is a noble task which should be carried out by every Muslim to spread the message of peace which is a prominent distinction of Islam itself. “The Muslim preaches are faced with a sinister propaganda campaign all over the world which should be tackled with wisdom and farsightedness,” he added. He further said that Muslims should be aware of the internationalobligations as well as their responsibilities.
Dr Siddiqui was of the view that Dawah Academy is for presenting Islam in an acceptable way so that even non-Muslims may be able to understand and accept enlightened teachings of Islam. Director Dawah Academy, Prof Abdul Jabbar Shakir and Course Coordinator, Fareed Brohi also spoke on the occasion.
Participants from 15 American, African and Asian countries were given certificates, says a press release.—APP
