HYDERABAD: As an initiative towards world peace and to spread the message of universal love, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat will organise a World Peace Day here on February 21.
The Jamaat has roped in leaders of all religion to attend the conference. "The meet will help them preach on world peace from a common platform,'''' Moulana Burhan Uddin Zafar of Jamaat said.Nearly 1500 people are expected to participate in the event to be held at V V Function Hall near Jambagh here.
Zafar said the Jamaat, founded in 1889, is a non-political organisation. The Ahmadiyya Muslim community is declared as ''Kafir'' in Pakistan as it condemns the concept of Jehad. It was also declared a non-Muslim minority there, he said.
Addressing a press conference on Thursday, Zafar said lectures on the life and teachings of Prophet Mohammed would be conducted at ''Jalsa Seeruthunnabi''.
The conference would be presided over by Hazrat Mirza Wasim Ahmed, the grandson of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmed and founder of the Jamaat, he said.
Zafar added that they were involved in running schools in various parts of the country and were also spreading the message of peace through their own TV channel Muslim Television Ahamadiyya International (MTA).
