Religious leaders are called to manage peace

 

The Deputy Speaker of the Parliament of the United Republic of Tanzania Musa Hassani Zungu has called on the Ahmadiyya Muslim community to unite with other communities to manage peace in the country.

This was said by the deputy during the 53rd meeting of the Ahmadiyya Islamic community held in Tongola, Ilala, Dar es Salaam.

Zungu said that all religions have the right to worship according to the law, so obeying the laws of the country is the duty of all religions.

"Don't associate with groups of people who want to bring hatred in our nation, because they will disrupt the peace and unity between Tanzanians, we Tanzanians are one all the years, under one God and our government of the United Republic of Tanzania led by mother Samia Suluhu Hasani" . said Zungu.

In addition, he said the President of the United Republic of Tanzania wants Tanzanians to join him in completing the local government elections in peace and stability, while praying for all Tanzanians to have a peaceful election.

In another step, ed. Zungu asked the religious leaders not to get involved in politics because they disturb the believers sometimes by getting wrong information.

He also said that religion is the solid foundation for building good morals in children, so religious leaders have been asked to take appropriate measures to control the erosion of morals through globalization.

He concluded by saying meetings like that are important because they build unity, solidarity and peace as well as reminding people to know God.

On his part, Amiri and the chief soothsayer of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community Sheikh Khawaja Muzafar said that they are very happy that their community and the government are together, and he said that they do not involve themselves in politics other than religion.

"We are teaching the community to live in peace and this is the big policy of the country of Tanzania that we build peace for all people, if we have peace we will move forward." said Muzafar.

The Director of Basic Education from the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology Alhaji Abdul Maulid added that the motto of the meeting is Islam and peace which means, peace of heart, peace of the individual, peace in society, peace in the country and where there is peace people find reading space.

He said that they, as a ministry, emphasize a lot on the child to get an education and the new curriculum builds the child to study for the next ten years, enabling the graduate to be self-employed.

The 53rd meeting, which carried the slogan Islam and peace, was attended by more than five thousand people from various regions and abroad.
