SRINAGAR: Chairperson of Jammu & Kashmir Waqf Board Dr Syed Darakhshan Andrabi on Monday chaired a Conference of Imams & Khateebs at Srinagar. All Imams and Khateebs of Waqf Board participated in the conference while Waqf Board members Syed Mohammed Hussain also participated in the conference.
Eid-al-Fitr arrangements were reviewed in the meeting and a deliberation on the propagation of the Sufi ideology took place where all religious preachers expressed their views on the responsibility of Imams and Khateebs on social awakening related to the hazards of drug abuse, the importance of peace and harmony in the society.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr Andrabi said that it was the responsibility of the preachers to pass on messages related to moral values and social values to the new generation in our society. “Spirit of inclusivity and spirituality is our strength and we need to propagate this Sufi ideology. The teachings of our spiritual leaders and Walis and Rishis need to be disseminated to the youth,” she said.
Dr Darakhshan said that this was the age of the revival of the Sufi thought in J&K and religious preachers have a bigger role to play. While extending Eid greetings to the religious preachers, Dr Andrabi wished them all the best for Eid prayers in their respective areas.
