Srinagar: National Conference president Farooq Abdullah on Thursday called for unity, justice and equality among Muslims to effectively address the challenges confronting them.
Addressing a gathering at Eidgah here, he said collective solidarity and adherence to these fundamental principles are essential to effectively address the challenges confronting Muslims across the world, particularly in West Asia.
The former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister said the Muslim world is passing through a critical phase marked by political instability, humanitarian crises and growing uncertainty in several regions.
The strength of Muslims, he said, lies in their unity and unwavering commitment to the values of justice, equality, compassion and mutual respect.
“Discord and divisions only weaken societies and make them vulnerable to external and internal challenges. It is imperative for Muslims across the globe to stand together, uphold the principles of justice and work collectively for peace, dignity and progress,” he said.
Expressing concern over the prevailing situation in West Asia, the National Conference chief said that continued conflicts and loss of innocent lives are a matter of grave concern for the entire Muslim world.
He urged the world community to prioritise dialogue, reconciliation and humanitarian values in order to foster lasting peace and stability in the region.
Abdullah also highlighted the importance of social harmony, brotherhood and inclusiveness, asserting that these values form the bedrock of a strong and resilient society.
He called upon people to rise above differences and work towards the collective welfare and prosperity of humanity.
