IMA Youth Wing organizes Eid Milan Party

IMA Youth Wing organized an Eid Milan Party on Saturday at Avanthi Palace, Salmiya. People from various faiths attended the function. The party was aimed at building rapport with fellow citizens and fostering good relationship with them.

A presentation on the topic Universal Brotherhood was given by Br. Nisar Ahmad. The presentation was based on the verse from the Holy Quran “O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honored of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things).

Based on this Quranic verse which emphasizes ‘universal brotherhood’, Nisar Ahmad said that all human beings belong to one race and their creator is only one. There is no superiority or inferiority between them except on the basis of piety.   He also quoted verses from other scriptures to highlight the same message; some of the quotes were as follows

‘There is only one God, without a second’ - Chandogya Upanishad, Ch. 6, Sec. No. 2, V. No. 1. ‘All praises are due to Him alone, worship Him alone.’  - Rigved, Vol. No. 8, Ch. No. 1, V. No.1; ‘Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, is one Lord.’  -  Gospel of Mark, Ch. No. 12, V. No. 29.

Apart from invited guests from various faiths, the President and the office bearers of IMA youth wing were present during the occasion.  Gifts were distributed among the guests. The Eid Milan party concluded with the delicious Indian cuisine which added flavor to the event. .
