The war and crime
these days against that it is very rare to find two people of different
religions stand together and talk, without any argument. In order to prove one’s
own religion superior and better than the other, the tolerance of people
towards the other religions is decreasing with each passing day.
When
muezzins recited the adhan for Maghrib prayer in mosques on Monday — the first
day of Ramadan — the same call to prayer was heard at Dubai’s Guru Nanak Darbar
Gurudwara.
When the
muezzins recite the adhan for Maghrib prayer in the mosques on Monday, which was
the first day of Ramadan, the same prayer call was also heard in Dubai’s Guru
Nanak Darbar Gurudwara.
The Sikh
community enjoys langar sitting on the community kitchen’s floor, a group of
Muslims broke their fast sitting on the other side of the hall.
Bangladeshi
Islamic scholar Hafeez Abdul Huq broke his fast with them, they also led the
prayer in an area which was separately arranged for the men and women in the same
hall. He will be leading the maghrib prayer throughout Ramadan.
The person
who joined the Muslims inside a place of worship which belonged to the other
religion for the first time was the head of the Sikh shrine himself.
In these tiring and
tough times, this gurudwara is trying its bit and changing the norms. In the
Year of Tolerance, the gurudwara organizes iftars for the Muslim community at
its premises every day for the entire month of Ramadan.
This Gurudwara
has been offering vegetarian three meals daily to every visitor, regardless of
their religion, caste, and background. This has been the practice of the Gurudwara
and its authorities since the past six years, but this year it decided to hold
iftars daily from May 15th said the chairman of the Gurudwara,
Surender Singh Kandhari.
The primary
purpose of the authorities was to serve the Muslim workers in the locality; the
people who first came on the first day of Ramadan were those who had heard
about it from their friends or colleagues linked with the gurudwara.
The evening
prayers are also held in the gurudwara premises, which is a sign of peace and the togetherness that these actions are proving to be.
S.P. Singh,
general manager of the gurudwara said the snacks and the frutis and the juices
were arranged separately for the iftar other than the vegetarian langar which
comprised of six items. He said “We
are spreading the word. We hope more people, especially workers, will join us
for iftar in the coming days.”
We wish to see such things happening at different places to bring peace and concord in the world.
