Bhatkal: A strong and harmonious society can be built only through mutual love, compassion, brotherhood and respect, said Muhammad Kunhi, state secretary of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, Karnataka.

He was speaking at a ‘Seerah Get-Together’ organised by the Bhatkal unit of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind here as part of the Seerah campaign, ‘Prophet Muhammad: The Light of Revolution’.

Kunhi said the life and teachings of Prophet Muhammed provide guidance for all aspects of human life, including worship, family, business, social relations and governance. At a time when compassion, love and humanity are declining in society, the Prophet’s life offers valuable guidance, he said.

He stressed the need to remove hatred, mistrust and misconceptions among people and promote mutual understanding to create a peaceful and harmonious social environment.

Muhammed Raza Manvi, in his introductory remarks, said programmes that bring people together to understand one another could help bridge social differences and promote communal harmony.

The programme also featured the distribution of prizes to winners of the Seerah Quiz competition.
