World Interfaith Harmony

As a response to the recent United Nations launch of the first World Interfaith Harmony Week, Saba Trust initiated a Interfaith conference on the 6th of February in support of the UN.

Here is part of the UN resolution passed to recognize the World Interfaith Harmony Week annually during the first week of February:

1. Reaffirms that mutual understanding and inter religious dialogue constitute important dimensions of a culture of peace;
2. Proclaims the first week of February of every year the World Interfaith Harmony Week between all religions, faiths and beliefs;
3. Encourages all States to support, on a voluntary basis, the spread of the message of interfaith harmony and goodwill in the world's churches, mosques, synagogues, temples and other places of worship during that week, based on love of God and love of one's neighbor or on love of the good and love of one's neighbor, each according to their own religious traditions or convictions;
4. Requests the Secretary-General to keep the General Assembly informed of the implementation of the present resolution.

Saba Trust has a history of interfaith activities both in the United States and Pakistan for the past 45 years. In continuation of these efforts, Saba Trust hosted their World Interfaith Peace Conference on March 4th at the Islamabad Club. I worked at registration, helped run the event and took care of some of the Saba Homes girls that were presenting at the conference. There were about 17 speakers from different faiths and organizations.
