Important to clear up any misconceptions regarding Islam, Sanjrani tells Swedish parliament speaker
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – In response to the desecration of the Holy Quran in Sweden, Acting President Sadiq Sanjrani wrote a letter to the speaker of the Swedish parliament on Tuesday.
In a letter to the speaker of the Swedish parliament, Sanjrani said: "There is no margin of the desecration of the holy figures, scriptures, and religious sentiments in modern era. Islam is a whole system of morality that upholds the profound ideals of tolerance, peace, prosperity, humanity, and love".
"The Holy Quran discourages violence and is an eternal guide. The significance of upholding peace is emphasised in the Holy Quran," he continued.
Sanjrani said, "Islam strictly forbids us from insulting other religions, prophets, or holy books. The true message of Islam must be understood by the entire globe".
"We have deep devotion and love for the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and the Holy Quran. The recent desecration of the Holy Quran has caused confusion and a lack of awareness. It is important to clear up any misconceptions regarding Islam, Sanjrani continued".
"Each of us has a responsibility to teach others how to foster interfaith harmony, tolerance, and understanding," he added.
He added that it is commendable the Swedish government had condemned the sacrilege of the Holy Quran.
For regional and global stability, Sanjrani continued, different faiths, religions, and communities must be treated with tolerance, respect, and compassion.
"I can come to Sweden myself to dispel misconceptions about Islam," he continued.
Sanjrani concluded, "Through mutual cooperation, we can help create a world that is tolerant and peaceful".
