A rainy day in Kuwait with cool breeze and winter-like climate is
something unusual . You don't come across it very often.
It was refreshingly soothing and rejuvenating. So was the Inter-faith
conference hosted on the 3rd of April, Friday, at the GADSIA indoor
stadium in Kuwait. by Tamilnaadu Muslim Cultural Assn.,
based in Kuwait, with a strong member force dedicated to good causes.
A Swamiji, highly learned, welfare of the down-trodden at heart, and
one who confines his activities within the precincts of the Mutt,
flew all the way to Kuwait to represent his faith - Hinduism.He is
Mauna Kumarasaami Thambiranof Tharumai Aadheenam of
Malaikkottai, Trichy. His approach to Spiritualism and religious
harmony were laudable and earned the acclode of the people
who graced the occasion with their presence.
Rev.Fr. Paul Raj Kumar, holder of not one or two but several
post-graduate degrees to his credit, was the torch-bearer for
Christianity. His views were vivid reflecting his hard-earned
knowledge, world-over widely travelled experience.He argued that
man has no right to take away what God has given, that is Love,
Affection and respect for one another. In a nutshell, ANBU,
that is Love should be the all embracing key word in enhancing the
religious harmony.
Thiru Anbalagan, the youngest Ledistrator of the State Legislative
Assembly of Tamil Naadu, India, can easily be described as
a role model of aspiring young generation. With past achievements in
record, and future ambitions in mind, was of the opinion
that all the development plans un-veiled by the government and the
crores and crores money spent on them will be of no use if
people were to be at logger-heads with one another.Calm and socially
healthy atmosphere is a must if the development
activities were to bear the beneficial fruit and the people were to
enjoy it to their heart's content.
Janab Hithayathulla, a businessman, social worker and Secy.General of
World Tamil Islamic Literary Society, was eloquent in
advancing the argument about all things Islaam stood for. If only
people understood Islaam in its proper sense then there will be
no conflict, no terrorism and/or extremism. You tell about your good
things, and let we tell ours and this commonality should
lead us to peaceful society where everyone lives and thrives.
Dr.Sithy Sumayya Sheik Dawood, highly educated and head of an
illustrious institution, namely, Thassim Beevi Abdul Khader
College, Kilakarai, is a shining example of empowered and emancipated
woman-hood. She dwelt on brother-hood and brought
in, her vast experience in her academic pursuits. She emphatically
explained the steller role woman can play in spreading the
spirit of fraternity and brother-hood. In any conflict - communal or
otherwise - women are the worst affected. So, it is essential
for the womenfolk to play a vital role in avoiding calamities.
Brotherhood is the only way out to ensure peace and tranquility
among people through-out the world.
Thiru Ilasai Sundaram, ex-Station Director, All India Radio, was at
his brilliant best in keeping the audience enthralled with his
humourous punches, and timely jokes.His hilarious speech was
interspersed with beautiful quotes from Holy Qur'an and the
sayings of the Prophet (pbuh). Human race has lot to gain and achieve
by following the path of peace. Why should one opt for
"sour" ones when "sweet" is within his grasp. His was sugar-coated
(here humour covered)
pill which is good for the general health of the people.
Haji Abdul Jabbar, a doyen in media - print and electronic - with his
his sixty years of
experience was the Moderator and Master of Ceremony. With a unique
style of his own,
with his depth of knowledge inTamil language conducted the
proceedings admirably.
The conference, undoubtedly, is a re-sounding success. It is further
vouched by the fact
that the two-thousand strong crowd, braved the unusual rain and
patiently waited for well
over five hours and thoroughly enjoyed the proceedings, if the
intermitttent roar of applause
is any indication.
The hard-work and efforts put in by the dedicated members of T.M.C.A.,
for a worthy and noble cause may not bear fruit over-night. But the
seed sown will definitely bring in rich
harvest in the long run. So be it. Amen
It is nice to hear such wonderful works. I fully appreciate and pray for more from TMCA. I do appreciate Mr. Abdul Jabbar for highlighting the points and participation.
May Allah guide all of us in right path.
