Dr. Manzoor Ahmad, Rector IIUI, Dr. Mahmood Ahmad Ghazi, President IIUI, Dr. SM Zaman, Director General IRI and a number of scholars and intellectuals from the twin cities of Rawalpinid and Islamabad were also present on this occasion on Wednesday.

"Tasawwuf is a search for the eternal truth that can be carried out by adherents of any religion. Eternal Truth is one, universal and the only real source of the existence of the rest of the things in the universe", he added.
