Islamabad: Teachings of Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai, the great mystic poet of Indus Valley; for tolerance and reconciliation in the society provided the best policy for ensuring peace and eliminating extremism from the world.
These views were expressed in a seminar on ‘Life and Poetry of Shah Abdul Latif’ held here on Thursday.
Addressing the seminar, minister for Zakat and Usher Pir Noor ul Haq Qadri said that mystics like Shah Abdul Latif are the symbol of tolerance, brotherhood and lover for the humanity.
He asked the intellectual community to propagate the message of Shah Latif Bhitai and other Sufi poets on international forums, as it contained policy of tolerance, thus it was solution of the global terrorism and extremism through which the world is passing these years.
He said Shah Abdul Latif struggled against tyranny, violence and hatred and to establish a peaceful society, where faith and rights of all the people could be protected and respected without any ethnic discrimination.
“The mysticism does not come in clash with any faith and civilization rather it mixes up with the traditions and conventions, this incorporation of faith and culture helps to ensure peace in the society,” the minister said.
Earlier, Dr Ghazanfar Mehdi urged the government to establish a national institute of ‘sufism’ to promote teachings of the mystics throughout the globe and preserve the great literary heritage for generations to come.
Khair Muhammad Sethar, Chairman of the Budhal Faqir Adabi Society, said that poetry of Shah Latif is portrait of Indus Valley civilisation and his verses described the bent of mind of the Sindhis — the humble and tolerant people who never indulge into confrontation with anyone for material gains.
