World Sufi Forum: PM Narendra Modi to inaugurate four-day conclave today
The international conclave is expected to debate global terrorism, sectarian division in the Muslim community and also the role of women in Islam.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the World Sufi Forum in New Delhi on Thursday, where more than 200 Indian and international delegates, including Sufi Shuyukh, spiritual leaders, scholars, academicians and masters of Sufism, are participating.
The four-day event is being organised by All India Ulama and Mashaikh Board (AIUMB), the apex body of Sufi Dargahs in India.
The meeting is expected to debate on how Sufi teaching can prevent global terrorism. The conclave will also debate on how to guide the Muslim community away from sectarian division.
The organisers also said the debate on the role of women in Islam will also be conducted in the international conference.
The Sufi Conference is expected to come out with a declaration against extremism and Wahabism in the last day of the event to be convened in the Ramlila Maidan.
