Hyderabad, July 30: A two-day seminar on the Holy Quran was inaugurated by the Governor Narain Dutt Tiwari on Wednesday. The seminar is being held at the AKM Oriental Degree and PG College in Kachiguda.
In his address, the Governor said that though all religions are tolerant and preach love and understanding, some elements exist in every religion which twist the meaning out of context and resort to reprehensible acts. This ought to be condemned by all.
The Governor also talked about the uniqueness of the Quran and said that it contained all the elements for leading a harmonious life. “The Quran is a book that people from all religions can benefit from,” he said.
US Consulate General Cornelis M Keur, who was the guest of honour, said that Judaism, Christianity and Islam shared the same roots. “Hyderabad is a great centre for a tolerant Islamic religion,” he said. “I am happy to be here to inaugurate this seminar on understanding the Quran,” he said.
Dr Mohammed Fazlullah Shareef, Convener of the conference, said that the Quran is a book of guidance which contained scientific and literary aspects. “The deliberations will offer new vistas and uncover hidden aspects of the holy book,” he said.
