Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani on Sunday directed the Interior Minister to hold meeting with the representatives of Wafaq-Ul-Madaaris Al-Arabia to decide a uniform curriculum for all religious institutions in the country. The Prime Minister was talking to an 18-member delegation of Wafaq Ul Madaaris Al-Arabia, whic was led by Qari Hanif Jalandhary. Syed
Yusuf Raza Gilani said Islam is a religion of peace, tolerance and
brotherhood, but a few perverted elements, working on foreign agenda,
have tried to malign its good name.
He said extremists were neither
sincere to Islam nor to the country or any other institution, rather
they were hired by foreign elements to carry out foreign agenda. He
sought fullest cooperation of all religious circles and institutions
across the country.
The Prime Minister reiterated that the government was pursuing a three-D policy - Defence, Dialogue and Development.
He said that like any institution, it is also responsibility of Madaaris to work and support the campaign for eradication of extremism and terrorism in the society.
Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani said that Madaaris should also impart information technology training and education to students so that they could earn livelihood.
He said education was the only way forward for progress and prosperity of the country. He assured full support to Madaaris for resolving their problems. “Ulema and Mashaikh should come forward to dispel the wrong impression about Madaaris”, he added.
Qari Hanif Jalandhary on this occasion said that Wafaq Ul Madaaris Al-Arabia was the oldest and largest organisation of religious institutions. He said that 14,500 institutions were imparting education in the country and more than 200,000 students would appear in the examination this year.
Qari Hanif said that the PM himself belonged to a religious family and is in a good position to understand the working and problems of religious institutions.
He suggested that there was a need to streamline religious and secular education in the country.
He said that new legislation was required on Madaaris to bring these into the mainstream. He assured that all Madaaris would support the government in its campaign against terrorism.
He also requested the Prime Minister that Madaaris degrees should be recognised so that Madaaris students could find jobs in the country. APP
