DARA SHIKOH PROJECT OF

INTERFAITH UNDERSTANDING (DSIU)

For Promoting Interfaith Understanding and Discovering Commonalities among Religions

In the trouble-torn World Today, Interfaith Understanding is the only way. The Essence of all religions is one which is Godliness, Spirituality and Morality. There are striking similarities in the system of belief, forms of worship and the precepts. Dara Shikoh was the first to codify commonalities among religions. W.ith so many similarities there is no reason why followers of religions may not have Interfaith Understanding instead of communal hatred, conflicts. We will work tirelessly for promoting interfaith understanding. 

PROJECT OF RECONSTRUCTION

OF RELIGIOUS THOUGHT (ARRT)

MAULANA AZAD PROJECT

OF MADRASA EDUCATION (AME)

For spreading Liberal-Pluralistic and modern outlook and Promoting modernization and Carrier Promotion of Madrasa Students

Historically, madrasas as religious teaching institutions have held a position of esteem and significance in the Indian subcontinent. If we can change the outlook of Madrasa student and bring them in the mainstream, it will have impact in changing the outlook of Muslims of India.

Curriculum of madrasas plays a significant role in radicalization or developing religious tolerance. A problem with the curriculum being taught at religious seminaries is that it develops exclusivism, narrow outlook and animosity to modernity. We will compile and introduce the Interfaith Studies course books and endeavour to incorporate them in Madrsa syllabus. Likewise we will prepare a course of ‘Ilm Kalām-e Jadīd (Modern Muslim Theology) and endeavour to make it a part of the Madrasa syllabus for developing inclusive and liberal religious outlook.

Moreover, we will develop Instituting mechanisms to involve madrasa youth in the promotion of a culture of peace, tolerance and intercultural and interreligious dialogue, and to launch youth empowerment and engagement programme to arrest any tendency for radicalization.
