Saudi Gazette report

KOZHIKODE – Sheikh Abdullah Al-Buaijan, imam and khateeb of the Prophet’s Mosque, underscored that Islam is a religion of security and peace. He said this while delivering his speech as the guest of honor in a peace conference themed “Islam is the religion of humanity and peace,” in Kozhikode in India’s southern state of Kerala, on Tuesday.

The Haram imam cautioned against divisions among Muslims, stating that such discord threatens national unity, leads to chaos, and can incite wars. “Divisions and disunity tend to destroy nations and civilizations, threaten the entity of the nation and undermine its cohesion. This will lead to chaos and fuel for sedition and wars,” he said while emphasizing that God has forbidden differences and disagreements and made them among the causes of failure and weakness.

Addressing the conference, Kerala’s Minister for Waqf and Hajj V. Abdurahiman hailed Saudi Arabia for its significant efforts in promoting Islam, spreading peace, and fostering moderation.

The conference, organized by Kerala Nadvatul Mujahideen, was attended by over 50,000 Muslims and broadcast on several media platforms that garnered more than four million views. Sheikh Al-Buaijan led the Maghrib and Isha prayers for the worshipers attended the conference.
