World Sufi Forum-2016 <br /> <br />Major Objectives : <br />• Strengthening Global Peace, Rejecting Violence & Extremism <br />• Calling For Unity in Multiplicity, Unconditional Love, Tolerance & Acceptance <br />• Spreading Spiritual and Universal Messages of Islamic Faith <br /> <br />About the Event : <br /> <br />With an aim to take a step in the direction of the above stated objectives, All India Ulama & Mashaikh <br />Board (AIUMB) has planned to organise The World Sufi Forum in New Delhi, India. It will also host an <br />international seminar and a grand public conference. Hundreds of spiritual masters, scholars, Sufi <br />luminaries, Ulama & Mashaikh, Imams and Muftis from across the world are expected to take part in this <br />4-day event which is scheduled to be held at New Delhi from 17th to 20th March, 2016. <br />The conference aims to discuss the issues of extremism and find ways to work out effective <br />counter-narratives. With a number of Sufi-minded Islamic scholars, writers, journalists, university <br />academicians, social activists and grassroots workers, the event is targeted at finding more constructive <br />ways to spread the Islamic message of peace and tolerance as a counterattack on the constantly rising <br />global violent extremism. <br /> <br />Agenda: <br /> <br />While extremism has penetrated the Muslim countries in different forms, Sufi luminaries, Ulama & <br />Mashaikh, Imams and Muftis from all parts of the world need a strong consensus to contain the menace <br />of radical thoughts and religious extremism. They need to propound truly unique and immaculate <br />spiritual theories, which can enlarge the ambit of modern approaches to peace, non-violence and <br />conflict resolution. Interestingly, Sufis are not social scientists but their blend of ideas will be <br />instrumental in conflict resolution and sharing the message of peace. They have been speaking <br />emphatically about the significance of peace, reconciliation and counter extremism. Now is the time to <br />explore new paradigms to respond to the imperatives of modern context. Given their enormous faith in <br />the synergistic role of the diverse streams of Islamic civilization for the purpose of peace, their proactive <br />role and support is vital to foster peace & pluralism, and curb extremism, hatred, conflicts, or intolerance <br />in the name of religion. <br /> <br />The Event Organizer <br /> <br />All India Ulama & Mashaikh Board (AIUMB) is an apex body of Sufi-oriented Muslims in India, which was <br />established with a clear objective of propagating peace, pluralism, tolerance, religious moderation and <br />reconciliation among different faiths and traditions. As clearly stated in its draft, AIUMB particularly aims <br />at disseminating Sufi teachings and practices to foster a composite Indian culture as an anecdote to <br />radical ideologies in the country. <br />About the Delegates <br />We have invited distinguished scholars, Sufi luminaries, Ulama & Mashaikh and peace activists to <br />contribute papers in this epoch-making four-day event. We hope to bring together scholars of Islam, <br />peace, Sufism and other religions to share their papers on the pressing issues of global peace and to <br />discuss their ideas within a spiritual framework. The Seminar is of interdisciplinary nature. Therefore, <br />contributors are welcome to look at the sub-themes and other topics that are attuned to the parameters <br />of the main theme of the Seminar. <br /> <br />The central theme of the forum will be: <br /> <br />TASAWWUF IN 21ST CENTURY <br />SEEKING TO SOLVE GLOBAL CRISES. <br /> <br />The theme has been further divided into sub-topics, which are as follows: <br /> <br />In light of Sufi teachings, is it possible to prevent global terrorism? <br /> <br />Is it possible that the teaching of Tasawwuf and the Sufi Shuyukh can guide the Muslim ummah away from sectarian division? <br /> <br />Is it possible to repair the ethical and cultural values that are currently being eroded throughout the world? <br /> <br />Is it possible that the Sufi Shuyukh can prevent the increasing discrimination against Muslims in India and help them to continue integrating within Indian society? <br /> <br />What is the significance of Tasawwuf in light of contemporary global issues and what would be the methodology to promote it? <br /> <br />Please contact AIUMB office for details. <br />House No. 20, <br />2nd Floor, Lane No. 1 <br />Johri Farm,Jamia Nagar, Okhla <br />New Delhi -25 <br /> <br />Cell : +91-92123-57769 <br /> <br />Email : aiumbdel@gmail.com, <br />jamee.hasan@worldsufiforum.com <br /> <br />Website: www.worldsufiforum.com
