The UN Alliance of Civilizations High Representative, President Jorge Sampaio, has welcomed the establishment of the World Interfaith Harmony Week from 1 to 7 February, 2012.
On October 20, 2011, the United Nations General Assembly unanimously established the World Interfaith Harmony Week through the adoption of a Resolution upon an initial proposal by H.M. King Abdullah II of Jordan on September 23rd 2010.
One wonders whose actual idea it was, as His Majesty the King of Jordan is not really known for his religious sentiments, inter-faith or otherwise…
I believe that it was Allah Almighty’s idea, revealed to His Promised Messiah (May Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon Him).
In his last book “Message of Peace”, Promised Messiah AS wrote in 1908:
“…we all believe in God, the Creator and Master of the Universe. Also, we belong to the same denomination of God’s species and are referred to as humans. Furthermore, as inhabitants of the same country, we are mutual neighbors. This requires that we become friends to each other, with purity of heart and sincerity of intentions….”
