Interfaith harmony is essential for peace and harmony, especially in today’s times. People of different religions and faiths live all over the world, and only harmony, tolerance and tolerance between them can lay the foundation for a peaceful society. The speakers expressed these views at an “Interfaith Iftar Party” held in London. The event was organised by the charity organisation “AlMustafa Welfare Trust”, Hounslow Friends of Faith and “West Thames College” in the college’s hall. On this occasion, the speakers emphasised that without interfaith harmony, problems such as social unrest, extremism and intolerance arise, which can pose a threat to progress and peace. By promoting common values such as love, peace, justice and service to humanity among different religions, we can reduce differences and strengthen unity. Therefore, to create harmony, it is necessary that we understand each other’s beliefs. Respect, promote dialogue and remove mutual misunderstandings through education and awareness because therein lies the secret of a better and more peaceful world because through mental harmony, people of different faiths get the opportunity to dialogue, which helps them understand each other better. The participants further said that interfaith harmony is a theory and practice that aims to promote tolerance, tolerance, love and understanding between people of different religions. Its main goal is that people respect each other’s beliefs and ideologies and ensure peaceful coexistence based on common human values. Therefore, by organizing such an event, people of different religions accept and treat each other with respect, which leads to a peaceful and stable society. Since Britain is also a multicultural society, we should also build this country and society under the principles of coexistence. We must play our full role to keep the peace.
