Dr. Sahibzada Uzair Mahmood Al-Azhari, a renowned Islamic scholar and Member of the Islamic Ideological Council of Pakistan, recently delivered a powerful message emphasizing that Islam is founded on peace and compassion.

In his talk, he explained that:

  • The word “Islam” itself is derived from “peace”, and its core values promote harmony, justice, and respect for all humanity.
  • The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is the greatest example of peaceful living and compassion towards others.
  • True Muslims are those who ensure safety and comfort for others — both in words and actions.

He highlighted that terrorism, hatred, and oppression are completely against the teachings of Islam, and encouraged everyone to reflect the peaceful message of Islam through their character.

“Islam is not a religion of fear or force — it is a path of peace and mercy.”


This brief talk serves as a timely reminder to reclaim the true spirit of Islam and promote unity and understanding in today’s world.
