People of all religion hold Sufi’s in high esteem and reverence as they always talked about truth and rights and conveyed message of brotherhood, love and humanity. It is necessary to uphold and spread their messages for peace and harmony in the society.
Chairman Pakistan Academy of Letters Abdul Hameed expressed these views while welcoming audience attending the Sufi Musical Night organised by PAL.
The Sufi Musical Night was marked by musical renderings of ‘Sufiana Kalam’ by Ustad Shaukat Manzoor and Mushtaq Raza, creating a spiritual trance over the audience. While presenting his paper about the Sufi’s of this land, Ali Akbar Abbas enlightened the audience about the important role played by the Sufi’s to bring the people of different religions and sects closer through their writings and philosophy, which remains a magnificent chapter of our literary traditions and culture. Ali Akbar Abbas said that the personality of spiritual writer has a different impact and unique effect on the listeners. The echo of spiritual poetry can still be heard in every nook and corner of this region, he added.
