Conference on Prophet Mohammad''s companions pleads for Muslim unity.

KUWAIT, Nov 5 (KUNA) -- The conference that tackled the legacy of the

companions of the Prophet Mohammad, peace be upon him, urged unity of the

Islamic world and shunning differences among Muslims of the world. In the conference's last session held Wednesday, participants called upon

ministries of awqaf and Islamic institutions to organize activities that help

boost solidarity among Muslims inspired by the history of the prophet's

companions and their legacy and policies. They also called for respecting the other and respecting the virtues

dictated by the Islamic heritage in the Holy Quran and the legacy of the

Prophet Mohammad and his companions which stress dialogue and co-existence. It is important to show respect for the prophet and his companions they

said, and called for avoiding bigotry while encouraging rational dialogue.

This respect would be translated and given life through emulating the wise

policies of the forefathers and older Muslims, they said. These values ought to be given stress through educational curricula, media

programs, and conferences that tackle the history of the prophet's family and

companions, they also said. The conference encouraged supporting and funding projects that relate to

the conference objectives, along with establishing an executive committee

grouping the bodies that would work on implementation of the recommendations. Participants thanked His Highness the Amir for patronizing the conference,

the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, Mabarrat Al-Aal wal Ashab (a

charity), and the Muslim World League for organizing the event.
