Virajpet, Mar. 5: All religions want the virtues taught by religions such as honesty, compassion, empathy, kindness, love and so on to become universal, said Jamaat-e-Islami Hind State Secretary Akbarali Udupi.
Speaking as the chief guest at the Iftar social gathering organized by Sadbhavana Manch at the Daivagna Samaj Hall in Nisarga Baroda, Virajpet, he said that the Islamic fast prevents man from evil. It teaches man to control his basic needs, including food consumption. He said that Ramadan is important as it is the month in which the Holy Quran was revealed.
Rev. Fr. James Dominic, the chief priest of Virajpet Saint Ann's Church, inaugurated the program and said that fasting is practiced in various ways in all the mainstream religions of the world. The purpose of fasting is that man should have devotion to God. No one has a monopoly on God's guidance. It is not anyone's private property, he said.
