The Role of Muslim Intellectuals in Elevating Faith , Creating Peace and Advancing
Inter –faith Dialogue among people and Communities

Islam is the religion of peace , love and coexistence with other peoples with different faith .
The mercy , forgiveness and justice are embedded in the massage of Islam and it’s messenger , the Prophet Muhammad . Unfortunately , Islam has been faced with the tremendous hostility and difficulty by a number of ignored , selfish and oppressor groups and communities . From the out set of the Islam , the prophet Mohammad and his followers were forced to fight for protecting themselves and their family .
Interesting enough , people were so fascinated with Islam and it’s spiritual message to convert to this new religion , regardless of these predicaments .

The virtue of civilization , modernization , scientific discovery and progress have been embedded in the teaching of Islam . In Islam , the intellectuals , scientists and teachers have been considers as the messengers of God . In Islam , the spiritual aspect of life is coincided with secular aspect of life and scientific discoveries endorse the revelation and Divine guidelines .

Unfortunately , the enemies of Man , spirituality and religion misuse the religion for their own benefit and exploitation of human being . The Religious leaders should reach to an agreement about how to deal with these man made religions . The active participation and delegation in international conferences and inter-faith dialogues are the best plan action to achieve this goal.

The social justice is the focal point of the Divine Law and the purpose of the institution of prophecy is nothing but establishment of justice among human kind . All religious leaders should honor this very basic principal as the sources of cooperation and harmony among believers . The belief in salvation of man and coming savior is common among all religions and intellectuals must cherish this conviction and work for it .

The role of intellectuals among any religious community is the protection of their own religion from any aberration and false interpretation of the Divine Law . The false religions and cults cause a lot of discord and bloodshed among communities and many people lost their life in these conflicts . Intellectuals should safeguard the naive and ordinary people from any harm doing by any opportunistic person who tries to alter Divine Law and misguide innocent Man .

In addition to afore-mention tasks , the Muslim intellectuals should publicize the spiritual and peaceful nature of religion in general and Islam in specific in the world .
Certainly this message of peace and love will touch the hearth of all human beings especially the most needy , I.e., the young generation in this Millennium .

The international organization should honor the virtue of Divine Law , the spiritual heritage of Divine religions and stick to the very basic principle of religions as the bases of any decision and action for peacekeeping and peace making . The presence of religion in our social life bring progress, prosperity , and human well-being . The Divine Law should be the forefront of any gathering , framework of any proposal and guideline of any final assessment in International conventions and conferences .

The clash between civilization and conflict between religions are false message . The man has experienced very terrible religious battles through out history . For example , the Crusade has been one of these horrible and costly experiences . We must learn from the history and should not try the wrong experiment .

The great powers should change their strategy from interfaith-conflict making to interfaith-dialogue supporting . The inter-faith and intra-faith dialogue among religious leader in conventions and conferences should be supported . The fairness and wisdom in discussions shed light on just and justice and help people in their choices .

The Media brings peace and harmony among people by propagating the true nature of Divine religions . The cooperation between the institution of religion and Media is vital for introduction the virtue of faith and Divine Law on one hand and preventing any image making about religion on other hand .
