In a message, Sohail Ahmad Raza, Director of Interfaith Relations,
said that the religious festivals reminded us of common values of all faiths.
He said that we were living in perilous times
and there was the need of fostering interfaith dialogue
and harmony in the world.
He said all religions condemned terrorism and it was wrong to equate terrorism with any religion.

At Minhaj-ul-Quran International, it is our custom to celebrate Christmas and host annual Christmas gatherings and invite our Christian brethren.
This has been the way initiated and promoted
by the founder and Patron-in-Chief of Minhaj-ul-Qur’an International, Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri.

A regular attendee at these gatherings is Dr. Andrew Francis, Archbishop of Multan, Pakistan. Speaking at one of these events, Bishop Dr. Andrew Francis said,
“Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri has always been a torchbearer in promoting
interfaith harmony between Islam and Christianity and I appreciate
Dr Qadri’s efforts for global peace and harmony.”
