On 14th February, AKR, the oldest Interfaith organization, held an event in a Church to discuss topic Ist Idealismus noch gefragt - oder Materialismus? (“Is idealism still in demand - or Materialism?”) I was asked to participate in the event. It was a very nice discussion. Representatives of various religions discussed the topic and later on answered questions from the audience.

Historic Photo found

During the archive project, I found a historic photo of Hazrat Maulana Muhammad Ali presented to the Honorable Wallace D. Muhammad of USA on April 11, 1976. The photo is duly signed by the wife and all the sons and daughters of the late Maulana. It is a clear proof of the good relationship of the AAIIL with the largest American Muslim organization. It is a document which proves the historic visit of Wallace D. Muhammad to our Head Office in Lahore, Pakistan in April 1976.
