Mini Forum

  Last November 30, 2016 the mini forum was held at CBAA Canteen with the guest speaker sultan of Marawi, executive officer, Mr. Abdul Hamidullah Atar. It was my great pleasure to meet and listen to his talk.

  One of the highlight that Mr. Abdul talked about is peace. Mr Abdul shared about the reasons and the impact to the indigenous people about the doctrine. Then after that he also shared the 5 approaches of Quran such as social contract, reconciliation, good governance, economic development and freedom. Social contract is all about the protection, respect especially in terms of religion. Reconciliation means that the girl should have the right also, good economic development means that those “pautang”  should be demolished and lastly the freedom that those people who are slave were no longer be a slave. See how these approaches are. In talking about freedom then peace was defined by Mr Abdul into 4 components the peace within yourself, between you and god, your relationship to people, to neighbors and to the environment. Muslims is composed of many tribes, one of those is Meranao. Meranao is homogenous means they are a group that protected their    relatives or each other.

 

Mr.ABDUL HAMIDULLAH ATAR

I learned something that afternoon and I also I realized something important that Muslims should not be judged by everyone.
