Organised by mosque chairman, Dato’ Seri Dr Mujahid Yusof Rawa, and Penang Gandhi Peace Centre chairperson, Prof Dato’ Seri Anwar Fazal, this event first started in 2009. Mujahid said Ramadan, apart from the virtues of fasting and praying, is also about promoting the values of peace and harmony, more so when people are spreading hate through social media. The faith community must spread love and take the path of peace. Mujahid said the mosque has been the centre of knowledge, a peacemaker, and a place of refuge in its history.
Anwar Fazal who shared moments in the path of harmony and peace mentioned that the late President of India, APJ Abdul Kalam, who went on a walkabout in 2008, in streets leading to the Acheen Street Mosque, praised the unity of hearts and minds and human dignity of the community in the churches, temples, and mosques along the route. He penned a sixstanza poem with the first and last paragraphs.
