WOAG branch in Chad organized a number of activities and events that urge peaceful coexistence, especially after the recent clashes that took place in Kouri Bougoudi region, and claimed the lives of 600 people.
In such vein, WOAG Chad organized a lecture under the title of “Peaceful Coexistence and Renouncing Violence and Extremism“, in Abu Bakr al-Sediq Mosque, in N’Djamena.
Mr. Ahmad Mohammad Saleh, member of WOAG Chad, stressed the necessity of protecting children from adopting violence, intolerance and discrimination among people living in the same nation. He clarified that Islam has allowed the believers to, peacefully, coexist, with their opponents in religion on the basis of amiability, benevolence and justice. Indeed, Islam established the rules of peaceful coexistence with the followers of other religions, to achieve social peace in all aspects. He pointed out that the basis of peaceful coexistence between Muslims and non-Muslims lies in preserving the dignity of every human being, regardless his/her religion, gender or color, as well as believing that differences between people is a reality, as Allah Almighty granted all humans the freedom of choice, as Allah Almighty says: “so let whosoever will believe, and let whosoever will disbelieve” {Q:18:29} and ” Had your Lord willed, He would have made mankind one community, but they continue to differ“. {Q:11:118}.
