Mujahid said the mosque has been the centre of knowledge, a peacemaker, and a place of refuge in its history.Īnwar 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. The faith community must spread love and take the path of peace. 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. Organised by mosque chairman, Dato’ Seri Dr Mujahid Yusof Rawa, and Penang Gandhi Peace Centre (PGPC) chairperson, Prof Dato’ Seri Anwar Fazal, this event first started in 2009. On April 1, the Acheen Street Mosque, a UNESCO World Heritage Mosque, was the venue for a Buka Puasa Muhibbah event to foster understanding and friendship between members of the different faith communities and to promote peace to humanity.

With them are Bishop Sebastian Francis and members of the MCCBCHST. Dato’ Seri Dr Mujahid Yusof Rawa and Prof Dato’ Seri Anwar Fazal holding up a framed memento depicting the word ‘Peace’ in several languages.
