Prof Kazmi also spoke on the spirit of Islamic philosophy, mystic culture, and Islāmic teachings advocating the implementation of human rights with peace, goodwill, mutual love and understanding.The Islamic perspective of human rights and co-existence with special reference to the Qur’an, Prophetic Sunnah, Companions and members of the Prophet’s family, Sufis and Islamic socio-political reformers were also highlighted by Prof Kazmi.
