Abu Dhabi, November 06, 2012 (PPI-OT): Sufism is the heritage of the Islamic Ummah throughout the world and is a galvanizing force among the Muslims. Not only the menace of extremism and terrorism could be addressed the practice and promotion of Sufism, but this is also a real power that touches the souls of Muslims throughout the universe. Sufism can serve as a tool and engine to help resolve various emerging issues of the region.

He said that the coordination between the two countries should continue to have close collaboration among the Islamic scholars of the two countries. HE Sayyed Ali Hashimi encouraged holding combined Sufi events with a fusion of Arab and Pakistan artists.
