World Interfaith Harmony Week is starting from today (Saturday). It is celebrated every year during the first week of February.

This week was conceived to promote a culture peace and nonviolence.

World Interfaith Harmony Week is an annual event being observed since 2010.

Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif has urged the religious scholars, community leaders and citizens to play role in promoting brotherhood as extremism and divisive rhetoric are threat to social peace and harmony.

The Prime Minister shared these views in his message on World Interfaith Harmony Week.

Shehbaz Sharif said this week serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of dialogue, understanding, and cooperation among diverse religious communities.

He said Pakistan, envisioned by our founding father Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah as a sanctuary for all faiths, remains steadfast in its constitutional oath to protect every citizen’s right to belief, dignity, and equality.

The Prime Minister said the government is committed to fostering an environment of acceptance, tolerance, and mutual respect.
