The world observes the first week of February as the World Interfaith Harmony Week, by virtue of the UN General Assembly’s Resolution A/65/L.5, issued on 20 October 2010. The Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO) released a communiqué on this occasion wherein it stated that “Based on the resolution of the United Nations General Assembly which reaffirms that mutual understanding and interreligious dialogue constitute important dimensions of a culture of peace, and calls for observing the World Interfaith Harmony Week as a means of promoting interfaith harmony and dialogue among people regardless of their religion, ISESCO considers interreligious dialogue as one of the principles and values enshrined in its Charter and adopted as part of its action plans and civilizational mission.” The communiqué underscored that ISESCO has, since its inception, endeavored to carry out programmes and activities aimed at promoting a culture of justice and peace among the followers of religions, particularly through the organization of international conferences and symposia on intercultural dialogue and alliance of civilizations. By the same token, the communiqué pointed out that ISESCO is a partner of the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations and an active player in the major international events dedicated to dialogue among the followers of religions and cultures. The communiqué also stressed that in support of such efforts, the 7th Islamic Conference of Culture Ministers (December 2011) adopted a study by ISESCO on the Initiative of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques for Dialogue among Followers of Religions and Cultures. The 8th session of the Conference (January 2014) has, in turn , adopted the executive plan of the initiative. Furthermore, the communiqué said that as part of the actions dedicated to Muslims outside the Islamic World, ISESCO held the 10th Meeting of the Heads of Islamic Cultural Centers and Associations in Europe (London, June 2013). The Organization also held the 9th Meeting of the Heads of Islamic Cultural Centers and Associations in Latin America and the Caribbean this February, in Georgetown, Guyana. In the same vein, ISESCO urged the OIC Member States to support the Week with a view to promoting the message of harmony in the different spheres of thought and education as well as in places of worship, taking into account the religious beliefs and traditions of each country. On this occasion, ISESCO called on the international community to counter the campaigns of racism, hatred and denigration of religions waged against Muslims and Islamic sanctities. It also urged the Member States of the United Nations to abide by the General Assembly’s Resolution 65/224 on combating defamation of religions. http://www.isesco.org.ma/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=10056:in-a-communiqué-on-the-occasion-of-the-world-interfaith-harmony-week-isesco-calls-on-the-international-community-to-counter-the-campaigns-of-racism-hatred-and-defamation-of-religions&lang=en

In the Spirit of UN World Interfaith Harmony Week, and on the centenary of the start of WW1, Woking People of Faith and the Shah Jahan Mosque have collaborated to commemorate the positive contribution of people of all faiths from the Commonwealth. Woking’s Historic Shah Jahan Mosque, and Muslim Burial Ground (now subject to restoration) provide an apposite backdrop for this affirmation of collaboration between people of different faiths and cultures. The World Interfaith Harmony Week is based on the pioneering work of The Common Word initiative. http://www.acommonword.com . This initiative, which started in 2007, called for Muslim and Christian leaders to engage in a dialogue based on two common fundamental religious Commandments; Love of God, and Love of the Neighbour, without nevertheless compromising any of their own religious tenets. The Two commandments are at the heart of the three Monotheistic religions and therefore provide the most solid theological ground possible. The World Interfaith Harmony Week adapts the focus to say: ‘Love of the Good, and Love of the Neighbour’. This formula includes all people of goodwill, those of other faiths, and those with no faith.
