LAHORE: (Friday, July 7, 2023): Punjab University Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Khalid Mahmood has said in his message on the ‘Youm e Taqdees-e-Quran’ that around 14 hundred years ago, when the world including Europe was not familiar with human rights, such a book was revealed in the form of the Holy Quran that taught the world not only to respect humanity and each other's rights but also to take care of animals. He said that in the Holy Quran, the secrets related to the creation and existence of the universe were revealed 14-hundred years ago, which today's scientists are surprised to know with the help of modern technology. He said that many scientists have also embraced Islam after being inspired by the knowledge of the universe in the Holy Quran. The VC said that Islam is a religion of peace and the desecration of the Holy Quran in Sweden has caused grief and anger among the Muslims around the world. He said that certain elements want to achieve nefarious goals by inciting the feelings of Islamophobia. He said that all religions of the world condemn the spread of hateful sentiments and therefore, the United Nations should play a practical role to permanently prevent such incidents of insulting religions. He said that the Swedish government should take strict action against the people involved in such incidents that hurt the sentiments of Muslims because Muslims will not tolerate any action against the sanctity of the Holy Quran and the Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W).
