Islam is a religion that has meaningfully defined all the realms including political and humanitarian status of man. It is the sanctity of the life of prophets who preached Islam and the upholding of humanitarian values that makes Islam capable to creatively interact with the modern world, said Musliyar.
“Love and cooperation are the essence of social life. Those with credibility and morale cannot be a communalist or atheist. Religion values the total intrinsic worth of man, here and hereafter. Those who preach communalism and social split in the name of religion are anti-national elements who have no faith in any religion. Those who play religious card for their own political interest are breaching the individual rights. Government should equally treat all the religion with respect. The political activities should aim the progress of the people. Intermixing of politics and religion will disintegrate the country,” he said.

Islam gives due importance to history and historical relics. It demands the protection of the historical remnants which are proved by authoritarian tenets and such historical relics are spiritually valued and protected in many parts of the world. Muslim world around the globe believe that the life and signs of Prophet are things of sacred importance. There are solid evidences of Prophet himself distributed his holy hair among the disciples in his own time. The holy hairs distributed among thousands of disciples are still kept with pious and purity by millions and there are museums in India and around the world for such relics, he said.
The Heritage Museum proposed to be built by Markaz as an annex to Masjid Sha’re Mubarak is for the protection and exhibition of all such holy remnants of Prophets and men of Islamic importance, and , this will surely add a new dimension to the cultural life of Kerala.
