Syed Naseruddin Chishty, Janasheen (successor) and head of the Ajmer Sharif Dargah, urged the heads of various dargahs and Muslim religious leaders to spread the message of Sufism to counter the growing environment of hatred, extremism, and bigotry.

Chishty, who is also the chairman of the All India Sufi Sajjadanashin Council, made these remarks at a special event titled Dialogue: Sufism for Global Peace and Brotherhood held in Delhi. The series of such programmes are being organised under the umbrella programme of Mera Mulk Meri Pehchan (My country is my identity).

Addressing the gathering, he said the historic dialogue was not merely an event, but a spiritual call dedicated to safeguarding humanity. He observed that the world today is grappling with unrest, war, hatred, religious extremism, and the erosion of human values.

“While humanity is undoubtedly progressing materially, qualities such as love, patience, compassion, and humanity itself are diminishing from people’s hearts,” he said.

Today ,the Sufi Cultural Program & Message of Peace Towards the Nation organized by the All India Sufi Sajjadanashin Council (AISSC) concluded successfully at Ghalib Academy, New Delhi.

“In such times, Sufism emerges as the greatest beacon of hope for the world. Sufism is not confined to any particular religion, caste, or community; rather, it is a message of humanity, love, compassion, and brotherhood. It is this path that unites hearts, strengthens society, and establishes peace in the world.”

He said the message delivered to the world by Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti from the soil of Ajmer was simple yet profound: “Love for all, hatred for none.”

“He fed the hungry, comforted the distressed, and embraced people of every faith and every walk of life. This is the true hallmark of Sufism. The noble Sufis have always regarded service to humanity as the highest form of worship and have strengthened the foundations of love, tolerance, and brotherhood in society,” he added.

Chishty said that as custodians of dargahs and khanqahs (spiritual centres) established by great Sufi saints, religious leaders today carry a greater responsibility in confronting the negativity spreading through society.

“We must stand firmly against hatred, bigotry, and divisiveness. We must pass on to the younger generation the teachings of Sufism that transform individuals into better human beings. If the world seeks peace, if society desires unity, and if humanity is to be preserved, then we must champion the spiritual power of Sufism,” he said.

He further stressed the need to preserve India’s “Ganga-Jamuni Tehzeeb” — the country’s composite culture, shared heritage, and traditions of communal harmony.

“For centuries, the dargahs and khanqahs of Sufi saints have served as centres of peace, love, and human unity, where people of every faith and social background gather without discrimination. This is India’s true strength, and indeed the essence of the Sufi message,” he said.

The religious leaders present at the event pledged to respond to hatred with love, violence with peace, and division with brotherhood.
