Successful Muslim Festival Ends in London

In the largest gathering of Muslims in London, thousands of visitors converged in the 6th Global Peace and Unity festival, enjoying a platform of various speakers, performers and service providers.

“The festival is packed with activities, from sports, competitions, game-shows, games for children, conference, nasheeds, concerts and much more,” Mohamed Ali Harrath, the GPU chairman, told OnIslam.net.

Harrath was speaking at the two-day conference held at the ExCeL Exhibition Centre in Royal Victoria Dock, London, England and organized by the Islam Channel.

According to the Global Peace and Unity’s official website, the event, held on November 23, 24, is designed to promote dialogue and "global cohesion across all communities".

The gathering, which began in 2005, is the largest of its kind in Europe, drawing tens of thousands of visitors from 5 continents and 132 countries.

In addition to lectures by international speakers, the conference hosted other activities including an exhibition, stalls for promoting Islamic businesses and others for collection of charity donation, and evening nashīd concerts.

The meet has also seen high-profile speakers over the years, including London mayor Ken Livingstone, British MP George Galloway, Muslim scholar Jamal Badawi and Pakistan’s cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan.

As the only event of its nature and size, speakers included the former Anglican Bishop of Jerusalem, Rev Riah Abu el-Assal.

“We are part of the human race, irrespective of whether we are Muslims or Christians, we come from the same creator and we are called upon to protect that beautiful image of God in each and every one of us,” he said.
