Religious Harmony

Works on Religious Harmony


“Conquering the human hearts is the real religious harmony” – Yembal Thajammul Mohammad.

The renowned (Islamic) Tamil writer Yembal Thajammul Mohammad is an award winner of Islamic Literary Association for his harmonious works on the bases of Islam.

He wrote and published “Islam Kattum Samaya Nallinakkam (Tamil)” as an authentic work by his research skill on August 1998 as a mark of India’s Golden Jubilee Celebrations of independence. This book was dedicated to non – Muslim brethren. It was well received by the Tamil audience as well as the religious scholars. So it got an immediate success.

Then the English translation of his Tamil original “Religious Harmony – an Islamic Doctrine” was published in millennium 2000. This is the first book in English on religious harmony as envisaged in Islam. It shows through the Holy Quran and Sunnah that Islam never sanctions intolerance and persecutions of other faiths. Thus this book is the right antidote to religious extremism in any form. This book was dedicated in all humility to the great cause of world peace and universal harmony. (This book is an award winner of Islamic Research Centre of Scripture & Culture, Inamkulathur, Trichy)

In September 2005, a research paper on “Quranic View of Other Religions” was presented as lead paper by the author in The All India Seminar on Interpreting the Scriptures, Hermeneutics of Sacred writings organized by The School of Religions, Philosophy & Humanist Thought, Madurai Kamaraj University, under the auspices of DRS – SAP – UCG. Then the research paper published as a book.

So many articles on religious harmony written by the author were published in Tamil magazines and special numbers. His works on this subject became trend-setters in many circles irrespective of religion and being referred widely.

His sincere and serious harmonious works were much appreciated by Arch Bishop M.Arokiasamy, Madurai; Dhavath Thiru Kundrakudi Ponnambala Adigalar ; Dato Sri. Sami Vellu, Minister of Works, Malaysia; Al-Moulvi S. M. Moideen Madani, Representative, Ministry of Islamic Affairs & Guidance, K. S. A; Rev. Father Amudhan Adigal, Prof. K. M. Kadar Mohideen, National Secretary of IUML; Captain N. A. Ameer Ali ; Kavikko Abdul Rahman and many more right thinking scholars.

Before publishing all these books, in 1994, “The Hero as Prophet ( On Heroes and Hero-Worship and the Heroic in History )” by Thomas Carlyle who was a great historian and litterateur – was published in Tamil by the author. This is the very first translation in Tamil. By this, a world classic literature was introduced to the Tamil world with harmonious spirit. The Tamil title of the translation is “Thoodhu Vandha Veerar”.

“Islam and the west” by Prince Charles also translated in the same year by the author in the title of “Islamum Merkku Nadugalum”.

The author is keen about promoting the real religious harmony.

Without religious harmony, we cannot even think a civilized, peaceful world. So we hope that the author like Yembal Thajmmul Mohammad will continue to give many more works as the above mentioned books which will help to further ennoble the minds.
