Quotes from Dr zakir Hussain, 3rd Prseident of India

"Instead of making the ramifications of theology and jurisprudence the focus of religious studies, we have to provide in our syllabus those aspects that would strengthen the foundations of life, which would give the right direction to thought and actions, which would harmonise life with the laws of nature, and which would stir the soul and move the hearts, which would offer morality to character and strength to personality.

Religion then, would not be a weapon to fight but would give live a purpose and meaning. It would provide moral and spiritual assets for it. It would establish a link with longing for higher values."

How right he was!
