Message from All Ceylon Jamiyyathul Ulama on the 69^th Independence Day of Sri Lanka

The All Ceylon Jamiyyathul Ulama has the pleasure in releasing this message of blessings to all citizens of the country on the day of celebrating the 69^th Independence Day of our motherland, Sri Lanka.
Let us all unite to eliminate racism from our beautiful country. We should take forward this country towards development and prosperity living in peace and coexistence. This can be achieved only by defeating racism and establishing unity among the communities.
Our prayers and expectations are that all Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims and Christians in this multi-ethnic society should strive to achieve prosperity, development and progress by following the respective religious advice and developing the ethic of respecting other religions.
The All Ceylon Jamiyyathul Ulama, therefore, supplicates to God, the Almighty, to shower His blessings on every Sri Lankan citizen who shall make effort to bring unity, peace, coexistence and reconciliation through which build a prosperous Nation.

May Allah, the Almighty bless all of us.
Our country is preparing all arrangements to celebrate the 69^th Independence Day on the forthcoming Saturday, the 04^th February, 2017.
Our community has devoted immensely to achieve the Independence and our political, social and religious leaders have shown their patriotism towards this country. The All Ceylon Jamiyyathul Ulama wishes that we should commemorate this event with the remembrance that, we Muslims have been living in this country in a peaceful manner without involving in any sort of activities towards separatism or hatred to any other religions.
The ACJU requests all Muslims to hoist the National flag at houses, schools and trades, while conducting programs and other activities along with other communities. The ACJU also reminds that joining hand in hand with the other communities in common work strategies and Shramadana activities will lead to social unity and coexistence. Wassalam.
