U.I.C Mawlid Conference in Chicago
July 30 to 31, 2005
Pamphlet

While we attest to faith that all praise along with gratifications belong to Allaah (S.W.T)
The Omnipotent Master of Creation we most sincerely pray this missive reaches your
honorable noble person in the best disposition of health and exquisite spirit.

The Universal Islamic Center (UIC) is a non-profit organization that affirms the reality of universally recognized values rooted in and arising from our faith in the incompatible Lord of Majesty and Grace, Almighty God (Allah). These sacred values include freedom, love, compassion, peace, justice, tolerance, harmony, beauty and unity of good purpose. Ostensibly these values are at the very core of human society and there can be no effective and sustained socio-economic political and inter-religious interactions,
cooperation and development without them.

It is very significant to acknowledge that despite US government track record on improving our country's good relations abroad through extensive engagement and dissemination of information towards verbalization of freedom, peaceful coexistence, democracy and sustained friendship with foreign nations and audiences, recent world events culminated by the appalling Newsweek magazine debacle has very unfortunately induced an already growing culture of hatred and hostility against USA. The consequences of this allegation is so volatile to the extent that several ill-informed influential Muslim leaders are quickly invigorated to turn even the very rational and moderate minded Muslims to emotional exercises whereby violent riots and reckless demonstrations are strongly held in constraint, and negative tensions of senseless anti-Americanism still remain extremely high in certain parts of the Muslim and non Muslim World.

In consequence to this, we as concerned Muslims conscious of our moral responsibility and accountability under the umbrella of the Universal Islamic Center (UIC), Insha-Allaah intend to hold our 13th Annual International Conference on the life history and exemplary characteristic (SEERAH) of the “Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) as The Perfect Example for Peace in the World” from Saturday 30th of July to Sunday 31 of July 2005, at The Mosque Maryam 7351 S. Stony Island in Chicago Illinois. The program is scheduled to begin from 10am to 5pm each day. Several prominent Muslim leaders, organizations, Youth Delegates from around the nation and the world have been invited to attend. The Theme of the conference is :

"Islam in Essence, as the Beacon of Light for World Peace.”

Furthermore, as people of The Islamic Faith, our Conference seeks to establish a forum with absolute commitment and deliberate intent to optimize better understanding and a more realistic perception of our country's image, as the most religiously pluralistic world that embraces all religions and promotes interracial, inter-religious interaction , reconciliation , mutual respect and understanding, cooperation and friendship. We at the UIC believe that an event such as this can well contribute by driving a point with sound resolutions to the entire world of Islam that USA quintessentially is founded on the principles of religious diversity, Freedom of Expression, Tolerance, and inter-religious cooperation. Remarkably United States of America respects all religions and as such would never condone, act, behave nor sanction violation nor desecration of the Holy Qur'aan or any other religious scripture or book. It simply goes against the very fabric of our democratic environment beliefs and cultural values.

Therefore it is our great pleasure and honor to invite your noble persons who in obedience to Almighty God Allah stand for the principles of peace, justice, equality, God Given freedom, spiritual upliftment, socio-economic, political development, atonement and reconciliation, to attend and participate. In conclusion, we would most highly appreciate your kind support for this cause and with the uttermost assurance of our highest esteem; we deem your noble persons presence and participation as key for the conference’s success.
Allaahu-Akbar, Wa Li-Llaahil-Hamd, ’Alaikum Warhamatu-Llaahi Wa Barakaatuh!

Yours most sincerely
For and on behalf of the Universal Islamic Center
Chicago, IL, USA.
