Towards Global Peace

OUR FOUNDER

Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

Maulana Wahiduddin Khan (1925 – 2021) was an Islamic spiritual scholar who adopted peace as the mission of his life. Known for his Gandhian views, he considered non-violence as the only method to achieve success.

“One who goes in fear of God while dealing with rights of others, is one who truly venerates Him; one who loves other human beings, is one who really loves his Creator.”

“The greatest success in this world is to live life in such a manner that you should not have an iota of negative thought against any person. You should depart from this world with a totally positive mindset. This is my last discovery in this world.”
