Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate World Sufi Forum in New Delhi today. More than 200 Indian and international delegates, including Sufi Shuyukh, spiritual leaders, scholars, academicians and masters of Sufism, are participating in the four day event. <br/><br/>It is being organized by All India Ulama and Mashaikh Board (AIUMB), the apex body of Sufi Dargahs in India. The World Sufi Forum is being organised in a bid to spread Islam's message of peace and tolerance to counter the rising global extremism. <br/><br/>The conference is expected to debate on how Sufi teaching can prevent global terrorism. It will also debate on how to guide the Muslim community away from sectarian division. The organizers said the debate on role of women in Islam will also be conducted in the international conference. <br/><br/>The All India Ulama and Mashaikh Board said it is high time to create a platform to ponder over the radical interpretations of Islam by terror groups for political gains. The Sufi Conference is expected to come out with a declaration against extremism and Wahabism in the last day of the event to be convened in the Ramlila Maidan.
