Updated on Mar 18, 2016 03:54 pm IST

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has praised Islam for its message of peace and harmony and described Sufism as one of its greatest contributions. He said this while addressing a global audience on the opening day of the World Sufi Forum in New Delhi on Thursday. “Of the 99 names of Allah, none stand for force and violence and the first two names denote compassionate and merciful. Allah is Rahman and Raheem…Those who spread terror in the name of religion are anti-religious,” Modi said.
