Chicago World Peace Conference on True Family Values Great Success!

Mayor and members of Chicago City Council in their messages to Dr. Michael Jenkins, Archbishop Stallings and other conference organizers, expressed their greetings and appreciation for such an initiative for the improvement of the family in the last 22 years. 

Imam Elahi received an opportunity to address hundreds of religious leaders from all over the country during the morning gathering and also the evening banquet. 

He spoke about the seriousness of family covenant in the Quran. A wonderful journey that starts with peace, love and mercy and aims to keep the presence of Divine deputy-ship on this planet. Reflecting on preparation for marriage, Imam Elahi mentioned that focusing on the beauty of belief, brain and behavior of a life partner should come before the beauty of body and appearance.

Imam Elahi spoke about the recent changes in definition of family institution in America, the breakdown of family foundation, increase in the children out of wedlock, chaotic number of divorces, unfortunate absence of safety and security in family relationships.
Returning to family values mentioned in God's messages would be the best way to fix the family foundation and save the present and future generations.

Also spoke about certain family values including faith, fairness, love, respect, responsibility, support, modesty, trust, generosity, courtesy and compassion.

He was amazed and humbled with the level of welcoming spirit and encouragement that he received by the religious leaders of diverse denominations.
