END RELIGIOUSLY MOTIVATED VIOLENCE.
The Taraba Muslims and Christians consultative forum of the Nigerian's Religious was created to cultivate harmony among the Nigerian's Religions and spiritual communities and foster their engagement with the Nigeria and it's guiding institutions in order to achieve a just, peaceful, and sustainable Nigeria. To accomplish this, we invite individuals and communities who are equally invested in attaining this goal.
The vision of the Taraba Muslims and Christians consultative forum of the Nigerian's Religions is of a just, peaceful and sustainable Nigeria in which:
1 Religiouns and spiritual communities live in harmony and contribute to a better Nigeria from their riches of wisdom and compassion.
2 Religiouns and cultural fears and hatreds are replaced with understanding and respect.
3 People everywhere come to know and care for their neighbors.
4The richness of human and religious diversity is woven into the fabric of communal, civil, societal and Nigeria life.
5The Nigerian's most powerful and influential institutions move beyond narrow self-interest to realize common good.
6The Nigeria and all life are cherished, protected,healed and restored.
7 All people commit living out their highest values and aspirations.
The Taraba Muslims and Christians consultative forum of the Nigerian's Religions seeks to promote interreligious harmony, rather than unity. The problem with seeking unity among religions is the risk of loss of the unique and precious character of each individual religious and spiritual tradition; this understanding is key to our framework. Interreligious harmony, on the other hand, is an attainable and highly desirable goal. Such an approach respects, and is enriched by, the particularities of each tradition. Moreover, within each tradition are the resources (philosophical, theological, and spiritual teachings and perspectives) that enable each to enter into respectful, appreciative and cooperative relationships with persons and communities of other traditions.

THE TARABA MUSLIMS AND CHRISTIAN'S CONSULTATIVE FORUM
Established mutual dialogue and conflict resolution between Muslims and
Christians in Nigeria (dust) principles that were not fed up with
the people of previous religions, and were not fanatical without
the various opinions and doctrines, but its Almighty saying: So he
preached to worshipers. Those who listen to the saying and
follow the best of it) (Al-Zumar 18 For this purpose, it was among
the principles of both religions: Religious Tolerance:
1 - That all the divine religions derive from one particular: God Almighty
said: “No religion has been passed on to you from what God
commanded, and which we have revealed to you, and what we
have commanded, through Abraham, and Abraham, and Abraham,
2 - and that the prophets are brothers do not differentiate between them
in terms of the message, and that the people of religions to believe
in all of them: God said: Luau We believe in Allah and what was
revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham and Ishmael
and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes, and that given to Moses and
Jesus, and that given to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction Between one of them and we are Muslims (136) Al-
Baqara
3 - And that the belief cannot be coerced, but rather that it must be
persuasive and contented. God Almighty said: There is no
compulsion in religion} Al-Baqarah {So do you hate people until
they are believers} Yunus
4 - And that the places of worship for divine religions are respected and
must be defended and protected for all the people of religions:
God Almighty said: Were it not for God to pay people with one
another, silos, silos, and whims of rituals would be destroyed.
5 - And that people whose differences in their religions should not lead to
killing each other, or transgressing one another, but rather must
cooperate in doing good and combating evil: God Almighty said:
And cooperate with righteousness and piety, and do not help with
help.
6 - And that the differentiation between people in life and with God is the
amount of good and righteousness that one of them offers to
himself and to people, and Al-Tabarani narrated: From God’s
servant, he said: The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and
peace be upon him, said: “All of them are God’s creatures. God
Almighty: {I honor you with God, may God protect you}
7 - and that the difference in religions does not preclude land and related
hospitality: God said: day lawful to you the good things and the
food of those given the book to you and yours is lawful to them
and chaste women from the believers and chaste women from
those who were given the Book before you table 5}
8 - And if people differ in their religions, they may argue with each other
in a good way, and within the limits of literature, argument and
persuasion: God Almighty said: Do not argue with the people of
the Book except with what is better. Spider 46
Indecency is not permissible with violators, nor can their creeds be
insulted, even if they are pagans: God Almighty said: Do not deny
those who pray without God, and they cursin
9 - If the nation is assaulted in its creed, aggression must be returned to
protect the faith and ward off strife: God Almighty said: Fight
them until they are not temptation and all religion is for God} Al-Anfal 39
God Almighty said: “May God forbade you from those who have fought
you in religion, and drive you out of your homes, and make sure
that yours is lost.”
10 - If a nation triumphs over those who assaulted it in religion, or wants
to rob it of its freedom, it is not permissible to take revenge on
them by forcing them to leave their religion, or persecuting them
in their beliefs, and it is only for them to recognize the authority of
the state and establish loyalty to it so that (they have what we
have and what they have for us.

1. Interfaith dialogue
The communication, dialogue and cooperation between different faiths
and religious groups.
This Organization aims to promote respect and collaboration between
different faiths and religions. As well as the Organization there are
several councils that work predominantly in the Nigeria and have
a focus on relationships between particular religions.
2.Intercultural dialogues
"Occurs when members of different cultural groups, who hold conflicting
opinions and assumptions, speak to one another in
acknowledgment of those differences".It builds upon the
concept of dialogue, which refers to at least two people holding a
conversation. And it builds upon the term intercultural, which is
typically used to refer to people communicating across differences
in nationality, race and ethnicity, or religion.
3. peace building
Peace building seeks to address the underlying causes of conflict, helping
people to resolve their differences peacefully and lay the
foundations to
We need to think differently – it’s time we stopped picking up the pieces
and started putting an end to the cycles of violence. It’s time we
invested more in peace building.
4. Conflict transformations
A generic, comprehensive term referring to actions and processes seeking
to alter the various characteristics and manifestations of violent
conflict by addressing the root causes of a particular conflict over
the long term. It aims to transform negative destructive conflict
into positive constructive conflict and deals with structural,
behavioral and attitudinal aspects of conflict. The term refers to
both the process and the completion of the process. As such, it
incorporates the activities of processes such as conflict prevention
and conflict resolution and goes farther than conflict settlement
or conflict Management
5. humanitarian actions
the humanitarian that it is an impartial and independent assessment of
needs—not a development plan—that determines what needs to
be done. Humanitarian action may in some cases de facto fit in a
development plan, but it is not determined by it. Importantly,
humanitarian actors will prioritize addressing humanitarian
needs even if the potential development dividends appear slim.
From a humanitarian perspective, investing in a hospital that risks
being damaged by fighting is still worth it: measures can be taken
to reduce risks to the facility and meanwhile hundreds of lives can
be saved.
6. Advocacy
As a tool for
Putting a problem on the agenda, providing a solution to that
problem and building support for acting on both the problem and
the solution”. This definition expresses an important idea: In a
digital and networked age, advocacy is not just about influencing
public policy, but also and first of all about influencing public
opinion.
The principles of Sharia in the religion of the prophets, which are the
interests of religion and the world, so that if you lose, the interests
of the world will not make you straight, but rather corruption,
sloppiness and a life.
1- Keeping the human soul
Because of that We ordained for the Children of Israel: that whoever kills
a person—unless it is for murder or corruption on earth—it is as
if he killed the whole of mankind; and whoever saves it, it is as if
he saved the whole of mankind. Our messengers came to them
with clarifications, but even after that, many of them continue to
commit excesses in the land. Alma’ida(32)
2- Keeping the worship
Permission is given to those who are fought against, and God is Able to
give them victory.
Those who were unjustly evicted from their homes, merely for saying,
“Our Lord is God.” Were it not that God repels people by means of
others: monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques—where
the name of God is mentioned much—would have been
demolished. God supports whoever supports Him. God is Strong
and Mighty. Al-Haj (40 )
3- Save money
When he gains power, he strives to spread corruption on earth, destroying
properties and lives. God does not like corruption. Baqara (205)
4- Keeping the mind
And God Almighty always warns a person to receive matters with his
mind, his mind, his reflection and his remembrance, because his
glory knows that if a person thinks, minds, remembers or
manages, he will end up with the same issue that pushes him from
harm and brings him benefit, and all that is in the universe is a
machine for the mind
In the creation of the heavens and the earth; in the alternation of night
and day; in the ships that sail the oceans for the benefit of
mankind; in the water that God sends down from the sky, and
revives the earth with it after it had died, and scatters in it all
kinds of creatures; in the changing of the winds, and the clouds
disposed between the sky and the earth; are signs for people who
understand. Baqara (164)
5- Keeping offspring
Those who accuse chaste women, then cannot bring four witnesses, whip
them eighty lashes, and do not ever accept their testimony. For
these are the immoral.
5. Except for those who repent afterwards, and reform; for God is
Forgiving and Merciful. Annur (5)
SHEIKH MUSA ALIYU
CHAIRMAN
These orders are agreed upon in all messages and in all religions, and they call it: “The Ten Commandments” are the essentials of spiritual life, they are the essentials of life from values. Say, “Come, let me tell you what your Lord has forbidden you: that you associate nothing with Him; that you honor your parents; that you do not kill your children because of poverty—We provide for you and for them; that you do not come near indecencies, whether outward or inward; and that you do not kill the soul which God has sanctified—except in the course of justice. All this He has enjoined upon you, so that you may understand.” And do not come near the property of the orphan, except with the best intentions, until he reaches maturity. And when you speak, be fair, even if it concerns a close relative. And fulfill your covenant with God. All this He has enjoined upon you, so that you may take heed. 153. This is My path, straight, so follow it. And do not follow the other paths, lest they divert you from His path. All this He has enjoined upon you, that you may refrain from wrongdoing. Al’an’am 151-153 SHEIKH MUSA ALIYU CHAIRMAN
God Almighty created the creation and made the creation a law of maintenance, It is his right and responsibility to establish for the creature a maintenance law. We now see that every inventor or maker puts his invention or the thing created by a maintenance law It is the constitution of life: it is the five principles First: Honoring the principle of creation O people! Fear your Lord, who created you from a single soul, and created from it its mate, and propagated from them many men and women. And revere God whom you ask about, and the parents. Surely, God is Watchful over you. Nisa’I 1 The second: honoring mankind We have honored the Children of Adam, and carried them on land and sea, and provided them with good things, and greatly favored them over many of those We created. Isra’I 70 Third: honoring human life We spread the earth, and placed stabilizers in it, and in it We grew all things in proper measure. 20. And in it We created livelihoods for you, and for those for whom you are not the providers. 21. There is not a thing but with Us are its stores, and We send it down only in precise measure. Hujir 19-21 Fourth: honoring the homeland and the settler 24. He said, “Fall, some of you enemies to one another. On earth you will have residence and livelihood for a while.” A’araf 24 Fifth: Honoring acquaintance 13. O people! We created you from a male and a female, and made you races and tribes, that you may know one another. The best among you in the sight of God is the most righteous. God is All-Knowing, Well-Experienced. Hujurat 13 SHEIKH MUSA ALIYU CHAIRMAN.
Why did the Prophet of Allah Muhammad peace be upon him, lived in the Arabian Peninsula between eight differ intent religions, without any problem, but now we in Nigeria live between the religion of Islam and Christian, but the problems and temptation spread among us, the matter needs righteousness. Allah say in SURAT HAJ (Those who believe, and those who are Jewish, and the Sabena’s, and the Christians, and the Zoroastrians, and the Polytheists—God will judge between them on the day of Resurrection. God is witness to all things. And in SURAT FUSSILAT say (And of His signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon, do not bow down to the sun, nor to the moon, but bow down to God, Who created them both, if it is Him that you serve. 38. But if they are too proud—those in the presence of your Lord praise Him night and day, and without ever tiring.) Sheikh Musa Aliyu Chairman.
