Abstract
The family is a first social institution of every human on earth. Every one of us learns social skills and nurturing practices within the sphere of the family in early years of age. The social, moral, and cognitive development remains associated with the family members in this way. When age turns to adolescence, the academic journey enters at higher education institution i.e., University. During academic journey at university level students take social responsibilities on their shoulders – truly students think analytically on careers opting from the market and becoming independent in secondary and tertiary social spheres. This age group is very critical for young generation, where family members allow their sons and daughters to closely interact with people and build their own viewpoint. Unfortunately, this age group is involved in extremist and terrorist activities. The subjects of technologies, natural sciences, and social sciences are taught to become skillful professionals for getting maximum financial return in the society. Unfortunately, the syllabus related to forgiveness, tolerance, spirituality, religious harmony or the message of spiritual Saints is not explored and taught at required level. As a result students get a comprehensive knowledge on particular disciplines. The education of tolerance and interfaith harmony is not included anywhere in the course outlines and teaching practices – nobody can guarantee that such students would not become suicide bombing agents but the education of tolerance and interfaith harmony, the comprehensive teachings practices on tolerance can guarantee us on promoting the social integration, tolerance among the future generations. It is highly needed to develop syllabus on themes of tolerance, interfaith harmony, and message of spiritual Saints in Asia and over the world. The contents related tolerance and spiritual harmony can be included in the course of different disciplines. Sufi poetry, spiritual customs, norms are the applications of Sufi education. Beyond doubt, the comparative study of different religions is needed as well.
