As an open-minded, considerate person, Dr Mulla was convinced that many of the problems afflicting human beings are due to error rather than to malice. His endeavours in the field of communication – his intellectual ijtihad – were directed at redressing fallacious argument and eristic discourse, intended solely to impose a viewpoint, instead of being prompted by a sincere quest for truth. He held that the solution to problems lay in honest, objective and direct dialogue and in subordinating an individualistic slant to that of “collective thinking”, the best tool we have to ensure coexistence in society.
In keeping with these principles, the BMH Foundation organises events – principally symposiums, conference cycles and round table discussions – at which people with a diversity of opinions strive to generate new, consensual ideas.
On 18 May 2011, Dr Bahige Mulla delivered a lecture entitled, “Relations with the Christians in the Qur‘ān and in Muslim Tradition”, as part of the conference cycle, “Elucidating to understand – for correct relations between Christians and Muslims”, organised by the Diocese of Córdoba.
