A conference in Langwarrin involving representatives of six major religions is being hailed as "the first of its kind".

More than 300 people from all over Victoria attended The Conference of World Religions 2014 held by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association Victoria as it's Bait-ul-Salam (House of Peace) mosque.

Leaders from the Islamic, Christian, Jewish, Hindi, Sikh and Budhist faiths spoke about the application of peace and social harmony through the teachings of their religions.

The mosque's leader, Imam Wadood Janud, spoke about Islam's "true and peaceful teachings".

Dr Rev. Alexander Yule represented Christianity, Rabbai Ralph Genende, Judaism; Hojun Futen, Buddhism; Jasbir Singh, Sikhism; and Bhakta Dasa, Hinduism. The conference was moderated by Norman Currie, director and producer of Channel 31.

"The conference was a great success and it brought various communities and world's major  religions and their followers under one roof, and more importantly, everyone who came on podium agreed that their respective religion spreads peace and harmony in the society", Ahmadiyya Muslim Association Victoria spokesman Aziz Bhatti said.

He said members of the Ahmadiyya community were "working hard for the cause of peace and love for all, hatred for none".

"This message is more important and more crucial for world peace than it has ever been".

Guests at the conference included were Members of Parliament, a mayor, councilors, an assistant police commissioner and police, government officials, members of an interfaith network and academics.

National president of the Ahmadiyya community Imam Inam-ul-Haq Kausar emphasized the need for "mutual understanding and respect between the followers of different faiths in order to achieve peace and harmony in today's world".
