Sheikh Mahmud al-Majzub together with influential leaders of Buddhist and Christian participated in the third annual congress in a peace movement to appease hatred and hostility within the four territories of Southern Thailand namely Pattani, Narathiwat, Yala and Satun. Muslim delegates following Sheikh Mahmud al-Majzub include Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Mustafa Kamil Ayub, Dr. Badrul Amin and followers. Delegates were received in Golok by General Phicait Wijason, military leader of Southern Thailand and transported to Yala from Tak Bai in a private military helicopter.
 Praprom Wachirayan, head of the Buddhist monks in Bangkok, Joseph Pran, Catholic Priest Leader of Surat Thani and Suriyad NGO Envoy for Peace were eagerly awaiting the arrival of Sheikh Mahmud al-Majzub and Muslim delegates in Yala. It was reported that about 500 participants, majority Muslims, attended the peace event in the modest auditorium. The key agenda of the Peace Congress was to invoke peace, abjure aggression and transgression as well as establish consensus and peace based on righteousness of each religious' teachings. Sheikh Mahmud, in his address, said that he strongly opposed the past cruelty and aggression and those who misuse and exploit religion to uphold their oppression. Head of the Buddhist monk, Paprom Wachirayan, fully supported Sheikh Mahmud's views and declared commitment to the peace agenda with the ruling out of artillery or military resolution.
.
The General and his deputy admitted to the crime and violation of the military army, which involved the assasination of the imam (head of the Muslim community) and the killings of the Muslims in Southern Thailand. Concluding from the peace discussion, the following resolution was agreed upon. Leaders of the different religions were to work closely with the people and abide by the king's orders to strengthen the economy of the community in Southern Thailand. To enrich the Peace Congress, other programmes like educational speeches and activities on modern farming techniques were also included in the agenda especially to the Muslim community.

Malik Bin Dinar Mosque in Kerala lies one of the significant history in the advent of Islam in India. According to the villagers, history sets from long time ago about a king in Kerala who witnessed the miracle of Rasulullah s.a.w., when the prophet s.a.w split the moon into two. The king was astounded by the miracle and sent delegates to look for the prophet that was chosen by Allah. As soon as the news of prophet Muhammad s.a.w. reached the king, he embraced Islam instantaenously. The king then requested that ulamas visit India to teach and spread Islam to the people in India. The delegates sent to spread Islam were led by Malik Bin Dinar. However, Malik Bin Dinar left Kerala once his mission was accomplished.
