Children’s Seerat Conference was held yesterday under the aegis of Hamdard Naunehal Assembly Karachi chapter at a local hotel. Speaking on the occasion, Mrs. Sadia Rashid, President, Hamdard Foundation Pakistan said that the Companions of Holly Prophet (PBUH) had impressed the whole world by adopting his praiseworthy qualities and as a result half of the world came into the fold of Islam.

‘Today’s Muslims lack these commendable qualities, that’s why they are backward and be in the need of support from unfamiliar people in every walk of life. Should they adopt the qualities of Holy Prophet (PBUH) and follow the principles of Islam in letter and spirit, there is no reason that they would not be able to overcome their troubles and get their lost glory’, she said, adding ‘the life of Holy Prophet (PBUH) is the best role model not only for Muslims but all human beings.

‘Allah Almighty says in holy Qur’an about Holy Prophet (PBUH): “We sent thee not, but a mercy for all creatures” (21: 107). And “He who obeys the Messenger obeys Allah: (4: 80). Thus obeying holy Prophet (PBUH) is tantamount to obey the Allah and the only way to get close to Allah’, she said and added ‘it should be the axis and center of every Muslim’s life to follow the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and that is the only way of successful life and a guarantee for salvation.’

The Chief Guest of Children’s Seerat Conference, Ms. Naheed Ahmed performed the ‘Rasm-i-Bismillah of three children, Ibrahim Naeem from Karachi, and Umm-i-Rooman and Muhammad Haris from Sahiwal, Punjab.
