A series of seminars and Maafil-e-Naat are being held at the Islamia University of Bahawalpur in connection with the Holy month of Rabi-ul-Awal. A grand seminar and Naat Khawani was held at Baghdad ul Jadeed Campus. Prof. Dr. Sheikh Shafique Rehman Dean Faculty of Islamic Learning presided the seminar while Prof. Dr. Saad Siddiqui, Chairman, Department of Uloom-e-Islamia, University of the Punjab Lahore, Prof. Dr. Moeen ud Din Hashmi, Associate Professor, Department of Uloom-e-Islamia, Allama Iqbal Open University Islamabad and Syed Tabish Alvari, Ex-MPA delivered extensive lecture.
The male and female students showing best performance in Interfaculty Naat Khawani Competitions rendered beautiful verses of naat in the ceremony. The Speaker said that the life of the Holy Prophet PBUH is the grand example for every human being to follow.
The Holy Prophet PBUH preached Islam on the basis of his high quality character and announced his Prophet hood on the basis of his truthfulness and honesty, demanded evidence of this fact from the Quraish tribe which was duly approved by them. Due to his high quality character, the life of people of Arab land changed all together and those who used to bury their daughters alive now began to look after the birds in their nests.
The guest speaker said that the first ever Wahi (divine revelation) begins with IQ’RA (read) and seeking of education for all Muslims was made the first priority and was ordered to travel upto China to fulfill their educational needs which was geographically very difficult as at that time Confucisim was spreading in that region.
The speakers presented these views in a seminar held on the occasion of holy month of Rabi-ul-Awwal. They expressed the dignity of the Holy Prophet PBUH and said that the meaning of Muhammad PBUH is that who is praised again and again. The Holy Prophet PBUH for the first time ever eliminated the discrimination and ensured the supremacy of the merit. The Muslims got superiority over other nations due to education.
