BTTN held seminar on occasion of Eid Milad-ul- Nabi
QUETTA (APP): Balochistan Think Tank Network (BTTN) organized an in-house seminar at its Conference Hall on the occasion of Eid- Milad-ul-Nabi (SAW).
BTTN head Brig Agha Ahmad Gul ® said the life of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) is full of guidance. One can learn a lot from him. Common amnesty at the time of the Conquest of Mecca is a great act of forgiveness, teaching us to also learn to forgive. Also, the wisdom he showed at the place of Hudaibiya where he reached a treaty with the Quraysh to perform Hajj peacefully the next year rather than warring with the Quraysh is what speaks volumes of his leadership and statesmanship characterism, said a press release.
Earlier, Asadullah Raisani formally began the event by quoting one of the famous Hadith of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), “An Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also, a White has no superiority over a Black nor a Black has any superiority over a White except by piety and good action.”
He also emphasized on the Prophet Muhammad‘s (PBUH) character as one of the greatest law-givers of all time. He quoted different Hadith where the Holy Prophet (PBUH) has clearly given principles and laws to run a society.
Research Director Dr. Maria Malik said in her addressing that the Holy Prophet (PBUH) was sent as an example for all humanity and not for Muslims alone.
She discussed the Holy Prophet (PBUH) as the guide, the leader, and the guided one. She quoted several great influential non-Muslim personalities who have praised the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) for his simple life full of teachings for the whole humanity. Her talk included the comments of prominent thinkers including George Bernard Shaw, Annie Besant, Micheal H. Hart, Gandhi, and Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje et cetera.
Research Assistant Mr. Sanaullah spoke on the Holy Prophet Muhammad‘s (PBUH) political foresight. Mr. Sanaullah called the Charter of Medina and Treaty of Hudaibiyah the masterstrokes of the prophet (PBUH) for these two earned him the status of one of the greatest diplomats of all times.
Research Intern Hafiz Muhammad Shiraz spoke on the Holy Prophet‘s (PBUH) leadership during war and peace times. He argued that what the West realized regarding human rights in the last century i.e., the 20th century, the Prophet (PBUH) had given clear commands to humanity long ago on these lines.
For instance, he emphasized the rights of women, minorities, and prisoners of war including many other such rights. Also, he commanded Muslims to respect the rights of people and not harm the women, aged, children, and bishops during wars.
A short biofilm on the life of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) was also played before the concluding remarks of the event.
It was composed and edited by Research Intern Ms. Sadia Zahra, the voiceover was done by Research Assistant Ms. Manahil Bazai, and the script was written by Asadullah Raisani.
