The Shia Imami Ismaili Tariqah and Religious Education Board (ITREB) recently organised a Seerat Conference at a local hotel here. The conference revolved around the theme "The Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) as a Symbol of Tolerance" and saw many eminent scholars from across the country present papers on the importance of tolerance in light of the Holy Prophet's teachings.
Chief Guest, Muhammad Rashad Daureeawo, High Commissioner of Mauritius while addressing the audience said that tolerance was the dire need of human societies today as impatience and intolerance is rampant across the world. The life of the Holy Prophet (SAW) was an example of full of tolerance and patience, the human society has not produced any other examples or personality like him to signify tolerance.
Professor Dr Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq, Dean of Shariah and Law Department of International Islamic University, Islamabad in his address said that "the message of Islam was spread with love and peace; the purpose of preaching and teachings of the holy Prophet (PBUH) was not focused on gaining victory over regions, nations and countries but it was focused on winning the souls and hearts of the people. The hearts and souls cannot be won by force, intolerance, injustice and disrespect." He said that the life of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) was a symbol of peace not only for Muslim societies but for the entire mankind.
Professor Perwaiz Hayat of ITREB Pakistan cited many events from the Seerah as examples of tolerance, demonstrated by the Holy Prophet (SAW) during his life.
Speaking on tolerance and its importance as highlighted by the Seerah Mubarak of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), Dr Sajid Subahani said that the life of the Holy Prophet was the best example to follow and bring peace and prosperity in society. The conference was attended by members from different walks of life and was well appreciated.-PR
