Islam is a religion of peace, love, harmony and gives the lesson of brotherhood to the entire human beings by categorically rejecting extremism and terrorism. These were the views of the speakers at Eid Milad-un-Nabi Conference here on Sunday at Pakistan Muslim League House.
Pakistan Muslim League Secretary General Senator Mushahid Hussain Sayed said Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) gave us the lesson of tolerance, patience and directed us to demonstrate these principles in our lives. "If we follow this lesson of tolerance, we will be successful in converting this society into a noble society," he said.
Senator Mushahid Hussain said that Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) practised throughout His life what He said. Hazarat Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) always preached to respect and love others and set several examples for us through his noble character, he added.
"Today, our problem is not law and order situation, not the economy but our actual problem is contradiction in our words and act," he said while lamenting the dual characters in one's personality. Islam has protected the rights of women, Senator Mushahid said adding it is now our religious and moral obligation to respect them and accept their due rights.
State Minister for Petroleum Naseer Khan Mengal stressed to understand the real spirit of Islam. Our success in this world and in the world hereafter would be only possible when we would follow the teachings of Islam and golden principles of Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH). He urged the Muslims to forget the petty differences and rank unity in their ranks so as to get tranquillity and success. "Islam does not allow extremism and terrorism at any cost," he said and exhorted the Muslims to prove the nobleness of their character through deeds.
