The University of Agriculture Faisalabad (UAF) arranged a seminar on teaching and sacrifices of Hazrat Imam Hussain (R.A) on Wednesday at Iqbal Auditorium. Arranged by the Senior Tutor Office, the seminar was chaired by UAF Vice Chancellor Professor Dr Muhammad Iqbal Zafar while former vice chancellor Mohyuddin University Azad Kashmir Dr Muhammad Ishaq Qureshi was the key speaker.
Dr Muhammad Ishaq Qureshi said the day of Ashura reminds us of supreme sacrifices of the martyrs of Karbala. He said Hazrat Imam Hussain (R.A) preferred sacrificing his life instead of bowing before oppression. It gives us a message to sacrifice life to achieve the higher goal, he added.
Dr Qureshi said that safeguarding the truth was superior to protection of one's own life. He said the best way to present tributes to Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA) and martyrs of Karbala, was to follow their teachings. He said the sacrifices of Hazrat Imam Hussain (R.A) give us a lesson of patience and tolerance. Dr Muhammad Iqbal Zafar said that such a sacrifice and steadfastness by Hazrat Hussain (RA) was unmatched in the history of the world.
