This Milad shows our sincere belief and love for our beloved Prophet, they said. They stressed upon the people to follow the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was honest, upright, sincere, benevolent and a person of highest degree of character. When Arabs lived in dark age, Muhamamd (PBUH) showed them light. He is the Prophet of humanity who taught us the means of living. If we follow his teachings success will surely be ours and we will get over all the hurdles that we come across in the world, he said.
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was a perfect example of a honest, just, merciful, compassionate, truthful, and brave human being. He strove solely for the sake of God and his reward in the hereafter. Moreover, in all his actions and dealings he was ever mindful and fearful of God, said Anjuman-e-Sharie Shian.
