A Milad-un-Nabi march was held on Sunday under the aegis of the Minhaj-ul-Quran Youth League (MYL), in connection with the birth anniversary of the Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH).
The march began from Chandni Chowk and culminated at Committee Chowk and thousands of people from all walks of life, including workers and office-bearers of Minhaj-ul-Quran, from the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad participated in the march. The participants of the march chanted slogans and held placards inscribed with slogans such as “We are lovers of our Holy Prophet”, “We are the servants of our Holy Prophet” and “The month of happiness and blessings has arrived”. Many people were also holding posters of Minhaj-ul-Quran International chief patron Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri. Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri addressed the rally via telephone and greeted the participants on the arrival of Rabi-ul-Awal.
“The birth anniversary of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) is an occasion to demonstrate inter-religious unity and this continues to be the purpose behind the Milad March,” he said, adding that the message of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) was love and peace and he preached respect for others, brotherhood and reconciliation throughout his life.
He said that the country was passing through a critical time and under such circumstances, there was an urgent need to follow the teachings of the Holy Prophet (PBUH). Stressing the need to avoid confrontation, violence and disharmony, he said we should strive for unity.
“The remedy of all problems and ills of today lies in following the teachings of Holy Prophet (PBUH),” Dr Qadri said, adding that, “One’s faith remains incomplete without special love and reverence for the Holy Prophet (PBUH).”
Speaking on the occasion, Minhaj-ul-Quran Senior Vice Secretary General Sheikh Zahid Fayyaz said that the purpose of the march was to show love and respect for the Holy Prophet (PBUH). He said that the largest gathering of Eid Milad-un-Nabi in the world would be held on Rabi-ul-Awal 12 in Lahore, which would be addressed by Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri besides others.
Rawalpindi Youth League President Saeed Raja, General Secretary Mansoor Qasim and Milad March In-charge Haroon Mirza were also present at the occasion.
