‘Follow the Prophet (PBUH) and fight extremism’

Prime minister urges nation to follow Holy Prophet (PBUH)’s teachings for peaceful, prosperous society

In his message on Eid Miladun Nabi, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has urged the nation to follow the teachings of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in fighting “all kinds of extremist beliefs”.

The premier said that the basic requisite to express love and respect for the Prophet (PBUH) is to follow his Sunnah and teachings including unity, tolerance, fraternity, harmony, and the spirit of sacrifice and reconciliation.

“The Prophet (PBUH) never commanded about a single thing which he never implemented in his own life. The society will grow into an exemplary society right from the day we start practically implementing the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in our lives,” he said, felicitating the nation on the revered day.

Furthermore, the premier said that through the Prophet (PBUH), the Almighty guided the humanity towards the path of success and triumph.

“Islam is the religion of nature and blessings. It is the religion of tolerance, patience, religious harmony, respect for humanity, forbearance and compassion,” he added.

“Almighty is the Creator of human nature and disposition and for the betterment of His creation, He bestowed them with the religion Islam, which is very close and compatible to the human nature. This is the best gift for the mankind.”

Sharif said the personality of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is the true reflection of the religion of nature. The virtues of excellence that are required for the realization of humanity, have not only been taught by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) but also been implemented by him in his own life.

Hundreds of instances came in the life of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) when instead of taking revenge he used the policy of patience, forgiveness, pardon, reconciliation and dialogue.

The prime minister also resolved that his government, which has also embarked upon the journey of prosperity, will soon be successful in achieving the goals of development. He also prayed to Allah to forgive shortcomings and bless the country with the benediction of the Prophet (PBUH).
