Seminar on Prophet Muhammad’s Life and Teachings Held in Capital
A special seminar titled “The Life and Teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)” was held in the capital on Saturday to mark the holy Eid-e-Miladunnabi (PBUH), the birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
The seminar was organized by Ashiq-e-Rasul General Officials’ Organization (ARGOO) at the Institution of Diploma Engineers, Bangladesh (IDEB) auditorium.
Speakers at the seminar condemned attempts to obstruct the observance of Eid-e-Miladunnabi and called upon the government to ensure that devotees can celebrate the occasion peacefully and without hindrance. They described the birth of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as a day of immense joy for the entire creation.
Imam Professor Dr. Qudrat A Khoda, a prominent leader of Muhammadi Islam, attended the programme as the chief guest.
In his speech, Professor Qudrat A Khoda stressed the importance of deep love for Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), following his life and teachings, spiritual purification and developing good character.
“Religious teachings attain their true fulfillment in human life when they are reflected in a person’s heart, character and conduct,” he said.
He also highlighted the contribution of Syed Mahbub-e-Khoda Dewanbagi Huzur to the observance of Eid-e-Miladunnabi in Bangladesh. According to him, historical documents presented by Dewanbagi Huzur established that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) passed away on 1 Rabi’ al-Awwal and was born on 12 Rabi’ al-Awwal.
Professor Qudrat A Khoda further said that Sirat-un-Nabi programmes were previously observed in Bangladesh, while Eid-e-Miladunnabi later began to be observed at the state level following Dewanbagi Huzur’s continued efforts. He said devotees of the Prophet would remember his contribution with gratitude.
Former member of the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague Justice Md. Awlad Ali, Bangladesh Supreme Court Justice Dr. Syed Mohammad Ziaul Karim, and Vice-Chancellor of Global University Bangladesh Professor Emeritus Dr. Anisuzzaman addressed the seminar as distinguished guests.
Among others, Nazrul researcher and former Additional Secretary of the Government of Bangladesh Md. Zakir Hossain, Principal of Sirajul Islam Medical College and Hospital Dr. Dewan Farukul Islam, former Joint Secretary Mohammad Nurul Islam, Associate Professor of the Department of Persian Language and Literature at the University of Dhaka Dr. Ahsanul Hadi, and Senior Advocate of the Bangladesh Supreme Court Md. Ziaur Rahman also spoke at the event.
Judges, university teachers, researchers, physicians, government officials, lawyers, engineers, Islamic scholars and professionals from different fields attended the seminar.
The programme was presided over by Dr. Peer Mohammad, former Additional Secretary to the Government of Bangladesh and Convener of Ashiq-e-Rasul General Officials’ Organization (ARGOO).
