Anjuman Auqaf organises conference in Srinagar

Srinagar, Sep 27: Anjuman Auqaf Jama Masjid Srinagar on Friday organised a conference titled "Rehmat-al Lil Aalameen" at the historic central Jamia Masjid Srinagar to observe the blessed birth of the Prophet of Mercy Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (SAW).

According to a press note, renowned scholars from the valley highlighted various aspects of the life of the Prophet (SAW) while naatkhans recited praises in the honour of the Last Messenger of Allah (SAW).

“The event was supposed to be presided over by Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir Dr Moulvi Muhammad Umar but he continues to be under house arrest by the authorities, preventing him from attending this blessed gathering,” the press release said.

In their addresses, the speakers said that the Prophet's (SAW)  life serves as a guiding light for Muslims throughout history. They said that while Islam is flourishing globally, Muslims seem to be drifting away from Islamic teachings. The main reason for this disconnect is the failure to incorporate the universal principles of Islam and the Prophet's (SAW) character into their lives, they added.

Among the scholars who spoke were Maulana Shaukat Hussain Keing, Maulana Masroor Abbas Ansari, Maulana M S Rahman Shams, Maulvi Ghulam Nabi Bukhari, and Mr Muhammad Rafiq Zargar, who highlighted various aspects of the Prophet's life and urged Muslims to adopt the Prophetic way of life as their guiding principle.
