MULTAN: Chairman Senate Yusuf Raza Gilani has said that that Islam is a religion of peace, unity and compassion, urging Muslims to embody the teachings of the Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (SAWW) in their lives.
He was speaking during a Mehfil-e-Milad, hosted by Member Provincial Assembly (MPA) Rana Iqbal Siraj, drew national leaders, prominent scholars, and renowned naat khawans.
Chairman Senate, Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani, addressing the main ceremony, underscored that Islam was a religion of peace and brotherhood, and the Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad’s (SAWW) teachings remain a guiding light for humanity.
