The Chancellor of the Sir Syed University of Engineering
& Technology (SSUET), Karachi, Engr Mohammad Adil Usman, has said that the
Seerat of Prophet Hazrat Mohammed (Peace be upon him) and the Quran are
essentially synonymous.
"Quran is the mirror in which the full-fledged life
picture of the prophet can be seen. We shall be following the Holy Prophet, if
sincerely following the Quran in its totality,” he observed during his address
at the Jalsa-e-Seerat-un-Nabi organized by SSUET's Literary Art and Culture
Forum.
Engr Adil Usman said if the seerat quality of Prophet
Muhammed (PBUH) is imbibed in our lives, it can transform impossibility into
possibility.
“Our Holy Prophet extracted mankind from darkness into light
by leading them to Deen-e-Islam. He established the first welfare Islamic state
in Madina and gave a new turn to the human history,” the Chancellor remarked.
Engr Adil Usman pointed out that success can be achieved
with total "Tawakkal" on Allah and by imbibing the seerat of Holy
Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) in our lives
On the occasion Allama Dr Noor Ahmed Shahtaaz, Director
Shaikh Zaid Islamic Centre, delivered an enlightening speech on the life and
message of Holy Prophet Hazrat Mohammad (Peace be Upon Him).
“We cannot have access to Allah without pursuing the
guidance provided by the Prophet. No knowledge is against knowledge, and Islam
appreciates every kind of learning. There is no harm in getting knowledge, but,
of course, in begging. It is by nature that every man wants freedom. The
Prophets were not against human freedom, but they set certain boundaries of
freedom,” Allama Noor Ahmed Shah Taaz stated.
Famous Naat Khwans Mahmood-ul-Hasan Ashrafi, Muhammad Haris
Kamal, Haris Ahmed and Osama Farooqui enlightened the guests with soul-stirring
naats.
Earlier the SSUET students, Shah Zaib Rehmani and Tayyaba
Fasih, in their speeches in English and Urdu respectively highlighted the
Seerat of Hazrat Mohammad (PBUH).
On the occasion students of the university presented
Qaseeda’e Burda Shareef and Salam. The event concluded with the Dua by Allama
Mufti Naeemi of Darul Uloom Naeemia.
