ISLAMABAD: The 46th National Rehmatul lil Aalameen Conference will commence today (Monday) in the federal capital to mark the official celebrations of Eid Milad-un-Nabi (PBUH) in a befitting manner.

National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser will be the chief guest on the inaugural day of the Conference. After the distribution of prizes, Mehfil-Na’at would be held in which renowned Na’at reciters would pay homage to the Holy Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) by reciting verses of praise for him.

Two sessions are scheduled to take place on the second day of the Conference. President Arif Alvi would preside over the first session while Prime Minister Imran Khan would chair the other session of the conference.
