Rawalpindi:Punjab Arts Council organized Naat competition in collaboration with Bazm-e-Ahbaab-e-Qalam Pakistan, as part of the celebrations for Eid Milad-un-Nabi. The event was presided over by Muhammad Sharif Shad, with Naseem Sehar as the chief guest.

Sajjad Hussain, Director of the Arts Council, the founder and president of Bazm-e-Ahbaab-e-Qalam Pakistan, Ali Asghar Samar, and Professor Hafiz Usman Ahmed participated as honorary guests. Muhammad Sharif Shad said that the praise of the Prophet (PBUH) will continue until the Day of Judgment, since our Prophet (PBUH) is the Allah's last Messenger.

Chief guest Naseem Sehar said that the Prophet (PBUH) taught us the way of life, and by following his teachings, we can achieve success both in this world and the hereafter. He also highlighted that contemporary Naat compositions not only reflect the life of the Prophet (PBUH) but also discuss the declining state of the Muslim Ummah and include elements of preaching, aiming to spread the teachings of the Prophet (PBUH) in society.

Sajjad Hussain, the Director of the Arts Council, in his speech, said that the State of Madinah is a symbol of justice, equality, and fairness. The Prophet (PBUH) always emphasized the importance of human rights and led by example. To eliminate social inequalities, it is essential to follow the principles of the State of Madinah.
