“This day unites Muslims all over the world in a relationship that is based on faith and whose focus is solely and exclusively the noble personality of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH),” he remarked.
As a sign of the nation’s profound love and devotion for the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), he stated, “In this context, the National Assembly and Senate have decided to commemorate this historic occasion at the national level through unanimous resolutions.”
He said, “Moreover, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has also declared this year as a commemorative year on the completion of the 1500th anniversary of the birth of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), uniting the entire nation around this message of compassion.”
A pious society is built on the principles of justice, fairness, compassion, kindness, brotherhood, equality, and respect for humankind, as taught by the life of the Holy Prophet (PBUH). Today, when the world is faced with challenges such as extremism, injustice, social unrest, and uncontrolled trends of digitalization, we need to find solutions to these problems in the light of the life of the Prophet (PBUH),” he stressed.
“The teachings of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) hold the key to solving the problems that the Muslim Ummah and Pakistan are currently facing,” the President stated. We can overcome social and economic issues by adhering to the values he taught us: brotherhood, love, and unity. Let’s use this chance to promise that we will set aside our disagreements and cooperate for the advancement of our nation.
It is our duty to follow the example established by the Holy Prophet (PBUH), he added, adding, “The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) always taught us to help the weak, orphans, and the needy.”

“The government, local administration, and relief organizations are working together in this emergency to ensure the safety and rehabilitation of the affected individuals as soon as possible,” President Zardari stated.
“This is the time when we, while learning from Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), should help our people with open hearts and ensure their rehabilitation as soon as possible, because Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) also strived for the welfare of others in every situation,” he added.
He said, “Let us pledge on this auspicious occasion to make the teachings of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) a part of our lives and in their light, make our society a cradle of equality and peace. I pray that Allah Almighty grants us all the ability to follow the life of the Holy Prophet (PBUH).”
