On the sacred occasion of Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi, a grand gathering (Jalsa) was organized at Delhi’s historic Ghausia Mosque, Mehrauli. The mosque was beautifully decorated with colorful lights and green flags. The atmosphere was filled with spirituality and enthusiasm. A large number of religious scholars, social workers, and local residents participated in the event.
Presidency and Addresses
The Jalsa was presided over by Maulana Mufti Nizamuddin Noori from Rampur, Uttar Pradesh. In his address, he said, “True love for Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the real foundation of faith. Only those who love the Prophet can truly understand the essence of religion.”
Maulana Mufti Abdurrahman from Kaushambi, Allahabad, said, “The Prophet of Islam came as a mercy for the entire world. His message is not limited to Muslims but is for all of humanity. Today, the world needs love, brotherhood, and justice more than anything else.”
The program was conducted by Maulana Abdul Qayyum Nizami, while the spiritual patronage was provided by Peer-e-Tariqat Hazrat Allama Qari Merajul Hasan Ashrafi Jayasi. The Jalsa was led by the President of Muslim Mission of India, Maulana Syed Haider Ali Qadri.
Emphasis on Education and Humanity
Maulana Zia-ul-Haq highlighted the importance of education, saying, “The very first message of Islam is knowledge. If Muslims remain away from education, their development will remain incomplete.” He appealed to the youth to acquire education and shape their lives according to the teachings of the Prophet.
