Lahore, October 19, 2021 (PPI-OT):Chief Minister Punjab Sardar Usman Buzdar has impressed upon the religious scholars and Mashaikh Uzam to spearhead the mission of spreading the teachings and Aswa-e-Husna of Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) through their platforms and motivate the people to follow the blessed way of life of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
While addressing the international Mashaikh and Ulema conference under the aegis of Auqaf department on Monday in connection with Ashra Shan-e-Rehmatul-Lil-Alameen, the CM said love for Ulema and Mashaikh has been a social tradition and it is commendable that the Ulema and Sufi Saints have always rendered yeoman service for the religion of Islam.
It is sanguine that they have played their role for the collective good in the country. Meanwhile, the purpose of celebrating Ashra Shan-e-Rehmatul-Lil-Alameen is to sensitize the world that Muslims’ utmost love and affection for Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is beyond every love.
The reverence and honour of Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) will always prevail over everything, he asserted. The CM said 10574 Shan-e-Rehmatul-Lil-Alameen scholarships, valuing 27.38 crore rupees, have been given to bright but needy students. 29142 scholarships of 83 crore rupees will be given this year and the amount will be increased to one billion rupees, he said.
