RAWALPINDI: Punjab Arts Council (PAC) in collaboration with the International Recitation Research Academy (Iqra) organized a Husne Qirrat & Naat Conference entitled Quaid Ka Pakistan here on Monday.
The program was presided over by Prof. Qari Muhammad Mushtaq Anwar, a prominent reciter of the world of Islam. Pir Mujtabi Farooq Gul Badshah, Sajjada Nashin Astana Alia Mohra Sharif, came as a special guest.
Addressing the young generation, Syed Mahmood Saharanpuri said that young generations are fortunate to come to such gatherings, but at the same time, these conferences are also a refresher course for you spiritually. Qari Abdul Basit Siddiqui, Qari Waseem Abbas, Qari Abu Bakr Safir Lodhi, Qari Mirza Zain Baig and Qari Kashif Rabbani recited the Holy Quran, while the honor of Naat Sharif was given by the well-known Naat Khan of the National Assembly Syed Zeeshan Bukhari, Professor Syed Asad Ali, and Muhammad Armaghan Sarwar. Prof. Gul Mast Khan and Hafiz Mohsin Ali Bhatti performed the duties of host in the conference.
Allama Sheikh Muhammad bin Qasim, while highlighting the Quaid-e-Azam and the message of Pakistan, said that the main purpose of the establishment of Pakistan was to promote the elevation of Islam and the power of Islam, but unfortunately we deviated from the right path and followed another path.
Professor Qari Muhammad Mushtaq Anwar Sahib said that the thought of Pakistan’s thinker Hazrat Allama Muhammad Iqbal was put into practice by Quaid-e-Azam, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. It is a special distinction of my soulful dear Muhammad Zeeshan Haider that he has associated the Quran Conference with the message of Pakistan, the Quaid’s Pakistan and the restitution of all the deceased and this is actually the soul and purpose of Islam and Pakistan, he added.
