Khatm-e-Nubuwwat Conferences: A Referendum of Our Stance

"Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh. (Peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you.)

Following the praise of God and salutations (to the Prophet). A magnificent Khatm-e-Nubuwwat (Finality of Prophethood) Conference is being held under the auspices of the Aalmi Majlis Tahaffuz-e-Khatm-e-Nubuwwat (International Council for the Protection of the Finality of Prophethood) the day after tomorrow, Sunday, September 28th, at the Mini Stadium, Sheikhupura Mor, Gujranwala. Senior scholars (Akabir Ulema-e-Kiram) will attend and leaders from various schools of thought and political parties will address the gathering. The religious circles in Gujranwala are busy with preparations for this conference, which is highly commendable.

This issue of the Finality of Prophethood is a matter of our faith, a matter of the unity of our Ummah (global Muslim community), and it is also the greatest issue for the expression of religious sentiments, upon which the Ummah has always remained united. Whenever any problem arises concerning it, all schools of thought unite, becoming one body, to face the situation. They stand guard over the laws of Khatm-e-Nubuwwat, and the cases, laws, and all requirements related to the protection of the Finality of Prophethood. May Allah, the Exalted, accept everyone's efforts.

I often say that other issues remain ongoing, but the issue of the Finality of Prophethood and the protection of the honor (namoos) of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) — the issue of Namoos-e-Risalat (Honor of Prophethood) — is an expression of our faith-based zeal (Emani Hamiyyat) and an expression of our state that Muslims are alert and aware of every conspiracy. Many conspiracies are being hatched on these fronts, and international lobbies, secular lobbies, and other lobbies are attempting to influence and change laws and related circumstances.

Therefore, it is our religious, national, and communal duty to strive to make such gatherings as successful as possible. Attend not with the intention of merely listening to a sermon, but with the intention of expressing a referendum—that the Pakistani nation, today as in 1953, 1974, and 1984, is united for the Protection of the Finality of Prophethood and the Protection of the Honor of Prophethood (PBUH), and is ready to confront any conspiracy.

I request all friends in Gujranwala and the Gujranwala Division to participate in the conference as much as possible, mobilize people, and definitely do whatever is within their capacity to ensure the conference's success. May Allah grant us all the ability to do so.

"Allahumma Salli Ala Sayyidina Muhammadin Nabiyyil Ummi Wa Aalih Wa Ashaabih Wa Barik Wa Sallam." (O Allah, send blessings upon our Master Muhammad, the unlettered Prophet, and upon his family and companions, and grant them peace and blessings.)
