"Islamic society was the most modern society of its time, while people were given guidance related to Islam in their local languages."

Imran Khan said the Sufi saints in light of life of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught religion to the local people in their language.

The premier further said that character-building will be carried out through religious festivals, while the Seerat will be highlighted in the universities through research.

Concluding, he said, "Every citizen of Pakistan is an Ashiq-e-Rasool (Prophet’s devotee) and the greatest way to exhibit love for the Prophet (PBUH) is by acting according to His Seerat."

Federal ministers Pir Noor-ul-Haq Qadri and Shafqat Mahmood, as well as experts including Pro Dr Ijaz Akram, Dr Khalid Masood and Shehzad Nawaz and Dr Ata-ur-Rehman were those in attendance on the occasion.

Last month, President Arif Alvi issued an ordinance related to the establishment of Rehmatul lil Alameen Authority, as part of the government efforts to form ‘Riyasat-e-Madina’. The authority would take steps to make the “dream of a just and welfare state a reality” and carryout research Seerat-e-Nabvi for “the character building” of youth. It would also consult experts for making Seerat-e-Nabvi a part of the curriculum.
