The government has decided to observe Ishq-e-Rasool (SAAW) Week from 31st of this month to the sixth of the next month in connection with Eid Milad-un-Nabi (SAAW).

This was announced by Minister for Religious Affairs Noor-ul-Haq Qadri while talking to the media in Islamabad on Wednesday.

The Minister said during the week, Mahafils and ceremonies will be held across the country in which Ulema will highlight various aspects of Seerat-un-Nabi (SAWW). He said declamation contests on Seerat-un-Nabi (SAWW) will also be organized at educational institutions.

Noor-ul-Haq Qadri said Prime Minister Imran Khan will write letters to heads of states and heads of governments of Muslim countries to formulate a united stance of the Islamic Ummah against publication of blasphemous material. He said the Prime Minister will also telephonically talk to various leaders of the Muslim world on the issue. 

The Minister said the government will also contact with the Grand Imam of Jamia Al-Azhar regarding his proposal that the lawyers from the Muslim countries can jointly move an international forum against the blasphemies.

He said the religious scholars of the Western countries will also be contacted to draw their attention toward the attempts of harming inter-faith harmony in the world.
