Following the example of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) a must to end intolerance: Shaykh-ul-Islam

Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri, the founder and patron-in-chief of Minhaj-ul-Quran International, addressed the grand "Seerat-un-Nabi (PBUH) Conference" in Sydney, Australia. He emphasized the importance of following the example of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to eradicate intolerance and extremism.

Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri highlighted that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) engaged in dialogue with people of different religions and social classes, spreading the message of worshiping the One God through his exemplary conduct, moderation, tolerance, and commitment to promises. His actions profoundly impacted the violent society of Arabia.

Dr. Qadri stated that by adhering to the same example of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), it is possible to eliminate hatred and violent attitudes today. He said the Holy Prophet (PBUH) faced intense opposition and extremist reactions in his mission but remained patient and steadfast, conveying that when objectives are collective and noble, personal ego must be set aside. He asserted that applying this spirit can foster unity and solve seemingly intractable problems.

Addressing the participants of the Seerat-un-Nabi (PBUH) Conference, Dr. Qadri further emphasized the need to cultivate love, kindness, compassion, generosity, forgiveness, and patience in our behavior to pass on faith to future generations. Until our conduct reflects the prophetic example, we cannot transmit Islam's high moral teachings to the next generations, he maintained.
