Denmark: Milad festival organized by MWL

On Saturday 28th May 2016 Minhaj-ul-Quran Women League (Denmark) organized a great Milad festival to welcome the coming of the blessed month Ramadan. The event was attended by a large number of women and children from the surrounding areas.

The special guests at the event included world renowned Naat Khawan from the UK, Milad Raza Qadri and the General Secretary of Minhaj European Council Women League, Tahira Firdous from Norway.

The programme began in the usual manner with the recitation of the Holy Quran, which was done by a young student from Minhaj School of Islamic Sciences, Fatima Zahid Hussain. Shabana Ahmed recited Hamd of Allah (SWT), Romana Kiani and Kokab Uppal recited a Naat Sharif of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Shamsa Urfan hosted the programme in a very beautiful manner.

Tahira Firdous gave an informative talk about the coming of Ramadan. She spoke of the great blessings and virtues of the month. She gave evidences in the light of the Holy Quran and Ahadith of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). During this month the love and compassion of Allah (SWT) is at its peak. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to love this month so much that he often used to pray for the coming of the month and also begin fasting days earlier in the month of Shabaan.

There are many benefits and blessings of Sehri and Aftari during the month of Ramadan. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said that Sehri was a means of blessings and that it should not be neglected.

It used to be the habit of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he used to regularly give charity and alms. However in Ramadan he used to give in such abundance.

In addition to this Tahira Firdous advised people to read the Holy Quran with translation, to practice its teachings and to carry out other important acts of worship. She also emphasized on listening and reading the lectures and books of Shaykh ul Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir ul Qadri. Ladies in attendance also voiced their determination to implement the advice given.

Milad Raza Qadri began his participation in the programme by reciting the praises of Allah (SWT). He recited many Naat Sharifs in the court of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in his beautiful voice. All the attendees were also consumed in the love of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) whilst listening to the Naat Sharifs.

Tahira Firdous concluded the programme with Dua. The Milad festival also had many stalls selling clothes, jewelry and lectures of Shaykh ul Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir ul Qadri.
