During a press conference at Minar-e-Pakistan, Deputy Secretary-General and Conference Secretary Jawwad Hamid, Deputy Secretary-General Allama Rana Muhammad Idrees, President of Minhaj-ul-Quran Lahore Professor Zulfiqar Ali, and other leaders shared details of the event.

Jawad Hamid mentioned that scholars and spiritual leaders from across the Islamic world will be present. He emphasized that love for the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is an essential part of faith, adding that Minhaj-ul-Quran International has been promoting this love for over four decades.

The Minar-e-Pakistan grounds witness millions of devotees celebrating the birth of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) each year, renewing their faith and dedicating their hearts to the love of the Prophet (PBUH) throughout the year. Leading scholars, spiritual leaders, political and social figures, business and legal communities, as well as student leaders, will be present on stage.

Allama Rana Muhammad Idrees said that the greatest joy in the universe is the birth of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). He urged the people of Lahore to arrive in processions while reciting salawat (praises of the Prophet PBUH). He added that along the way, people would shower the processions with flower petals.

Professor Zulfiqar Ali, President of Minhaj-ul-Quran Lahore, mentioned that the people of Lahore will participate in such large numbers that the night of 11th Rabi' al-Awwal will resound with chants of "Welcome, O Messenger!" and "We are the servants of the Prophet (PBUH)." A hundred thousand households from Lahore have been invited, and thousands of men and women from the city will express their love for the Prophet by attending.

Reception camps will be set up at various points to guide the caravans arriving from other cities. Salutations (darood) recited at Minhaj-ul-Quran's Gosha-e-Durood and Halaqat-e-Durood will be presented to the Prophet (PBUH), with special prayers for the safety and stability of the country. A sound system will be set up to ensure that the proceedings are audible to thousands outside the venue.
