PM Stresses Promoting Holy Prophet’s (PBUH) Seerah Teachings to Strengthen Unity Among Nation, Ummah
ISLAMABAD, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 26th Aug, 2026) Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, on Wednesday, emphasized the need to further strengthen unity and brotherhood among the nation and the Ummah by imparting the core teachings of the Seerah of Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to younger generations to help them confront contemporary challenges.
Addressing the International Seerat (PBUH) Conference, the prime minister urged Ulema and religious scholars to play their role through mosques and pulpits by promoting the values of unity, tolerance, compassion, and interfaith harmony.
He said the Holy Prophet (PBUH) had been an embodiment of peace, affection, truthfulness, uprightness, honesty, and forgiveness, and these guiding principles should be used for the character building of the young generations of the country.
The prime minister opined that during the movement for the creation of Pakistan, the entire nation stood united under the leadership of Quaid e Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. The miracle was achieved with adherence to unity and discipline. The same qualities had been a part of the Constitution of Pakistan.
He stressed the need to shun all differences, considering the modern era's challenges. Ministers, members of the diplomatic corps, religious scholars, media, teachers, and students were present on the occasion.
Referring to the Gulf conflict and the armed conflict with India in May 2025, the prime minister said at both critical situations, the nation displayed unity. During the Gulf conflict, Pakistan walked the tightrope, trying to avert the consequences of widening war flames in the region while also attempting to unite the entire Ummah.
Commending the role of Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, the prime minister said he played a significant role during the entire crisis, engaging with both sides to secure peace and stability in the region. The enemies of peace tried but failed miserably, he added.
The prime minister also termed the signing of the Makkah Agreement a sign of enduring brotherhood, unity, and fraternity among Pakistan, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and Turkey.
"The leadership of Saudi Arabia and Turkey stood with Pakistan like an iron wall during the Pak-India conflict," he said, adding that these brotherly nations had always stood with the Pakistani nation through thick and thin.
The prime minister reaffirmed that these bonds of friendship and brotherhood would be further strengthened. He urged the Ulema to discourage negative trends of sectarianism and extremism by spreading the eternal message of peace and affection from the Seerah of the Holy Prophet (PBUH).
The Ummah required overcoming modern thought-provoking challenges by equipping the young generation with the latest knowledge and building a robust future.
