In his message issued released on the auspicious occasion of Eid Milad-ul-Nabi (PBUH), the President said that the prophet Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) came to the world at a time when entire humanity was immersed in the darkness of ignorance and disbelief.
“It was the time when bloodshed and violence, deceit and deception, iniquity and immorality reigned supreme over every aspect of human life”, he said, adding that the Prophet, who was sent as mercy for humanity, illuminated the whole world with his knowledge, spread the message of peace and brotherhood and pulled the humanity out from the abyss of darkness.
He said that the prophet’s life is the beacon of light for entire humanity.
