Islamabad: Eid Milad-un-Nabi (SAW) was celebrated with great religious zeal and fervor across the country Tuesday.

The day dawned with a 31-gun salute in the federal capital and a 21-gun salute in all the provincial capitals. Special prayers for the unity of Muslim Ummah and the progress and prosperity of the country were offered in the mosques after Fajr prayers.

Special conferences, events, and Mehfil-e-Milad are being held to pay respect to the Last Messenger of Allah Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (SAW) whose life and teachings are a beacon of light for the whole of mankind.

Meanwhile, strict security arrangements were made to counter any untoward incident and ensure the safety of the citizens.

Prime Minister Imran Khan, in his message, said the arrival of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in the world brought a revolution in every aspect of human society.

He said it was the effect of the life of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) that the Arab tribes who were victims of internal chaos for centuries emerged as a nation.

The premier said in this state system, minorities were protected, poor and needy were taken care of and rights and obligations of the state and citizens were determined.

He said the government has formed the Rehmatul-lil-Aalameen Authority to apprise the people and the world about the life and teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
