The Embodiment of Peace Mawlid event held at the Bristol Jamia Masjid

WAAG UK Vice-President attends Mawlid event to honour the birth of the sublime Messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him)

On Sunday 11th December 2016, The World Association for Al-Azhar Graduates UK Vice-President attended an event to honour the birth of the sublime Messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him), which was held in the south-western city of Bristol at the Bristol Jamia Masjid. The local community of Bristol gathered together for an evening of reflection and inspiration.

The event was titled ‘Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him): The Embodiment of Peace’ and featured nasheeds and poetry by the renowned reciter from Pakistan, Syed Fasih Uddin Soharwardi, and a lecture on the topic by the WAAG UK Vice-President, Bakhtyar Pirzada al-Azhari. The event was organised and hosted by the Imam at Bristol Jamia Masjid and member of WAAG UK, Imam Hafiz Muhammad Asim.

In his lecture, the WAAG UK Vice-President reflected on the objective of prophetic guidance being the attainment of inner and outer peace in every aspect of life and the preference of peace over all else. The manner of achieving such inward and outward peace is through the process of mercy, which is exemplified by the Prophet (peace be upon him) who was sent as a mercy to all the worlds as mentioned in the Qur’an. Books written by WAAG UK President, Shaykh Muhammad Imdad Hussain Pirzada, were available at the event.
