ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony ministry is gearing up to host the 48th two-day International Seerat-un-Nabi (Life of the Prophet Muhammad, Peace Be Upon Him) conference on September 28th and 29th in the country’s capital, Islamabad.
This conference will include the recognition of outstanding contributions in the form of awards for Seerat-related articles and books. The theme for this year’s competition is “Practical Wisdom for Economic Prosperity in Light of the Life of the Prophet Muhammad, Peace Be Upon Him.”
It’s worth noting that all submitted articles and books undergo a rigorous review process by a committee comprising at least three experts, including professors holding Ph.D. degrees. Their evaluations are then forwarded to a high-level apex committee responsible for the final selection of deserving publications.

This year, a total of 137 books and 94 articles on Seerat were submitted, leading to the recognition of 31 individuals for their books and 35 for their articles.
