A high-level Palestinian delegation has arrived in Islamabad to participate in the upcoming International Seerat-un-Nabi Conference 2025, highlighting the strong religious and cultural ties between Pakistan and Palestine. The delegation is led by Dr. Mahmoud Al-Habbash, Chief Islamic Justice of Palestine and Advisor to the President on Religious Affairs and Islamic Relations, along with other senior scholars and officials.
The group was warmly welcomed at the airport by Chairman of the Pakistan Ulema Council, Hafiz Tahir Ashrafi, and Federal Secretary for Religious Affairs, Dr. Syed Atta ur Rahman, as well as other senior government officials. Their visit underscores Pakistan’s longstanding solidarity and support for the Palestinian people.
The delegation includes Ahmad Hussein, a Sharia judge and scholar from Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque; Ghassan Al-Rajabi, a Sharia judge and scholar from the Ibrahimi Mosque; and Hamza Dana, Director General of the Office of the Chief Islamic Justice. Their presence as state guests reflects the importance the Government of Pakistan places on fostering interfaith cooperation and strengthening ties with the wider Muslim world.
The International Seerat-un-Nabi Conference, now in its 50th edition, is an annual event that gathers leading scholars, jurists, and religious figures from across the Muslim world to reflect on the life and teachings of the Holy Prophet Muhammad. The conference serves as a prominent platform for promoting peace, tolerance, and interfaith harmony globally.
This year’s conference will focus on the theme of “State Responsibilities in Educating and Training for the Positive Use of Social Media – In Light of the Teachings of the Holy Prophet.” The discussions aim to address the challenges and opportunities presented by social media and the role of the state in guiding its responsible use, inspired by Islamic values.
The arrival of the Palestinian delegation and their participation in the conference highlight the deep-rooted fraternal relationship between Pakistan and Palestine, as well as the shared commitment to fostering unity and understanding within the Muslim community.
