audience and an equally attractive speakers line-up. Famous PTV artist Uzma Gilani, Shagufta Zia,

The program was dedicated to birth of Prophet Mohammad (SAW), which happened in
the month of Rabi-ul-Awwal.Hafiz Abdul Rahman opened the program with the
recitation of Quran and a Naat praising Prophet Muhammad (SAW) which was
followed by another beautiful Naat by Ms Shagufta Zia that mesmerised the
packed hall.
Koocha-e-Saqafat showed its own video compilation, ‘Message
of Love’, which included short speeches by various prominent figures from
different walks of life. It offered tribute to late Junaid

fellow passengers who died in a plane crash in 2016. It also remembered late
Abdul Sattar Edhi (Founder of Edhi Trust, one of the largest and most respected
charity organisation in Pakistan), Amjad Sabri (a well-known Naat reciter in
Pakistan who was shot dead in Karachi in 2016),and those innocent kids of

cricketer Mushtaq Ahmed, PTV artist Qavi Khan and World Boxing Champion
Muhammad Ali, which was greatly appreciated by the audience.

control their emotions
CG Abdul Majid Yousfani
and
she made not only the audience but herself cry.Consul General Pakistan Abdul

praised the good work this organisation is doing for Pakistani community in
Australia through sending positive messages. Ms Mehreen Javed also recited a
beautiful Naat, Mera Dil Badal Dey, which touched the hearts of the audience.
Following this Naat, Hafiz Abdul Rahman recited another Hamd that was very much
liked by
the audience.
In the next session, Imam Uzair Akbar gave a
speech relevant to the program title the Message of Love in the light of Quran
and Hadith. It was a simple, warm and an impressive speech that left many
people particularly the youth asking for more and suggesting to organise
another program where they could listen to the Imam for little longer.In the
end, Maulana Thanvi gave a short talk about the love of Prophet Muhammad (SAW)
and made a concluding Dua (supplication) in which he prayed for Muslim Ummah,
peace for all humanity, longevity of Pakistan and for success
