“Rabi’ul Awwal reminds us of the life of a Messenger whose character embodied mercy, compassion, patience, honesty and concern for humanity. As we commemorate this blessed month, let us deepen our love for the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) by emulating his character and extending kindness and support to those around us,” she said.
The Executive Secretary also encouraged Muslims to strengthen family and community bonds, promote forgiveness and reconciliation, support those in need and continue to uphold peaceful coexistence.
