Easter ‘Feast Of Victory’ Over Sin And Death

Lahore, Pakistan: Churches across the city are holding special services – lighting candles and other activities – to mark Easter on Sunday (today).
Christians celebrate Easter by performing several rituals keeping in view the basic concept of the holiday – the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the church’s birth. Easter is considered the most important religious feast in the Christian liturgical year. Special dishes are also cooked to commemorate the day.
Victory: Lahore Bishop Dr Alexander John Malik said Easter was the ‘feast of victory’ over sin and death. He said it was also feast of love, tolerance and peace. He said Jesus, through resurrection, emerged triumphant over the demonic forces of evil and death. He said Easter provided hope to everyone struggling against the forces of evil and injustice, adding that the struggle would be fruitful even through death. He strongly urged Christians to join hands with everyone of kindred intentions, struggling for dignity, liberty and equality of human beings. He prayed for peace, progress, prosperity and solidarity of the country.

Greatest Man Ever – Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

Madina

Muslims are celebrating the birth of the Greatest Man in the whole universal. One and Only Prophet Muhammad (salla Allahu ‘alayhi wa sallam PBUH). The Prophet of not only Muslims but the whole universe. As the Lord of the worlds called him the Mercy for all the worlds. His message is the message of Peace for the each and every living being. He is  surely the Greatest person ever.

Although a lot has been written about Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)’s (would

The-100

never be enough), I would like to mention a book titled “The 100,” or the Top One hundred, or the Greatest Hundred in History by Michael H. Hart, described as a historian, mathematician and astronomer. He has searched history, seeking for men who had the greatest influence on mankind. He does not give us a mere chart of the topmost “one hundred” from the point of view of their influence on people, but he evaluates the degree of their influence and rates them in order of their excellence from No. 1, through to No. 100.  He gives us his reasons for the placing of his candidates.  We are not asked to agree with him, but we cannot help admire the man’s research and honesty.   The most amazing thing about his selection is that he has put our Nabee-e-Kareem, the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as No. 1.
Let us hear his arguments –

MUHAMMAD, HOWEVER, WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR BOTH THE THEOLOGY OF ISLAM AND ITS MAIN ETHICAL AND MORAL PRINCIPLES. IN ADDITION, HE PLAYED THE KEY ROLE IN PROSELYTIZING THE NEW FAITH, AND IN ESTABLISHING THE RELIGIOUS PRACTICES OF ISLAM.

Following is a Naat (Song in Prophet’s Praise) by Sami Yusuf.

Mohammad (PBUH) The Teacher (Al-Muallim)

We once had a Teacher
The Teacher of teachers,
He changed the world for the better
And made us better creatures,
Oh Allah we’ve shamed ourselves
We’ve strayed from Al-Mu’allim,
Surely we’ve wronged ourselves
What will we say in front him?
Oh Mu’allim…
