In his speech, Ather Khan stressed upon the importance of presenting today’s youngsters, with the biography of Prophet Mohammed (Seerah) and added that sometimes Prophet Mohammed is presented before the youth as a superhuman demotivating them from following his footsteps and lifestyle.
“Prophet Mohammed was a human like us and we need to put the little human things that he did in his day-to-day life as an inspiration for the youngsters and our kids.” He said.
“There should be relevance and applicability when we tell today’s youngsters about the life of Prophet Mohammed. Although we cannot match his standards, it is totally practical to imitate him and follow him and try to be like him.” He said while counting instances from the life of Prophet Mohammed wherein small actions made big differences in the lives of his companions and followers.
