Mangaluru: Highland Islamic Forum India on Friday organized the concluding ceremony that was organized to mark their 10th-anniversary celebrations. The event was held at the Townhall here in the city.

A talk for people from all faiths was organized during the concluding ceremony wherein Ather Khan, the President of Al-Asr Foundation and Educational Society Bhopal delivered a talk on the topic “Can we be like Prophet Mohammed”.

During his talk, Ather Khan congratulated HIF on completing 10 years in social service and hoped it will continue to bloom for decades to come. He also expressed condolences on the passing away of SM Basheer, Trustee of Shepherd’s International Academy, who passed away earlier in the day.

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.

The event was presided over by HIF President Nazim AK. Rizwan Pandeshwar delivered the keynote address.

The event began with the recitation of the verses of the Holy Quran by the students of Al-Qalam. Haneef PS, the convenor of the program welcomed the guests and audience while Bilal Raif compered the event and presented vote of thanks.
