Rawalpindi—National Seerat Women Conference adopted the resolution urging women to make efforts for the eradication of terrorism and sectarianism besides prosperity of the country. The conference urged the women to impart training to their children that suicide attacks are against the spirit of Islam. It also underscore the need of spreading the massage of Islam globally as a religion of peace.

National Seerat Conference for women was held under the patronage of Markazi Imam Hussain Council here on Tuesday. MNA from Pakistan Peoples Party Dr Firdus Ashiq Awan was the chief guest while Chairperson of Markazi Imam Hussain Council Rubab Mehdi presided over the session.

On the occasion, Member of Parliament from ruling party Dr Firdus Ashiq Awan said that today the Muslims all over the world are facing the confrontation of the west due to weakness of their rulers. If the head of Muslim states would raise the voice against the discrimination of West towards Islam, the entire Ummah would stand with them.

She said that Islam is the religion of peace and tolerance and it was not expanded on through sword but it was the remarkable and unprecedented character of the Muslims which they got from the life of Hazrat Muhammad (SAW), the last Prophet of God.
