Prophet Muhammad’s (pbuh) Intrafaith-Interfaith Naatia Mushaera – Poetry Session in Richardson on Friday, February 21, 2014.

February 8, 2014 – Dallas, Texas: The World Muslim
Congress, a think tank of Muslims in Dallas announces a poetry session honoring
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), known as Naatia Mushaera.

“This is a purposeful event
with three clear goals; to share Prophet’s work with fellow Americans, to focus
on how Muslims can adopt his teachings to benefit the society at large, and to
bring Muslims of different denominations together for the common purpose–
celebrate Prophet Muhammad’s birthday”- said Mike Ghouse, president of the organization.
 
The program is set to start at 8:00 PM and end at mid night on Friday, February
21, 2014 at Richardson Civic
Center in Richardson, Texas. (Link).

The evening is divided into two
sessions. The first segment will highlight the Intrafaith and interfaith
aspects of the program. Muslims of different denominations including
Ahmadiyya, Bohra, Ismaili, Shia, Sunni, WD Muhammad others will share a
Naat (poetry singing) each from their community. Then our friends from
other faiths will also share their Poetry about the Prophet.

Women and Men will be reciting the Naats together for the first time.

The
second segment after the tea break is assigned to our poets and they
will recite the purposeful poetry to reflect on Prophet’s work and how
we can make that meaningful in our day to day life.  

“Throughout
the program, we will be highlighting the inclusive teachings of the
Prophet’s wisdom.  The values embedded in the Madinah constitution will
be shared, where the prophet signed a declaration with Jews, Christians,
Pagans and others. Each member of community was guaranteed the freedom
to practice his or her faith freely. Furthermore, In his last sermon,
the Prophet declared that all men are created equal, and respecting each
human is the right thing to do. Like the people of all faiths, Muslims
need to go back to the inclusive values taught by the prophet.” added
Mike Ghouse.

Refreshments, tea, and snacks will be served in addition to the special treat – the king of desserts; Laddu.
