As for the Sira competition, for the third time it was organized based on the Arraheeq Almakhtoom book, which has been awarded the first prize by the Muslim World League, at the first Islamic Conference on Seerah, hence in sha’a Allah, we shall continue to organize the competition of Sira of the Prophet Mohammad p.b.u.h. consistently.
Regarding the Research competition, it has covered the following sections:
- The Methodology of Da’wa in Sira,
- Human Values in Sira,
- The Fiqh of context in Sira,
- Muslim-non Muslim relations in Sira,
- How can we apply lessons of Sira in respect of contemporary challenges?
At the end, we would like to thank Al-Maktoom Foundation for sponsoring these competitions and all those who attended and shared with us in these celebrations. It was a wonderful evening to celebrated with friends and families and everyone seemed very pleased with their reward. Indeed, the reward in the Hereafter is better and more lasting and the enjoyment of the life of this world, compared with the Hereafter, is but little.”
