SIRAH AWARD- WINNING SINDHI BOOKS BY GOVT OF PAKISTAN (AN INTRODUCTORY AND ANALYTICAL STUDY)

Abstract

Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) was the final and Last messenger of Allah to humanity, and therefore the Quran is the last message which Allah Almighty has sent to us. And blessing for all who hear of the Quran and Islam to investigate it and evaluate it for themselves. Allah Almighty has guaranteed that he will protect the quran from human tampering, and todays readers can find exact copies of it all over the world.

Allah Almighty sent Hazrat Muhammad Rasoolullah, the Prophet of Islam. The Benefactor of Humankind's teachings are predicated on virtues such as love, understanding, tolerance, patience, harmony amongst religions, peace and security, and respect for other people. These days, there is no need to provide an explanation for studying Sirah and meeting its requirements. The Higher Education Commission created Sirah Chairs at universities with this in mind. Under the direction of these Sirah chairs, conferences both domestically and internationally are arranged, and experts are penning publications on a range of Sirah-related subjects. Books on biographies were also written in regional languages, demonstrating the significance of the national language Urdu in the Sirah and Naat (Praise of the Prophet) competitions.

Among them, Sindhi language holds great significance. Given the significance of emphasising the teachings of the Prophet, the Government of Pakistan, through the Ministry of Religious and Interfaith Harmony, has been implementing a number of initiatives to publish the life and teachings of the Prophet in many languages each year. The Sirah prize is given to authors of standard books who take part in national or worldwide Sirah and naat(Praise of the Prophet) book competitions as well as the planning of the Sairat-ul-Nabi (Peace be upon Him) conference on the 12th of Rabi al-Awwal.
