The contemporary societies at the moment are going through a crisis of intolerance and bigotry. In this scenario, the teachings of Holy Prophet Muhammad(may peace be upon him) become all the more relevant not just for the Muslims but for the entire mankind. He laid the foundation of a pluralistic society and introduced the concept of tolerance in an otherwise regressive set up of Arabia. His message being based on the principle of mercy hugely influenced the socio-economic and political context; leaving an incredible mark on all the times to come.Keeping in view the essence of his message based on mercy and the most pressing need of applying this message in every aspect of our lives, the Humanities Department in collaboration with Rumi Forum organized a seminar on the theme The Infinite Mercy Hazrat Muhammad( S.A.W.)This theme was interpreted by the Turkish Scholar Umet Goker in a way which highlighted the significance of Holy Prpophet’s role as Allah’s Messenger and at the same time touched upon the fact that Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) despite being from amongst us; Allah had endowed him with special qualities and assigned him the huge responsibility of guiding the makind.The speaker very interestingly pointed out that the very concept of Infinite Mercy was exempilified by Hazrat Muhammad(S.A.W.)in such a manner and fashion that it became a test for the unbelievers who simply failed to rationalize that how a human could be so full of compassion asking forgiveness from Allah even for his enemies? In a sense he took the idea of mercy to an “incredible level”. The speaker from this very basic idea of mercy tried to give an interpretation to different aspects of Holy Prophet(may peace be upon him)’s life and message. In the last , the speaker reminding the audience that how Holy Prophet(may peace be upon him)made us to realize the temporal nature of the world by cultivating in his followers an inclilination towards a spiritual life ; where exists a “deep awareness of God’s existence.Thus mercy emerged as the dominant theme in the way the Holy Prophet(may peace be upon him) communicated and dealt with the people.The Scholar concluded his talk on a very thought provking suggestion that the teachings of Holy Quran and Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him) should serve as a mirror for allof us.
