Mumbai: In the wake of growing hatred mounted by the divisive forces in the country, a group of prominent Muslims from the metropolis have decided to organize the Prophet For All Campaign in the month of Rabiul Awwal. The idea is to educate people, especially Non- Muslims on the life of the Prophet, to remove misunderstandings, and spread a message of Peace and Brotherhood.
The meeting, held on September 12, noted that in today’s times to gain political mileage there is organized propaganda of misinformation against Islam and the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
“People of other faiths tend to believe what is shown by the Media while the truth is something else, waiting to be discovered. This evil propaganda has led to social disharmony, unrest, and avoidable conflicts,” the meeting observed.
The idea is to create awareness for all, especially people of other faiths, on the life of the Prophet (PBUH). Secondly, to remove the growing misunderstandings about the message of Islam and bring about communal harmony in society.
Starting 28th September 2022 and going up to 9th October or 12th Rabi-ul-Awwal, Prophet Muhammad’s birthday (PBUH), also called Eid-e-Milad, celebrations and special introductory programmes will be held all over Mumbai to spread the message of Friendship, Peace and Brotherhood…
Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him), is the Last Prophet of God and the World’s greatest personality. The world never saw a person like him before nor will see another until the end of humanity. He had a formidable reputation as a truthful, trustworthy and merciful human being. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was a highly compassionate human being. Muslims around the world love him the most, however, he was not only sent for Muslims but all mankind.
Prophet For ALL:
In the Holy Qur’an, the Almighty God mentions; “And We have sent you (O Muhammad) not but as a mercy for all worlds (not only mankind but all the creations of God)” [Surah al-Anbiya 21:107].
His teachings were Universal, not just for Arabs or Muslims but for the whole of Mankind. His mercy and compassion were not just for humans but for the entire creation of the Almighty as mentioned in the Holy Qur’an. He managed to transform the fiercely warring tribes of Arabia into a reformed Nation through The Holy Qur’an, his teachings, and his flawless manners, which were appreciated even by his enemies.
What can We do?
Each one of us should join in this Nobel Mission. Let us honor the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and spread his message of Peace, Love, and Brotherhood to ALL specifically to people of other Faiths, especially between 1st Rabi ul Awwal to 12th Rabi ul Awwal.

Remember the Hadees that if we forgive people their mistakes, Allah SWT will forgive our sins on the Day of Judgement.

Organise an ideal Eid e Milad Juloos:
Be a part of the organizing committee of the Eid e Milad Majlis/Juloos in your area and ensure unIslamic acts are not followed like DJ, music, Band or Dancing, etc.
Celebrate in Social Media:
And finally, we can make a huge influence on TODAY’S GENERATION by not indulging in #hate on social media. Remember, that is not the way of our beloved Prophet SAW who believed in even forgiving his enemies.
#ProphetForAll theme should be common in all the banners, displays, videos, creatives, etc. Social media posts and messages should have the hashtag and tag the social media accounts.
