(By Dr M Mansoor Butt Lahore Bureau)
The annual All-Pakistan Khatm-e-Nubuwwat Conference, organized by the International Khatm-e-Nubuwwat Movement, will be held with great devotion and reverence on October 30 and 31, 2025, at Muslim Colony, Chenab Nagar, District Chiniot.
Thousands of scholars, religious leaders, and devotees from across Pakistan are expected to participate in the two-day congregation, which has long been recognized as one of the country’s major religious gatherings reaffirming faith in the Finality of Prophethood (Khatm-e-Nubuwwat).
According to Abdul Hakeem Naumani, head of the Movement’s Media Cell, preparations are in full swing as volunteers and organizers work tirelessly to ensure smooth arrangements. “May Allah Almighty reward all workers for their sincere efforts and accept their services,” he prayed.
Naumani advised participants to recite Ayat-ul-Kursi, protective verses, and travel prayers before departure. He also urged groups to appoint an experienced Ameer (leader) to maintain coordination, keep members’ contact details, and ensure everyone carries their national identity card or a colored copy.
During travel, it has been recommended that two elderly passengers occupy the front seats, continuously reciting Durood Shareef and Istighfar. Participants have been asked to demonstrate patience, humility, and discipline, keeping the spirit of unity alive throughout the journey.
Travelers are encouraged to carry water bottles, light snacks, and masks to guard against dust or pollution. Convoys arriving from across the country will park in the Wadi-e-Aziz area before proceeding to the main venue on foot. Separate parking zones have been arranged for cars and motorcycles in the southern sector.
The organizers have strictly advised attendees not to carry large sums of money or valuables and to keep their personal belongings secure. Participants are further instructed to bring blankets, bedding, and comfortable footwear suitable for the expected weather.
Security measures have been heightened for the event, with police and volunteer teams stationed throughout the venue. Attendees have been asked to cooperate fully with security staff and avoid any form of disorder, unnecessary movement, or argument.
Upon entering the main congregation, participants should be in a state of wudu (ablution) and recite Ayat Khatam-un-Nabiyyin and Durood Shareef. They have been requested to respond only to slogans initiated from the stage, avoid approaching the stage area, and maintain decorum during speeches.
The management has prohibited sectarian or provocative slogans, bathing in the river, and wandering in nearby markets, urging all participants instead to focus on the religious proceedings and spiritual addresses by the scholars.
In his concluding remarks, Abdul Hakeem Naumani appealed for complete adherence to the guidelines. “The cooperation and discipline of every participant will ensure the success of this spiritually significant event,” he said.
He emphasized that the conference is not only a gathering but also a reaffirmation of faith and devotion, calling upon the faithful to regard their attendance as an act of religious service and honor — carried out with sincerity, respect, and steadfast belief in the Finality of Prophethood.
