PM congratulates Pakistanis on 50 years of resolution on finality of Prophethood

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has congratulated the Pakistani nation on 50th anniversary of the passage of a historic parliamentary resolution that affirmed the finality of Prophethood of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him), Pakistani state media reported on Sunday.
Pakistan’s parliament passed the unanimous resolution on September 7, 1974 in a bid to safeguard the belief.
In a statement, PM Sharif praised the parliamentarians and religious scholars who had contributed toward the adoption of the resolution, the Radio Pakistan broadcaster reported.
“The prime minister underscored that finality of prophethood is a core principle of Islam and is also very important to every Muslim,” the report read.
He lauded the Pakistan parliament for playing a “crucial role” by adopting the resolution.
Finality of Prophethood is a sensitive topic in Muslim-majority Pakistan, where those who do not believe in it are considered heretics by many.
The South Asian country often witnesses huge demonstrations in favor of the belief.
