    Prime Minister Imran Khan, while addressing the Ashra-e-Rehmat-ul-Lil-Aalamin (PBUH) conference, announced the formation of the Rehmatul-lil-Aalameen Authority.
    

    According to Dawn, the scholars in the authority would be responsible for researching how best to disseminate lessons from the life of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) to the masses.
    

    

    


    

    

    

    PM said Islam was a religion of peace and humanity and the West did not understand it so the authority would also be tasked with explaining Islam to the world. “When they educate the world about the Prophet’s (PBUH) life, people will understand that Islam is a religion of humanity,” the premier said.
    

    During PM Khan’s address, he announced that the authority will monitor the media [print and electronic], and be in charge of monitoring the schools’ curriculum and how the course on the Holy Prophet’s (PBUH) biography was being taught.
    

    

    


    

    

    

    Furthermore, he said that the scholars would be responsible for carrying out and promoting research in universities.
    

    “Research should be conducted on topics such as whether our divorces have increased and what is the impact of this,” he added.
    

    However, the members of the authority haven’t been revealed yet. PM Khan said, “I will be the patron myself but we have started searching for a person who has written books of tafsir, has great command [over religion] and is a scholar for the chairman. There will be an international advisory board above him on which we will bring the Muslim world’s top scholars — we have looked at many names and are approaching them as well.”

    Imran Abbas celebrates Eid Miladun-Nabi at an old-age home
    
			
    To celebrate Eid Miladun Nabi, Imran Abbas visited an old age home in Karachi and spent time with the elderly there.
    

    According to details, Abbas visited an old home run by the JDC Foundation (Jafaria Disaster Management Cell Welfare Organisation Pakistan). In the pictures that have been shared on social media, the actor can be seen laughing and having a good time with the people there. 
    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    The actor also went live on Instagram from the old-age home and shared his experience.
    

    “This day is recognised for the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) who is Rahmatul Lil Alameen (Mercy for all the worlds). And when we talk about mercy, Zaffar Abbas is the person who comes in our mind,” said the actor in his opening remarks. 
    

    He continued: “I am surprised to see this old age home, it does not look like an old home because I don’t see them as old people, they look like young people because of the happiness on their faces and I am very happy to meet them as they have been so well-taken care off.”
    

    “They have been given internet facilities, health facilities, personalized rooms and every facility that we have at our homes is been given to them,” shared the actor lauding the NGO’s facilities. 
    

    He further said, “I came here with hope, with happiness and sadness at the same time, I feel sad for those unfortunate people who don’t look after their parents. This is so painful thing to know but I am happy because when your own people leave you, we have people in our society who take care of you even more than your family. These people are a blessing of our society.”
