A milaad hosted by Mrs. Farrukh Mukhtar and group at ladies club

Milaad is a beautiful tradition held in reverence of our Holy prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). In the past, there were recitals of poems to honour this sacred personality of last prophet of Islam Muhammad (peace be upon him) but now that custom is changing. Inspiring Islamic lectures about the life of services this holy being are the new trend.

Arranging milaads on annual basis is customary to members of the ladies club Multan. The lifetime president of the ladies club, Mrs. Farrukh Mukhtar and her group members ( who are mainly her own family) were fortunate to avail this spiritual blessing at the end of the closing of the year, on 14th December 2016.

A renowned scholar was invited to enlighten members of the ladies club, about the life works of the Hazrat Muhammad (peace be upon him). Entire club was beautifully lit with lights and flower arrangements, in an ambience bathed in White colour.

The occasion was also utilised for the ''annual prize distribution''. Gifts were bestowed upon the members of the executive committee by the president, as acknowledgement of their services to the club. Which included the names of Mrs. Fariha Munir Shah (joint secretary), Mrs. Shagufta Khaaksar (program secretary), Mrs. Yasmin Bokhari. Prizes were also given to female media representatives present at the occasion, Ms. Iqra from Nawai-waqt and Ms. Imrana Komal, who made a come back after a long time, getting recovered from injuries of an accident. A special prize was awarded to Mrs. Uzma Burana for arranging the best event of the year, which was the 'Saraiki Mela''. Indeed, a great effort to promote Saraiki culture, the culture of this city of saints called Multan.

Mrs. Farrukh Mukhtar also addressed the gathering and congratulated the prize winners and admired their efforts. She also mentioned that this club has served ladies, generation through generation and is a great platform to bring together women from different walks of life.

Mrs.Fariha Munir was handed over the responsibility of comparing. She
thanked everybody for their presence at the event and for their continuous support to the club.

At the end, a formal, scrumptious, hi-tea menu was laid out for the guests. A great number of ladies were present at the occasion. Hostesses included Mrs. Farah Faisal, Rabia Rehman, Mrs. Mahnaz Amir Sheikh and others.

Ladies club is a great legend in itself. A tool for socialisation for women of every strata of life. And women of this city of saints, love this platform. Yes! We love, ladies club Multan and wish it a great, long, life for future generations.
