Mrs. Humaira Shakeel (President) and Dr Amirah Raza (General Secretary) were also there to welcome ladies as this was the 2nd ‘Halaqa-e Durood’ organized by the new chapter of Hounslow (West London). The programme started at 11:30 with the Tilawat of the Holy Quraan than the ladies started recitation of ‘Darood-e-Pak’ for about 45 minutes.

Following recitation of Qaseeda Burda sharif, President Humaira Shakeel gave a short speech on the importance of Milad and ‘Fazeelat-e-Darood’. She quoted extensively from the books of Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri’s Milad-un-Nabi (SAW) and Fazeelat-e-Darood-o-Salam. The ladies who attended the blessed gathering were very pleased to be a part of such a beautiful Halaqa-e-Darood. The recitation of the Durood stood at about 13000 on the day while the number stood at 159,700 during the month of Rabi-ul-Awal. The new chapter encouraged the sisters to arrange ‘Halqa-e-Darood’ at their homes with their families and friends and to introduce it to young girls so that we all should build a strong relation of love and respect with our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW). At the end, ‘Salaat-o-salam’ and dua was made. It was a successful programme in every respect. Food was served at the end to all the participants.
