The National Rahmatul-lil-Alameen Wa Khatam an-Nabiyyin Authority (Arabic: ÙÙÙ Û ØØ٠ت ØÙÙØØÙÙ ÛÙ Ù ØØت٠ØÙÙØÛÛÙ ØتÚØØÙÛ) is an institution that aims to promote the teachings and values of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in Pakistan and abroad.[1] It was established by the Government of Pakistan under the Federal Ministry of Education & Professional Training in October 2021, following the initiative of former Prime Minister Imran Khan. The first Chairman of the authority was Ijaz Akram, a scholar and professor of Islamic studies. The authority was created by an ordinance issued by President Arif Alvi on 13 October 2021.[2][3][4][5] In July 2022, the authority's name was changed to include the phrase Khatam an-Nabiyyin, meaning the seal of the prophets, to emphasize the finality of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as the last messenger of God. The name change was proposed by Shahida Akhtar Ali, a former member of the National Assembly from the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F) party, and approved by President Arif Alvi.[6]

The authority has several functions and objectives, such as organizing conferences, seminars, workshops and exhibitions on the life and teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), developing curriculum and textbooks for schools and colleges on Seerat-un-Nabi (the biography of the Prophet), providing scholarships and grants to students and researchers of Seerat-un-Nabi, establishing libraries and research centers on Seerat-un-Nabi, publishing books and journals on Seerat-un-Nabi, and collaborating with national and international organizations on Seerat-un-Nabi related projects.[7][8]
The authority also oversees the celebration of Eid Milad-un-Nabi (the birthday of Prophet Muhammad PBUH) in Pakistan and abroad. It coordinates with the provincial and district governments, as well as religious and civil society organizations, to ensure the proper arrangements and security for the Eid Milad-un-Nabi processions and gatherings. It also organizes special programs and events on Eid Milad-un-Nabi, such as recitation of Naat (poetry in praise of the Prophet), speeches by eminent scholars and personalities, distribution of awards and prizes to the winners of Seerat-un-Nabi competitions, and illumination of public buildings and monuments with green lights.[9][10]
The authority has faced some challenges and controversies since its inception. Some critics have questioned the need for a separate institution for Seerat-un-Nabi, arguing that it would duplicate the work of existing departments and organizations. Some have also raised concerns about the transparency and accountability of the authority, as well as its potential to be used for political purposes. Some have also opposed the name change of the authority, claiming that it was unnecessary and divisive. The authority has defended its role and mandate, stating that it is working for the promotion of peace, harmony and tolerance in the society, in accordance with the vision of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).[11][12] e0e6b7cb5c
