The program began with a recitation from the Holy Quran. Dean of NSU School of Engineering and Physical Sciences, Dr. Mohammad Sahadet Hossain, delivered the welcome address.

As a social reformer, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) stands as an unparalleled example for all time."
In the discussion, Dr. Ahsanul Hadi said, “In today’s world, there is much to discuss regarding the teachings of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him).
