Karachi, November 05, 2021 (PPI-OT):Sir Syed University of Engineering and Technology (SSUET), Aligarh Institute of Technology (AIT) and Haji Rafiq Pardesi jointly organized the Seerat-un-Nabi Conference regarding Jashan-e-Eid Milad-un-Nabi at the campus that was attended by Haji Rafiq Pardesi, Chancellor Jawaid Anwar, Vice Chancellor Prof. Dr. Vali Uddin, General Secretary AMUOBA, Muhammad Arshad Khan, Registrar Syed Sarfraz Ali, deans, HODs and a large number of students, faculty, staff and AMUOBA members and others. Renowned Naat Khwan Muhammad Khawar Naqshbandi, Tabsheer ul Haq Thanvi, and Sarwar Madani enthralled the audience with their soul-stirring naat khwani.

Students of SSUET and ATI presented Qaseeda Burda Shareef and dua was done by Allama Abdul Mannan Abdul Razzaq Makki. Emphasizing upon the divine features of the Seerat-un-Nabi, renowned philanthropist and business tycoon Haji Rafiq Pardesi, said that “We shall be following the Holy Prophet, if sincerely following the Quran in its totality. Our Nabi totally changed the history of humankind and the miracle of Hazrat Mohammad (SAW) was that he brought out men from darkness into light by shedding their ignorance. The success depends upon remembering Allah and following the preaching of Hazrat Mohammad (SAW).

Speaking on the soulful occasion, Chancellor SSUET, Jawaid Anwar, said that the life of the holy prophet Muhammad (SAW) is the mirror of Quran’s teachings. Seerat-un-Nabi is the source of inspiration and guidance for every Muslim. Addressing the conference, distinguished religious scholar Abdul Mannan Abdul Razzaq Makki, said that Hazrat Adam was a good town planner and established the cities. Hazrat Idrees introduced engineering and civilization. Completion of the religion took place gradually and systematically. The life of Prophet Muhammad was the true reflection of Holy Quran.

Islam allows women empowerment but restrict immoral activities. Women participated in wars. Women are an effective part of the society and we should take the advantage of their energy and skills. Allama Muhammad Ebrahim Qadri Mahmoodi said that if you get closer to religion that means you get closer to the Nabi, and ultimately, through this, you identify the creator, ALLAH. Life of prophet is an inspiring example to follow. Noshaba Siddiqui conducted the event beautifully.

Late power-hitting and disciplined bowling sends New Zealand second 

Dubai, November 05, 2021 (PPI-OT):New Zealand moved above Afghanistan into second spot in Group 2 following a 52-run win over a spirited Namibia in Sharjah.

Namibia’s tidy start with the ball was undone as Glenn Phillips and Jimmy Neesham bludgeoned 67 in a decisive final four overs, finishing unbeaten on 39 and 35 respectively.

The Black Caps bowlers then kept their discipline to see their side home and leave them well placed to seal the second qualifying spot from Group 2 in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021.

Put in, New Zealand openers Martin Guptill and Daryl Mitchell walked out with the aim of building a large total knowing net run rate could be crucial to their qualification hopes.

The pair added 30 before Guptill sent a low catch to Ruben Trumpelmann at mid-off as David Wiese struck with the first ball of the fifth over.

Mitchell followed his partner back to the pavilion just after the powerplay as he misjudged a delivery from Bernard Scholtz and skied to Michael van Lingen at cover.

At the halfway stage of their innings, New Zealand were going at just over a run a ball as the Namibian bowlers kept the Blackcaps to 62 for two.

Kane Williamson’s side were further restricted by World Cup debutant Karl Birkenstock, whose two overs cost just nine, and New Zealand were 81 for three when the Black Caps skipper chopped on against his opposite number Gerhard Erasmus for 28.

Birkenstock and Erasmus then combined to dismiss Devon Conway, Erasmus with a pin-point accurate throw to the non-striker’s end where Birkenstock whipped off the bails in the nick of time.

Erasmus’s good work was then slightly undone as he conceded 14 off his final over, ending with figures of one for 22.

It was the same story for the usually tidy David Wiese, JJ Smit and Trumpelmann as New Zealand accelerated at the death to end on 163 for four, Neesham and Phillips putting on 76 for the fifth wicket.

In reply, Namibia started steadily as openers Stephan Baard and van Lingen went at a run a ball through the powerplay but just as van Lingen looked to be getting settled, Neesham bowled him for 25.

Baard went in the next over, bowled by Mitchell Santner, before Ish Sodhi got the key wicket of Gerhard Erasmus as Namibia fell to 56 for three at the halfway mark.

Crucially, Wiese was now at the middle and before long he saw a powerful drive off Sodhi deflected on to the bowler’s forehead; having been cleared to continue, the spinner saw his third over cost 15 as Wiese and Zane Green showed no mercy by each smashing him for six.

Wiese could do no more damage, however, as Tim Southee trapped him lbw and he had to depart for 16 off 17 balls.

While New Zealand had accelerated in the 17th over, Namibia stuttered as Trent Boult restricted them to just four runs before Southee got another wicket, Boult proving a safe pair of hands to dismiss Green for 23.

Boult then claimed two scalps in his final over as both Nicol Loftie-Eaton and Craig Williams had to depart for second-ball ducks.

Milne conceded just five from the final over as Namibia finished on 111 for seven to see New Zealand move to second and Kane Williamson became the Black Caps most successful T20I captain.

Scores in brief

New Zealand beat Namibia at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah by 52 runs.

New Zealand 163/4 in 20 overs (Glenn Phillips 39 not out; Jimmy Neesham 35 not out; Bernard Scholtz 1/15, Gerhard Erasmus 1/22)

Namibia 111/7 in 20 overs (Michael van Lingen 25, Zane Green 23; Tim Southee 2/15, Trent Boult 2/20)

Player of the Match: Jimmy Neesham (New Zealand)
