The prime minister offered nawafil at the Roza on Wednesday evening. Afterwards, the caretaker prime minister visited the International Fair and Museum of the Prophet (SAW)’s Biography and Islamic Civilization, located adjacent to Masjad-e-Nabvi.

Dr Nasir Misfir Al-Zahrani, Secretary of the Board of Directors of the Prophet (SAW)’s Museum, warmly welcomed the prime minister. 

The prime minister was given a comprehensive briefing on the historical museum, which showcases the life and teachings of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) as well as the Islamic civilisation.

PM Kakar expressed his deep appreciation for the museum and applauded the efforts made to preserve and present the rich Islamic heritage.

As a token of appreciation, Dr Nasir Misfir Al-Zahrani presented the prime minister with a shield and books, symbolising the cherished connection between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia in promoting Islamic heritage and fostering mutual understanding.

The museum chronicles the Prophet (SAW)’s journey and highlights significant events and teachings through multimedia. It also showcases Islamic civilisation’s achievements in various fields. The museum promotes interfaith dialogue and understanding, fostering respect for diverse beliefs and cultures.

 Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa on Thursday reprimanded a senior counsel for not presenting arguments related to the case. 

CJP Isa conducted hearing of the tax revision case. 

The chief justice, while expressing his indignation at not giving arguments, asked lawyer Fayaz Shirazi to present arguments on the merits of the case. “Tell me if your application is admissible,” the CJP said. 

Lawyer Shirazi said his case was time barred. The CJP said the court wanted to hear his case and he was saying the case was time barred. “You are not a clerk but a senior advocate of the Supreme Court,” he remarked. 

Justice Isa said he had great respect for him for being a senior lawyer of the apex court. In his remarks, CJP Isa further said that filing such cases affected fixing of other cases.

The chief justice rejected the review petition for not presenting arguments by the lawyer.
