In his Holy Birth Week Address, TOBB President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu stated that the paragon of humanity’s salvation, our Prophet has always been the best guide for those wanting to lead just and ethical lives.

Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “The birth of the blessed envoy of the great Allah, our Prophet, heralded joyous news for all humanity.

Hisarcıklıoğlu said in his address:

“It gives us great joy to be experiencing another Holy Birth Week, celebrating the birth of the Beloved Prophet of our great religion, the guide of Muslims and respected throughout the world, His Holiness Muhammed (S.A.V.).

This year, the main theme of the Holy Birth Week activities will be ‘The Holy Prophet, religion and sincerity’. Our civilization is one of sincerity. It is one that disowns those who sleep easy when their neighbors go hungry. Islam is not just the performing of rituals. Islam cannot be considered apart from ethics.

Our Prophet embraced all people and provided an example for justice and ethics through his own life. His peaceful and humane approach is the key for peace in today’s world of wars and disasters.

It should be our goal to emulate the values of mercy and tolerance in bringing resolution to the problems we face today.

His Holiness Muhammed (S.A.V.) is the great Allah’s envoy to all kingdoms in his grace. Those who take Him as our guide will continue in His footsteps with the feelings of friendship and brotherhood.

May the Holy Birth Week, in which we celebrate the birth of the light of humanity, His Holiness and our beloved Prophet Muhammed (S.A.V.) bring joy to all the Islam community.”
