A high-level Palestinian delegation, led by Chief Islamic Justice of Palestine Dr. Mahmoud Al-Habbash, has arrived in Pakistan on a four-day official visit.

The delegation was warmly received in Islamabad by Pakistan Ulema Council Chairman Tahir Mahmood Ashrafi and the Secretary of Religious Affairs. Palestine’s Ambassador to Pakistan, Dr. Zaher, along with senior government officials, also attended the reception to welcome the guests.
During their stay, the Al-Aqsa Mosque Imam in Pakistan and other Palestinian leaders will participate in the 50th International Seerat-un-Nabi Conference on September 6, 2025. This year’s theme emphasizes the role of the state in guiding responsible social media usage in light of the Prophet’s teachings, coinciding with both the 50th anniversary of the conference and the 1500th year of the Prophet’s birth.
The visit carries both religious and political significance, as the Al-Aqsa Mosque Imam in Pakistan will not only attend the Seerat Conference but also hold meetings with Pakistan’s Prime Minister, President, and other senior officials. Dr. Al-Habbash highlighted that Pakistan has always been considered a second home for Palestinians, expressing gratitude for Pakistan’s unwavering support alongside Saudi Arabia and the wider Muslim world.
The timing of the visit is especially important as the humanitarian crisis in Gaza worsens, with over 63,000 Palestinians reportedly killed since October 2023. The Al-Aqsa Mosque Imam in Pakistan is expected to raise concerns about the situation and emphasize the growing momentum for Palestine’s recognition as a free and independent state, while Israel faces increasing isolation internationally.
Pakistan’s leadership has reaffirmed its strong support for Palestine, with Tahir Mahmood Ashrafi declaring that the government and people of Pakistan stand firmly with their Palestinian brothers. He stressed that Pakistan continues to reject Israel as an illegitimate state and backs the establishment of an independent Palestinian homeland.
The Al-Aqsa Mosque Imam in Pakistan, along with other Palestinian representatives, will use the platform of the Seerat-un-Nabi Conference to shed light on the Palestinian struggle. Their presence underscores the religious bond and political unity between the two nations, further strengthening Pakistan’s role as a consistent ally of Palestine.
