Asfa Holding Chairman of the Board of Directors, Asaf Atasoy, included the following statements in his message;

We are experiencing the peace and happiness of observing the “Mawlid Kandili”, the anniversary of the birth of our Prophet (SAW), who brought us the age-old and universal message of Islam, who was sent as a symbol of grace, mercy and good morals to humanity, and as a mercy to the worlds.

I thank Almighty Allah for allowing us to reach another Mawlid al-Nabi, and I send my blessings and salutations upon the Master of the Worlds, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Mawlid al-Nabi is a blessed day that witnesses humanity’s most blessed birth. The Prophet’s path is the path of beauty, truth, justice, loyalty, and morality. His path is the path of mercy, compassion, tolerance, unity, and togetherness. This path transformed a society of resentment, hatred, and revenge into a society of love, affection, compassion, and mercy.

I hope that Mawlid al-Nabi will be an occasion for us to properly commemorate our Prophet and to correctly understand and comprehend the sacred messages he wanted to convey to humanity.

On this occasion, I hope that we will truly comprehend the beautiful moral values ​​of our beloved Prophet and the sacred message he conveyed to humanity and apply them in every aspect of our lives. I hope that Mawlid Kandili will bring peace, love, brotherhood, justice, compassion, and tranquility to our country, our beloved nation, the Islamic world, and all of humanity.
