AHLULBAYT SATELLITE CHANNEL LAUNCHES "BILLION
SALAWAT CAMPAIGN" WITH HUGE SUCCESS. PLEDGES
REACH 11 MILLION OVERNIGHT!
The Ahlulbayt Satellite Channel, a leading Islamic
television network, today launched a global
campaign encouraging viewers to recite the
remembrance of Salawat a billion times. The
initiative which marks the birth of the Imam Al
Mahdi was launched on a global scale to pray for
the reappearance of the Awaited Savior.
The campaign's launch was a huge success and was
received by believers in an extraordinary fashion.
Within a mere hour, over one million Salawat were
pledged by viewers and within 6 hours the number
had risen to a whopping 5.5 million in pledged
prayers! By the next morning pledges had reached a
mind boggling 11.4 million as news of the campaign
spread like wildfire.
The expiry date for the campaign is set by the end
of the Holy Month of Ramadhan, but given the rapid
pace at which the pledges are being made the
historic milestone is expected to be reached ahead
of schedule.
People who wish to pledge a set number of Salawat
can contact the channel's campaign headquarters
via email or SMS and state the number they commit
to recite.
Constant campaign updates and highest pledges will
be displayed on the Ahlulbayt Satellite Channel's
screen for the next 45 days. With a number of
individuals and families already making pledges of
1 million each, the campaign is expected to be the
biggest in history.
The official opening remarks of the campaign
stated: " On the occasion of the birth of
Imam Al Mahdi, the Ahlulbayt Satellite Channel
calls unto all believers and those who yearn for
peace and justice to participate in its global
initiative "The Billion Salawat
Campaign". This campaign.. aims to carry out
a small portion of our responsibility towards the
greatest human being; the Holy Prophet (peace be
upon him and his immaculate progeny) and to hasten
the reappearance of the Savior of mankind and the
symbol of hope, peace, and prosperity; Imam Al
Mahdi."
