IRD Showcases Publications at 2nd International Seerat Festival and IBOOX 2025 International Book Exhibition

The Iqbal International Institute for Research and Dialogue (IRD) actively participated in two prestigious knowledge-sharing events in Islamabad during September 2025, underscoring its commitment to promoting research-based scholarship and fostering intellectual engagement.

From 16–18 September 2025, IRD took part in the 2nd International Seerat Festival, organized by the National Rahmatul lil Aalameen Wa Khatamun Nabiyyin Authority (NRKNA) at the Institute of Art & Design Homoiconic, F-11/1, Islamabad. On this occasion, IRD established a dedicated stall featuring its diverse range of scholarly publications. The display drew wide attention from academics, researchers, students, and general visitors.

The stall was honored by the gracious presence of Mr. Ahsan Iqbal, Honorable Federal Minister for Planning, Development & Special Initiatives and Inter-Provincial Coordination, Government of Pakistan. The Minister commended the quality, depth, and thematic diversity of IRD’s publications. As a token of appreciation, Mr. Nasir Farid, representing the Institute, presented selected titles to the Honorable Minister, reaffirming IRD’s sustained commitment to the dissemination of knowledge.

Immediately following the Festival, IRD showcased its publications at the IBOOX 2025 International Book Exhibition, held from 19–21 September 2025 at the Pak-China Friendship Centre, Islamabad. The Institute’s participation once again received keen interest from the scholarly community, students, and general readers, further highlighting the relevance and depth of IRD’s research contributions.

Through its active engagement in both the Seerat Festival and IBOOX 2025, the Iqbal International Institute for Research and Dialogue reaffirmed its mission of advancing research-based knowledge, encouraging critical thought, and contributing to contemporary scholarly discourses at national and international forums.
