Lahore, August 12, 2022 (PPI-OT):In a special statement on the occasion of the 75th Independence Day celebrations, Chairman MQI Supreme Council Dr Hassan Mohi-ud-Din Qadri has said where there is the rule of ignorance; there would be slavery and subordination. He said that every household needs to be turned into a center of knowledge to get rid of social, political and economic slavery. He said that today’s Pakistan is facing a clash between the forces of the past and the demands of the new age, adding that the youths are not ready to accept the attitudes that promote and support the status quo.

Dr Hassan Mohi-ud-Din Qadri said that the intellectual and educational movement spearheaded by Sir Syed Ahmad Khan played a leading role in the freedom movement. He said that the East India Company resorted to massacre and merciless oppression in order to making the people of the sub-continent their slave and strengthening their hold on power. He said that the first serious and effective effort to win back freedom was made by none other than Sir Syed Ahmad Khan in the form of the Ali Garh movement.

Chairman MQI Supreme Council said that the educational movement of Ali Garh produced an educated and enlightened leadership and infused a spirit for independence among the people, a process that led to the creation of Pakistan as the largest Muslim polity on the map of the world. He said that Pakistanis today face economic slavery and there is a need to run an educational movement on the lines of Ali Garh to free it from shackles, which is possible by making every household hub of knowledge and education. He said that the only way to getting rid of deprivation, want and slavery is the acquisition of knowledge.

Dr Hassan Mohi-ud-Din Qadri said that it is a matter of great satisfaction that our educated middle class is taking keen interest in the affairs of the country and want an end to the status quo. He said that failure to appreciate and analyse new dynamics will be dangerous. He warned that extremist reactions will be born if we continue to feign ignorance of the grave issues facing us. He said that the youths are not ready to accept the status quo; therefore, there is a need to strengthen and promote the personalities and movements at the state level that are working for the promotion of knowledge and learning.

Chairman MQI Supreme Council said that ad-hoc policies have caused a lot of damage, putting the country in the depth of crises. He said that outdated thinking and attitude wedded to the old ways of life is the biggest hurdle in the way of the change of system.

Dr Hassan Mohi-ud-Din Qadri said that Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri has made MQI the movement of knowledge that is operating globally to promote education, enlightenment and awareness on the pattern of Ali Garh movement. Thanks to the personal efforts of Shaykh-ul-Islam, MQI has gifted the nation with Minhaj University Lahore, Nizam-ul-Madaris Pakistan, College of Shariah and Islamic Sciences, Minhaj College for Women, Tehfeez-ul-Quran College, and Minhaj Education Society where hundreds of thousands of students are getting quality but inexpensive education. He said that MQI is playing its due role in promoting knowledge and increasing literacy rate in addition to working for the promotion of peace, interfaith dialogue and harmony in the world.

Lahore, July 30, 2022 (PPI-OT):An intellectual sitting was arranged by Minhaj-ul-Quran Ulama Council to pay tributes to Sayyiduna Hazrat Umar Farooq (Radiya-Llahu Anhu), the second Caliph of Islam, on his martyrdom anniversary.

Addressing the gathering, Allama Imdadullah Qadri, president of Minhaj-ul-Quran Ulama Council, said that Hazrat Umar Farooq (Radiya-Llahu anhu) is a revered personality whose legendary courage, excellent character, integrity and the traditions of selfless and service-oriented caliphate are the bright chapter of Islamic history. He said that the Holy Prophet (PBUH) prayed for Hazrat Umar Farooq (Radiya-Llahu anhu) to join the fold of Islam.

He said that the second Caliph was the best administrator and ruler who introduced massive reforms and gave a vision of human welfare as bedrock of governance. He said that his period of caliphate saw the extension of the boundaries of the Islamic empire as conquests came aplenty. He said that his contributions and reforms are remembered even today after the passage of 1400 years as a model for the modern states to follow.

Allama Mir Asif Akbar, Secretary General of Minhaj-ul-Quran Ulama Council, said in his speech that the Holy Prophet (PBUH) prayed to Allah Almighty to strengthen Islam through whosoever was closer to Him, whether Hazrat Umar Farooq (Radiya-Llahu anhu) or Abu Jahal. He said that a day had hardly passed that Hazrat Umar Farooq (Radiya-Llahu anhu) presented himself in the company of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and requested to be ushered in the fold of Islam.

Allama Mir Asif Akbar said that Hazrat Umar Farooq’s (Radiya-Llahu anhu) acceptance of Islam was a watershed moment in history of Islam. He said that soon after he became a believer, the Azan was given aloud in the courtyard of the Holy Kaaba followed by Salah. He said that Allah Almighty endowed the power of articulation and majesty on him, as the infidels used to fear him at the mention of his name. He said that Hazrat Umar Farooq (Radiya-Llahu anhu) was a great reformer, a ruler, administrator, and the commander of the military who has amazing conquests to his credit.

He sharpened the contours of the State of Madina and further improvised it. He said that if the Muslim rulers want to enjoy the respect and prestige, then they should follow Hazrat Umar Farooq (Radiya-Llahu anhu) in his footsteps. Allama Ghulam Asghar Siddiqui, Mufti Khalil Hanfi, Allama Usman Sialvi, Allama Latif Madni, Allama Muhammad Rafique Randhawa, Allama Akram Tayyab and others were present on the occasion.

Lahore, July 21, 2022 (PPI-OT):An intellectual gathering was arranged at the MQI central secretariat to mark the martyrdom anniversary of Hazrat Usman Ghani (R.A), the caliph of Islam. President Minhaj-ul-Quran Ulama Council Allama Imdadullah Qadri, Allama Mir Asif Akbar and a number of religious scholars and intellectuals attended the gathering.

In his speech on the occasion, Allama Imdadullah Qadri said that there are many lessons for the rulers of the day in the way Hazrat Usman Ghani (R.A) conducted the government during his caliphate. He said that the caliph of Islam gave top priority to Shariah in his system of governance and made sure that the Islamic teachings are implemented in all walks of life.

He said that it is the ruler of the day who is duty bound to implement the Islamic teachings in his personal life followed by other office-holders of the government, adding that the idea here is that such a dignified conduct becomes a source of inspiration for the masses.

President Minhaj-ul-Quran Ulama Council said that the period of the third caliphate was a source of guidance like that of other great caliphs. He said that the rulers of the Islamic countries can learn from the caliphate for the determination of their governing principles, setting of priorities, and the administration of justice. He said that every aspect of the blessed life of Hazrat Usman Ghani (R.A), who was personification of piety, is a beacon of light not just for Muslims but also entire humanity.

Allama Mir Asif Akbar, General Secretary of the Ulama Council, said that Hazrat Usman Ghani (R.A) took up the responsibility of the government at a difficult time. He said that Islam got strengthened and became powerful as a result of his wisdom and efforts.

He said that he is that revered personality in Islam who married two daughters of the Holy Prophet (pbuh). His manner of governance was exemplary, which will continue to provide guidance to the rulers for times to come. The third Caliph of Islam wrote letters to governors and top office-holders of his caliphate in which he instructed them to ensure welfare activities and not just confine themselves to tax collection.

Allama Muhammad Ashfaq Chishti, Allama Mufti Khalil Hanafi, Allama Usman Sialvi, Allama Farooq ul Hassan, Allama Syed Khursheed ul Hassan Shah, Allama Abu Bakr Chishti, and Allama Muhammad Latif Madani attended the intellectual gatherings.
