I extend my heartfelt greetings of Eid al-Fitr to all Muslims. Ramadan is a comprehensive training in self-purification, self-discipline, and closeness to God, and Eid al-Fitr is a day to renew our commitment to carrying these spiritual lessons forward in our lives.
On this occasion, let us include the needy and underprivileged in our celebrations, for this is the true spirit of Islamic brotherhood.
#EidMubarak
Today is that magnificent and blessed night when Allah Almighty (ﷻ), opens the doors of His boundless mercy. It is a night of #devotion, #repentance, turning back to Him, and renewing one’s covenant with Him.
On this blessed night, the deeds of His servants are presented; decisions regarding sustenance, lifespan, and matters of destiny are decreed; and the Most Merciful Lord, out of His grace, forgives the sins of His creation.
Every moment of life is a sacred trust, and the door to making amends for our shortcomings has not yet closed. Whoever returns to #Allah (ﷻ) with a broken heart, sincere remorse, and true repentance is enveloped in the shade of Divine mercy.

Al-Hidayah 2025 (Last session, Day 3, 4th August): Final Keynote by Shaykh-ul-Islam on "The Islamic Epistemology of Hadith Verification"
The concluding keynote of Al-Hidayah 2025 was delivered today by His Eminence Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri on the subject, “The Islamic Epistemology of Hadith Verification.” This powerful lecture brought to a close a transformative three-part series exploring the authenticity of Hadith and Sunnah, a critical analysis of the Western Historical Critical Method, and a detailed exposition on the Islamic intellectual tradition of verifying prophetic knowledge.
Before an audience of over 1,300 attendees at the University of Warwick, Shaykh-ul-Islam introduced the concept of epistemology (the study of how knowledge is justified) drawing from both philosophical traditions and Islamic sources. He framed Islamic epistemology as inherently divine, rooted not in human speculation but in revelation from Allah ﷻ. Central to this was the Qur’anic declaration in Surah Al-Najm (53:3-4): “He does not speak of his own desire; it is only revelation sent to him.”
This distinction was expanded through the explanation of two types of divine revelation: al-Wahy al-Jali (explicit revelation, i.e. the Qur’an) and al-Wahy al-Khafi (implicit revelation, i.e. the Sunnah). The Prophet ﷺ received both, with the Qur’an being the recited word of Allah, and the Sunnah comprising the Prophet’s explanations, approvals, and actions conveyed in his own words under divine instruction. Shaykh-ul-Islam cited multiple Qur’anic verses (including 4:113 and 33:34) to establish that “al-Kitab” (the Book) and “al-Hikmah” (the Wisdom) were revealed together.
Shaykh-ul-Islam further clarified that Hadith and Sunnah are not separate concepts. The Sunnah is manifested through the authenticated Hadith – narrations transmitted with chains of reliability. Scholars throughout Islamic history, including the authors of the major compilations like Sunan Abi Daud, Sunan al-Tirmidhi, and Sunan al-Nasa’i, treated Hadith and Sunnah as synonymous. Shaykh-ul-Islam firmly refuted modern claims that attempt to decouple the two or reject Hadith while affirming Sunnah, noting that such views often stem from confusion, ignorance, or misguidance, including the distortions promoted by figures like Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani.
Addressing common misconceptions, he emphasised that Hadith was not compiled centuries after the Prophet ﷺ but rather recorded during his own lifetime. He referenced 42 written collections by the Companions and 42 by the Tabi‘een, alongside Imam Bukhari’s unmatched methodology of verifying full chains of narration. His own 6-volume encyclopaedic work, Al-Mawsu‘a al-Qadirriyya, was cited as a resource detailing over 1,000 transmitters and the science of Hadith authentication.
Crucially, Shaykh-ul-Islam contrasted the Islamic Historical Critical Method, which is rooted in rigorous scholarship and preservation, with the Western Historical Critical Method, which seeks to question the authenticity of revelation through secularised assumptions. He made clear that the Islamic framework is built not on doubt but on verified transmission, love of the Prophet ﷺ, and the responsibility to preserve divine guidance for future generations.
The lecture also explored how many fundamental rulings in Islam, from prayer to inheritance, intercession to ethical conduct, are established in detail only through the Sunnah. Without Hadith, the meanings and practical applications of the Qur’an remain incomplete. For example, while the Qur’an commands prayer, it is the Hadith that instructs Muslims to pray on specific limbs or details the nature of trials in the grave – realities not outlined in the Qur’anic text but conveyed through authentic prophetic narrations.
Shaykh-ul-Islam issued a heartfelt call to action. He urged attendees not to become dormant believers but active da‘ees (callers to Islam and its authentic teachings) who cascade knowledge to their families and communities. He reminded the audience that when Allah wills good for someone, He grants them understanding of the faith. This demands clarity, sincerity, and the rejection of flawed modern interpretations.
Importantly, the audience collectively affirmed their acceptance of this guidance and pledged to enrich themselves with the Sunnah. They committed to bringing the beautiful teachings of Islam to their families, blood relations, and wider communities, so all may benefit from the peace of the religion and obtain salvation in the Hereafter through the intercession of the Holy Prophet ﷺ. Undoubtedly, a reward only attainable through acts done in this life to seek the pleasure of Allah Almighty.
He closed by warning of a time when Muslims, especially youth, may feel isolated or shy about expressing their identity and commitment to faith. These are the Ghuraba (the strangers) who continue the mission of the Prophet ﷺ despite social pressure or indifference. Shaykh-ul-Islam offered them glad tidings and prayed for their success. He encouraged everyone to join a jama‘ah (faithful community), especially Minhaj-ul-Quran International, not just in name but in practice, with regular activity, service, and propagation of the Sunnah as defining characteristics of their lives.
Present once more with Shaykh-ul-Islam were Professor Dr Hassan Mohiuddin Qadri (Chairman Supreme Council, MQI), Shaykh Hammad Mustafa al-Madani al-Qadri, Shaykh Ahmad Mustafa al-Arabi al-Qadri, Dr Faisal Iqbal Khan, Dr Hamza Ansari, Dr Ghazala Qadri (President MWL International), Baji Khadija Qurat-ul-Ain Qadri, and Baji Basima Hassan Qadri, alongside senior leaders and scholars from across the globe.
With this final keynote, Al-Hidayah 2025 concluded a powerful three-day intellectual and spiritual journey. Its 1,300+ attendees have been equipped with clarity of belief, confidence in the prophetic tradition, and a collective resolve to become torchbearers of true Islamic epistemology.

سانحہ ماڈل ٹاؤن: 11 سال بعد بھی انصاف کی راہ تکتی نظریں
17 جون 2014 کو پاکستان کے 14 نہتے شہریوں کو بے دردی سے شہید کیا گیا، خواتین، بچوں، بوڑھوں اور نوجوانوں پر بدترین تشدد کیا گیا۔ گیارہ برس گزرنے کے باوجود شہداء کے ورثاء آج بھی انصاف کے منتظر ہیں اور معزز عدلیہ کی طرف دیکھ رہے ہیں۔ انصاف میں تاخیر مظلوم کا حق چھیننے کے مترادف ہے۔
شیخ الاسلام ڈاکٹر محمد طاہرالقادری نے ہمیشہ قانون کی پاسداری اور قانونی حدود میں رہتے ہوئے اپنے حقوق کے لیے آواز بلند کرنے کی تلقین کی۔ ہم آج بھی اسی عزم کے ساتھ نچلی عدالتوں سے لے کر سپریم کورٹ تک قانونی جدوجہد جاری رکھے ہوئے ہیں اور معزز عدالتوں سے اپیل کرتے ہیں کہ مظلوموں کو انصاف فراہم کریں، کیونکہ کوئی بھی قانون سے بالاتر نہیں ہے۔ ہم شہداء کے ورثاء کی استقامت کو سلام پیش کرتے ہیں اور دعا گو ہیں کہ اللہ تعالیٰ شہداء کے درجات بلند فرمائے اور ان کے اہل خانہ کو صبرِ جمیل عطا کرے۔ آمین۔

آج 17 جون 2025ء ہے، آج سے گیارہ برس قبل ماڈل ٹاؤن لاہور میں نہتے کارکنان کو خون میں نہلایا گیا اُن کی لاشیں گرائی گئیں، خواتین، بچوں، بوڑھوں اور جوانوں کو بیہمانہ تشدد کا نشانہ بنایا گیا۔ مسلسل 12 گھنٹے تک خون کی ہولی کھیلی گئی۔ یہ ایسا ظلم ہے جو لائیو کوریج کی صورت میں پوری قوم نے دیکھا۔ اس کے باوجود انصاف ملنا دور کی بات، انصاف کی طرف پیش رفت بھی نہیں ہو رہی۔ سپریم کورٹ کے فُل بینچ نے 5 دسمبر 2018 کے دن سانحہ کی شفاف تحقیقات کے لیے ایک غیر جانبدارJIT تشکیل دینے کا حکم دیا۔ اس JIT نے مسلسل 3 ماہ کے اندر 281 افراد کے بیانات قلمبند کئے، دونوں طرف کے متعلقہ تمام افراد سے تفتیش کی گئی، اور اپنا بیشتر کام مکمل کر لیا مگر جب JIT کی طرف سے عدالت میں تحقیقاتی رپورٹ چالان کی صورت میں پیش کرنے کا مرحلہ آیا تو ایک ملزم ہیڈ کانسٹیبل کی درخواست پر لاہور ہائیکورٹ کی طرف سے سٹے آرڈر جاری کردیا گیا اور انصاف کا عمل وہیں رُک گیا۔ لاہور ہائی کورٹ میں ہم اس کیس میں 56 بار پیش ہوئے، 5 بار بینچ ٹوٹا اور یہ سٹے آرڈر تاحال جوں کا توں ہے۔ ہمارا فقط ایک ہی سوال ہے کہ انصاف کی طرف جانے والے راستے 11 سال گزر جانے کے بعد بھی بند کیوں ہیں؟ ہماری عدلیہ اور مقتدر حلقوں سے درخواست ہے کہ قانون کے مطابق تفتیش اور فیئر ٹرائل ہونے دیا جائے۔ عدالت جو بھی فیصلہ کرے گی وہ ہمارے لئے قابل قبول ہوگا۔ 11ویں برسی کے موقع پر شہدائے ماڈل ٹاؤن کے درجات کی بلندی کے لیے دعا گو ہوں اور حصول انصاف کی جدوجہد میں استقامت اور ثابت قدمی کے ساتھ شریک گواہان، شہداء کے ورثاء اور وکلاء کے ذمہ دارانہ قانونی کردار پر انہیں خراجِ تحسین پیش کرتا ہوں۔ شہید کارکنان فقط کارکنان نہیں تھے وہ میرے بیٹے اور بیٹیاں تھیں، ان کے ساتھ ہونے والے ظلم کے خلاف حصول انصاف کی جدوجہد آخری سانس تک جاری رہے گی۔ اگر دنیا کی عدالتوں سے انصاف نہ ملا تو ایک عدالت قیامت کے روز بھی لگے گی، ان شاءاللہ وہاں پر پھر پورا پورا عدل ہوگا۔

The Declaration of Ghadir marks a momentous day in Islamic history — the day when the Holy Prophet ﷺ proclaimed Sayyiduna Ali (عليه السلام) as the "Mawla" (guardian and leader) of the entire Muslim Ummah. On this occasion, the love for Imam Ali (عليه السلام) and devotion to the noble Ahl al-Bayt were declared as essential elements of true faith. #Ghadir is not merely a historical event; it is a profound declaration of deep-rooted love for the #AhlulBayt and a cornerstone for understanding the essence of religion.
Professor Dr. Hussain Mohi-ud-Din Qadri, Deputy Chairman of the Board of Governors at Minhaj University Lahore, arrived at 2nd day of the 7th International Conference on World Religions (ICWR 2024) held at Minhaj University Lahore.
Upon his arrival, the Registrar Dr. Khurram Shahzad, Abdul Rahman Malik, Major Salman, Shahzad Rasool, Tayyab Zia, and other organizing committee members warmly welcomed him and presented the bouquet of flowers.

His Eminence Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri delivered his final lecture on the third day of Al-Hidayah 2024, focusing on the topic of Repentance (Tawbah) in Melbourne, Australia.
His Eminence Shaykh-ul-Islam was accompanied by Chairman Supreme Council Dr. Hassan Mohiuddin Qadri, President Minhaj-ul-Quran International Prof. Dr. Hussain Mohi-ud-Din Qadri, President Minhaj-ul-Quran Women League International Dr. Ghazala Qadri, Mrs. Fizzah Hussain Qadri, and Shaykh Ahmad Mustafa al-Arabi al-Qadri.
His Eminence emphasized the importance of Tawbah, stating that every Muslim is obliged to turn to Allah in repentance. Repentance is crucial as it divides people into two categories: repentant servants or transgressors. There is no third option. Being unremorseful leads one to become a wrongdoer, as Allah commands us to constantly repent to Him.
Shaykh-ul-Islam highlighted that Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used to repent more than 70 times a day, and in another hadith, more than 100 times. Despite being infallible and pure, prophets engaged in repentance to elevate their ranks. For them, Tawbah was a means to attain proximity to Allah. For believers, it is compulsory in every situation to turn from the darkness of disbelief to the light of belief and obedience.
He elaborated that Tawbah means returning to Allah Almighty, returning to obedience, piety, and righteousness. It involves turning from disbelief to belief, from disobedience to obedience, and recognizing that the ability to do good deeds is a favor from Allah Almighty, not our own doing.
Shaykh-ul-Islam stressed that believers should continuously work for the propagation of Allah’s deen but always remain humble and thankful. It is Allah Almighty’s blessing that enables us to serve His deen. When we give to the poor or perform any righteous act, we should never feel that we have done a favor. Instead, we must recognize that Allah Almighty has chosen us as His servants. He teaches us to get attached to the righteous and chosen servants of Him. Guidance cannot be protected without leaving the company of those who incur Allah Almighty’s wrath.
Emphasizing the importance of pure intentions, Shaykh-ul-Islam referenced Rabia Basri’s emphasis on worshipping Allah Almighty only for His sake, not out of fear of Hell or desire for Heaven. True love for Allah Almighty involves seeking nothing but His pleasure.
His Eminence Shaykh-ul-Islam concluded with a profound dua for all participants, asking Allah Almighty to grant them purity and the strength to follow the path of righteousness.
Esteemed attendees and a substantial gathering of youth from across Australia graced the event with their presence.
