UPDATE: The crackdown appears to be widening. After Aleema Khan’s 30-day detention, family members say homes linked to Imran Khan’s sisters have been raided — and that Aleema’s two sons and her 20-year-old niece Sakina have also been detained.

The military regime of Asim Munir abducted Imran Khan’s whole family. His three sisters their children even little infants. This is cruel like Hitler. The world must speak. Shameful how western democracies close their eyes on all these violations of rule of law democracy human rights and freedom of speech. In Pakistan they are rather empowering this regime. The world must speak.

[Kasim Khan @Kasim_Khan_1999]

Hearing news that my cousin’s children are now safe 🙏.

Meanwhile two more of my cousins have been arrested. Azeem and Sakeenah.

No reasons given.

No location given.

[Shahrez Khan @Shahrez_KhanPK]

My mother, Aleema Khan, was abducted after leaving home this morning. Our family has had no contact or news of her whereabouts. She is on bail in all cases against her in Lahore. We demand the government immediately disclose her whereabouts and ensure her safe return.

@Aleema_KhanPK

[Kasim Khan @Kasim_Khan_1999]

And it get’s worse.

My cousin Shahrez’s 2 children of 4 and 6 years old are now missing.

There is no limit to their cruelty. Complete disregard for humanity.

[Sheikh Waqas Akram @SheikhWaqqas]

Punjab Police have arrested both sisters of Imran Khan, along with their children and the sons of Aleema Khan Sahiba. They have been placed in an armoured vehicle and are being taken to an unknown location. Shame on the Government of Punjab and Punjab Police. This action is illegal and is strongly condemned.

[Kasim Khan @Kasim_Khan_1999]

This is a disgrace.

Now my Aunts Dr. Uzma and Noureen, along with my cousins Shershah and Shahrez have now been abducted as well.

They have broken into my aunties and cousins houses and forced them
into vehicles with no explanation.

No reasons for arrest have been stated.

No news has been released as to where they have been taken.

This is criminal behaviour. Inexcusable. The Pakistani people are petrified of their own leaders.

No upstanding nation should tolerate this criminal establishment. Intervention is now imperative.

The world MUST take action.

[Kasim Khan @Kasim_Khan_1999]

Today, my aunt, Aleema Khan, has been abducted by police in Lahore. Our family has been told nothing about where she has been taken. Her family and lawyers cannot reach her.

This is the behaviour of a fascist government - abducting people, terrorising families and trampling human rights, due process and the rule of law while pretending to stand for democracy.

First they imprisoned my father. Now they are coming after his family.

We demand immediate access to her for her family and lawyers, full disclosure of where she is being held, and her immediate release.

The world cannot keep looking away from what is happening in Pakistan.

Prime Minister @andyburnham and Foreign Secretary @Ed_Miliband : how much longer will Britain remain silent?

For three years the father of my two sons, and Pakistan’s former Prime Minister, Imran Khan, has been brutally penalised by his political opponents, in a personal vendetta by Army Chief, Asim Munir,  which according to the UN,  amounts to torture and which  is now taking a potentially fatal toll on his physical and mental health. 

He has endured 3 years of solitary confinement. For nearly ten months now his family has been denied contact with him. He has been deprived of the most basic human contact, denied access to books, lawyers and doctors.

The international human-rights standards are unequivocal. Under the UN’s Nelson Mandela Rules, solitary confinement lasting more than 15 consecutive days is prohibited and amounts to torture.

He has endured this treatment not for 15 days, but for three years.

Pakistan’s own Supreme Court has now intervened: ordering comprehensive  medical treatment, access to his personal doctor, regular family visits and twice-weekly calls with his sons.

Yet those orders are being defied.

This is no longer simply a Pakistani political matter. It is a human-rights emergency.

He has deep and lifelong ties to Britain. He studied at Oxford University, captained Oxford University cricket and spent years playing county cricket in England. His relationship with this country stretches back more than half a century. His charitable activities were internationally recognised, and  include building the only free cancer hospital in Pakistan as well as a university.

His sons, my two boys, Sulaiman and Kasim, are British citizens. They have been forced to watch their father’s health decline from thousands of miles away, prevented from visiting him, denied visas, publicly threatened by government officials with arrest themselves, and even denied court-mandated regular phone calls. 

I have repeatedly appealed to the UK government to intervene. Purported attempts at back channelling have evidently failed. The previous Foreign Secretary @DavidLammy informed me in writing that Britain would not  intervene if my sons, British citizens, are arrested when they travel to Pakistan to visit their father. 

@FCDOGovUK: Britain must now speak out publicly and unequivocally. Demand that Pakistan comply with its own Supreme Court;  restore Imran Khan’s medical access, his right to see his family, end his prolonged isolation and uphold his fundamental human rights.

Pakistan is a Commonwealth country. Britain has a long and proud tradition of standing against arbitrary detention, inhumane treatment and the denial of fundamental rights. Those principles mean very little if we invoke them only selectively and neglect them when inconvenient.
This an appeal to the new Burnham government  to please now do the right thing.

Day 2 | al-Hidayah 2026 | Canada

His Eminence Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri Lectures on the Love of Allah and the Longing for the Divine Vision

Hamilton, Ontario (Canada): The second day of al-Hidayah Canada 2026, the first-ever three-day residential, spiritual and educational camp of its kind in North America at McMaster University, featured the second part of the three-day keynote lecture series by His Eminence Shaykh-ul-Islam Prof. Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri. The session addressed the spiritual treatment of heedlessness ghafla (غفلة) through the love of Allah the Almighty and the longing for the vision of His Divine Countenance.

Continuing the lecture series "From Humanity to Depravity: A Moral and Spiritual Descent," Shaykh-ul-Islam explained that while the opening session had analysed the process of moral decline, beginning with ghaflah, the second session would present one remedy drawn from the complete prescription for its removal izālat al-ghafla (إزالة الغفلة). This is only achievable through kindling the love of Allah in one’s hearts and nurture the desire for the moment when the believers will behold His Delightful Countenance in the Hereafter. He noted that the third and concluding session would explore the psychological, neurological, Qur'anic and spiritual dimensions of ghaflah in detail, along with the complete methodology of its treatment.

The Supplication of the Beloved Prophet (ﷺ)

Shaykh-ul-Islam anchored the session in the supplication of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ), reported by Imam Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal in his Musnad, Imam al-Nasāʾī in his Sunan, and Ibn Ḥibbān in his Ṣaḥīḥ:
"O Allah, I ask You for the delight of gazing upon Your Noble Countenance and for the longing to meet You." (As’aluka ladhdhata al-naẓari ilā wajhika wa al-shawqa ilā liqā’iqa (أسألك لذة النظر إلى وجهك والشوق إلى لقائك).

He described this as among the most beloved supplications to the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) and invited the audience to make it the direction and longing of their own lives.

The Promised Vision of the Divine Countenance

Drawing upon the agreed-upon hadith of Sayyidunā Jarīr ibn ʿAbd Allāh (R.A), Shaykh-ul-Islam explained the Prophetic promise: "Indeed, you will see your Lord just as you see this full moon, without difficulty in seeing Him." He elaborated that the wording ʿiyānan (عيانًا) in the narration of Imam al-Bukhārī conveys an actual and direct vision, free from doubt, speculation and mere imagination, a capacity Allah will grant to the eyes of the believers on the Day of Judgment.

He then presented the narration of Sayyidunā Jarīr ibn ʿAbd Allāh (RA), reported in Sunan Ibn Mājah: while the people of Paradise are immersed in their bliss, a light will shine upon them; they will raise their heads and behold their Lord, who will greet them with the words "Peace be upon you, O people of Paradise." The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) explained that this is the meaning of the Qur'anic verse "Peace!—a word from a Most Merciful Lord." (Qur'an 36:58) So long as they gaze upon Him, they will pay no attention to any other delight of Paradise; and when the veil returns, His light and blessing will remain upon them and their dwellings.

Citing the narration of Sayyidunā ʿAlī (AS), recorded by Imām al-Mundhirī in al-Targhīb wa al-Tarhīb and gathered by ʿAllāmah Ibn al-Qayyim in Rawḍat al-Muḥibbīn, he described how Almighty Allah will send the Trustworthy Spirit to the people of Paradise with the announcement: "O people of Paradise, your Lord sends you His greeting of peace and commands you to visit Him in the open court of Paradise." The people of Paradise will come forth radiant with glad tidings, and there the supreme honour will be bestowed upon them: the vision of His Most Generous Countenance.

In further narrations on the subject recorded by Imam al-Mundhirī and gathered by ʿAllāmah Ibn al-Qayyim, Shaykh-ul-Islam related that upon beholding the Countenance of the Lord of all the worlds, the people of Paradise will be overwhelmed by the majesty of that encounter and exclaim, "Subḥānaka! Mā ʿabadnāka ḥaqqa ʿibādatik." ("Glory be to You! We have not worshipped You as You deserve to be worshipped."). Allah the Almighty will reply, "By My grace, I have granted you the vision of My Countenance and admitted you into My Abode."

Practical Preparation for the Meeting with Allah

Shaykh-ul-Islam stressed that longing for the Divine Vision demands more than wishes and emotions; it requires practical obedience. He outlined a programme of preparation: guarding the obligatory prayers, declaring "I can die, but I cannot miss a ṣalāh," for prayer is the believer's rehearsal for standing before Allah; sincere and daily repentance, for in the eyes of the lovers no sin is minor; lowering the gaze and purifying the eyes; abandoning unlawful deeds, relationships and income; cleansing the heart of jealousy, arrogance and malice; constant remembrance of Allah; and serving the entirety of Allah's creation, in the light of the hadith, "All creation is the family of Allah, and the most beloved to Him is the one most beneficial to His family."
He explained that the true believer lives between hope and fear al-khawf wa al-rajāʾ (الخوف والرجاء): hope inspires love, longing and passion for meeting with Allah, while fear protects the believer from heedlessness, arrogance and persistence in disobedience.

The Door of Prostration

In the concluding portion of the lecture, Shaykh-ul-Islam expounded the secret of sujūd (السجود): the body descends into its lowest physical position while the soul rises to its highest station. Ablution purifies the body, he explained, while prostration purifies the heart, removing pride, heedlessness and distance from Allah. He urged the youth to teach their foreheads to recognise the prayer mat, to fill their youth with prostration before age and weakness overtake the body, and to rise in the darkness of the night, for this world is the abode of deeds and the Hereafter the abode of reward: Paradise is the harvest, and this life the field in which it must be planted.
Recalling the weeping of Yazid al-Raqqashi at the approach of death, who said, "I weep for the night prayers I shall no longer be able to offer," he delivered his parting message to the attendees: "Who will pray for you when the time is gone? Do not be deceived by your youth. Change your life, change your priorities, and live to know Allah, to love Allah, and to please Allah. This is the supreme success."

Shaykh-ul-Islam repeatedly invited the attendees to commit to a life of preparation for the meeting with their Lord, and the session concluded amid expressions of devotion from the participants.
Accompanying His Eminence Shaykh-ul-Islam were Prof 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, Syed Shahzad Ali Faizi, Syed Saad Ali Faizi, Syed Soban Ali Faizi, Dr Ghazala Qadri (President of Minhaj-ul-Quran Women League International), and Baji Khadija Qurat-ul-Ain Qadri, each exemplifying leadership in the pursuit of authentic, scholarly Islam.

The event also saw the presence of distinguished guests Peter Fonseca, MP Ontario, Canada; Shaykh Yasser Ahmed Albaz; Shaykh Waleed Almakee, founder of Noon Academy; Shaykh Nisar Sulaimani; Shaykh Abdulaziz from Dar Foundation, along with other participants from North America.
