Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri’s message on the birth anniversary of Quaid-e-Azam

• December 25, 2011

The 25th of December is the birthday of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founding father of Pakistan and a great statesman of his times. I congratulate the entire Pakistani nation and the members of the Pakistani community living abroad on this festive occasion. The establishment of Pakistan owes its existence to the dedicated and untiring struggle of the Quaid-e-Azam he waged for the Muslims of the sub-continent. Pitted against the combined opposition of the ruling British and the Indian National Congress, the great Quaid risked his personal comfort nay his health in his struggle to attain Pakistan on the basis of universal right to self-determination. read more...

Calm voice in sea of extremism

• August 10, 2011

IT takes a supremely brave individual to look into the eyes of Muslim extremists and tell them they are un-Islamic and unbelievers. Dr Qadri is one man who can reach across that most difficult of divides - the one that exists between the Muslims and modern Western society. He is a slight, immaculately-groomed individual and at first he spoke softly so the audience was straining to hear his words as he explained that true Islam does not accept brutality, extremism, militancy, killing and massacre. There were murmurs of approval as he described Australia as "the best society, the best community on this planet, practising multifaith, multiculturalism and diversity in its true sense and reality". read more...
