No daughter should remain unmarried due to financial constraints — this is Minhaj Welfare Foundation’s mission: Engineer Sanaullah Khan
Under the banner of Minhaj Welfare Foundation, a grand mass wedding ceremony
was held for 12 deserving girls belonging to low-income families. Twelve couples
were united in the blessed bond of nikah (marriage), and each bride was presented
with a complete set of essential household items as a gift to help them begin their
new life with comfort and dignity.
The event, marking the 14th annual collective marriage ceremony, was attended by
hundreds of guests, including business leaders, social activists, Minhaj-ul-Quran
officials, and wedding participants. Deputy Secretary-General of Tehreek Minhaj-ul-Quran
Engineer Muhammad Rafiq Najam and Director Operations of Minhaj Welfare Foundation
Engineer Sanaullah Khan participated as special guests.
Minhaj Welfare Foundation provided each bride with furniture, bedding, kitchen utensils, a washing machine, fan, sewing machine, a copy of the Holy Qur’an, and other household necessities, ensuring that every couple could start their married life with comfort and self-respect.
In his address, Engineer Muhammad Rafiq Najam said that the mission of Minhaj Welfare Foundation is to support deserving and needy communities. Through such initiatives, the Foundation seeks to spread happiness and strengthen the spirit of compassion in society. He emphasized that collective weddings are not merely ceremonial events but rather a practical expression of humanitarian service.
He noted that in today’s materialistic world, where weddings have become a heavy financial burden, Minhaj Welfare Foundation serves as a ray of hope for parents who cannot afford their daughters’ marriage expenses. “Helping underprivileged daughters begin their married life with dignity,” he added, “is one of our foundation’s most important welfare goals.”
Addressing the ceremony, Engineer Sanaullah Khan, Director Operations of Minhaj Welfare Foundation, said that the foundation operates in line with the vision of Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri, implementing numerous social welfare programs across Pakistan. “We consider serving humanity a religious, moral, and national responsibility,” he stated.
He appealed to philanthropists, the business community, and the general public to participate generously in this noble cause, ensuring that no daughter’s wedding is delayed due to financial hardship. He also shared that mass wedding events are organized throughout the year in various cities under the auspices of Minhaj Welfare Foundation.
