Address at the fourth spiritual and training session titled
“The Noble Character of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him)”
The founding leader and patron-in-chief of Minhaj-ul-Quran International, Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri, addressed the fourth spiritual and training session held under the theme “The Noble Character of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him)”, said that the Qur’an and Sunnah provide complete and perfect guidance. He emphasized that the Muslim Ummah must strengthen its connection with these sources of knowledge and wisdom.
He stated that any society that follows the path of materialism and ingratitude loses its stability. The progress and prosperity of the Muslim Ummah, he said, lie in living in accordance with Qur’anic teachings. He added that if we want society to follow the Prophetic model, we must transform our homes into centers of knowledge and raise future generations upon strong religious foundations.
He further said that a balanced Islamic society flourishes through respect for humanity and maintaining ties of compassion. The concept of maintaining familial bonds is not limited to blood relations but extends to treating all human beings with kindness and goodwill, without discrimination.
Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri explained that although the human body and its limbs are created together, the race of material life causes them to become fragmented—where the heart, mind, and limbs begin to move in conflicting directions. The purpose of Prophetic teachings, he said, is to bring harmony among them so that there is no contradiction in a person’s actions, and their center becomes obedience to Allah and His Messenger.
He added that the Prophetic insight grants harmony to the scattered inner self of a human being. All human faculties, inclinations, and desires should ultimately be centered on seeking the pleasure of Allah. When the heart turns toward Allah and the intellect, heart, and self align with this purpose, unity, balance, and moderation emerge within a person.
Concluding his address, Shaykh-ul-Islam said that if one makes love for the Prophet (peace be upon him) and adherence to his blessed life (Seerah) the purpose of life, all difficulties will be resolved.
The session was attended by Chairman of the Supreme Council of Minhaj-ul-Quran International Prof. Dr. Hassan Mohi-ud-Din Qadri, Khurram Nawaz Gandapur, Dr. Rafeeq Najam, Jawad Hamid, Brigadier (R) Umar Hayat, Colonel (R) Khalid Javed, Rana Waheed Shehzad, Dr. Allama Mir Asif Akbar, Dr. Ghazala Hasan Qadri, Fizza Hussain Qadri, Allama Ashfaq Chishti, Sheikh Farhan Aziz, Shehzad Rasool, Iqbal Hussain Bajwa, along with central, provincial, and district leaders of Minhaj-ul-Quran, religious scholars, spiritual leaders, and a large number of men and women participants.
