A blessed and spiritually uplifting gathering was held at the center of Minhaj-ul-Quran International Denmark on the occasion of Laylat al-Qadr, following the Tarawih prayers.
This year marked a proud and joyful moment for Minhaj-ul-Quran Denmark, as ten Huffaz (memorizers of the Holy Qur’an) participated in leading the 20 rak‘ahs of Tarawih prayers throughout the blessed month of Ramadan. An exceptional addition this year was the completion of Tarawih prayers at the Shaykh-ul-Islam Spiritual Center, located at the same venue.
Under the supervision of Hafiz Sajjad Ahmed, President of MQI Nordvest the proceedings began with the Khatm al-Qur’an ceremony, formally inaugurated with a beautiful recitation of the Holy Qur’an by Qari Muhammad Nadeem Akhtar.
During the spiritual gathering, Hafiz Farhad, Rashid Bhatti, Kashif Khan, and Muhammad Asif presented melodious na‘at (poetry in praise of the Holy Prophet ﷺ), which spiritually uplifted and refreshed the faith of the attendees. Allama Faiz Rasool, Vice President of MQI North West, also presented devotional poetry in his unique and heartfelt style in honor of the Holy Prophet ﷺ.
Following this, all the Huffaz were honored with flowers and gifts in recognition of their dedication to the Qur’an. Additionally, the children who regularly attended the Tarawih prayers during Ramadan were presented with chocolates and gifts, serving as a wonderful motivational gesture to encourage community engagement and inspire the younger generation.
On this occasion, Qaisar Zubair Najeeb, President of Minhaj-ul-Quran International Denmark, addressed the gathering and highlighted the importance of remaining connected with the mission of Minhaj-ul-Quran. He emphasized that it is essential to actively engage and connect our younger generation with this mission, as it serves as a source of guidance and goodness for the future, helping them remain steadfast in their faith.
Sibghat Riaz, President of Minhaj Welfare Foundation Denmark, also presented a detailed overview of the various projects of Minhaj Welfare Foundation and informed the participants about the organization’s humanitarian and social welfare activities.
Later, Allama Nasir Qayyum Khan Hazari (a graduate of Minhaj University Lahore) delivered an inspiring speech on the topic of repentance (Tawbah). He reminded the audience that Allah Almighty is Most Merciful and Most Forgiving, and that whoever sincerely seeks forgiveness for their sins will surely be granted pardon by Allah.
Following the speech, a gathering of Dhikr (remembrance of Allah) was held, during which special prayers were offered for the peace, unity, and well-being of entire mankind. A short break followed, during which tea and refreshments were served. Afterward, the participants collectively performed Salat al-Tasbih.
Concluding, Allama Dr. Hafiz Muhammad Idrees Al-Azhari made a heartfelt concluding supplication (du‘a), bringing this blessed and spiritually enriching gathering to a close.
