Human history is replete with the account of great personalities who founded revolutionary movements. They are countless in number. This is also observed that these movements always emerged in communities who were passing through the days of fall and decline. The objective of a positive and constructive revolution has always been to pull the nation out of its deteriorated plight and put them on the path to development, progress, peace and prosperity. Also irrefutable is the truth that eternal sovereignty belongs to Almighty Allah alone.
Every community and nation in the world undergoes its rise and fall. The human society was crippled with oppression, injustice, lawlessness, barbarism and darkness of ignorance when the last Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him ad give him peace) was raised. His holy Prophethood laden with pragmatic wisdom and divine meditation and strategies and the ceaseless struggle of his companions added such an illumining chapter to the history of mankind which will serve as guidance, enlightenment and light house for humanity till the end of time. Islam is a journey to the ultimate rise of mankind. The Holy Messenger of Allah started this journey and his rightly guided companions followed by successors and followers and all the succeeding clerics, scholars, thinkers, mystics, preachers, jurists, traditionists, renewers, rulers and combatants advanced it to unknown heights in their times and in their respective fields. So, Islam led mankind from dark ages to the modern times of scientific progress.
Islam negates this destructive behaviour. A clash of civilizations can neither do any good to Islam nor to mankind. When he took this step eight years ago it was applauded the world over. It is MQI alone that has promoted this activity in Pakistan as well as abroad. The trend has now been set and interfaith harmony has flourished. This year many political parties and religious organizations celebrated Christmas with the Christian brethren of which the photographs appeared in the Press. It was against this backdrop that the Christian Organizations in Pakistan first gave him the title of Christ of Earth the National Commission for Inter Religions Dialogue and Ecumenism (NCIDE) conferred on him ‘Peace Award 2006.’ Likewise the British Foreign Office and the European Union jointly organized a Muslim of Europe Conference in Istanbul to discuss and sort out the problems and challenges the Muslim community is facing in the European countries. This was an international forum where more than sixty scholars and professors of the renowned universities of Europe and America were invited to address the conference. Out of all the prominent speakers of world fame it was Shaykh ul Islam, Dr Muhammad Tahir ul Qadri who was invited as the Key Note Speaker on the occasion.
His valuable endeavours to promote love and peace at global level and his most sincere and devoted hard work to keep the workers of his revolutionary movement as a peace-loving, tolerant, moderate and humanitarian force has brought dividends to the MQI. The Minhaj ul Quran International is the only organization that exists in more than 100 countries of the world. It has its Islamic Centres in fifty countries of the world. It has its members, loyalists and lovers in millions. It is recognized as an organization that promotes peace and love, peaceful co-existence, forbearance and tolerance and moderation. It has not fallen victim to any conflict and extremism. And it has not compromised either on its principles of Renaissance and Establishment of Islam, Sufism and Spiritualism and worldwide promotion of ardent love, veneration and submissiveness to the Last Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace). The world is very soon going to recognize Islam as a Din of Love and Peace. So there is no exaggeration in saying that Shaykh ul Islam, Dr Muhammad Tahir ul Qadri is an International Ambassador of Peace. Long live Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri
