A ceremony in the honor of the graduate Huffaz students held under MIQT

A ceremony was held in the honor of the graduate Huffaz students under the banner of Minhaj Institute of Qira’at & Tehfeez-ul-Quran and Aghosh Complex. Addressing the ceremony, president MQI Dr Hussain Mohi-ud-Din Qadri said that the teachers who torture students are causing estrangement of the new generation from both knowledge and religion. He stated categorically that the use of torture in religious seminaries is unacceptable, stating that the manner in which the students pursuing medical and engineering professions are imparted education, the students of religious seminaries should also be treated in the same manner and given education as per the same standard.

Dr Hussain Mohi-ud-Din Qadri said that preserving the Holy Quran in one's heart is a matter of immense blessing. He said that constant recitation is also required for the best Qaris. He said that MQI's educational institute, Tehfeez-ul-Quran, has produced four thousand Huffaz who are rendering services in the civil services, medicine, engineering, business, forces, and other departments at the moment. He welcomed the former students of Tehfeez-ul-Quran and Minhaj Model High School on their arrival in their alma mater. He advised them to stay in constant touch with their alma mater and provide their patronage to the students who want to get religious education.
