The following speakers also expressed their views at the launching ceremony:

Dr. Abdul Baten Miaji, Advisor, MQI Comilla Division:

The translation of Quran without the knowledge of Ilham (revelation) cannot be authentic at all, we could be lost in translation if we were not connected to our mentor and leader. The depth and the expression of the inner meaning in the translation by our beloved Shaykh does show that his translation is illuminated with the light of Ilham.

Engineer Maqsood Mohammad Nasir, Country Coordinator, MQI Bangladesh:

Our gateway for the connection to Minhaj-ul-Quran International was Irfan-ul-Quran which is not only the translation of the holy Quran but also the Miftah-ul-Madina, our love, ishq and Iman. Our beloved leader is the torch-bearer for the Minhajians to be bloomed like flower in the garden of Minhaj-ul-Quran. Our beloved Shaykh-ul-Islam is the encyclopedia of knowledge and his speeches are the light of faith which enlighten the hearts, promote peace and disseminate the love of the holy Prophet (pbuh).

As the reviver of the era Shaykh-ul-Islam is the leader of the current century Umma in the world of spiritual realm and the same way Irfan-ul-Quran is the guiding source to spring out the inherent meaning of the Quran to the hearts of the true lovers of the holy Prophet (pbuh).

The Holy Quran conveys the revelations in the purest form. Irfan-ul-Quran conveys the real meaning of the Quran fulfilling the requirement of ‘Tafsir’.
