A new book of Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri was held under the banner of MQI Karachi. Religious scholars belonging to the various walks of life attended the ceremony and expressed their happiness at the new intellectual contribution by Shaykh-ul-Islam.

They said that Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri has paid scholarly debt owed to Muslim Ummah by authoring the book in defence of the grace and status of the Prophet’s household and closed all the doors of mischief, discord and strife. They said that Shaykh-ul-Islam has lighted the lamps of knowledge and enlightenment by offering intellectual guidance for every contentious issue.

The launching ceremony took place in Arts Council Karachi. Khurram Nawaz Gandapur, Qazi Zahid Hussain, Allama Mufti Jamil Azhar Mithra, Mufti Shah Hussain Gerdezi, Syed Usman Shah Ferozi, former provincial minister Rauf Siddiqui, Zafar Abbas Jafari, Pir Syed Arshad Ali Shah, Shamul Mustafa Asadi, Sabir Abu Maryam, Allama Mahmood ul Hussaini, Allama Muhammad Rafique Naqashbandi, Pir Irfan Chishti, Pir Syed Haider Hussain Shah, Wali Mustafai, Mufti Irshad Hussain Saeedi, Pir Amanullah Jan Sirhandi, and Allama Naeem Ansari addressed the ceremony.

In his keynote address, Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri congratulated the religious scholars belonging to different walks of life on getting together on a single point which is a common matter of respect and faith for all. He said that the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (RA) was not just the killing of one person but an act that was aimed to hurt the Holy Prophet (PBUH). Allah Almighty says in the Holy Quran that whosoever hurt His Prophet (PBUH), there is great torment in store for such a person. He said that love for the family of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) is not a matter of devotion but one of stability and safety of ‘Iman’ and treading the right path.
