President of Minhaj-ul-Quran International, Professor Dr. Hussain Mohi-ud-Din Qadri, stated that without correct belief, actions hold no real value, and religion is not merely about rituals and formal worship. The Quran remains a source of guidance and enlightenment until the Day of Judgment. True faith lies in wholeheartedly accepting the commands of Allah and His Messenger (PBUH) and acting upon them with sincerity.

Dr Hussain Mohi-ud-Din Qadri expressed these views while addressing the concluding ceremony of the seven-day Dars-e-Irfan-ul-Quran, organized by Minhaj-ul-Quran Shakargarh. The closing ceremony was attended by local scholars, journalists, and thousands of people from various walks of life.

Professor Dr. Hussain Mohi-ud-Din Qadri emphasized that spending wealth for the sake of Allah—helping relatives, orphans, the needy, and the underprivileged—fulfilling their legitimate needs is the true obedience to Allah and His Messenger (PBUH). He said that Islamic teachings promote humility and simplicity, and by following these values, both our worldly life and hereafter will be prosperous.

He highlighted that the Quran commands kindness to parents, speaking the truth, practicing patience, gratitude, and contentment, and refraining from harming others. It forbids betrayal of trust and encourages forgiveness and maintaining good relations. If these divine teachings are implemented, the world will become a paradise.

Dr. Hussain Mohi-ud-Din Qadri stressed that religious scholars, preachers, teachers, and journalists have a duty to utilize their abilities, time, and resources to spread goodness and virtue.
"Minhaj-ul-Quran is playing a reformative and welfare role in society in the light of these teachings. Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri continues to guide the Muslim Ummah through his thousands of books, lectures, and training institutions," he explained.

He congratulated the organizers of Dars-e-Irfan-ul-Quran, including President of Minhaj-ul-Quran Shakargarh, Muhammad Faisal Rafiq Qadri, Sufi Muhammad Deen Khaliqi, Chaudhry Rasheed Hussain Advocate, Mirza Muhammad Islam, Muhammad Boota, Mian Razaq Qadri, Hafiz Muhammad Afzal, Shiraz Khan Mustafavi, Sheikh Hassan Zahoor, Professor Dr. Hafiz Muhammad Shafiq, Sheikh Muhammad Asif, Muhammad Asim Inqilabi, Baji Samina Hayat, and Naziya Baji, along with their entire team, for their exemplary arrangements.

The event was attended by former Member of the Provincial Assembly Maulana Ghiyas-ud-Din, Sahibzada Intizar Hussain, Syed Mujahid Farhan-ul-Hassan Shah, Muhammad Qasim Khan, Chaudhry Inam-ul-Haq, Chaudhry Rasheed Hussain Advocate, Qari Riyasat Chadhar, Tayyab Zia, Sheikh Farhan Aziz, and Altaf-ur-Rehman Chauhan.
