Leaders of six religions to take part in Peace for Humanity Conference
I extend my heartiest greetings to the people of Pakistan and the expatriate community living abroad on the blessed occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr. This day marks the conclusion of the holy month of Ramadan and is Allah’s conferment of blessing and happiness on the Muslims. We are to celebrate this day, bowing our heads before Allah Almighty to express our profound gratitude to our Lord for His countless blessings.
The Itikaf City 2011 held under the aegis of Minhaj-ul-Quran International concluded on August 30, 2011 after the moon of Eid was sighted after evening prayers. The thousands of ‘Mutakifeen’ congratulated one another after the Eid was declared on Wednesday, August 31. Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri also felicitated the Mutakifeen on the occasion. He led a tearful Dau through video conferencing from London. The participants took part in the concluding Dua with tearful eyes and sobbing in Jamia al-Minhaj, Township, Lahore.
Shaykh-ul-Islam said that excellence of manners encompasses the entire concept of spiritualism. Excellence of manners is all about interaction and relationship. Everyone has a relationship of sorts with other people. A man’s relationship with his Lord is that of servitude between a subject and the Master. We are related to the Holy Prophet (SAW) because we are his followers. Our relationship with the Companions is that of followers and we also have our relationship with the saints and the Friends of Allah.

Corruption and loot has become our culture: Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri
Shaykh-ul-Islam said that our hearts have become devoid of fear of Allah and the culture of loot and plunder has become rampant. He said that people become miserly while spending for the sake of people’s welfare and open up coffers of their wealth for the satisfaction of their base worldly desires. Violating the self-respect of the underprivileged and downtrodden sections of society has become a norm in society today and facade of helping the poor is often resorted in order to achieve social prominence.
Speaking on “Excellence of morality”, Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri said that spiritualism is a combination of sincerity of intention, productive knowledge, pious deed and excellence of morality. He said that intentions lead to actions, actions lead to correct knowledge and if knowledge has been acquired for the sake of Allah, it becomes productive knowledge.Only knowledge guarantor of nations’ bright future: Shaykh-ul-Islam

Only knowledge guarantor of nations’ bright future: Shaykh-ul-Islam
Shaykh-ul-Islam said that the last ten days of the holy month of Ramadan are coming to an end. The nation needs to bow their head before Allah Almighty and seek His forgiveness. It must beseech Allah to confer on it the willingness and capacity to reform its conduct so that the people could get rid of feeling of insecurity, fear, lawlessness, killing, and shortage of energy and water. He said that in a society in which narrow-mindedness becomes rampant, it is the sign of Allah’s displeasure.MQI’s International Spiritual Gathering to be held on Saturday

Shaykh-ul-Islam to address Juma-tul-Wida today
Shaykh-ul-Islam said that journey towards seeking gnosis of Allah represents a continued migration, which has various stations. This migration is very well graded from will to repentance, to cleanliness, to obedience, then to perseverance, to labour, to gnosis, to love and lastly to nearness ending up in meeting with the Lord. According to the Hadith, the Holy Prophet (SAW) would recite ‘Istighfar’ 70 times, and 100 times according to some traditions, daily.
Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri said that productive knowledge protects the holder of spiritual station and there is no concept of superiority without possession of productive knowledge in future. Therefore, one must endeavour to attend the company of the scholars and the friends of Allah in order to safeguard faith as well as continue the process of spiritual growth.Large scale ‘sehri and iftari’ arrangements made for 15 thousand mo'takefeen

On August 22, 2011, the first day of Itikaf, Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri delivered his special keynote address to the thousands of participants after Fajr prayers who are attending Itikaf, an occasion for purification of heart, understanding of religion, penitence, and personal reform. Speaking on the subject of “Reality of Mysticism and Ways of Gnosis”, he said that mysticism and spiritual excellence is not about performance of rituals, nor is it confined to any particular methodology.
Thousands of people attend Itikaf organized under the aegis of Minhaj-ul-Quran International annually for purgation and purification of heart, understanding of religion, penitence, and personal reform. All is set for Itikaf City 2011 this year too as hundreds of Caravans of the faithful start for Township Lahore from different parts of the country to take part in the Itikaf.

وَعَهِدْنَا إِلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ أَن طَهِّرَا بَيْتِيَ لِلطَّائِفِينَ وَالْعَاكِفِينَ وَالرُّكَّعِ السُّجُودِ
(al-Baqara,2:125)
And We laid emphasis on Ibrahim and Ismail: Purify My House for those who walk around it, and those who use it as a retreat, and those who bow down and prostrate themselves (in prayer).
