Prof. Muhammad Thair-Ul-Qadri Every entity needs a spirit which actually forms its being . Minhaj-ul Quran is most fortunate that it has a pure humanitarian personality as its spirit. His eminence Professor Muhammed Tahir ul-Qadri is the founder leader and the spirit of Minhaj-ul Quran. Professor Qadri is a disticntive scholar of an international repute. He has delivered lectures on almost all major contemporary issues in varios national and international conferences, seminars, gatherings and specially organised programs by universities and colleges in all the continents of the World. His 4000 lectures are available in both audio and visual medium. About 250 of his publications are available all over the world, while hundreds of others are in various phases of compilation and printing, on topics ranging from ' 'Seerah' and ''Tafseer', the latest acientific and technical subjects including creation of man; an embriological and chemical evolutionary process, and the creation and expansion of the universe. His father ( Doctor Farid-ud-din Qadri) was a widely travelled scholar, travelling to Syria, Jordan, Baghdad and Madina. He was also fluent in Urdu, Persian and Arabic Literature. He was specially inclined towards mysticism and spiritualism, having recieved orientation through Naqib-ul-Ashraf Ibrahim Sayf-ud-din Gilani at Baghdad. Above all his heart and mind carried away a deep impress of the political and religious decline and decripitude that had fallen into the Muslim Ummah. It was his keen ambition to see the tree of islam sprout and blossom in its full vernal and chromatic splendour; and it was the mission of his life to inspire the means for a resurgence of islam. When Dr. Farid-ud-din Qadri visited Saudi Arabia in 1948 and paid homage at Ka'ba for the first time, he prayed to God the followinh; "O Lord! Bless me with a child who will serve you and your faith, who will earn your infinite approcval and blessing both in this world and the next, and who charged with the love and benevolence of the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) will bring about an intellectual, moral and spiritual revolutionto dig up the foundations of a new era." His prayer was heard and granted. On February 19, 1951 Professor Muhammed Tahir ul-Qadri was born. The Prophet (Peace Be upon Him ) himself conveyed to him the news of the birth of Tahirs birth. The prophet (Peace be upon him) had himslef suggested the name of the child. EDUCATION CAREER Muhammed Tahir started his educational career at Sacred Heart School, Jhang.

ATTENDANCE AT THE PROPHET'S (Peace Be Upon Him) MAUSOLEUM 1963: At the age 13 when studying in the eigth class he accompanied his parents to perform Hajj and visit Medina. It was not a matter of routine but was in persuance of the prophetic command his father had recieved in a dream, stating " Bring Tahir over to me" To confirm the fulfillment of the purpose of the visit and the realisation of the objectives the visit entailed; "Muhammed Tahir was given a vat full of milk which he was commanded to distribute amongst teh people" This symbolised the fact that the Prophet (Peace be upon him) was pleased with the young man and had expressed his readiness to confer blessings on him.
