The terror bombings during the Boston Marathon on April 15 has shocked the world once again which killed 3 innocent people and left 170 injured. The brutal killing and injuring innocent people should be condemned in strongest terms. Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri, the founder of Minhaj-ul-Quran International and Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT), strongly condemns the acts of violence and terrorist attacks.

He said “Killing innocent people during an annual mass participation marathon is not just cowardly but also inhumane and a worst form of criminality. We strongly condemn such an act of terrorism.”

Minhaj-ul-Quran USA (MQI) condemns the bomb attacks on the Boston Marathon to the highest extent. All the members of MQI denounce the heinous attacks which took lives of people and left many injured. We join our fellow Americans in prayers for the victims and their families. We hope and pray that law enforcement officials could be able to quickly locate those who are responsible for these attacks and bring them to justice.

A fundamental aim of Milad-un-Nabi is to attain love and proximity towards the Holy Prophet (blessings and peace be upon him) and to revive the believer’s relationship with his most revered personage—this per se revives the very goal of the Shariah. Acknowledging his virtues and perfection increases one’s faith in Allah and belief in prophethood. Revering the Holy Prophet (blessings and peace be upon him) is the first fundamental requirement of Iman (faith). 

With this goal and vision, by the grace of Almighty Allah and the blessings of the Holy Prophet (blessings and peace be upon him), Minhaj-ul-Quran USA, Dallas Chapter, hosted a Milad-un-Nabi program in the month of Rabi-ul-Awal to commemorate the blessed birth of the Holy Prophet (blessings and peace be upon him).

Ever since the arrival of Dr Qadri in Pakistan and his demands to implement changes in the Pakistani political system, the Pakistani political scene is buzzing. Dr Qadri is demanding the political system should be made more accountable to the public and for the coming interim government to bar candidates who don’t fulfil the criteria listed in the Constitution of Pakistan, and the conditions set out in the rules of the election commission of Pakistan, ensuring free and fair general elections, instead of a continuation of the status quo.

The demands of the Dr Qadri would not ruffle the feathers of any citizen of a civilized western country.

Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri has said that the grief for Hazrat Imam e Hussain (RA) and his companions is a part of the Muslims’ faith and it is not fair to associate it with any particular sect. He said that Hazrat Imam e Hussain is a metaphor of love, peace, tolerance and human brotherhood, whereas Yazid is a symbol of terrorism, exploitation, oppression and evil.

In his message on the occasion of ‘Youm-e-Ashura’, he said that the great Imam taught the humanity not to compromise with the oppression and tyranny. He said that from the epoch of Karbla issued forth two mindsets and ideologies, namely ‘Hussainiyat and Yazidiyat’ and the advocates of the Yazidi thought would continue to be defeated till the Day of Judgment.
