On November 16th 2013, Minhaj-ul-Quran Sisters’ League (France) organized a seminar for youth on the following topic: “The True Values of Islam”. It was organized with the cooperation of Mrs. Sumaira Faisal, the coordinator of MSL Europe. The aim of the program was to raise youth’s awareness of acquiring knowledge of Islam.
Ms. Sumaira threw light on the philosophy of epoch-making event of Karbala and what impact it had on history. She said that the great Imam (RA) knew that if he did not raise the banner of truth, Yazid would deal a huge blow to the Islamic teachings. So he chose to render the supreme sacrifice of his life and that of his kith and kin to save the religion of his revered grandfather from being disfigured.
Shaykh-ul-Islam has said that the plant of consciousness of ‘Hussainiyat’ that grew from the plains of Karbla will continue to provide the entire humanity with a shadow of abiding justice, democracy, peace and integration till the Day of Judgment. He said that Hazrat Imam e Hussain (A.S.) raised a voice against dictatorship and authoritarianism in such a forceful manner that its reverberations continued to be heard even after the lapse of 15 centuries. He said that the consciousness the great Imam created would keep the head of humanity high as a metaphor of truth. He said that neither did Imam Hussain (A.S.) rebel, nor did he launch an armed struggle nor occupied any part of the land.
On 13th and 14th of November 2013, two beautiful evenings were organized & arranged by MQI (Houston, USA) in remembrance of Hazrat Imam-e-Hussain (AS) at Masjid Ghous-e-Azam in Houston. The program was headed by MQI-USA President Razi Niazi Sb and Zafar Iqbal Khan (President, MQI-Houston). Evening started with Quranic recitation by Hafiz Muddasir of the Mosque and then Naat recitation by Mukurrum Niazi in his melodious voice. Also, another program was held on incident of Karbla at Jami'a Makkah Masjid.
Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri, the leader of PAT, has said that there is an agreement among all five schools of thought i.e. Hanafi, Maliki, Shafai, Humbali and Ja`fri that launching an armed struggle against an Islamic state is un-Islamic act. He said that according to all schools of thought, such a thought falls in the category of rebellion and crushing the rebels is in keeping with the Islamic law. He said that Islam clearly forbids the organized armed struggle and use of force against an Islamic state, adding that such an act should be dubbed as revolt.
Dr Hassan Mohi-ud-din Qadri, Chairman of the Supreme Council of MQI, has said that journey of revolution was neither like other commonplace journeys of life, nor it is and nor it will be. He said that this caravan for revolution had its unique dynamics which distinguished it from other normal, everyday life journeys because the destination it was headed to was unique in its own way. He said that the journey of revolution had taken off and it would finally culminate after reaching its destination. He said that the wise are those who tread cautiously and with full preparation, adding that ‘prayer of revolution’ would be led by Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri and youth of MYL would be in the forefronts.
In her speeches, Mrs. Razia Naveed, Secretary General of MWL, threw light on the prevailing state of affairs in Pakistan. She said that the country was up against a number of challenges both at internal and external fronts. She said that the nation was literally passing through the most critical juncture of its history. She said that doubts had been created in the minds of the people and they were less sure of their future. She said that poison of sectarianism and factionalism was being spread purposively which was dangerous for the unity and integrity of the motherland.

Addressing the participants of the Conference, Mrs. Razia Naveed, central Secretary General of MWL, said that MWL was working to promote the teachings of Sayyida Zainab (AS) in the society. She said that we had come to a critical juncture due to vagaries of times with two choices between Hussaini character and Yazidi way of life available to us. She said that it was upon us to choose either of the two paths. She said that the way Sayyida Zainab (AS) rose to occasion and set an example of courage, forbearance, and patience after the epoch of Karbala served as a beacon of light for the Muslim women.
Whilst recognising that the Ummah and the Shariah make Justice, Peace, Unity and Sabr (to patiently strive) obligatory in order to achieve the aspirations of the Muslims, And endorsing the definition of Muslim according to the Amman Declaration (ii) , And understanding that the conflicts in Palestine and Kashmir are fundamental issues facing this Ummah and on which there is unanimity,
Dr Hassan Mohi-ud-Din Qadri, Chairman of MQI’s Supreme Council, has said that gone are the days when the system of Fakhru Bahi stayed intact. He said that as soon as ‘jamat’ of 10 million ‘Namazis’ was ready to offer prayer of revolution, the exploitative politics dominated by a few hundred families would be swept into oblivion. He said that political wisdom and hard work of Muhammad Ali Jinnah made him the Quaid-e-Azam of the Muslim nation.
