The Most Effective Means of Preaching Islam Is Good Character: Allama Rana Idrees

Rana Idrees Qadri Addressing Khutba Jummah in Jamia Shaykh ul islam

A meeting of Minhaj-ul-Quran Lahore was held at the Central Secretariat. Deputy Secretary-General Allama Rana Muhammad Idrees made a special appearance, while the session was presided over by Professor Zulfiqar Ali, President of Minhaj-ul-Quran Lahore. The meeting was attended by Lahore Secretary Amjad Hussain Chaudhry along with district officials, PP presidents, organizational heads, and workers.

In his address, Allama Rana Muhammad Idrees Qadri said that making the following of the Holy Qur’an and the life of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ an essential part of one’s life is a sacred mission for every Muslim. Through this commitment, not only does one achieve spiritual growth, but also contributes to making the world a better place by playing a positive role in society. This path brings a person closer to Allah, ensuring success in both this life and the hereafter.

He emphasized that the most effective way to invite people to Islam is through good character and a spirit of goodwill. Workers of Minhaj-ul-Quran should spread the message of love, service, and sincerity among the masses. He noted that Halqāt al-Durood (spiritual gatherings of invoking blessings on the Prophet) are not only spiritual assemblies but also a means of inner purification and intellectual development.

He added that the message of understanding Islam through Duroos Irfan-ul-Quran (Qur’anic teachings) must be made common in every Union Council of Lahore. The public outreach campaign must be advanced with a well-planned strategy so that the mission’s message reaches every individual.

Speaking at the meeting, Professor Zulfiqar Ali said that Minhaj-ul-Quran’s intellectual and organizational journey is now entering a new dimension at the public level. “Every one of our members is a lamp meant to spread light in their circle of influence. We are actively planning to reach every area, every ward, and every Union Council of Lahore. Leaders and workers must fulfill their responsibilities with full commitment—this is the message of Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri.”

Lahore Secretary Amjad Hussain Chaudhry thanked all the officials and declared the success of the meeting as a foundation for better strategic planning in the future.

The session concluded with important decisions taken after detailed discussions on Halqāt al-Durood, Duroos Irfan-ul-Quran, and the ongoing public outreach campaign in Lahore.
