Speech By: Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri
Description:
Shaykh ul Islam Dr. Muhammad Tahir ul Qadri explained in this video that religion is not merely the name of a single moment, a formal activity, or a seasonal event; rather, its true purpose is to transform it into a complete way of life practiced at all times. He highlighted the reality that most people maintain only a “temporary” relationship with religion, where merely 5 to 10 percent of life is lived according to Shariah, while the remaining 90 percent is governed by personal desires and preferences. Furthermore, he explained that religion does not imprison a person; instead, it provides a beautiful system of discipline and a balanced way of life, just as traffic laws or a school dress code exist for our own safety and well being. The video also especially warns parents that in today’s digital age where social media and uncontrolled freedom have become major sources of temptation protecting the faith of future generations has become a far greater challenge than before. Therefore, parents must now play a double role in safeguarding the faith and moral upbringing of their children. Finally, the important message is delivered that religion should not be limited to speeches, listening sessions, or occasional ceremonies; rather, it should become part of one’s “culture and character” so that it is reflected in one’s morals, speech, and daily conduct.
