Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

Dr. Muhammad Tahir ul-Qadri was born on February 19, 1951. He is the son of Farid-ud-Din Qadri. He is a Pakistani Sufi scholar and former professor of International Constitutional Law at the University of the Punjab. He is the founder of Minhaj-ul-Quran International, a broad-based global Sufi organization working in the fields of welfare, human rights and education. Its objectives are the promotion of a moderate and non-extremist vision of Islam, the establishment of good relations and understanding between communities and religions, and the education of youth through “employing the methods of Sufism”. In 1948, Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H.) gave Busharat to his father about the birth of Tahir. His father said “I demanded Tahir from Almighty ALLAH so that he will work for the welfare of Islamic World.”
