His Eminence Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri eloquently gave a lecture centered around the theme of "Spiritual Company and Journey towards Allah Subhanahu wa Ta-Aala" at al-Hidayah 2023.

Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri was accompanied by the President of Minhaj-ul-Quran Women League International Dr. Ghazala Qadri, Shaykh Hammad Mustafa al-Madani al-Qadri, Shaykh Ahmad Mustafa al-Arabi al-Qadri, Basima Hassan Qadri, Dr. Faisal Khan and Dr. Hamza Ansari.

During the inaugural day of Al Hidayah 2023, His Eminence Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri set the foundations of making the journey, getting oneself into a pre-requisite state to make the journey. Shaykh-ul-Islam gave the example of having a clean body and then wearing a dirty garment, similarly if the body is not clean the mind and heart cannot be cleansed. Without this complete cleanliness one cannot benefit from the love of Almighty Allah.

His Eminence underlined that a liar can't become a friend of Almighty Allah. Neither an oppressor nor a person who is arrogant and deceitful can seek His nearness and proximity. When you get rid of evil attributes then you add noble attributes like purity, truthfulness, generosity, sincerity, humility, mercy and forgiveness in your life. These attributes beautify your life through better conduct and character.

Highlighting the significance, he revealed that No act of worship will enlighten your heart and mind & will bring you closer to the presence of Almighty Allah if the evil attributes still exist in your life, thoughts, habits and behavior.

In tomorrow’s keynote Shaykh-ul-Islam will teach the steps to take to go on the journey towards the Almighty.
