He said Allah Almighty has blessed Shaykh-ul-Islam with all those attributes which are sufficient to recognize the spiritual stature and standing of every friend of Allah. He said Shaykh-ul-Islam is a source and paragon of love and peace who has endeavoured his whole life to replace hatred with love. We have a leader for whom we can't find a single example in this earth at the moment. He is perfect in every aspect. All the colours of the Holy saints and Holy ulamaa are gathered in his holy personality. His every deed and his every act, the way he talks, his smile, his forgiveness, his mercy is according to the Sunnah, teachings of The Holy Prophet (saw). The need of today is to be loyal and faithful to our great Leader and to our mission and to spread his message. The message of peace, interfaith, love and harmony the real message of Islam. The Convention came to end with Dua led by Sahibzada Hassan Mohi-ud-Din Qadri.
