The common perception of Islam in the media is one of austerity and
rigidity, and in extreme cases, severe cruelty. The situation is
not helped by the strict and narrow-minded interpretation of the
religion by a number its adherents. However, those who are willing
to scratch below the surface and look further will see that nothing
is further from the truth; that Islam does not teach anything
except universal love, mercy, compassion, peace & benevolence.
Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri is an eminent and internationally
renowned Islamic scholar, orator and author. In this book, he
presents numerous quotations from the Qur'an and authentic hadith
to help the reader discover the prime position of the qualities of
mercy and compassion in the Islamic faith. Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri has
meticulously referenced all quotations to ensure accuracy and
clarity in order to dispel any doubts about the matter. Through his
distinctive solid scholarship and methodology, Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri
demonstrates how Islam promotes spiritual endeavour, moderation,
ease and tolerance, and is not merely concerned with ritualism and
outward forms of piety. For Muslims, this book is essential reading
to help reclaim Islam back from those who portray it as merely a
socio-political enterprise devoid of compassion for humanity and
the rest of creation. Non-Muslims, on the other hand, will be able
to appreciate these lesser known aspects of Islam, which in fact
form its core philosophy.
The world is facing a great dilemma due to despicable, inhumane and
barbaric acts of terrorism, indiscriminate killings, warfare,
anarchy, disorder and suicide bombings over the past two decades.
It is not only destroying the peace of any specific region, group
or country but has become a major threat to world peace. Young
People and Students living in various western countries who do not
have conceptual clarity regarding Islam are wronglyconsidering
terrorism and indiscriminate killing to be Jihad and are being
drawn towards it.A further disturbing issue with regards to this is
that the terrorists declare their evil goals to be part of the
Islamic concept of Jihad. Furthermore they speak of enforcing the
Islamic Shariah according to their extremist and terrorist
ideology. They call for the re-establishment of the Caliphate as
part of their ideology; and they use the Islamic terminologies and
concepts of Fiqh (Islamic Jurisprudence) to legally justify their
claims. By quoting the Qur'an, hadith and texts from the books of
Islamic Law out of context, they influence common Muslims who are
not acquainted with the true teachings of Islam, especially
youngsters.There is a need to provide authentic, comprehensive
material against extremism to all people, from every walk of life,
according to their needs, so that the conceptual and ideological
confusions which may lead to terrorismcan be eliminated. The
Islamic Curriculum on Peace and Counter-Terrorism was prepared for
this purpose. This curriculum has 3 parts and aims to provide

The Holy Quran presents an irrefutable basis and belief system for
the establishment of a stable and harmonious life in this world,
and a triumphant return to Paradise in the Next. There are
misunderstandings about the very source-springs of human well-being
the belief in the spiritual realities of existence, the infinite
love for the Holy Messenger, and the unity regarding the
implementation of the divinely revealed programme for human
society.Young people all over the world, Muslim as well as
non-Muslim, are brought up and educated in an environment permeated
by scientific materialism. It is modern learning which programmes
their minds and causes them to reject anything they find
incompatible with what they have been taught about man and life on
the earth. This book will clarify the misunderstandings and
confusions about Islamic spirituality on scientific
grounds.Scientific orthodoxy refers to magnetic sensitivity in
human beings, electromagnetic energies that permeate our
atmosphere, the flow of positive and negative ions in the
atmosphere affecting human brain activity, the function of the
pineal gland and many other empirical sources of transcendent
experience that are yet to be investigated. This magnetic energy
basis of spiritual experience, which the scientific camp has been
forced into revealing, has proved to be a welcome development of
modern science from the point of view of Islamic spirituality.The
younger generation of modern times will have their belief
reconfirmed by the study of the scientific facts cited in this
book. The scientific reality of Islamic spirituality is
demonstrated beyond any reasonable doubt.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the focus of love and
devotion for one fifth of humanity. Even outsiders cannot deny his
political genius and great statesmanship as the founder of a new
world order and the stimulus for a succession of brilliant and
progressive civilisations. But a study of his life in these terms
overlooks arguably his most essential qualities - his mercy and
benevolence. Internationally renowned Islamic scholar, Dr Muhammad
Tahir-ul-Qadri has produced a work unrivalled in its comprehensive
treatment of the subject matter, illustrating the merciful
character of the Prophet in all its aspects, towards humans and
more generally towards all beings. Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri has reproduced
a solid corpus of references from the Qur'an, along with reliable
Hadith, specially selected for authenticity and relevance. All
sources are meticulously referenced in Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri's
characteristic style. This book shows how in spite of immense
hardships and painful ordeals, the mercy and compassion of the
Prophet remained to the fore, even towards those who opposed and
persecuted him. For Muslims, this book will be a means to celebrate
the magnanimous personality of the Prophet and an incentive to
instil the great qualities of the Prophet in their own lives, while
non-Muslims and academics will discover how these qualities as
described in the Islamic literature have caused the Prophet to
occupy his preeminent position in the religious consciousness of
Muslims.
This book provides vital references to peace, integration and human
rights in Islam and how Muslims living in the West can integrate in
Western society without compromising their faith. The scholar
discusses historical background on Human rights and democracy that
was introduction in Muslim-majority countries with key references
from Islamic classical texts. The author presents examples from the
life of Prophet Muhammad as a model for nurturing peace and harmony
in a diverse world beckoning for a solution. The author explores
the Constitition of Medina as the first constitution in human
history; a mechanisms used by the Prophet to established peace,
democracy, security, knowledge and learning, human rights and
equality, and socio-political prosperity.
This book by renowned scholar and recognised authority on Islam,
Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri, is a discourse on the
legal position of celebrating the Mawlid al-Nabi (birthday of the
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)) within Islam. Most notably, the author has
comprehensively compiled evidences from the authentic source texts
and classical authorities to prove not only the permissibility of
celebrating the Mawlid al-Nabi within the bounds of the Shari'a
(Islamic Law) but also that it is divinely ordained and was a Sunna
(practice) of the Prophet himself. The author presents unique and
compelling arguments showing why celebrating Mawlid al-Nabi is not
only an act of righteousness, but a need of our time. Tackling the
various criticisms of this act head on, he specifically addresses
the issue of why the first generation of Muslims did not celebrate
the Mawlid, and clarifies that labelling the Mawlid as an bid'ah
(innovation) betrays a fundamental and serious flaw in the
understand of the Islamic concept of bid'ah.
This new fatwa from the renowned authority of Islamic world,
Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri, leader of the
overwhelming majority of Muslims deals a devstating blow to
al-Qaeda and its affiliates by removing decisively any remnant of
theological justifications for terrorism. In what is the most
comprehensive edict on this topic in the history of Islam, Dr.
Qadri has explicated how suicide bombings and terrorism is
unequivocally un-Islamic and has condemned terrorism
unconditionally without any "ifs and buts." Dr. Muhammad
Tahir-ul-Qadri is a globally recognised authority on the Islamic
and International law and Islamic scholarship. Drawing on his deep,
erudite insight into the life and teaching of Prophet Muhammad
(peace be upon him) and fourteen centuries of Islamic scholarship,
Dr Qadri's 512-page, detailed fatwa demolishes the theological
arguements advanced by terrorists in prisons, on websites, videos
and their literature which are root causes of today's home grown
terrorists which the west is trying to tackle. For the first time
available in the United States this contains a foreword by the
Washington D.C. based expert on Islam, Prof John Esposito of
Georgetown University and Introduction by Dr. Joel Hayward (Royal
Air Force College, UK) and a validation by Al-Azhar University,
Egypt who have supported this fatwa.
For centuries Mawlid al-Nabi (The blessed birth of Prophet
Muhammad, peace be upon him) has been celebrated across the Muslim
world in a multitude of ways according to local or regional custom.
Many view it as a communal expression of gratitude and joy at the
birth of the blessed Prophet and Messenger of Allah (saw); while
others bring into question its validity, regarding the practice as
an innovation. And yet others negate its importance, with concerns
about over-extravagance and unnecessary expense.
This work by eminent scholar and recognised authority on Islam,
Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri is a study of the
permissibility of celebrating the Mawlid. In his characteristically
methodical approach Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri meticulously examines
references from the Quran, Hadith and opinions of early scholars to
address fundamental questions pertaining to the celebration of the
Mawlid: Is it a sinful deviation? Did the Prophet (saw) or
companions celebrate it? Or is it permissible or even necessary
manifestation of love and respect for the Holy Prophet (saw)? In a
remarkably thorough and comprehensive analysis without precedent,
the author examines the subject through every conceivable angle in
making his case.

The most crucial attribute of a believer and of those seeking the
highest levels of spirituality, is that of having the best
etiquette's and manners which have the effect of being kind,
generous, compassionate, fair, truthful, honest, trustworthy,
reliable, caring, considerate of others and ultimately practically
benefiting, helping and serving humanity at large.The aim of model
Islamic etiquette and manners is to benefit other human beings; by
not subjecting them to any kind of stress, trouble, mischief or
harm. Good morals and etiquette automatically benefit others even
without positively striving to do so. This book is based upon
highlighting this true teaching of Islam that is often forgotten
and one which makes Islam a truly social welfare orientated,
compassionate and caring faith. Moreover it highlights the many
cases by which although a specific practice may not seem to be
benefiting or serving others, but in reality it benefits others
through many dimensions that may not be apparent, such as excelling
in virtuous deeds which on the surface may only benefit the
performer.The main focus of the book is upon consciously and
proactively serving those in need, be they of any colour, creed or
religion. In fact Islam admonishes those who fail to see and
address the needs of the poor, weak, elderly, oppressed, orphans,
widows, refugees, travelers and prisoners. Islam does not
differentiate between Muslims or non-Muslims in this regard but
treats it as it should be; a humanitarian issue which should be
dealt with humanely without any prejudices or hatred surfacing or
dictating the course of assistance, help or aid.All possible means
of serving humanity have been highlighted by citing the example of
the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and that of pious
members of the Muslim community; thereby directing the attention of
modern-day Muslims to this crucial and forgotten asset of Islam.
The topic of love and non-violence in Islam, in an environment
imbued with intolerance, extremism and terrorism, is very
significant. This book portrays how loving humanity and eliminating
violence are key in all the Islamic teachings and are evident in
the conduct of Allah's exalted Messenger.The Holy Quran states that
Almighty Allah has raised the Prophet as an epitome of mercy for
the entire universe. Despite atrocious afflictions caused by the
polytheists of Mecca, the Prophet remained peaceful and always
sought dialogue as a means of resolution.Islam is a religion that
preaches peace, security, love and regard. According to Islamic
teachings, a Muslim is one from whose tongue and hand all people,
whether Muslim or Non-Muslim, are safe. The dignity, inviolability
and protection of human life is basic to Islamic law. Killing a
human unjustly is unlawful and also an act of disbelief in certain
cases. Islam states that the sanctity of life is superior to the
sanctity of the Ka'ba hence shedding blood unjustly has been
condemned in the harshest possible terms.Under Islamic law even in
the state of war non-combatants cannot be killed during battle.The
only enemies who are allowed to be killed are those actively take
part in combat. Other restrictions also include killing animals,
damaging crops, destroying buildings, properties and places of
worship. Such strict rulings are in place even during times of war
therefore it is clear that all acts of terrorism and extremism are
in direct contravention of the teachings of the Quran and
hadith.Islam eliminated hatred through love, terrorism through
peace and ignorance through knowledge. This book portrays how love,
peace and knowledge form the very essence of Islam.
