His Eminence Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri, Prof. Dr. Hassan Mohiuddin Qadri, Chairman Supreme Council, MQI, and Dr. Ghazala Qadri visited Central Jamaat-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat Oslo today to offer the Friday prayer. The prayer was led by Shaykh Syed Nehmat Ali Shah, Imam of Central Jamaat-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat.

Following the Friday prayer, Shaykh-ul-Islam delivered nasiha (words of wisdom) to the gathering.

His Eminence Shaykh-ul-Islam emphasized how faith can become a natural part of a child’s inner being when the proper environment is created to nurture this development from within. The Qur’an describes religion as part of human nature; however, Shaykh-ul-Islam explained that this innate nature must be activated through conscious choices.

Shaykh ul Islam highlighted that parents carry a special responsibility to create an environment in which faith can grow. Faith does not develop in isolation—it must be awakened. Just as a child naturally learns to cry, faith too is innate within human beings.

Without the right environment, a person may lose their identity—like a lion raised among goats. Therefore, children must be nurtured through positive surroundings from an early stage, even before birth.

His Eminence further stated that the character of parents plays a decisive role, as children are influenced by what they see and hear. Respect, calmness, and positive attitudes are therefore essential in shaping a child’s personality.

In his concluding message to the public, Shaykh-ul-Islam advised focusing on the good in others and striving to improve oneself, as this strengthens both a child’s character and faith.

We extend our gratitude to Zahid Aslam, Chairman of Central Jamaat-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat, Shaykh Syed Nehmat Ali Shah, Imam of Central Jam-e Masjid Ahl-e-Sunnat, and Mufti Zubair Tabassum for their hospitality and warm reception.

Representatives from MQI Norway were also present, including Imam and Director MQI Norway Allama Muhammad Iqbal Fani, Afzal Ansari (Ameer-e-Tehreek), Awais Ejaz Ahmed (President MQI), Hassan Bashir (General Secretary MQI), Pervaiz Nisar (Head, House of Representatives MQI), Arfan Ansari (President MQI Oslo) and Asif Javed (President Minhaj Cultural Center Kløfta).
