The inspiring messages shared by young adults and teenagers reflect how Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri’s personality, vision, and character continue to shape hearts and minds across generations. These voices from students, emerging professionals, and youth under thirty, highlight the attributes that resonate most deeply with them: intellectual depth, spiritual clarity, moral leadership, and an unwavering commitment to nurturing balanced, purpose-driven lives. Their reflections stand as living testimony to how Shaykh-ul-Islam’s guidance translates timeless Islamic values into practical inspiration for today’s youth.
Allama Iqbal envisioned youth as the true architects of a nation’s destiny, awakened in thought, firm in character, and elevated in purpose. In Shaykh-ul-Islam’s mission, this vision finds a living expression: a generation intellectually awakened, spiritually rooted, and socially responsible. As Iqbal beautifully states:
نہیں ہے ناامید اقبال اپنی کشتِ ویراں سے
ذرا نم ہو تو یہ مٹی بڑی زرخیز ہے ساقی
These messages reflect that very promise - hearts nurtured with faith, minds empowered with knowledge, and youth rising with confidence, clarity, and conviction.

• Shaykh ul Islam has inspired within me the true meaning of life. There is no single aspect that I can point to in order to specify how he has inspired me, for he is my Shaykh and Murabbi. His love for knowledge and his never-ending quest for it, his unwavering commitment to the promotion of Deen, and the depth of his dedication to this service are truly unbelievable. These qualities are easy to observe, yet behind them lies a continuous struggle, moment by moment, through which he has acquired and attained what he embodies today. His entire life is an inspiration. Alhamdulillāh
• In a time when the youth are searching for direction, identity, and purpose, Shaykh-ul-Islams balanced personality and balanced approach to life offers a clear path. His consistency, discipline, and relentless pursuit of knowledge. If the youngsters of today seek a role model who embodies Deen with balance, depth, and mercy, they need only look at His lifelong services, His discipline and His work.

• Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri has inspired me most through his deep and unwavering love for Allah Almighty, which he beautifully explains through the wisdom of Masnavi of Maulana Rumi. Through his teachings, he has helped me understand how a servant’s relationship with Allah should be rooted in sincerity, spiritual longing, and divine love. He highlights the true demand of love between the soul and its Creator, reminding us that the love of this world is temporary and perishable, whereas the love of Allah is eternal and everlasting. This perspective has profoundly shaped my understanding of spirituality and purpose in life.
• One quality of Shaykh-ul-Islam that the youth should adopt: One of the most important qualities that the youth should adopt from Shaykh-ul-Islam is his strong focus on self-purification and nurturing a deep spiritual connection with Allah Almighty. His life teaches us how to walk a balanced path between Deen and Dunya—how to grow intellectually, serve humanity globally, and promote peace, harmony, faith, and spirituality, without ever weakening one’s relationship with Allah. Despite his vast contributions at international, intellectual, and spiritual levels, he has never compromised on his bond with Allah, always keeping it as his highest priority. This balance is a powerful lesson for today’s youth.
• May Allah Almighty grant Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri a long life filled with health, نور and برکت. Through his words, we gain knowledge, and through his life, we find inspiration. May Allah continue to make him a source of wisdom, guidance, and benefit for humanity. Ameen.

• As an educator and Head of Seekers Club, I am most inspired by Shaykh ul Islam Dr. Tahir-ulQadri’s systematic integration of deep scholarship with practical reform. He does not merely teach, he empowers. His approach grounding contemporary challenges in authentic Islamic principles while promoting rational discourse, gender justice, and social ethics, it offers a replicable model for leadership. He has shown me how conviction, when coupled with compassion and clarity, can mobilize minds and hearts toward meaningful, institutional change.
• The quality I consistently emphasize to my students and team is Principled Adaptability. Shaykh ul Islam exemplifies how one can hold firmly to core values while engaging thoughtfully with a changing world. For today’s youth and indeed, for any emerging leader, this means staying rooted in ethics and knowledge, yet remaining agile enough to innovate, include, and inspire across diverse settings. It is the balance between integrity and relevance.
• On this cherished occasion, I honor not only the milestone of your birth but the legacy of enlightenment you tirelessly build. May Allah (S.W.T) grant you enduring health and vigor as you continue to guide, teach, and transform (Amen).

• ڈاکٹر محمد طاہرالقادری نے مجھے سب سے زیادہ اپنی ہمہ جہت شخصیت، علم دوستی اور نوجوانوں کی فکری و اخلاقی تربیت کے وژن سے متاثر کیا ہے۔ انہوں نے دین کو محض عبادات تک محدود نہیں رکھا بلکہ اسے زندگی کے ہر شعبے—تعلیم، سیاست، معاشرت اور اخلاق سے جوڑ کر پیش کیا۔ ان کی گفتگو میں دلیل، برداشت اور اصلاح کا پہلو نمایاں ہوتا ہے جو ایک نوجوان کو شدت پسندی کے بجائے اعتدال، شعور اور مثبت عمل کی طرف لے جاتا ہے۔
مزید یہ کہ شیخ الاسلام نے جدید تقاضوں کے مطابق نوجوانوں کو تعلیم، تحقیق اور کردار سازی کی طرف متوجہ کیا۔ ان کی علمی خدمات، بین المذاہب ہم آہنگی اور امن کے پیغامات آج کے نوجوان کے لیے فکری رہنمائی کا مضبوط ذریعہ ہیں۔
• شیخ الاسلام ڈاکٹر محمد طاہرالقادری کی سب سے نمایاں خوبی علم کے ساتھ عمل اور برداشت کے ساتھ استقامت ہے، جسے نوجوانوں کو ضرور اپنانا چاہیے۔ مجھے ان کی یہ خوبی بہت متاثر کرتی ہے کہ وہ اختلاف کے باوجود مکالمے پر یقین رکھتے ہیں اور دلیل، تحقیق اور اخلاق کو ہمیشہ فوقیت دیتے ہیں۔ یہ خوبی نوجوانوں کو جذباتی ردِعمل کے بجائے فکری پختگی عطا کرتی ہے۔
ان کی زندگی ہمیں یہ سکھاتی ہے کہ مستقل مزاجی، دیانت اور مقصد سے وابستگی ہی حقیقی کامیابی کی بنیاد ہے۔ اگر نوجوان اس وصف کو اپنا لیں تو وہ نہ صرف اپنی ذات بلکہ معاشرے کے لیے بھی مثبت تبدیلی کا ذریعہ بن سکتے ہیں۔
• شیخ الاسلام ڈاکٹر محمد طاہرالقادری کو یومِ پیدائش کے موقع پر دل کی گہرائیوں سے مبارکباد پیش کرتا ہوں۔ آپ کی پوری زندگی علم، تحقیق، اصلاحِ معاشرہ اور نوجوان نسل کی فکری رہنمائی کے لیے وقف رہی ہے۔ آپ نے اپنے عمل اور فکر سے یہ ثابت کیا کہ علم جب اخلاص کے ساتھ جُڑ جائے تو وہ قوموں کی تقدیر بدل دیتا ہے۔
دعا ہے کہ اللہ ربّ العزت آپ کو صحت، عافیت اور مزید توفیق عطا فرمائے تاکہ آپ کی علمی و فکری خدمات کا یہ سلسلہ آئندہ نسلوں کے لیے بھی مشعلِ راہ بنا رہے۔ اللہ آپ کے علم کو صدقۂ جاریہ بنائے اور ہمیں اس سے رہنمائی حاصل کرنے کی توفیق دے۔ آمین۔

ڈاکٹر طاہر القادری کی مظلوموں اور نوجوانوں کے لیے آپ کی خدمات اور بغیر ہمت ہارے مسلسل کاوش نے مجھے ہمیشہ سے بہت متاثر کیا ہے ۔
انسان حیران رہ جاتا ہے یہ دیکھ کر کہ پوری دنیامیں مقیم نوجوانوں کی تربیت کے لیے آپ بے حد محنت کررہے ہیں، مجھے الہدایہ 2025ء کے آپ کے لیکچرز سننے کا اتفاق ہوا، روح کو جھنجھوڑ دینے والے لیکچرز تھے۔ اور آئندہ کے لیے بھی ہمیشہ الہدایہ کے لیکچرز سے جڑے رہنے کا عزم باندھا ہے۔ دعا گو ہوں کہ اللہ پاک صحت و سلامتی والی لمبی زندگی عطا فرمائے۔ آمین

• ہمارے معاشرے میں اس وقت اخلاقی زوال ایک سنگین حقیقت بن چکا ہے۔ معاشرتی اقدار دم توڑتی جا رہی ہیں. یہاں تک کہ وہ شخصیات بھی، جن پر اخلاقی و روحانی تربیت کی ذمہ داری ہے، بعض اوقات خود اخلاقی معیار پر پوری نہیں اترتیں۔ ایسے انتشار زدہ ماحول میں شیخ الاسلام ڈاکٹر محمد طاہر القادری صاحب کی شخصیت ایک روشن مینار کی طرح نظر آتی ہے۔
میرے لیے آپ کی سب سے زیادہ متاثر کرنے والی بات آپ کا اعلیٰ اخلاق، متوازن طرزِ فکر اور کردار کی مضبوطی ہے۔ میں نے جب بھی آپ کے خطابات، یا انٹرویوز سنے تو ہمیشہ آپ کو اختلاف کے باوجود احترام کا دامن تھامے ہوئے پایا۔ آپ نے کبھی بدکلامی، نفرت یا تضحیک کا راستہ اختیار نہیں کیا بلکہ ہمیشہ دلیل، حکمت اور شائستگی سے بات کی۔ آپ کا پیغام محبت، امن، رواداری اور باہمی احترام پر مبنی ہے، جو آج کے معاشرے کی ایک بنیادی ضرورت بن چکا ہے۔ بلاشبہ آپ صرف علم کا سمندر ہی نہیں بلکہ عملی اخلاق کا آئینہ بھی ہیں۔
• شیخ الاسلام ڈاکٹر محمد طاہر القادری صاحب کی زندگی اس بات کا عملی نمونہ ہے کہ علم کے ساتھ عاجزی، کردار کے ساتھ تحمل و بردباری اور جدوجہد کے ساتھ اخلاص انسان کو باوقار بناتا ہے. اور یہ سب علم کے ساتھ جڑے بغیر ممکن نہیں. یہی وجہ ہے کہ شیخ الاسلام بچپن سے ہی کتابوں سے لگاؤ رکھتے تھے. آپ کی علمی سلطنت کی بنیاد مطالعہ سے محبت ہے. آپ بچپن میں مختلف تفریحات پر پیسے خرچ کرنے کی بجائے اپنے جیب خرچ سے کتابیں خریدا کرتے تھے. نوجوانوں کو چاہیے کہ وہ کتابوں سے اپنا رشتہ مضبوط کریں تاکہ نفرت اور شدت پسندی سے دور رہ سکیں اور اپنی بات دلیل اور اخلاق کے دائرے میں رہ کر پیش کرنا سیکھ سکیں۔
