\"\"The international conference on Islamic Economics and Finance, held on 24th and 25th January at Minhaj-ul-Quran University, was far more than an academic gathering. It was a continuation of an intellectual and visionary journey that began decades ago. Scholars from Malaysia, Australia, Iran, Bahrain, Brunei Darussalam, Qatar, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, and T\u00fcrkiye presented their research papers and offered comprehensive, well-thought-out solutions to the economic challenges faced by Muslim countries today.<\/p>\n

The conference reflected not only academic maturity but also Minhaj-ul-Quran University\u2019s emergence as a serious global center of research, dialogue, and thought leadership.<\/p>\n

My relationship with Minhaj-ul-Quran is deeply personal, emotional, and rooted in lived experience. After completing my matriculation, I became a student of Dars-e-Nizami at Minhaj-ul-Quran Madrasa. That phase of my life remains one of the most formative and cherished periods I can recall.<\/p>\n

I have been fortunate enough to be among those students who directly learned from Professor Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri\u2014a thinker of Islam, renowned Qur\u2019anic exegete, scholar, and global intellectual figure\u2014by sitting at his feet and absorbing knowledge firsthand. This was not merely an academic association; it was a holistic process of intellectual grooming, moral training, and character building.<\/p>\n

Adding to this honor, Dr. Hassan Mohi-ud-Din Qadri, the elder son of Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri, was my class fellow at Minhaj-ul-Quran. This close association allowed me to observe the institution from within\u2014its discipline, ethos, vision, and sincerity. During the 1990s, Minhaj-ul-Quran held a distinctive and highly respected position among religious institutions worldwide, a stature that it proudly maintains today. At that time, students securing high marks in matriculation considered admission to Minhaj-ul-Quran a matter of prestige and pride.<\/p>\n

Under the direct supervision and companionship of Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri, discipline at Minhaj-ul-Quran was exemplary\u2014arguably more structured and rigorous than even cadet colleges. Students were encouraged to become spiritually grounded, intellectually sharp, and morally upright. Regular prayers, night worship (Tahajjud), and a strong emphasis on ethical conduct were integral parts of student life.<\/p>\n
