(1) Further Essenatial Reading (2) Y oung People and Students (3) Clerics, Imams and Teachers
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 wrongly considering 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 Quran,
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 terrorism can be
eliminated. The Islamic Curriculum on Peace and Counter-Terrorism was prepared for this purpose.
This curriculum aims to provide resources from the Holy Quran, Hadith and authoritative books to provide a
comprehensive ideological and theological background to all the key areas that are utilised to brainwash youngsters.
The Islamic Curriculum on Peace and Counter-Terrorism has been compiled under the supervision and guidance of
Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri who is the author of the Fatwa on Terrorism and Suicide
Bombings.

Relations of Muslims And Non-MuslimsRelations of Muslims and Non-Muslims focuses on dealing with questions and
concerns regarding long-term and sustainable peaceful relations between Muslims and non-Muslims, in both Muslim majority countries and also western countries where Muslims live
as minorities.
The book is divided into two sections. The first section discusses individual and community
relations, providing ample evidences for very important aspects in this regard. Muslims in
their treatment of non-Muslims, bas a rule, are to ensure that all non-Muslims are secure in
their lives and in their belongings. The book further illustrates how Muslims are to treat non-Muslims with piety and
excellent social morality, and not as second class citizens or inferior beings.
The second section of the book discusses the categories of abodes, making this work one of geopolitical relevance.Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri provides evidences and nuanced interpretations of the concepts The
Abode of Islam, The Abode of Reconciliation, The Abode of Treaty, The Abode of Peace, and The Abode
of War. Clear definitions of these categories are offered, along with how different countries can and cannot be
classified in each of these categories.
This book presents a high standard of Islamic scholarship for Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Members of diverse
communities may benefit by comparing their own viewpoints, perspectives, understandings, and opinions with this
important work of an authentic scholarly standard.

Fatwa on Terrorism And Suicide Bombings
A torturous spate of terorism that continues unabated for last many years has broughtMuslim Umma in general and Pakistan in particular into disrepute. There is no gainsaying
the fact that the Muslims on the whole oppose and condemn terrorism in unequivocal terms
and are not ready to accept it even as remotely related to Islam in any manner. However, a
negligible minority amongst them seems to give it a tacit support. Instead of openly
opposing and condemning terrorism, these people confuse the entire subject by resorting to
misleading and perplexing discussions. Injustice being currently meted out to the Muslims in certain matters, double
standards displayed by bigger powers and their open-ended and long-term military engagements in a number of
countries, under the pretext of eliminating terror, form some of the fundamental local, national and international
causes that underpin terrorism, and add a punch to the war cry of militants.
Similarly, the terrorists' recourse to violence, indiscriminate massacre of humanity, suicide bombings against innocent
and peaceful people, and bomb blasts on Mosques, shrines, educational institutions, Bazaars, governmental buildings,
trade centres, markets, security installations, and other public places, which are heinous, anti-human and barbarous
steps in their very essence, have become a routine affair. These people justify their actions of human destruction and
mass killing of hundreds of innocent people in the name of Jihad and thus distort, deform and confuse the entire
Islamic concept of Jihad (holy struggle against evil). This situation is causing Muslims in general and the Muslim youthin particular to fall prey to doubts and reservations besides muddling their minds in respect of Jihad because those
perpetrating these atrocities are from amongst Muslims. They practice Islamic rituals, perform acts of worship and
wear appearance delineated in Sharia. This has put not only the common Muslims but a dominating majority
of religious scholars and intellectuals too into a paradox, bewildered to know truly the exact and precise Islamic
injunctions about the way of workings, methods and measures these individuals and groups have adopted to cause the
havoc

Islam on Mercy And CompassionThe 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 Quran 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, Islam on Mercy and Compassion 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.

Muhammad The Merciful
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 (peace be upon him)
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 Quran, along with reliable Hadith, specially
selected for authenticity and relevance. All sources are meticulously referenced in Dr Tahir-ul-Qadris characteristic
style.
This book Muhammad The Merciful shows how in spite of immense hardships and painful ordeals, the mercy and
compassion of the Prophet (peace be upon him) 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 (peace be upon him)
and an incentive to instil the great qualities of the Prophet (peace be upon him) in their own lives, while non-Muslims
and academics will discover how these qualities as described in the Islamic literature have caused the Prophet (peace be
upon him) to occupy his preeminent position in the religious consciousness of Muslims.

Islam on Serving HumanityThe most crucial attribute of a believer and of those seeking the highest levels of
spirituality, is that of having the best etiquettes 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 etiquettes and manners is to benefit other human beings; by not subjecting them to
any kind of stress, trouble, mischief or harm. Good morals and etiquettes automatically benefit others even without
positively striving to do so.
Islam on Serving Humanity 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, travellers 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
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.

Islam on Love And Non-Violence
The topic of Islam on love a nd non-violence in an environment imbued withintolerance, 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 Allahs exalted Messenger. The holy Quran states that Almighty Allah has
raised the Prophet as an epitome of mercy for the entireuniverse. 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 protectionof 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 Kaba 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.

The Supreme Jihad
Jihad, a word popularly translated by the media as holy war, provides theideological underpinnings to violent extremists, while at the same time informs the average
westerner that Islam is a religion that advocates violence and barbarism. And yet the famous
saying of the Prophet Muhammad, while returning from battle, We have returned from the
lesser jihad to the greater jihad has ensured that to the majority of Muslims around the
world, jihad primarily refers to the inner struggle against base desires, and the spiritual and
moral Endeavour to promote human values and achieve fairness and justice in society.
Many scholars, however, both Muslim and non-Muslim, cast doubt on the broad application that Islam gives to the
term, and question the authenticity of the aforementioned statement of the Prophet. In The Supreme JIHAD which isan extremely important work, the eminent and renowned Islamic scholar, Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri provides a
meticulously researched study to prove that the Quran and authentic hadiths support the notion that the primary
purpose of jihad is the purification of the soul and promoting good, while it also has a subsidiary meaning of legitimate
warfare between combatants.
The value of this work in explaining the true concept of jihad according to the most authentic and reliable sources
cannot be underestimated, not just for the Muslim readership, a minority of which is vulnerable to extremist
propaganda, but also to the wider audience looking to discover the true meaning of such a provocative word.

Peace Integration and Human Rights
Y oung Muslims in the West and in the Muslim world face many questions connectedto the spread of a relatively new Kharijite philosophy, which presents a half sawn-off distorted
model of Islam as the representative voice. Although the current Muslim situation is full
of challenges, it is also an opportunity to present Islam, with all its intellectual rigours and
spiritual intricacies, to Muslims and non-Muslims alike
In Peace Integration and Human Rights, Shaykh ul-Islam Dr. Muhammad Tahir ul-Qadri
presents the life of the Prophet Muhammad (blessings and peace be upon him) as the ultimate model for nurturing
peace and harmony in a diverse world beckoning for a solution.
This unique and unprecedented work bridges the Prophetic example (Sunna) with the challenges faced by westernMuslims living as minorities. Some of the distinguished features gleaned from the Prophets life include: the migration
to the Illuminated City of Medina; the Constitution of Medina as the first written constitution in human history; the
mechanisms used by the Prophet to establish a culture of peace and security, knowledge and learning, human rights and
equality, and socio-political prosperity; the historic treaty of Hudaybiyya; women rights; the Prophets governance of
a multi-cultural society; and the Prophets relations with non-Muslim
