Introduction to the Fatwa on Suicide Bombings and Terrorism

Presented here is the recording of the press conference, organised by Minhaj-ul-Quran International, for the launch of the historical fatwa on terrorism and suicide bombings by Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri, a highly renowned scholar and authority on Islam.

Fatwa on Terrorism and Suicide Bombings

Lady Fāṭimah al-Zahrāʾ (ʿa, an honorific meaning ʿalayhā al-salām — “peace be upon her”) stands as the radiant symbol of purity, devotion, and truth in Islam. Her life reflects unwavering faith, boundless generosity, and the deepest attachment to her father, the Prophet Muḥammad (peace be upon him and his Family). Thus, through her virtues, she became a timeless model for all believers seeking moral excellence and nearness to God.
About the Book
The Virtues of Sayyedah Fatimah (sa), written by Dr. Muḥammad Ṭāhir-ul-Qādrī and published by Minhaj-ul-Quran International in 2005, gathers Qurʾānic verses and ḥadīth (prophetic traditions, authentic and well-documented) that illustrate the moral, spiritual, and familial virtues of Lady Fāṭimah. The work presents her as the ideal daughter, wife, and mother in the household of the Prophet (Ahl al-Bayt, the Prophet’s Household), highlighting her role as the link between Prophethood (nubuwwah) — the divine mission of the Prophet Muḥammad — and Imamate (imāmah) — the divinely guided leadership of his successors. Dr. Ṭāhir-ul-Qādrī’s scholarly approach bridges traditional devotion with contemporary understanding, offering readers both reverence and reflection.
