Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri, 2011

Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri ( Urdu محمد طاہر القادری DMG Muḥammad Ṭāhir al-Qādrī ; Born February 19, 1951 in Jhang ) is a Pakistani scholar of Islam. He is the founder and head of the Sunni organization Minhaj ul-Quran and chairman of the political party " People's Movement of Pakistan " which he founded in 1989 . She is not represented in the Pakistani parliament.

He gained particular notoriety in 2010 when he issued a fatwa to scourge suicide bombers as infidels and enemies of Islam. Experts rated the declaration as the most comprehensive theological refutation of Islamist terrorism to date.

In January 2013, Qadri became the leader of a movement that wanted to impose political Islam in Pakistan through "street pressure". In October 2014, he broke off his protest unsuccessfully and withdrew from Pakistani politics.

Positions

The constitution of Medina , reference model and nucleus for the ummah (global Muslim community) remains pioneering in terms of religious policy . No man-made constitution could be said to be superior to the constitution created by God ( Allah ).

The former advisor to the Sharia Court and the Supreme Court of Pakistan believes in the moral and political superiority of Islamic law (Sharia), which the Koran and Sunna offer every state. Islam is a worldview and way of life aimed at political activity and social participation for all people. Tahir-ul-Qadri firmly believes in democracy and human rights, and claims that the ultimate framework of all rights, including human rights, is given and guaranteed by Islam (Koran and Sunna; Sharia).

Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri was one of the signatories of the Amman Message ( Amman Message ).

Leader of a revolt against the Pakistani government

At the end of 2012 he returned to Pakistan from his Canadian exile and on December 23 rallied 100,000 supporters calling for political change. Then on January 13th, he and tens of thousands of supporters marched from Lahore to the capital Islamabad to force the government under Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf , described as "corrupt and incompetent", to resign. At the rally on January 14th in Islamabad, Tahir-ul-Qadri said that only one percent of Pakistani benefited from the current order; there is actually no parliament, but “just a group of robbers, thieves and gangsters. Our lawmakers are the lawbreakers ”. There were clashes with the police who tried to arrest Tahir-ul-Qadri. There should have been shootings that the other side was charged with.

Tahir-ul-Qadri gave the government an ultimatum until January 15. Until then, the government should resign and parliament should be dissolved in order to install a transitional government consisting of technocrats in preparation for the parliamentary elections planned for early summer . This should enable "the choice of 'honest people'"; otherwise a “democratic revolution” follows. The government accused the preacher of violating the constitution. On the same day, to the cheers of the demonstrators , the Pakistani Supreme Court ordered Prime Minister Ashraf and 15 other people to be arrested on corruption charges, following a longstanding conflict between the court and the ruling Pakistani People's Party . The Pakistani government has not confirmed an arrest order. When the parliament did not react despite around 25,000 demonstrators in front of the security zone of the government district, Tahir-ul-Qadri shouted to the crowd: “I ask you to stay until tomorrow. I will stay". Stock prices plummeted in Pakistan after the court order.

Tahir-ul-Qadri was charged in 2013 with wanting to delay the parliamentary elections. The government claims that he is supported by the military; some referred to him as a “handyman” of the generals and judges, whose costly, week-long campaign was financed by these circles, especially since the generals had lost their reputation since the shooting of Osama bin Laden in May 2011.
