SHAYKH UL ISLAM INSTITUTE OF SPIRITUAL STUDIES

The idea of “Tasawwuf, Sufism and spiritualism “is not new to mankind. In fact, the concept of spiritualism can be found in most religions of the world. Most religions aim at helping their followers to purify and elevate them spiritually and encourage them to move away from immoral desires and activities. In Islam, human-being is combination of two realities named, body and spirit. Body is associated with earthly elements like clay, water, air and fire whereas, the spirit has originated from the breath of God: “Then when I have perfected its (visible body) and blown into its (invisible) self My Own (illumining) spirit, fall down prostrate before him (in his honour)." (Q. 38:72)

Inspiration

Shaykh-ul-Islam Prof Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri is the source of inspiration behind this institution. His thoughts, vision and works have led to the revival of spiritual sciences in the current era. Shaykh-ul-Islam’s aim and vision is to revive the teachings of mysticism in the light of the Qur’anic and Prophetic teachings. This institution has been established to relive and revive the most perfect and beautiful model of the Holy Prophet’s life, and reconnect ourselves with the golden era of Islam. Shaykh-ul-Islam has given a logical and scientific lens to view and comprehend the science of spirituality and has authored dozens of books and delivered hundreds of lectures to draw attention of rational minds towards this important subject. Hence, this initiative is a platform to address any misconception or ambiguity that hinders youth to voyage the path of spirituality through the study of classical literature and scientific researches, validating spiritual life.
