Foreword
Humanity is faced with complex problems in the modern age. The fact that man is being grinded by gigantic problems like dearness, poverty, ignorance and lack of basic facilities etc is not hidden from any one. In the developing world, out of 4.4 billion people, 2.5 billion are deprived of the basic health facilities. One third of world population does not have clean drinking water. Only in Africa a population ranging from 75 million to 250 million can face the possibility of water draught till 2020. If measured from the standard of Human Development Index in terms of health, education and income, the sad fact crops up that Pakistan ranks at 138th position. 60 million population of Pakistan out of total 160 million is deprived of clean drinking water. More than 100 million people are illiterate. Thousands of children die due to lack of proper medical facilities. Hundreds of thousands do not have proper food to feed themselves two times a day. Poverty is a great stumbling block and stunts the educational careers of countless promising Pakistani students. Girls of marriageable age cannot get married due to lack of financial resources and dowry etc. There is no public arrangement for looking after widowed, helpless and the poor in society. There is a need to make practical efforts for the welfare of the suffering humanity in these deplorable conditions.
Aims and Objects
Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri laid the foundation stone of Minhaj Welfare Foundation (MWF) to render services in the field of public welfare. The objective behind establishment of this Foundation is to arouse feelings of sympathy in human beings, to create atmosphere of mutual love, brotherhood and to work for the establishment of a real Islamic welfare society by including the less privileged sections in the mainstream. The need of such effort is all the more acute in view of the fact that the developing world lacks proper organized arrangements at the official level contrary to the developed world. The Minhaj Welfare Foundation is engaged in the service of humanity by rising above the distinctions of caste, creed, sex, colour and religion.
