As'salaamu alaykum; Does anyone have any info on who Sh. Tahir ul-Qadri is? I googled him and found some info, I also read his wiki but I'm still not clear. One tidbit of info I found interesting was on the wiki of his Shaykh, Sh. Tahir Allauddin. In regards to his students it stated: "He had many students who become very popular.[11] Some of the political and governmental leaders of Pakistan used to sit in his gatherings and learn from him.[12]Some of his prominent students are Shaykh ul Islam Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri, al-`Arif Billah al-Imam Mowlana Mustafa Raza Khan, the Barelwi muhaddith Moulana, Syed Ahmad Sa'id al-Kazmi, the Deobandi `alim and Muhaddith, Mawlana Yusuf Binori, the Deobandi Mufti of Pakistan, Moulana Muhammad Shafi and the Pakistani politician, Haji Muhammad Hanif Tayab. Some of the governmental rulers who attended his gatherings were the President of Pakistan Ayub Khan, Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, and General Zia ul Haq.[13][14]" It seems that he is neither Barelwi nor Deobandi though he may have opinions common among Barelwis minus the harshness. I'm a little confused. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Jazak-Allah khair.
