The whole sole guidance of MSO has been its Patron and widely respected Scholar of Islam and Professor in Urdu department of Aligarh Muslim University, Syed Ameen Mian Qaudri Barkati who is Sajjada Nashin of Khankah of Marehra, district Etah (Uttar Pradesh).

This year programme was no different in its grandness and was a huge success as both boys and girls turned up in large number.The Conference strated with the recitation of verses of Holy Quran by Qari Jawed.

Mohammad Zaid (AMU) and Mohammad Qayamuddin (Jamia), Ateef Mian (Badaun), Dr. Syed Siraj Ajmali (AMU), all presented the gift of beautiful na'ats in the praise of prophet (S.A.W).

M.S.O AMU Unit President Mohammad Najmuddin Ahmed adressed the presents with words of welcome, then emphasising the need for promoting Sufi teachings of peace and Love in the Country; Guest of Honour Dr. Liyaqat Hussain Moini appealed the students to adopt the Sufi Way of spreading Islam.

He said that Sufis taught Love and respect towards other religions and this was the main reason that they could establish not only themself but made Islam a popular religion in this land where it was not present even in minor form.

Chief Guest of Conference, AMU VC Professor P.K. Abdul Aziz said that Muslim youths should follow our beloved Prophet's (S.A.W) example which he gave in each sphere of Life.

Touching the current issues he advised the students to be ready by their actions and deeds to counter the Western propaganda that Islam preaches terorrism and extremism. He praised MSO for organizing a well managed, disciplined and beautifull evening.

Speakers of the Conference and head of Darul Ifta Ashrafia University Mubarakpur, Azamagarh, who is also expert in modern islamic problems dealing with Jurisprudence, Mufti Nizamuddin, said that Allah Praises Prophet of Islam (S.A.W) and wishes that we must praise and respect him.

Paying emphasis on the dignity and love towards Holy Prophet (Sallalahoalaihiwassalam) he said that unless a Muslim loves passionately the Prophet (Sallalahoalaihiwassalam) even more than his life, property and relatives, his Imaan remains incomplete.

Honour and love of Holy Prophet (Sallalahoalaihiwassalam) is Imaan. The best example of love and honour towards beloved Prophet (Sallalahoalaihiwassalam) may be seen from acts and deeds of Sahaba-e-Kiram.

Prof Akhtarul Wasey, Head of Islamic Studies Jamia Millia Islamia, said that students must not forget the acts of Nabi kareem (Sallalahoalaihiwassalam) which were the best examples for the whole of the world. We must not get into an inferiority complex by Western concepts of secularism and tolerance as these are the hallmark of an Islamic state and we have proved them in our rule from Medina to India.

In Medina we established peace and non Muslims were given protection. We respected and gave honour to Old, Women, Children, Weak and Ill. We administered this Country for more than 800 years and we were in minority in this country and we are still in minority.

Isn't it a strong evidence that we are Peaceful and Islam was not spread by the sword ?Indonesia and Malyasia are Muslim Countries but we know that no Islamic warrior had to do war there. This is the beauty of Islam and that's why it is the fastest growing religion of the world.

Presiding the Conference, Professor Syed Ameen Mian Qaudri, who is a favourite among the students for his original and advising words, said that neither you should have inferiority complex regarding recent condition of Islamic world nor you should fear about future of Islam beacuse Islam has established itself in every adverse situation in most unbelievable circumstances at every nook and corner of the globe. Allah has Himself promised to keep faith in Him and success will wait for us open handed.

The thing we need to do is to have strong Iman in Allah and passionate love and respect towards beloved Nabi kareem (Sallalahoalaihiwassalam).

He advised students to be ready to face the real and practical world where one can be successful only when he has prepared himself. He told them to study hard and excel in their different fields because in this age the War will be fought not by Swords but by the Mind and those who will use their mind according to the most advanced techniques of science and technology will come out successful.

Shahnawaz Warsi, General Convener of M.S.O Delhi State, thanked all the speakers and guests. Ahmed Mujtaba Siddiqui beautifully conducted the Conference.
