Knowledge without adab is nothing but a burden: Chairman Supreme Council
Address at the Annual Prize Distribution Ceremony, Minhaj College for Women Lahore
Position-holding students and outstanding faculty & staff members were awarded shields

Chairman of the Supreme Council of Minhaj-ul-Quran International, Dr. Hassan Mohi-ud-Din Qadri, addressed the annual prize distribution ceremony at Minhaj Girls College on the theme of knowledge. He said that knowledge is not merely a means of earning a livelihood; it is also a means of serving humanity. Without adab (respect, etiquette, and moral refinement), knowledge becomes nothing but a burden. The most beautiful gift parents can give their daughters is to adorn them with the treasure of education. The purpose of education is not just to obtain a degree, but to become a refined, upright, and socially beneficial human being.

He emphasized that adab and taqwa (piety) hold a central place in the pursuit of knowledge. He encouraged the students to keep their complete focus on learning, stating that an educated and virtuous woman becomes a source of goodness for her home as well as for the entire society.

During the annual ceremony, position-holding students, outstanding faculty members, and staff were awarded shields and certificates. A large number of students, teachers, distinguished guests, and members of the administration attended the event.
At the conclusion of the ceremony, Prof. Dr. Hassan Mohi-ud-Din Qadri, Dr. Ghazala Hassan Qadri, Fizza Hussain Qadri, and Principal Aftab Ahmad Khan distributed shields and certificates to the top-performing students from various sessions of Intermediate, al-Shahadah al-‘Aliyah, and al-Shahadah al-‘Alamiyah programs. Faculty and staff members who demonstrated exceptional performance were also awarded appreciation shields.
The event was attended in large numbers by Deputy Secretary General (Tanzeemat) Dr. Rafiq Najam, Director Colleges Wing Commander (R) Muhammad Ghaffar, Babar Chaudhry, Altaf Randhawa, Sanaullah Khan, Dr. Humaira Naz, and many other faculty members, staff, and students.
