Al-Tazkiya 2026 concluded with a powerful call for spiritual transformation as Dr. Ghazala Qadri delivered a deeply reflective lecture on the final day of the three-day program. Drawing together the lessons explored throughout the camp, she encouraged participants to cultivate faith, sacrifice, knowledge, courage, sincerity and devotion in their own lives. Opening with the Qur’anic verse, “And We are closer to him than his jugular vein” (50:16), Dr Ghazala directed attention towards the inner dimension of spiritual development and the importance of strengthening one’s relationship with Allah Almighty.

Reflecting on the examples discussed during the preceding days, she highlighted the lives of Umm al-Momineen Sayyidah Khadijah (RA), Sayyidah Zaynab bint Ali (RA), Sayyidah Nusaybah bint Ka‘ab (RA), and Umm al-Momineen Sayyidah Umm Salama (RA), drawing attention to their devotion, sacrifice, courage, patience and resilience.A significant part of the lecture focused on Umm al-Darda’ (RA) and the pursuit of beneficial knowledge. Dr Ghazala highlighted her dedication to the Qur’an and Hadith and her role as a respected scholar and teacher. She encouraged Muslim women to pursue structured and sustained learning and to transform knowledge into practice and service.

The life of Sayyidah Rabi‘a al-‘Adawiyya (RA) was presented as an example of deep devotion, remembrance and love of Allah Almighty. Dr. Ghazala encouraged participants to bring conscious remembrance of Allah into the ordinary details of daily life, emphasizing that sincere intentions can transform everyday actions into acts of worship. Addressing the realities of modern life, Dr. Ghazala also discussed faith and spirituality in the age of social media. She encouraged participants to develop practical and sustainable digital habits, carefully choose the content they consume, establish realistic boundaries and replace excessive scrolling with Qur’an, dhikr, beneficial reading, learning, meaningful relationships and productive activities.

She further explored hayah, explaining that modesty extends beyond outward appearance and is rooted in an awareness of Allah Almighty’s presence. She highlighted the importance of inner confidence and sincerity rather than seeking constant validation or public recognition. Another key theme was sincerity over performed spirituality. Discussing riya’, Dr. Ghazala encouraged participants to continually examine their intentions and ask themselves, “For whose sake?” She emphasized that genuine worship should be rooted in a sincere relationship with Allah Almighty rather than dependence on an audience.

Towards the conclusion, Dr. Ghazala urged the sisters to translate inspiration into action through small, sincere and consistent steps. She emphasized that the purpose of Al-Tazkiya was not merely to create a temporary spiritual experience but to inspire lasting transformation in homes, families, communities and daily life. In her final message, D.r Ghazala encouraged participants to remain connected with their sisters, local communities and the work of Minhaj-ul-Quran, contributing through their time, skills, knowledge and service. Quoting Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri’s message, “Stay connected and you will remain protected,” she stressed the importance of continuing the journey of spiritual growth beyond the camp.

She reminded participants that the righteous women studied throughout Al-Tazkiya represent a living legacy of faith, sacrifice, knowledge, courage, sincerity and service. The program concluded with a renewed emphasis on spiritual growth, sincere worship, sisterhood, beneficial knowledge and service to the Deen.
