On 7 June, Minhaj-ul-Quran International UK hosted a historic Sirah Conference at Jamia Masjid Madinah, Sheffield, attracting thousands of devotees of the Holy Prophet ﷺ from across the United Kingdom. The event brought together scholars, spiritual leaders, and attendees from diverse backgrounds and schools of thought, reflecting a powerful spirit of unity and love for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Thousands of women also participated in the spiritually uplifting gathering.
The conference was exceptionally well organised, with Minhaj-ul-Quran volunteers serving with dedication and professionalism. The programme was hosted by Shaykh Muhammad Afzal Saeedi, Director of Madinat al-Zahra. Qur’an recitation was delivered by Qari Ghulam Yaseen, while Minhaj al-Munshideen presented na‘at and devotional nasheeds.

Speaking before a capacity audience that filled all three halls of the mosque, he delivered a profound and inspiring discourse on the love, devotion, and teachings of the Holy Prophet ﷺ. His address deeply moved the audience and created a powerful spiritual atmosphere that left a lasting impact on all who attended.
May Allah Almighty preserve Shaykh-ul-Islam’s guidance and leadership for the benefit of the Muslim Ummah and enable us to continue benefiting from his scholarly and spiritual contributions. Ameen.
