Gosha e Durood Brazil L +4

The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has showered countless blessings on Minhaj-ul-Quran International (MQI). The chief among them is the establishment of Gosha-e-Durood in the central secretariat. It is a place on earth after the Two Holy Mosques that is dedicated to offering greetings and salutations on the Holy Prophet (PBUH) round the clock, 24/7 and during 365 days of a year.

Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri inaugurated Gosha-e-Durood on the 1st of December 2005 and the place has been abuzz with Durood-o-Salam since that time. People belonging to different parts of the world including Pakistan book their berths in advance to join Gosha-e-Durood. In their turn, they join Gosha-e-Durood, keep fasts and continue to offer greetings and salutations on the beloved Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Those who have the honor of being residents of Gosha-e-Durood are also awarded special certificates on behalf of Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri. Since the inception of Gosha-e-Durood, thousands of people from across the far-flung areas have spent time in Gosha-e-Durood and many more are on the waiting list.

Gosha-e-Durood was initially established in the office of Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri in the central secretariat of MQI. The construction of a building, which was meant purpose-built, was started later on. The building of Gosha-e-Durood ‘Minara-tus-Salam’ was built on the model of Maulana Rum's Holy Shrine.

It may be pertinent to mention here that Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri laid the foundation stone of Minara-tus-Salam on the 1st of Rabi-ul-Awwal in 2006 while the construction work formally got underway on June 18, 2007, that was completed under the supervision of qualified engineers and construction experts. Suffa Hall has also been constructed alongside the main building.
