Those who become members of Minhaj-ul-Quran International are called “Rafiq,” meaning companions. The founding leader of Minhaj-ul-Quran International (MQI), Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri, derived the term “Rafiq” from the verse in the Quran, “Surely you have in them excellent companions.” This signifies that individuals who continuously strive for the revival of Islam and put aside personal interests for the cause are truly the best companions of Allah and His Messenger (pbuh).

Therefore, becoming a Rafiq goes beyond simply filling out a form and being a member. It means becoming a custodian of worldly and spiritual blessings, a beloved servant of Allah, and a true follower of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).
