LONDON, October 12, 2026: Professor Maulana Abdul Qadir Saleh, Naib-e-Ameer of Khelafat Majlis, has said that the fundamental principle of Islamic politics is to seek Allah’s pleasure through the sacrifice of one’s time, labour, intellect and wealth.
He stressed that the success of an Islamic movement cannot be achieved without sacrifice and dedication to the cause of Islam. Throughout history, he said, the movements to establish the teachings of Islam have been strengthened by the selfless sacrifices of prophets, messengers and their devoted followers.
Abdul Qadir Saleh urged the organisation’s leaders and activists not to abandon their principles in the face of temporary obstacles, challenges or worldly temptations. He called on them to conduct their political activities solely to seek Allah’s pleasure by following the examples of prophets and their sincere followers.
