AN INTERVIEW WITH MR KHURRAM QURESHI

these videos in English to ensure the message reaches an international audience. What is the role of other CPS Members in your life? While I have learned immensely from every CPS member, one person who stands out as a significant source of strength and inspiration is Rajat Bhai (Dr Rajat Malhotra). It’s difficult to fully express in words, but his impact on me has been profound. Rajat Bhai’s exemplary sacrifice, dedication, and focus have been instrumental in establishing the CPS mission alongside Maulana. His steadfast commitment serves as a profound inspiration not only to me but to the entire CPS community. Without his presence in the mission, staying committed would have been exceedingly challenging for me. He has been an anchor for the entire CPS team, keeping us united, a role that has become even more crucial following Maulana’s passing, which he has fulfilled with unwavering sincerity. He has been my go-to person for advice and consultation on new projects, issues, and challenges within the CPS mission, as well as in my personal and professional life. His demeanour has a calming effect on me, and his clear thinking and wisdom consistently guide me and the CPS in the right direction. How do you interact with others for spreading the message of peace? Maulana emphasized greatly on introducing the peaceful message of the Quran. For the purpose of promoting peace among the Muslim societies I engage in introducing Goodword’s publication of the Quran, available in over 40 languages, covering major international languages. I connect with local Islamic organizations, mosques, and potential volunteers to spread awareness and encourage participation. Maulana used to emphasize the importance of teamwork, saying that only through collective effort can we achieve our goals. The English translation, overseen by Dr Farida Khanam under Maulana Wahiduddin Khan’s guidance, is globally praised for its clear, contemporary language, compact size, and elegant presentation, which has garnered widespread acceptance and serves as a significant motivator. o
