Healthy marriage, healthy nation, says Fr Falak Sher

Bureau report
Manchester
The Revd Canon Falak Sher, parish priest of the Church of the Ascension, Salford, said healthy marriages can produce a healthy nation in Pakistan. He urged the Chief Minister of Punjab, Maryam Nawaz, to ensure child protection, stop underage marriages and encourage constructive dialogue to promote collective responsibility in safeguarding the rights and wellbeing of children and families. He was addressing a press conference organised by overseas Pakistani clergy of the Manchester Diocese at the Church of the Ascension, Salford. He also read the message of Bishop David Walker, Lord Bishop of Manchester, on the occasion. Other speakers who addressed the event included Revd Fayaz Adman, Asif Mall, Aftab Alexander, Maqbool Malik, Revd Nathan Bhatti, Mahboob Elahi Butt and others.


Fr Falak Sher criticised the court decision regarding a minor girl, Maria Shahbaz, aged 12 years and 9 months, who was allegedly abducted and converted after marriage to a young man, Shehryar, in the Nawab Town Police Station area of Lahore. “We dedicate this conference to all our underage daughters who are suffering silently and forcibly in the name of power and religion. I hope and pray that you will raise your voice for them. We pause for a minute and pay our tributes to them,” he stated.
Fr Falak Sher said that traumatised minor mothers will produce traumatised children, which will create a traumatised society and an unhealthy nation. He said that if mothers receive good health care and education, they will help build a great nation. He added that although the minimum legal age for marriage is 18, thousands of children are still forced into marriage while still minors. He said that an appeal would be filed against the court decision in the Maria Shahbaz case and that Barrister Maqbool Malik would appear on behalf of the overseas Pakistani community. Other speakers also condemned child marriage in Pakistan, demanded protection of minors’ rights, implementation of the minimum marriage age law, and urged the media to highlight the issue.

Mounir al-Qadiri Boudchich: The Sheikh of Moroccan Sufism and a Pioneer of Spiritual Diplomacy in the World

by London Post
written by London Post

Amr khalifa
In a rapidly evolving religious and intellectual landscape, Mounir al-Qadiri Boudchich, the new Sheikh of the Qadiri Boudchichi Sufi order in Morocco, has emerged as one of the most prominent contemporary Sufi figures. He has successfully transitioned Moroccan Sufism from its traditional sphere to the realm of global dialogue and spiritual diplomacy. From within the Qadiri Boudchichi zawiya (Sufi lodge) in Madagh, eastern Morocco, he leads an intellectual and spiritual project that seeks to solidify the values ​​of moderation, love, and coexistence through a discourse that combines spiritual depth with openness to contemporary issues.
Dr. Mounir al-Qadiri Boudchich belongs to a distinguished Sufi family whose name is synonymous with the Qadiri Boudchichi order, one of the most renowned Sufi orders in Morocco and the Islamic world. He received his scholarly and spiritual formation within this environment before turning to intellectual and cultural work, where he has established a notable presence at international conferences and forums concerned with religious and cultural dialogue.
Dr. Moulay Mounir al-Qadiri recently assumed the leadership of the Qadiriyya Budshishiyya Sufi order, succeeding his late father, Dr. Moulay Jamal al-Din, according to a written will. Al-Qadiri also serves as the director of the World Sufi Forum, an international event held annually in the city of Madagh. This forum attracts scholars, thinkers, and researchers from around the world and has, over its successive sessions, become an intellectual and spiritual platform for discussing contemporary human issues from a Sufi perspective, such as world peace, tolerance, spiritual diplomacy, and moral development.
Dr. Mounir al-Qadiri Budshishi is known for his focus on what he calls “practical Sufism,” meaning Sufism linked to serving society and promoting human values, moving beyond the stereotypical image of Sufism as isolation and seclusion. In many of his interventions, he emphasizes that moderate Sunni Sufism constitutes one of the most important intellectual and spiritual bulwarks against extremism and hatred.
He also leads several cultural and spiritual initiatives both within and outside Morocco, including overseeing institutions dedicated to intercultural and interreligious dialogue, in addition to his active involvement in a number of international Sufi organizations, where he focuses on utilizing the spiritual dimension to build bridges of understanding between peoples.
At the international level, Mounir al-Qadiri al-Boudchich has contributed to expanding the presence of the Qadiriyya Boudchichiyya Sufi order in Europe, Africa, and North America, capitalizing on the growing global interest in the Moroccan spiritual model based on moderation and openness. He is also seen as one of the figures representing what is known as “Moroccan spiritual diplomacy,” which employs the Kingdom’s Sufi and cultural heritage to promote dialogue and peace.
Between intellectual activity and spiritual influence, Dr. Mounir al-Qadiri Boudchich continues to present a model of contemporary Sufi leadership that combines authenticity and openness, at a time when there is a growing need for a religious discourse that reaffirms shared human values.
