There
are numerous wishes which have not yet been fulfilled but are
confidential. Bulbul-e-Madinah plans to open a Naat Academy very soon,
Insha-Allah-o-Rabb-ul Aalameen.
Owais
Raza Qadri was married in 1994 and has four children: two daughters and
two sons named Mohammad Anees Raza and Mohammad Afeef Raza.
He
started reciting naats at the age of 8 only. He was inspired by AlHaaj
Yousuf Ashrafi (late) who was his ideal Naat Khawan also. He did not
take special naat classes but acquired the companionship of good, pious
“Ushaqaan-e-Rasool”. All naats are his favorites. Reciting the Kalaam of
Imam-e-Ahle-sunnat, Alahazrat Shah Ahmed Raza Khan Sahib Barelvi is
most liked by Owais Raza Qadri. His first album was released in 1983 and
after that numerous albums have been released.
He has traveled to many countries of the world spreading the message of Islam and love for the Holy Prophet including England, Dubai, Iraq, Iran, India, Hijaz-e-Muqaddas South Africa, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Malawi, Kenya, Syria etc.
Owais
Qadri’s services for the promotion of naats were recently acknowledged
by the Government of Pakistan when he was given the award of Best Naat
Khawan in 2007. As a token of respect, he was also weighed in silver by
Barkati Foundation in 2008.
There
are no formalities for the bookings of Mehfil-e-Naat, however,
privilege is given to areas where something could be done to promote
Islam.
Regarding
his future plans, Owais Qadri states that he will continue reciting
naats and work for getting people back to the path of Sala’at-o-Sunnat.
Muhammad Owais Raza Qadri advises new naat khawans that Naat Khawani is
Ibaadat and before reciting any naat essential knowledge should be
collected about it and special care should be taken to ensure that it is
not objectionable by Islamic Shariah. It is best to check all naats
with a learned scholar. Furthermore, they should restrain from such acts
which can be criticized by others. They should be true and practical
Muslims, i.e. not that talking about love for the Holy Prophet and murdering the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet by shaving off the beard and not showing regularity in daily prayers.
Addressing
the young generation, Muhammad Owais Raza Qadri remarks that
undoubtedly success lies within the fact that we must walk on the path
guided to us by Allah Rabb-ul Aalameen and His Prophet ,
leave the way of strangers and always believe in death. Acquire
adequate knowledge of Islam and recite at least one Ruku of the Holy
Quran (Kanzul Iman) with translation.
