Launch of Irfan-ul-Quran on February 19, 2009 by Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri

Minhaj-ul-Quran International is working on sound footings for propagation of Islamic teachings at a wider level and protection of faith of the young generations along scientific lines. In order to achieve this purpose, all the offices located within the central secretariat of MQI have been connected to one another through a state of the art computer network aimed at enabling them to benefit from the modern information technology on the one hand. Minhaj Internet Bureau (MIB) was set up, on the other hand, with a view to addressing apprehensions, misperceptions and misunderstandings about Islam globally, promote real and original teachings of Islam and knit the diverse Muslim communities in a single unified whole.

MIB seeks to attain a leading role for MQI in the cyber world as promoter of interfaith dialogue, harmony and peace. The Bureau continues to work with utmost dedication to allay misperceptions about Islam by apprising the world about real Islamic teachings. Various websites, developed and published online by MIB, are the examples of the Bureau’s work. These sites owned by MQI are found to be reliable and authentic source of information and hence grouped into leading category.

1994 to 1996 - The central organizational website of MQI namely www.minhaj.org emerged online under the supervision of Mudassar Islam (Holland) between 1994 and 96. It was the time when even the educated class was not much aware of internet and its usage.

1996 to 2003 - A self-contained department, meant to propagate and highlight the MQI’s services and contributions in the realm of peace, interfaith harmony, dialogue and peaceful coexistence among various communities, came into being by the name of Minhaj Internet Bureau.
