In 1980, Hazrat Sahib (ra) established the International Muslim Organization (IMO), with its headquarters in Coventry, England. This organization was set up to monitor and support the religious, social and cultural needs of the Muslim Ummah globally. Its aim name was to create Islamic Centers, Mosques, Schools, and Research Centers and organize conferences around the world on topical issues affecting the Muslim Ummah. The organization had established itself in over thirty countries around the world. These include: inter-alia, The Netherlands, Denmark, Sudan, Bangladesh, Botswana, Sri Lanka, Belgium, Germany, Turkey, Afghanistan, Surinam, Nigeria, France, Egypt, Iran, Pakistan, Malawi, Canada, Kashmir, Norway, Bosnia, India, Kenya, USA, UAE, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Portugal, Guyana, Trinidad. Some of Hazrat Sahib (ra) foundational work within the IMO as its President has led to many great examples but a few examples are inter alia; the largest Mosque in Holland, in the city of Den Haag; the largest Islamic Center in North America; biggest Independent Islamic Educational Institution in the World.

The work within this organization as directed by Hazrat Sahib (ra) was not merely to implement palative treatment, but to restore creative and proactive strategies through which the Muslim Ummah can benefit.

Hazrat Sahib (ra) leadership within the IMO led to very dynamic results, including the time when he was responsible for breaking a peace deal between Iran and Iraq to cease hostilities and to bring the end to the war that had been subsisting between them for many years. It was these negotiations that formed the basis of the peace agreement between the two parties and culminated in the peace agreement during the Hajj, under the auspicious of the then President General Zia ul Haq of Pakistan. It was these efforts that brought the Iranian and Iraqi Ambassador for the first time to one public stage at the first conference, organised by the IMO in Den Hague, Holland in 1988. This particular conference was unique in the history of Muslims in Europe, in that for the first time, Turks, Moroccans, Surinamese, Pakistanis, Guyanese, Iranians, Indonesians, Malaysians, and from other nationalities came together to discuss important principles of unity in the Muslim Ummah.

In 1990, Hazrat Sahib (ra) was invited by Mr. Yasser Arafat of the Palestinian Liberation Organization to Tunisia to discuss the future of the Palestinian state. In this meeting Hazrat Sahib (ra) made a quite clear that these discussions were taking place on the basis that no national issues should overtake Islamic issues as it was those Islamic issues which was the basis upon the Muslim Ummah being engaged in the support of the Palestinian cause. I remember sitting at the dinner with Mr. Arafat, and Hazrat Sahib (ra) blatantly asked him what his position on Jerusalem would be. He responded, whether sincerely or not only time will tell, that 'Your Eminence, if I negotiate or compromise on Jerusalem, then please cut my hands off before I make such a mistake'. Satisfied with this response, Hazrat Sahib (ra) returned making du'as for the Palestinian cause.

Hazrat Sahib (ra) visited Iran many times in which close dialogues on issues of international affairs with the then President Rafsanjaani, the Supreme guide of Islamic Revolution of Iran, Ayatollah Khomeini, the current Rehbar of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Syed Ali Khamnei and the then Minister of Cultural Affairs Hujjatul Islam Doctor Khatemi. Hazrat Saheb used these meetings and his visits to Iran to draw on the experiences of Islamic revolution and also to exchange views about the current state of the Muslim Ummah, in order that there can be better uniformity and unity in action and understanding. It was these qualities of leadership that made the Muslim International Organization a formidable force in the reshaping of Muslims affairs worldwide. Such positivity and constructive dialogue could only be forged with honest brokers like Hazrat Sahib (RA) whose absence will be dearly missed in the international scene of the Muslim world.

Hazrat Saheb used his influence around the world, with his murideen to promote the establishment of beautiful Islamic Centers and Mosques and dynamic schools and research Centers. HAZRAT SAHIB (RA) addressed many conferences and delivered many paper, the details of which would be numerous to mention but it is quite clear that where ever he went and whatever he did everybody appraised the holy aura within which he brought a dynamic message of Islam to the simple and intellectual minded alike.

On the 21st of January 1990 Hazrat Sahib (ra) organized a convention of Sunni scholars in order that there should be formulation of a uniform policy to address the issues and affairs not only facing the Muslim community within but outside in the host community and world wide. This convention culminated into the formation of a board of Sunni scholars in which Hazrat Sahib (ra) was chosen to lead the Sunni scholars accompanied by Sahebzada Habibur Rahman, Maulana Zafar Mahmood Farashvi and Pirzada Imdad Hussain. This board started to deliberate on a number of issues including matrimonial divorce and ancillary relief settlements for members of the Muslim community. It was the ideologies expressed in this board that lead to formation of many Shariah Councils being throughout the country.
On the 12th January 1991 there was a convention of Ulema called by the IMO to discuss the issues of the offence caused by Salman Rushdie in his book called the Satanic Verses. This was to be the first official response by the Muslim community to this affair and it was during the course of this convention that it was expressed boldly that the Muslim community would not stand down when it came to the issues of the defence of the respect and honor of the Holy Prophet Muhammad Peace be Upon Him. Hazrat Sahib (ra) leadership throughout the Rusdie affair of the Muslim community lead to a sound and balanced response being given whenever sensitive issues were discussed. It was during the course of this crisis that Hazrat Sahib (ra) developed a very close friendship with Doctor Kalim Siddiqi, the Director of the Muslim Institute, with whom he had long and detailed brain storming sessions on the future of the Muslim community in the United Kingdom. Doctor Kalim Siddiqi once stated that during the course of the Salman Rushdie crisis, he would phone Hazrat Sahib (ra) every time he was to appear on television and discuss with him the issues that would be raised. He said that such discussions were not only useful for it's substantive content but just hearing his voice gave me that spiritual reassurance that would ensure that in any debate that he was to participate in, he would be victorious.
On the 23rd of February 1992 there was another convention of the IMO convened by Hazrat Sahib (RA), calling Ulema to respond to the attack on Iraq by the Allied forces. In his inaugural address Hazrat Sahib (ra) warned the Ulema that the crisis would be the start of open hostilities that the enemies of Islam would instigate against the Muslim community. He categorically foresaw at that time the possibilities of the opening of hostilities in other regions of the world against the Muslim community. His speech if understood by the Ulema then could categorically be labelled as a prophecy for the start of the genocide in Bosnia, Kosovo, Albania and Chechnya. This was a clear signs of a Wali Allah warning the Muslim Ummah in England of their responsibilities for the forthcoming future. To the surprise of many in this convention Hazrat Sahib (ra) stated that people should not conceive Saddam Hussain as Sultan Salahudin Ayubi but should judge the man for his actions and support him for the purposes of defending the honor of the people of Iraq and not the because they deemed Saddam Hussain himself to be a great hero for Muslims. Although shocked then by Hazrat Sahib (ra) words, with the benefit of hindsight Ulema reflect and regret that they did not pay closer heed to the prophecies of Hazrat Sahib (ra) at that time.
His speech in February 1992 formed the pre amble of calling of another convention on the 16th and the 17th of May 1992 in which Hazrat Sahib (ra) called the religious social cultural and political leaders of the Muslim community of the United Kingdom and Europe on a Hajj convention in which there was detailed discussing about not only the principals of unity enunciated during the course of Hajj in classical theology of Islam but the lesson that needs to be derived from that, in order to create uniformity of political and social action, by the leaders of the Muslim community, for the political and economic advancement of the Muslims of Europe. Hazrat Sahib (ra) initiation of discussion for the Muslim future contributed to the setting up of the steering committee for the establishment of the Muslim Parliament of Great Britain. Hazrat Sahib (ra) had already became busy with Doctor Kalim Siddiqi in finalizing the Muslim Manifesto in which clear concise and ambitious goals were laid out as to the direction the Muslim community needs to take. It was quite clear to Hazrat Sahib (ra) that unless and until the Muslim Community decides to look after and sort out it's own affairs, that there would be no other power or institution that would in a position to deliver what is required to the Muslim Ummah.
Another Example of Hazrat Sahib (ra), then unconditional leadership of the Muslim community in Europe was examplified by the result of the IMO convention on the Babri Mosque issue, convened on the 9th of December 1992, in Willesden Green, London, England. Here factions from different parts of the Muslim community had gathered to discuss the demolition of the Babri Mosque and the Indian governments' hegemony against the Muslim minority there. Whilst all the communities were prepared to unite, they had no platform or personality in which they could all feel comfortable in uniting. After a very intense debate at the second session of the convention, it was unanimously decided that the demonstration and the petition that was to be handed to the Indian Embassy, as well as the speeches section of the event, shall all be supervised under the leadership of Hazrat Sahib (RA). It was also unanimously decided that I would preside over the proceedings of speeches. It was quite clear that the confidence of those that had gathered, had circled round Hazrat Sahib (ra) and the institutions that he had built. In the final event when the procession did take place, it was the first time in the history of Muslim in the U.K. that all sects had gathered together to demonstrate against an enemy of Islam, and in this case, the Indian Government, whose actions had caused offence to the honor of the Muslim Ummah. This event culminated into the establishment of a permanent board of Ulema which was headed by Hazrat Sahib (RA), which included Maulana Shabzwari of the Shia faith, Maulana Abdul Rashid Rabbani of the Deobandi faith and Maulana Abdul Hadi of the Ahle-Hadith faith. This group was to give direction to the Muslim community in the U.K. in unity of action rather then unity of faith. Unfortunately this group died, with the demise of Hazrat Sahib (RA).
It was around the same time on around early 1993 that the Muslim Manifesto was completed and there was then launched the Muslim Parliament of Great Britain. In it 's process Hazrat Sahib (ra) was elected the deputy speaker of the Parliament, as Hazrat Sahib (ra) always wanted to contribute to ideas and strategy rather then frontline positioning of his own personality. This is the reason why Hazrat Sahib (ra) gave his full support to the Muslim Parliament and joined hands with those members of the Parliament who truly and sincerely wanted to work for the betterment of the Muslim Ummah.
In the early days Hazrat Sahib (ra) presence in the United Kingdom was not void of religious political activity, as only a few years after his arrival here in 1972, he was elected the overseas president of Jamiatul Ulema e Pakistan. Hazrat Sahib (ra) organized support, including conferences for the Jamiatul Ulema e Pakistan and it was his single handed efforts that ensured the success and the victory of the Jamiatul Ulema e Pakistan in the 70's in Europe and America. It was the credence and the support that these conferences gave to the Islamic movement in Pakistan that meant that the Islamic movement of J.U.P. continued to grow and prosper.
Round the same time in the mid 70's Hazrat Sahib (ra) was also unanimously appointed by representatives of Sunni Ulema of the world as the vice president of World Islamic Mission. Hazrat Sahib (ra) formed this organization and it's infra structure in Europe and America and it was the persistent efforts of Hazrat Sahib (ra) that built the formidable force of World Islamic Mission. As one of it's key founders Hazrat Sahib (ra) directed that such a religious origination should not just take a passive but an active role in the affairs of the Muslim community. It was at Hazrat Sahib (ra) direction that there was organized the Hijaz conference in London in which the leading Ulema of the world attended and deliberated about the freedom of Hijaz, from the tyranny of non-Islamic rule. Through this conference Hazrat Sahib (ra) posed clear demands to the relevant governments and such was the strength of the voice that was raised that it lead to the arrival to the United Kingdom of ministers of the countries in question to try and negotiate with Hazrat Sahib (ra), terms and conditions with which he would be satisfied. Hazrat Sahib (ra) as usual would not compromise principles but was ready to discuss strategy for implementation.
Unfortunately as the agenda was taken away from his hands by some unassuming colleagues in the organization, Hazrat Sahib (RA) resigned from the fact that he would participate in any such negotiations, and based on these principles bowed out of World Islamic Mission. It is a fact that many scholars have stated, that the World Islamic Mission was never the same again after Hazrat Sahib's (RA) departure.
In the early 80's Hazrat Sahib (RA) was approached by Doctor Zaki Badawi an ex-director of the Islamic Cultural Centre, to format and organise Mosque Committee Representatives, and all the Imams Islamic Centers in the United Kingdom. Doctor Badawi had done this knowing that the community at large held great respect for Hazrat Sahib (RA) and that through his good offices, the participation of the majority of six to seven hundred Sunni Mosques in the United Kingdom would be guaranteed. In the usual customary manner Hazrat Sahib (RA) gave unconditional support to any good cause, or any good idea for the betterment of the Muslim community. It was his tireless efforts that ensured the on mass participations of Imams, and Mosques committee members, of over four hundred and fifty organizations in the United Kingdom. At the convention in Ealing in London Hazrat Sahib (RA) assured the participants that an organization of the Imam and Mosque Council would be in the long term interests of the Muslim community. Every one of the participants in the usual manner said "Labaik"(we are ready) and decided to participate with the Imam and Mosque Council with enthusiasm. However when HAZRAT SAHIB (RA) realized that this organization had ulterior agenda and was the creation of a pressure group for the Libyan government in this country; the agenda was nothing to do with the Islamic movement; monies that were being presented by Doctor Sharif, the then minister of religious affair for the Libyan government was neither accounted for, nor distributed at all;consequently Hazrat Sahib (RA) resigned from the organization.

Hazrat Sahib's (RA) withdrawal from Jamiatul Ulamae Pakistan, World Islamic Mission and Imam and Mosque Council was due primarily to the direction that these organizations were taking. The side tracking which had taken place, was in Hazrat Sahib's (RA) opinion, due to the then president of Jamiatul Pakistan Maulana Shah Ahmed Nooranie, who was also the president of the World Islamic Mission. Due to the fact that these were fundamental differences of approach between these two leaders of the Sunni Muslim community, Hazrat Sahib (RA) decided to bow out of the said organizations, rather then to be the source of internal conflict. As it happens Hazrat Sahib (RA) then went on to create the International Muslims Organization who's contribution the reader will glimpse at in this book. The general sad state of affairs of the organizations Hazrat Sahib, left behind is reflective of the kind of leadership that is ready to compromise the principles of honesty, sincerity to the way of Allah and his Holy Prophet Muhammad Peace be Upon Him.
