My Vision and Mission
I am humanist, Muslim, Pakistani and a Pakhtun. To strive for the well being of the whole humanity, to uphold the cause of Muslim Ummah and to exalt the dignity of Pakistan and Pukhtoons is my mission. There is no contradiction between their interests, provided every issue is seen with justice and fair play.
In my opinion there are ten basic values which should be honored by every individual, community, country and the whole mankind. These essential and fundamental values are:
In my opinion there are ten basic values which should be honored by every individual, community, country and the whole mankind. These essential and fundamental values are:
- Human equality and democratic culture
- Justice
- Honesty
- Merit
- Hard work and thorough struggle
- Law abiding mentality
- Wisdom and patience
- Education
- Health
- Strong and well-coordinated welfare institutions for the down trodden classes.
It is not possible for me to address the whole humanity so I address Muslim Ummah, Pakistan and Pukhtoons. In my opinion the degraded and helpless position of all the above three communities is because of the lack of the above ten fundamental values. We lagged behind in fulfilling and abiding all these values. Without honoring these values, we will not be able to survive as prestigious communities and nations.
The Muslims usually blame others for their plight, but in my view the internal factors are much more important than the external factors and once we overcome our weaknesses and shortcomings then the external world will become favorable slowly and steadily.
Development and dignity of Pakistan and the Ummah is based on the efforts to achieve these ideals and standards. It is very clear that a thorough struggle is needed in this regard. This struggle should be totally free from any kind of violence, sentimentalism and provocative rhetoric.
I always strictly follow the teachings of Quran, Sunnah, and my conscience in pondering over all the collective issues and problems facing us. In my opinion, the Muslim Ummah needs a comprehensive discussion and consensus on the following issues:

I always strictly follow the teachings of Quran, Sunnah, and my conscience in pondering over all the collective issues and problems facing us. In my opinion, the Muslim Ummah needs a comprehensive discussion and consensus on the following issues:
- Status of Women in Islamic Society
- The real instructions of Islam regarding Jihad and Qital
- The true perspective of Islamic teachings in crimes and punishment
- Islamic instructions regarding relations between Muslims and Non-Muslims
I have written a few books on these Issues e.g.:
- Jihad, Qital aur Aalam-e-Islam (Urdu)
- Islam Kya hai?(Urdu)
- Islam and Women (Urdu & English)
- Dialogue with the West (English)
- Kashmir Issue (Urdu & English)
- Ikkisween Saddi aur Pakistan (Urdu)
- Jadeed Zehan Kay Shubhat Aur Islam Ka Jawab (Urdu)
- Hudood aur Qisas wa Diyat Ordinance Ka Tanqeedi Jaiza (Urdu)
In my opinion Muslim states must proceed according to the following four important points.
This is my vision and the struggle for this purpose is the mission of my life.
- To bring democratic culture in Muslim states.
- To resolve all the disputes and conflicts through peaceful means.
- To dominate and inculcate the above mentioned ten basic collective values in their states.
- To make a serious and conscious advance in the field of science and technology.
- I have written extensively on the above issues.

yaro is doctor ki batoon pe na jaoo is ko tu sirf shuhrat chheey har qeemat par meray mutabiq tu ye kabi jumat e islami mai kabi imran kabhi nawaz shareef kay peechay baghta tory shuhrat wastay
Sir though I am from India, still I am a regular follower of your Talk shows and articles through the internet. I am highly influenced by your noble views and respect you a lot. The common man here loves his brothers and sisters on the other side of the border, but as you are already aware it’s the politicians who play their game of manipulation. I strongly vouch for what you have said in your Kashmir Issue. Struggle in any sense should not be related to any sort of violence or explosive rhetoric. I feel the 10 fundamentals which have been professed by you are the talisman to a happy and peaceful world.
Sir, its only a few handful people of your stature who can bring about a change and make this society a better place for our future generations. As an Indian, I feel India and Pakistan have so much in common that there is no place for any ill feelings in between. Our common past is much longer than our uncommon past. The society is blessed to have such a social thinker. I wish I too could make my life more meaningful like you by serving the mankind. I would love to meet you some day and seek your kind blessings.
Hope you will be fine and happy. Sir i need your clinic or hospital address.

May his soul rest in peace. Inna Lil Allah e wan Inna Ellahe Rajeoon.
His martyrdom has deprived the Ummah, in genera, and Pakistan, in particular, of a noted religious scholar and a poor-friendly doctor.

laugh out loud babe :)
yes..you are right...we are happy..i waited this news since so long . may Allah(swt) give us a courage to wipe out these hired hands and servants of MODERN GLOBAL CIVILIZATION.
oh! i forget to tell you some one miss the number 1(javed ghamdi) and killed the number 2....
I wonder till when this will continue and when these Taliban terrorists will be hanged from poles in our country. These traitors believe they can slaughter our people without serious recursions they should know they are completely wrong. The 2 murderers and their supporters who committed this shameful act must be arrested and hanged. Time has proven that for every action taken by the Taliban twice as many of them have been killed. This will happen again.
By achieving martyrdom have no doubt that Dr. Muhammad Farooq Khan has achieved a place in heaven. He loved his country and his religion and is a man that is truly to be admired.
his mission will reamin in our hearts forever and no body will ever be able to defeat his mission of peace, brotherhood and coexistence among all human beings.
these talib ba????ds should go to hell.
