   Early life
   
   Maulana Tariq Jamil was born and raised in Mian Channu and is the son of a feudal agriculturist, also referred to as Lord in Pakistan. In his childhood he lived a relatively modest life but religion was not a major part of his life and his family in particular. It wasn't until he pursued his M.B.B.S. in Lahore that his focus shifted towards Islam. After completing his F.Sc in pre-medical (equivalent to A 'levels') from Government College University Lahore, he took admission in King Edward Medical College in Lahore. He intended to do his M.B.B.S., but his leanings towards spirituality soon urged him to switch to Islamic education. He then went on to receive Islamic education from Jamia Arabia, Raiwind (near Lahore), Pakistan where he studied Quran, Hadith, Sharia, Tasawwuf, logic and Fiqh.
   
   Transition towards Islam
   
   His proclivity towards Islam grew during hostel life in Lahore and can mainly be attributed to the group members of Tablighi Jam'at who he became friends with during his college life. During his stay at the King Edward Medical College in Lahore, he intensively studied Islam and soon after became a full-time student of the religion. After graduating from the medical college, he decided to devote his life to the propagation of Islam. (he never graduated from medical college, left the study in midway)
   
   He regularly delivers lectures and speeches encouraging people to follow Islamic values and principles and put them into practice in their everyday life. He emphasizes non-political, non-violent, non-sectarian Islam. He has travelled extensively for this cause and delivered thousands of lectures all over the world. To quench his thirst for knowledge, he mastered the ability to understand and fluently speak Arabic and travelled extensively to numerous Islamic countries. His charming appearance combined with a strong voice and a fine ability to deliver religious lectures soon catapulted him to fame and within a few years he became one of the most profound and inspiring preachers of Islam in the Urdu language. He now boasts hundreds of thousands of devoted followers and students of Islam in various parts of the world.
   
   Since early 1990s he has repeatedly travelled to several countries across the globe. Almost every single lecture delivered by him tends to attract a huge crowd. In fact, in February Maulana Tariq Jamil was a speaker at an event in Tongi, Bangladesh which was attended by an estimated 3,000,000 people. The event is listed on the List of largest gatherings in history.
   
   Condemnation of terrorism & the War on Terror
   
   Maulana Tariq Jamil has denounced the killing of innocent civilians and any act of terrorism and has on numerous occasions called for, on the part of all sides, an end to violence and killings taking place in various Muslim countries. He has been a fierce critic of the War on Terror and has warned that the effects of this war have been devastating for average citizens of countries such as Iraq and Afghanistan.
   
   In February 2008, an "Anti-terrorism Conference" organized by the madrassa Darul Uloom in Deoband, Uttar Pradesh, denounced all forms of terrorism, saying "Islam prohibits killing of innocent people," and "Islam sternly condemns all kinds of oppression, violence and terrorism." The conference also disapproved of widespread attempts to blame pious Muslims for terrorist acts.
   
   Rise to fame
   
   Due to his sermons and simple and modest lifestyle, Maulana Tariq Jamil commands respect from Muslims all over the world. He has a simple, eloquent and distinctive style of explaining the purpose of human life and its creation and often uses scientific examples to support his argument. He has delivered lectures to all types of communities in the society with the attendees being doctors, engineers, professors, businessmen, landlords, government officials, TV/film artists, ministers/politicians and sports celebrities. His untiring efforts brought real Islamic values in the lives of some of the greatest Pakistani cricketing legends such as Saeed Anwar, Inzamam-ul-Haq, Mohammad Yousuf, Saqlain Mushtaq, Mushtaq Ahmed, Salim Malik and Hammad Ahmed Abbassi. He has also been the main paradigm for Junaid Jamshed since his inspiring volte-face towards Islam.
   
   Tariq Jamil is the Khalifah (representative) of the late Mufti Yousuf Ludhianvi, who was martyred in Karachi on Thursday (18 May 2000) on his way back from the Fajr Salat.
   
   Travelling
   
   Maulana Tariq Jamil has travelled extensively around the globe for the propagation of Islam. He has been to numerous Muslim and non-Muslim countries in the past two decades. His first visit to the USA took place in the year 1993 whereupon he delivered a famous lecture titled "Dawt'a Tabligh". In 1998 Maulana Tariq Jamil again came to USA and travelled to numerous states to deliver sermons and meet with local Muslims. His most recent Visit to the USA was in January of 2001. He has also made multiple visit to many Western countries such as United Kingdom, South Africa, Denmark & etc.
