Born in Mian Channu, Khanewal on 1st of October, 1953, Tariq Jameel is a world-famous religious scholar, public speaker, and preacher from Pakistan.
He was ranked No 40 on the list of the ‘World’s 500 Most Influential Muslims’, which describes him as a “prominent Deobandi scholar who is also one of the most popular preachers in Pakistan”.
Tariq Jameel has been an inspiration to many, including famous singers and cricketers among other celebrities. The likes of Saeed Anwar, Mohammad Yousuf – who was previously a Christian – Inzamam-ul-Haq, Saqlain Mushtaq, Saleem Malik and Mushtaq Ahmed are some of the famous sports personalities who have had a spiritual revival, all thanks to Maulana Tariq Jameel. Late Junaid Jamshed, the star of 90s, went through his spiritual revival by the help of Tariq Jameel. Actress Veena Malik also sought her spiritual revival with the help of Maulana.
Prime Minister Imran Khan is also greatly influenced by Maulana, enough that he had decided to change the name of his 2014 protest from “Tsunami March” to “Azadi March” on Jameel’s request.
The soft-spoken preacher, who is widely respected among all segments of society, also enjoys a huge following on social media. In 2019, his Youtube channel became the first Islamic channel in Pakistan to receive the Golden Play Button.
When a channel reaches a million subscribers, YouTube sends them a golden play button as a reward.
