A worldwide distribution channel has been established for the delivery of these lecture which has gaind an international popularity and recognition.

Mohammad Shaikh uses an intellectual and a unique approach to produce lectures. The approach involves a compilation of relevant ayats / signs for a particular topic from various chapters / surahs of Al-Quran, and by making sure the sequence and harmony of the relevant signs/ayats are intact and able to clarify the essence of the subject, this further requires ongoing brainstorming sessions and Allah's help.

This unique vision matured into different topics and series of “what Al-Quran says about…” lectures has been evolved, inviting listeners - Muslims and non Muslims alike. The lectures are delivered in English and Urdu languages and conducted in open forums with confidence and conviction. With a view to benefit the general public and in the interest of the educated masses of the world. These lectures are available for everyone.
