But Allah had different plans for him.
Diversion towards Islam
During his days in Government College Lahore one of his hostel fellows insisted to take him to tableeghi jamat which is religious gathering to preach Islam, at first Molana Tariq Jameel was irritated by that fellow but he insisted to take him. At first he went to 3 days session of jamat and was deeply influenced by the beauty of our religion Islam and behavior of fellow Muslims, this made him continue going to tableeghi jamat.
After his fourth month of being in tableeghi jamat, he decided something that would change his life forever. Molana decided to quit studies and become an Alim E Deen at Raiwind Madrasah. His father did not approve of this and got very angry. His parents thought of this as a stupid idea as they wanted him to become something that they can be proud of, they did not wanted him to become a “Mullah”, as he would not of any good for them or their society. But Molana Tariq Jameel had made up his mind and he wanted to learn about his religion rather than medical sciences.
