Excellence of reciting Salat-‘Alan-Nabi

The Holiest Prophet �� has said: When a true believer recites

Salat one time upon me, Allah �� blesses him with ten virtues, forgives ten

of his sins and raises his status by ten times and this is equal to setting 10

slaves free. (Attargheeb Wattarheeb, vol. 2, pp. 322, Hadees 2574)

Dear Islamic brothers! Before listening to the Bayan, let’s make good

intentions for attaining rewards. The Beloved Prophet �� has

said, ‘مؤمن خي من عملهني�ة ال ’ The intention of a believer is better than his action.

(Al-Mu’jam-ul-Kabeer, vol. 6, pp. 185, Hadees 5942)

Two Madani pearls

� Without a good intention, no reward is granted for a good deed.

� The more righteous intentions one makes the greater reward he will attain.

Intentions of listening to the Bayan

1. Lowering my eyes, I will listen to the Bayan attentively.

2. Instead of resting against a wall etc., I will sit in Attahiyyaat position as

long as possible with the intention of showing respect for religious

knowledge.

3. I will make room for others by folding my hands and limbs and by

moving slightly.

4. If someone pushes me, I will remain patient & calm and avoid staring,

snapping, and arguing with them.

5. When I hear بيب ال

وا �

-روا ا�� ,صل

ذك ا�� ,ا

etc., I will reply loudly with ,توبوا ا1

the intention of gaining reward and encouraging others to also recite.

6. After the Bayan, I will approach other people by making Salaam, shaking

hands, and for making individual efforts upon them.

Intentions of delivering the Bayan

1. I also make the intention that I would deliver this speech (Bayan) in

order to seek the pleasure of Allah �� and for reaping the rewards.

2. I will deliver my speech (Bayan) by reading from a book of an authentic

Sunni scholar.

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: ‘Call towards the path of your Lord with

And the Beloved Rasool �� has said:

يةو ا ول غوا عن

‘Convey from me even if it is a single verse.’ (Sahih Bukhari, Hadees 4361)

4. I would follow these abovementioned commandments by calling people

towards righteousness and will forbid them from committing evil deeds.

5. Whilst reciting poetry or speaking Arabic, English, or pronouncing difficult

words, I will focus my attention on the sincerity of my heart. That is to

say, I will avoid delivering my speech with the intention to impress the

audience with my knowledge.

6. I will encourage the people to travel with Madani Qafilahs, to practice

upon the Madani In’amaat and to join the ‘Ilaqa’i Daura for Nayki ki

Da’wat’ (area visit for calling towards righteousness).

7. I will avoid laughing and prevent others from laughing as well.

8. In order to develop the habit of protecting my eyes from sins I will, as far

as possible, lower my gaze.

True and chosen believers

The remarkable publication of Maktaba-tul-Madinah ‘Hikayatayn and Nasihatayn’

contains 56 speeches, and mentions a valuable parable on page 256 which

will guide the true and chosen believers of Allah �� .

Sayyiduna Muhammad Bin Ahmad Mufeed �� ! �� said, I have heard

Sayyiduna Junayd Baghdadi �� ! �� saying: I was sleeping in the presence

of Sayyiduna Sirri Saqati �� ! �� . He woke me up and said: O Junayd! I

saw myself as if I am standing in the court of Allah �� and it was said to me:

O Sirri (Saqati)! When I created the creation, all of them claimed to be My

devoted lovers. After I created the world, then 90% of them, chose the world

and its pleasures and they turned away from Me. Then I created Jannah and

displayed it to the remaining ones. 90% of them diverted their attention

towards attaining Jannah. Then I created slightest of hardship and misfortune.

From the remaining, 90% forgot Me because of the calamities. I asked the

people who remained in the end: ‘O My Devotees! You have neither longed

after the pleasures of worldliness nor have you demanded Jannah and nor

have you detracted by the hardships and calamities. What then do you want?

They humbly responded: O Creator of the World! Our aim and mission is to

seek Your love and we will not give up despite You placing calamities upon

us. I then said: ‘I will put such difficulties upon you that even mountains

would not be able to bear them.’ Upon that, they humbly said: O our Beloved

Rab �� ! Why not! You have all Powers and Absolute Authority! You can test

any of us by putting us into troubles and misfortunes. Then it was (said): ‘O Sirri!

These are the true and chosen believers who are my beloved bondsmen’

(Hikayatayn aur Nasihatayn, pp. 256)

Dear Islamic brothers! From the above-mentioned parable it has become

obvious that the righteous people of Allah �� remain patient and express

their gratitude in all circumstances, they always remain obedient to His will,

and never utter a single word of complaint. Such people are the beloved ones

of Allah �� . We too should develop the habit of having patience upon

difficulties to seek the love of Allah �� . Let’s listen to the kind of love that

the believers have for Allah �� : It is stated in Ayah 165 of Surah Baqarah:

��

� ��

��

��

And the believers do not love anybody with love equal to the love of Allah;

[Translation of Kanz-ul-Iman](Part 1, Surah Baqarah, verse 165)

Regarding the abovementioned blessed verse, in the commentary of ‘Siraat-ul-

Jinnan’, vol. 1, page 264, Madani pearls have been mentioned in a beautiful

manner. Before we listen to them, let me first tell you a few qualities of the

commentary of Siraat-ul-Jinnan, to understand its greatness so that we could

read it individually or in a Fajr Madani Halqah to attain the blessings of this

world and the Hereafter.

1. In the commentary of Siraat-ul-Jinnan, two translations of every verse

have been included, one from Kanz-ul-Iman of A’la Hadrat ��

and the second is in simple Urdu known as Kanz-ul-Irfan which is mostly

derived from Kanz-ul-Iman.

2. In the commentary of Siraat-ul-Jinnan, reliable Islamic scholars have

derived Kalaam from old and new Quranic commentaries and books

written on other Islamic branches of knowledge, in particular, a large

number of books which were written by A’la Hadrat �� , have

been presented in a simple manner.

3. The commentary of Siraat-ul-Jinnan has been greatly influenced by the

commentaries called Khaza’in-ul-Irfan and Noor-ul-Irfan. Khaza’in-ul-

Irfan is written by a Khalifah of A’la Hadrat, Sadr-ul-Afaadil, Sayyid, Hafiz

Mufti Na’eemuddin Muradabadi � �� ! �� and Noor-ul-Irfan is

written by his caliph, Hakeem-ul-Ummah Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan

Na’eemi �� .

4. Siraat-ul-Jinnan is not too long nor too short, is it medium but

comprehensive.



6

5. As far as possible an easy method has been adopted in Siraat-ul-Jinnan

so that ordinary Islamic brothers can also gain benefit from it.

6. For the rectification of deeds, the discussion and curses of social evils

have been mentioned in Siraat-ul-Jinnan.

7. Siraat-ul-Jinnan contains motivation towards attaining the gifts of Jannah

and caution against the torments of Hell.

8. In Siraat-ul-Jinnan, factors related to internal diseases have been discussed

in great detail.

9. Siraat-ul-Jinnan also contains content to help reform ourselves and

information on how to behave well with parents, relatives, orphans,

neighbours etc.

10. In Siraat-ul-Jinnan, the beliefs and practices of the Ahl-e-sunnat have

been explained with proofs.

11. In Siraat-ul-Jinnan, according to the occasion, the life history and the

parables of the Beloved Prophet �� , the blessed companions

��% �(��) �* ��+ � ��$� �� and the blessed saints have been mentioned.

12. Siraat-ul-Jinnan contains colourful, new and fragrant Madani pearls

obtained from the verses.

It has been stated in the exegesis of Siraat-ul-Jinnan about the verse replete

with love we have just heard:

The beloved bondsmen of Allah �� love Allah �� more than all the

creatures. To live and die in the love of Allah �� becomes the aim of their

lives. All the following acts such as preferring the will of Allah �� to every

pleasure, instead of sleeping in soft beds performing Sajdah to Allah �� ,

weeping in remembrance of Allah �� , being worried for the pleasure of

Allah �� , performing Qiyaam in the long winter nights and fasting in the



7

long summer days, having love and enmity for the sake of Allah �� , giving

someone something and stopping giving something for the sake of Allah

�� , being thankful for His blessings, being patient upon distress, trust in

Allah �� in every circumstance, leaving every affair of yours to Allah �� ,

being ready all the time to act upon the commandments of Allah �� , having

no love for others, having love for the beloveds of Allah �� and hatred for

the enemies of Allah �� , having devotion to the beloveds of Allah �� , showing true devotion to the most Beloved Prophet of Allah heartily, by the

recitation of the book of Allah �� , getting close to the closest believers of

Allah �� , loving them, having their company for developing further the love

of Allah �� , respecting them considering it the reverence for Allah and

hundreds of acts other than them are such which are the evidence and

requisite for the love for Allah �� . (Tafseer Siraat-ul-Jinnan, pp. 264)

The published book of Maktaba-tul-Madinah named ‘Allah waalon ki Baatayn’

has a blessed Hadees, having heard which the sinners will be relieved and the

righteous people will be frightened. �%' �% ��012�3 �(�� . After listening to this blessed

Hadees it will be learnt as to how do those who love Allah �� spend their

sinners and frighten Siddiqeen.’ Sayyiduna Dawood �� was astonished

about it, so he humbly said: ‘Ya Rab �� what good news should I give to

sinners and tell Siddiqeen frightening thing? Allah �� said: O Dawood! Give

this good news to sinners that no sin is bigger than My forgiveness and tell

Siddiqeen the frightening thing that they should not be pleased with their

good deeds because whoever I account for My blessings, will be ruined.

O Dawood! If you want to love Me, so dispel the love of the world from the

heart because the love for Me and the world cannot gather in one heart;

O Dawood! Whoever loves Me, offers Tahajjud at night for Me while people

are sleeping; he remembers Me in loneliness, when heedless people remain

heedless of My remembrance, he thanks Me for My blessing whereas those

who forget remain heedless of Me.’

(Hilyat-ul-Awliya, vol. 8, pp. 211, Raqm 11906)

Dear Islamic brothers! The real love of Allah �� we can get if we know the

ways of getting it. The most important way to gain the love of Allah �� is

this that one should have true love for His Beloved Prophet �� !��

and obey the Beloved Prophet �� !�� in every matter. Allah ��

has made the obedience to the Beloved Prophet �� !�� a condition

for getting His Own love: Allah �� has said in verse 31 of Surah Al-e-Imran,

Part 3:

Proclaim, ‘O mankind! If you love Allah, follow me - Allah will love you and

forgive you your sins’; and Allah is Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful.

[Translation of Kanz-ul-Iman](Part 3, Surah Al-Imran, verse 31)

From this blessed verse it has been learnt that the claim of loving Allah �� can be true only when we obey the Beloved Prophet �� .Talking

about the summary of this blessed verse Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan Na’eemi

�� ! has stated: O the Prophet �� ! You tell the people that

who claim to love Me without your Wasilah or those who considering

themselves the beloved of their Rab want to be independent of you or those

who want to get close to Allah �� by other sources rather than your

obedience; make this announcement to all of them that if you want to love

Allah �� , so neither compete with me nor claim to be of my equal, nor go

ahead of me, but rather being slave follow me.

Follow me in your sayings, actions, deeds, in short, in every walk of life and

become totally absorbed in me, then things will be contrary that Rub will

make you His Beloved and whatever you will, He will do, besides this He will

forgive all of your sins because Allah �� is very forgiving and the most

merciful; you enable yourself to have His forgiveness and mercy, then get its

pleasure. (Tafseer Na’eemi, vol. 3, pp. 359 -360)

Therefore, we should also spend our day and night in compliance with the

commandments of Allah �� and His Prophet �� because it is

the demand of love that the person who is loved should be obeyed.

Dear Islamic brothers! One means of gaining the love of Allah �� is to offer

Salah regularly, to observe all the fasts of the month of Ramadan and to pay

Zakat on time. Moreover, in addition to offering Faraid and Wajibat offering

Nawafil is also a best deed. One who offers Nawafil also becomes the beloved

and favourite bondsman of Allah �� .

Abundance of Nawafil is a means of loving Allah

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah ��7%�� 8�! has narrated that the Beloved and

Blessed Prophet �� has stated, ‘Allah �� has said, ‘Whoever

causes pain to a saint, I declare war with him. A bondsman seeks closeness to

Me most through the Faraid [obligatory acts] and he continues to gain

closeness to Me by means of Nawafil [supererogatory Salah], until I start to

love him. When I make the bondsman My beloved, I become his ear through

which he hears, become his eye by which he sees, become his hand through

which he holds and become his leg through which he walks. Then if he begs

Me, I bestow upon him, and if he seeks my protection, I grant him

protection.’ (Sahih Bukhari, vol. 4, pp. 248, Hadees 6502)

Regarding the foregoing Hadees, Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan Na’eemi �� ! has stated: This line doesn’t mean that Allah �� enters the body of a saint

as fire into coal or colour or smell into flower as Allah �� is free of entering

[anything / anybody] and this belief is Kufr. It has some meanings: one of

them is that these parts of a saint’s body do not commit sins, always perform

good deeds; worship becomes easy for him, that is to say, I am making him

perform all acts of worship or it means that person then does not use these

body parts for the world, only uses for Me, sees Me in everything, hears My



11

voice in every voice, or it means that that person becomes Fanafillah

(Annihilation in Allah) , by which Divine powers work in his body parts and he

performs those deeds which are beyond comprehension.

Sitting in Kin’aan Sayyiduna Yaqoob 4�5% ��6% � ��%� �� %�� smelt the fragrance of Yousaf’s

Qamees that was on the way from Egypt; Sayyiduna Sulayman 4�5% ��6% � ��%� �� %�� heard

was heard even in Nahawand. The Beloved Prophet ��

examined the incidents until the Judgment Day through his blessed eyes. All

these are the miracles of this power. (Mirat-ul-Manajeeh, vol. 3, pp. 308)

Dear Islamic brothers! Would that we could become punctual in offering

Nawafil as well besides regularly offering Faraid! Would that we could

observe Nafli fasts such as the fast of Monday and Thursday, in addition to

Fard fasts! Would that we could happily pay our complete Zakat along with

Nafli Sadaqat such as to have your contribution in the construction of Masajid

and Madaris, to help poor siblings and relatives financially, to feed Muslims,

to spend money to spread the call towards righteousness, etc.!

Would that we could have the privilege of performing Nafl Haj and ‘Umrah

along with the Fard Haj!

Would that we could offer Nafl Salah such as Tahajjud, Ishraaq, Chasht,

Awwabin etc., along with Fard Salahs!

Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat �,��#% �- �. % �/ �+% ��% �$% � � ��% ��% � �% � �% �� persuades Islamic brothers to offer

Nawafil in 72 Madani In’amaat, for example, in Madani In’aam no. 16 ‘Salat

In’aam no. 19, ‘Tahajjud Salah, Ishraaq, Chasht and Awwabin’, in Madani

In’aam no. 20, ‘Tahiyyat-ul Wudu and Tahiyyat-ul-Masjid’.

those who buy Madani In’amaat booklet regularly, observe Fikr-e-Madinah

Being Patient with troubles a means of Love for Allah ��

Dear Islamic brothers! Similarly, another way of loving Allah �� is to remain

patient instead of making complaints on the difficulties and troubles from

Him. Anyhow, one should remain patient as Allah �� likes those who

remain patient. It is stated in Ayah no: 146 of Surah Al-e-Imran:

� � �3 �V\ab]

and the steadfast are the beloved of Allah

[Translation of Kanz-ul-Iman](Part 3, Surah Al-e-Imran, verse 146)

Therefore if we also get into the habit of being patient, so �%' �% ��012�3 �(�� , by

the blessing of it we will have the true love of Allah �� in our heart.

Sayyiduna Anas �� 8�!% ��7 has narrated that the Beloved Prophet

�� said, ‘Undoubtedly there is more reward on tribulations and

if Allah �� loves a nation, so He makes them suffer from a tribulation so the

one who is content with His will, for him His pleasure and the one who is

discontent for him His displeasure.’ (Ibn Majah, vol. 4, pp. 374, Raqm 4031)

No love for worldliness in heart is a means of Love for Allah �� :

Dear Islamic brothers! One more means of gaining Allah’s love is to dispel the

love of the worldliness from your heart. But regretfully, attracted by the

world and its colourfulness the relish of love for Allah �� is running out

from our hearts. If we had been sincere in love with Allah �� , our Salahs

would have never been missed, fasts of Ramadan would have never been

missed and we would have not been heedless of paying Zakat. So it has

become obvious that it is the curse of the love for the worldliness due to

which we couldn’t seek love for Allah �� . Therefore, get rid of the love of

this world as soon as possible as there is only loss in its love.

Sayyiduna Abdullah Bin Mas’ood �� 8�!% ��7 has narrated that the Beloved

Prophet �� has said: The one who is made to drink the sweet

drink of the world must have the taste of three things:

1. Such trouble that will not dispel his tiredness

2. Such greed by which he will not be rich

3. Such a desire which he will not be able to satisfy, because this world is

one that demands and that is demanded, therefore whoever asks for

this world, the hereafter will search him until he dies. When he dies, it

will seize him. Whoever asks for the Hereafter, the world will keep on

searching him until he achieves his full quota of sustenance from it.

(Tabarani Kabeer, vol. 10, pp. 162, Raqm 10328)

Yearning for Recitation of Quran is means of love for Allah ��

Dear Islamic brothers! Reciting the Holy Quran, pondering on it and after

understanding its meanings and sense acting upon it are the acts of reward

and a best way to seek love for Allah �� .

Sayyiduna Sahl Tustari �� ! has said: The sign of having love of Allah

�� is to have love for the Holy Quran. The sign of loving Allah �� and the

Holy Quran is to love the Beloved Prophet �� and the sign of

loving the Beloved Prophet �� is adherence to his Sunnah.

(Mukashafa-tul-Quloob, pp. 37) So we should also have true love for the Holy

Quran as the truthfulness of lover becomes obvious in three things:

1. A lover considers the things of his beloved best.

2. The gathering of his beloved is the best gathering for him.

3. The will of his beloved is most precious for him.

How did I gain yearning for recitation of glorious Quran

One very good way to gain the company of the devotees of the Prophet is to

In order to persuade you, here is a summary of an Islamic brother’s statement:

‘I would commit many sins, including fitting VCR cables to people’s homes,

roaming around with immoral friends, watching two or three movies in a

day, wasting my nights in attending concerts and live stage shows etc.

who was from Nayabad of Bab-ul-Madinah Karachi, I enrolled in a local

Madrasa-tul-Madinah (for adults). Accordingly, I gained the company of the

devotees of the Prophet and having affiliated myself with the global non-

political movement of propagating Quran and Sunnah, I became busy

carrying out Madani activities.’

Contemplation of the Divine blessings is the source of seeking Divine love

Dear Islamic brothers! Keeping remembering and recalling all the small and

great blessings and all the apparent and hidden favours and mercies of Allah

�� every moment is also an effective source of attaining the Divine love.

Undoubtedly, Allah has bestowed upon us infinite favours such as He �� made the earth a resting place, sky as a canopy which sustaining itself without

pillars, sent down blessed Prophets and Rasools ��$� �%� �%�� 4 �5 ��6 � to spread the message

of truth and righteousness. Apart from it if we ponder over our lives, we

would come to know that Allah �� has bestowed countless blessings upon

us, for example, He �� has created us, blessed us with the system of

inhaling and exhaling breathing for our survival, endowed us with the gifts of

sight and hearing, the intellect, health, wealth and family, feet, sense of

smelling, tongue and He �� has even subjected everything in the universe

for us: the sun, the moon, the heavens and the earth, and many countless

things which we have never contemplated even a slightest blessing of Allah

�� is more than the worship and prayers of many years performed by us.

Hence, it is quoted that a person from the successor-nations would have



18

worshipped 400 years and he would not have even a single sins in his book of

deeds. On the day of Judgment, there will be a Divine decree that his worship

containing 400 years to be placed on the one side of scale and just a single

blessing of eye on the other scale and it will be measured which will be

resulted in the blessing of an eye will be far more than his 400 years worship.

Dear Islamic brothers! The fortunate Muslims show kindness and affection to

one other and they gather for the pleasure of Allah �� , such as assembling

at the weekly congregation of Dawat-e-Islami, teaching and learning in the

Madras-ul-Baalighan, delivering and listening Madani Dars, becoming the

traveller of Madani Qafilah, attending Madani Halqah after Fajr Salah. In



19

short, those who gather for the pleasure of Allah �� , meet one another for

the pleasure of Allah �� and spend money on one another for the pleasure

of Allah, they attain true devotion towards Allah �� . Hence, it is stated on

page 577 volume: 03 ‘Bahar-e-Shari’at’: My love is obligatory for those who

love one another, meet one another, and spend money for one another for

the sake Me. (Al Mauta Imam Malik, Hadees 1828)

Allah’s love for his bondsman

Dear Islamic brothers! The way bondsmen have devotional love towards their

Absolute Creator and Owner, similarly, Allah �� loves his bondsmen; moreover,

Allah’s devotion towards his bondsmen could be demonstrated from many

aspects, for instance, Allah �� being pleased with his bondsmen, making

him intend to do good, praising bondsman, bestowing him with His loads of

reward, forgiving him, making him engaged in his obedience and submission

and saving him from His disobedience. (Ruh-ul-Bayan, Surah Al-Imran, Taht-al-Ayah,

148, 1/ 107) Baydavi, Baqarah, Taht-al-Ayah 164, 1/ 441, Tafseer Khaazin, Taht-al-Ayah, 1/ 243)

Privilege of learning Deen

When Allah �� loves his bondsman blesses him the true devotion towards

Deen as it is stated in the blessed Hadith that Allah �� grants worldliness to

that person whom He loves and that individual too whom He �� does not

but bestows Deen only that person who is closer and beloved to Him,

therefore, Allah �� has bestowed Deen whom He �� loved.

(Shu’ab-ul-Iman, vol. 4, pp. 395 – 396, Hadees 5524)

True believer is mentioned amongst creature

Similarly, when Allah �� loves his bondsman mentions him amongst his

creature, his righteousness and virtues become public. The Beloved and Blessed

Prophet �� has stated: When Allah loves any bondsman, He

calls Sayyiduna Gabriel ��%� �� %�� 4�5% ��6% � and says: I love so and so; you should also

love him, and then Sayyiduna Gabriel ��%� �� %�� 4�5% ��6% � begins to love him. Then he



20

makes an announcement in the heaven saying: Allah �� loves so and so and

you also love him, and then the inhabitants of the Heaven also begin to love

him and then there is conferred honour upon him on the earth; and when

Allah is angry with any bondsman He calls Sayyiduna Gabriel ��%� �� %�� 4�5% ��6% � and

says: I am angry with such and such and you also become angry with him, and

then Sayyiduna Gabriel ��%� �� %�� 4�5% ��6% � also becomes angry and then makes an

announcement amongst the inhabitants of heaven: Allah is angry with so-and

so, so you also become angry with him, and thus they also become angry

with him. Then he has nothing on earth but hatred.

(Sahih Muslim, pp. 1417, Hadees 1637)

Dear Islamic brothers! We should also cultivate the habit of performing more

and more prayers, recitation of Glorious Quran and carrying out virtues and

as a human fallibility, if we happened to commit any sin then we should seek

true forgiveness in the court of Allah �� forthwith because Allah �� likes

forgiveness seekers. As it is stated in Surah Baqarah:

��$� � � c � �3 �V �G

FE � L � �� Z �,B �� d�/ �c �� 3 �Veee]

‘Indeed Allah loves those who repent profusely, and loves those who keep clean.’

[Translation of Kanz-ul-Iman] (Part. 2, Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 222)

Sayyiduna Anas � �8�! �� 7%�� narrated: The Most Revered and Renowned

Prophet �� has stated: ‘Whoever seeks repentance is as if he

has not committed any sin and when Allah �� loves any bondsman, no sin

harms him.’ (Firdaus-ul-Akhbar lil-Daylmi, vol. 1, pp. 308, Hadees 2251)



21

Dear Islamic brothers! It is learnt that seeking forgiveness is also the most

liked action in the sight of Allah �� ; therefore, we should also keep seeking

forgiveness for our major and minor sins, especially when we go to our bed

we should ponder over all the activities and matters transpired all the day

long.

It is stated in Madani In’aam 16 (prescribed and designed by Shaykh-e-

Tareeqat, Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat, founder of Dawat-e-Islami, ‘Allamah Maulana

Abu Bilal Muhammad Ilyas Attar Qadiri Razavi Ziyaee �.%�,��# ��%�$%��%�/ �+%�- ��%� �%� �%��%� � ): ‘Today,

did you offer Salat-ul-Taubah at least once (preferably before going to bed)

and repent of the sins committed today as well as in the past? Further, in

case some sin gets committed معاذ ا��, did you repent instantly and vow never

to commit that sin again?’

Therefore, we should also seek forgiveness if carried out any virtue for

showing off others and make intention not to do so in future and cultivate

the habit of carrying out deeds with true sincerity so that we all are also

counted amongst the most liked bondsmen of Allah �� .

Dear Islamic brothers! For more information about the Divine love, go

through the chapter ‘Mahabbat-e-Ilahi’ of 692 page book ‘Mukashafa-tul

Quloob’ as it is a very beneficial; furthermore, joining the company of Allah

loving people and acting upon admonitory pieces of advice stated in their

conversation are also the signs of Divine love. Therefore, the blessed

company of righteous people and good environment is extremely important

for developing our devotion towards Allah �� , attaining the pleasure of

Allah �� , awakening the fear in the heart, developing the yearning for



22

protecting Iman, frightening own self from the torment of grave and Hell,

getting rid of the habit of committing sin, abiding by the Sunnah, kindling the

fire of love for the Beloved Prophet �� and obtaining the

neighbourhood of Beloved Rasool �� . Because the violent storm

of sins in adverse circumstances of today’s society is sweeping away

everyone. In such an evil and sinful era, the Madani environment of Dawat-e-

Islami is no less than any great blessing, therefore, we should associate

ourselves with this Madani environment. Moreover, for training of Sunnah,

travel in Madani Qafilah with the devotees of Rasool. �%' �% ��012�3 �(�� you will

seek the love for Allah �� and Sunnah of Rasool �� . May Allah

privilege us to act upon the mentioned Madani pearls.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah �� has narrated that the Beloved and

Blessed Prophet �� ! has stated, ‘Allah �� has said, ‘Whoever

has enmity towards a Wali [friend] of Mine, I declare war on him. Of all things

through which My bondman seeks nearness to Me, the Faraaid [obligatory

acts] are most beloved to Me. And he continues to gain nearness to Me by

means of Nawafil [supererogatory Salah], until I make him My beloved. If he

asks Me for anything, I will surely bestow that thing upon him, and if he seeks

refuge, I will surely grant him refuge.’ (Sahih Bukhari, vol. 4, pp. 248, Hadees 6502)

Commenting on the abovementioned Hadees, Hakeem-ul-Ummah Mufti

Ahmad Yar Khan Na’eemi �� "� �# �� has stated on page 308, volume 3 of

Mirat-ul-Manajeeh: ‘It means that a Muslim continues offering Nawafil along

with the Fard (obligatory) deeds to the extent that he becomes Allah’s beloved

because he becomes exemplary of offering both Faraaid and Nawafil. It does

not mean that a person should leave Faraaid and just offer Nawafil.’

It is stated on page 674, part 4, volume 1 of Bahar-e-Shari’at, published by

Maktaba-tul-Madinah, a publication department of Dawat-e-Islami: ‘There

are many Nawafil. One can offer as many Nawafil as he wishes except during

the time when it is not permissible to offer Salah.

The greater the hardships one suffers in this worldly life, the greater the

reward he will receive in the Afterlife.

The Holy Prophet � �� ! �� has stated, ‘Greater rewards become due

for greater hardships. When Allah �� likes some community, He makes

them suffer (calamities), then whoever remains contented (with calamities)



24

shall attain Divine pleasure, while the complaining one shall be subjected to

the displeasure (of Allah �� ).’ (Sunan Ibn Majah, pp. 374, vol. 4, Hadees 4031)

Madrasa-tul-Madinah

Countless Madaris for Hifz and Nazirah, namely Madrasa-tul-Madinah have

been established. By the time of writing of this account (i.e. Rajab 1435 AH),

more or less 2049 Madaris-ul-Madinah (for boys & girls) are operating in

Pakistan. More than 101,430 boys and girls are being taught Hifz and Nazirah

in these Madaris free of charge.

Madrasa-tul-Madinah (for adults)

�%' � �% �;% �9 �:%� � � �� ! Under the supervision of the global & non-political movement of

Quran & Sunnah, Dawat-e-Islami, thousands of Madaris-ul-Madinah (for

adults) are operated daily usually after Salat-ul-‘Isha in different Masajid etc.

where adults learn Quran & Du’as with their correct pronunciations of the Arabic

alphabets, including the correct method of offering Salah and several other

Sunan free of charge.

Dear Islamic brothers! In conclusion, I take this opportunity to mention the

excellence of a Sunnah as well as some Sunan and manners. The Prophet of

Rahmah, the Intercessor of the Ummah �� has said, ‘Whoever

loves my Sunnah, loves me, and whoever loves me will be with me in Jannah.’

(Ibn ‘Asakir, vol. 9, pp. 343)

بنانا اپنا تم مجھے پڑوسی میں جنت آقا بنے مدینہ کا سنت تری سینہ

9 Madani pearls regarding the ‘Imamah [Sunnah turban]

Two sayings of the Beloved Prophet �� :

1. 2 Rak’aat of Salah performed whilst wearing an ‘Imamah is better than

offering 70 Rak’aat without wearing one. (Al-Firdaus Bima Saur-ul-Khattab, vol.

2, pp. 265, Hadees 3233)



25

2. Offering Salah whilst wearing an ‘Imamah is equivalent to 10,000

virtues.’ (Al-Firdaus Bima Saur-ul-Khattab, vol. 2, pp. 406, Hadees 3805)

3. Bind the ‘Imamah whilst standing, facing the Qiblah. (Kashf-ul-Iltibas Fis-

Tihbab-il-Libas lish-Shaykh ‘Abdul Haq Dihlvi, pp. 38)

4. The Sunnah of the ‘Imamah is that it should not be shorter than 2½

yards in length, nor should it be longer than 6 yards, and it should be

bound in a dome-like fashion. (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 22, pp. 186)

5. If you have a large kerchief with which you can produce enough folds to

cover the whole head, then it will be considered as an ‘Imamah.

6. It is Makruh to bind a small kerchief with which one can only produce

one or two folds. (Fatawa Razawiyyah – referenced, vol. 7, pp. 299)

7. It is more appropriate to wrap the first fold of the ‘Imamah towards the

right side of the head. (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 22, pp. 199)

8. If Imamah is to be taken off out of some need and there is an intention

of binding it again, then one sin will be erased on unwinding each fold. (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 6, pp. 214)

9. The length of the Shimla of the ‘Imamah should be at least the width of

four fingers, and at most up to the middle of the back, i.e. approximately

the length of one arm.

To learn various Sunan, obtain the following books, Bahar-e-Shari’at

part 16 comprising of 312 pages and Sunnatayn aur Adaab, comprising of 120

pages, both published by Maktaba-tul-Madinah, the publishing department

of Dawat-e-Islami. One of the best ways to learn Sunan is to travel in the

Madani Qafilahs of Dawat-e-Islami with the lovers of the Beloved Prophet
