مجھ سے بدکار سے اس گناہ گار سے           رہنا راضی سدا میرے مُرشِد پِیا

آخری وقت ہے اور بڑا سخت ہے                 میرا ایماں بچا میرے مُرشِد پِیا

Dear Islamic brothers! In the ending of my speech, I would mention the excellence of Sunnah as well as some Sunan and manners. The Prophet of Rahmah, the Intercessor of Ummah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, ‘He who loves my Sunnah, loves me, and he who loves me will be with me in Paradise.’

(Ibn ‘Asakir, vol. 9, pp. 343)

Madani pearls pertaining to Miswak

§  On page 288 of the first volume of Bahar-e-Shari’at, published by Maktaba-tul-Madinah, the publishing department of Dawat-e-Islami, ‘Allamah Maulana Mufti Muhammad Amjad ‘Ali A’zami عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـقَـوِی has stated, ‘The reverent scholars say that whoever routinely uses the Miswak, will be blessed with the good fortune of reciting the Kalimah (fundamental article of faith) at the time of death, and whoever consumes opium will not be able to recite Kalimah at the time of death.’

§  It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn ‘Abbas رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُمَا that there are 10 qualities in the Miswak: It cleans the mouth, strengthens the gums, strengthens the eyesight, eliminates phlegm, eliminates bad smell of the mouth, it is in accordance with the Sunnah, the angels become happy, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ is pleased, it increases good deeds and rectifies the stomach. (Jam’-ul-Jawami’ lis-Suyuti, vol. 5, pp. 249, Hadis 14867)

§  Miswak should be from Zaytoon, or Neem, or similar trees/plants having bitter taste.

§  Thickness of Miswak should be equal to that of the little finger.
