gambling, consuming interest or usury, engrossed in watching movies and dramas instead of working. People involved in the aforementioned activities rapidly fade away. This fact cannot remain hidden to any sensible person that such a person will be in great loss in the Hereafter as well, which may result in the horrible and frightening torment of Hell. وَالۡعِيَاذُ بِاللّٰهِ تَعَالٰي

Prevent five things in order to refrain from five things

It is stated on page 51 of the 148-page book ‘Naykiyaun ki Jaza-ayn aur Gunahaun ki Saza-ayn’, published by Maktaba-tul-Madinah, the publishing department of Dawat-e-Islami: The Blessed and Beloved Rasul صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: Prevent five things in order to refrain from five things:

1.      The nation which gives short measure [they cheat while weighing to sell something] is punished by inflation and drought of fruit.

1.      The nation which breaks promises and oaths, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ makes their enemies to rule over them.

2.      The nation which refuses to discharge Zakaah, is denied rain and had there not been cattle, not even a drop of water would have been given at all.

3.      The nation in which obscenity and immorality appears, they suffer with the spread of disease.

4.      The nation which makes a decision without [acting upon] the Quran, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ teaches them a lesson [i.e. punishes them] for this unfairness [i.e. unlawful decision] and makes them fear each other. (Qurra-tul-‘Uyun, pp. 392)

مری عادتیں ہو ں بہتر، بنوں سُنّتوں کا پیکر              مجھے مُتّقِی بنانا مدنی مدینے والے

شہا ایسا جذبہ پاؤں کہ میں خُوب سیکھ جاؤں                     تیری سُنّتیں سکھانا مدنی مدینے والے

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب      صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! Deterioration of our society has reached such a level that people formally oppose calling towards righteousness, let alone forbidding from evil! Now people are called towards evil. Alas! Neither do we grow anxious about ourselves nor about our families, nor about the improvement of the Hereafter of our neighbours. However, we should try to reform other Islamic brothers along with ourselves even make individual efforts on our neighbours too.

Dear Islamic brothers! Let us repeat our Madani aim which has been bestowed upon us by the founder of Dawat-e-Islami, Shaykh-e-Tareeqat, Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat, ‘Allamah Maulana Abu Bilal Muhammad Ilyas Attar Qadiri دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه. This Madani aim is for both Islamic brothers and sisters. Let us repeat it with a loud voice: ‘I must strive to reform myself and people of the whole world, اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ.’ In order to reform ourselves, we must act upon the Madani In’aamāt and to reform people of the entire world we must travel with Madani Qafilahs; the schedule of Madani Qafilah is as under: A 12-month Madani Qafilah, once in your lifetime; at least a 30-day Madani Qafilah in 12 months and at least a 3-day Madani Qafilah monthly. By traveling with Madani Qafilahs, you are inviting others towards
