Participate in 12 Madani activities

In order to gain further religious knowledge and act upon Sunnahs and to spread the call towards righteousness all over the world, participate in twelve Madani activities of Dawat-e-Islami. One of them is ‘Weekly Ijtima’ as well. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, the weekly Ijtima’ held by Dawat-e-Islami is adorned with the flowers of recitation of the Holy Quran, Na’at, Sunnah-inspiring speeches, highly emotive and tear-jerking Du’as, Zikr and Salat-‘Alan-Nabi, Madani pearls of Salat and Salaam and Islamic knowledge. Undoubtedly, to attend such Ijtima’aat is a means of getting plenty of reward and blessings. The weekly Sunnah-inspiring Ijtima’ begins after Salat-ul-Maghrib with the recitation of Surah Al-Mulk; blessed Na’at is recited after the recitation of the Holy Quran, then Sunnah-inspiring speech is delivered. Zikr of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ is also done in the weekly Sunnah-inspiring Ijtima’.

After Zikr, Du’a is also made, nobody knows as to how many people’s Du’as are answered and how many malefactors become people of good-character. Let me relate a Madani parable to you.

I was very famous for singing children songs by beating a lunch box and parodying Qawwals in my entire family. My favorite hobby was to make people laugh by cracking a joke, reciting film Ghazals, singing songs, dancing in a very awkward manner and by many other means.

It was my school days. An Islamic brother wearing ‘Imamah used to come to meet my brother quite often. One day my elder brother introduced me to him so he invited me to attend the weekly Sunnah-inspiring Ijtima’ of Dawat-e-Islami, a non-political movement of preaching Quran and Sunnah. At his invitation, I attended Sunnah-inspiring Ijtima’ on Thursday and liked it very much. I then started attending the Ijtima’ regularly and also invited my class fellows who also came. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, I started offering Salah regularly and with
