12 Madani activities

In order to gain further religious knowledge and to act upon Sunnahs and to spread the call towards righteousness all over the world, participate in the twelve Madani activities of Dawat-e-Islami. One of them is the ‘Weekly Ijtima’. 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 Du’as with weeping, Zikr and Salat-‘Alan-Nabi, Madani pearls of Salat and Salaam and Islamic knowledge. Undoubtedly, to attend such Ijtima’aat is a means of obtaining plenty of rewards 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 sinful people become people of good character. Let me relate a Madani parable to you.

Madani parable

An Islamic brother of Bab-ul-Madinah, Karachi has stated: Which sins of mine should I mention! Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ forbid, not offering Salah, playing computer games, watching obscene programmes on television every day, lying and even stealing were some of the sins I used to commit fearlessly.

Luckily, in the last ten days of Ramadan in 1421 A.H. 2000, I was blessed with the privilege of taking part in the congregational I’tikaf with some lovers of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم of Dawat-e-Islami in Jaami’ Masjid Aaminah, situated in Shakeel Garden, Aukhai complex, Bab-ul-Madinah, Karachi. After the congregational I’tikaf, I joined the Madrasa-tul-Madinah that was held on the second floor of Aaminah Masjid.

اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! I began to attend the weekly Sunnah-Inspiring Ijtima’ of Dawat-e-Islami which was held in Faizan-e-Madinah. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! As a result of my efforts, a Madani atmosphere has been created in my home. I play the cassettes of Sunnah-Inspiring speeches released by Maktaba-tul-Madinah at
