Madani works. One of the Zayli Madani works is to attend the weekly Ijtima.’ اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ Blessings of attending Ijtima’ are in abundance; one earns rewards by attending the gathering of ‘Ilm-e-Deen.

A blessed Hadees regarding the excellence of ‘Ilm-e-Deen says: The one who walks in order to seek ‘Ilm-e-Deen, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ takes him towards Jannah and the angels lay down their wings for the pleasure of the seeker of knowledge.

Here is a Madani parable for your persuasion:

Madani parable

A summary of what an Islamic brother from Chushtian, Punjab (Pakistan) has stated is as follows: Different sins like not offering Salah, shaving the beard, upsetting the parents, etc. were a part of my life. I was crazy for music and different songs were saved in my mobile phone and computer. I would also commit the sin of misusing the internet. Except for jeans I would not wear just any type of trousers. On the occasion of Eid, my father once had a traditional suit sewn for me but I refused to wear it. I bought a shirt and jeans gratifying my carnal desires and wore them on the happy occasion of Eid. Being extremely fond of fashion, I did not even think of ever wearing Islamic clothing with a turban. Thanks to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ who created the means of my reformation. Fortunately, the newly appointed Imam of our Masjid was affiliated with the Madani environment of the global and non-political Quran and Sunnah preaching movement - Dawat-e-Islami.

One day, by making individual efforts, he persuaded me to attend the weekly Sunnah-Inspiring Ijtima’. By virtue of his individual efforts, I managed to attend the weekly Sunnah-Inspiring Ijtima a few times. One day he gifted my father with the Sunnah-Inspiring speech audio cassette ‘Murday ki Baybasi’ released by Maktaba-tul-Madinah, the publishing department of Dawat-e-Islami. By the grace of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, I was privileged a night to listen to this speech. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ By the blessings of this speech, I felt a profound impact on my heart. The sentences ‘you will be lowered into the dark grave after you die. If you have a car, it will remain parked in the garage,’ caused a Madani revolution in my heart.
