عطا ہو خوفِ خدا خدارا، دو اُلفتِ مُصطَفٰے خدارا

کروں عمل سُنَّتوں پہ ہر دم، امامِ اعظم ابو حنیفہ

Our days and nights!

Dear Islamic brothers! Have you noticed that due to the fear of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, our Imam-e-A’zam Abu Hanifah رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه wept the whole night reciting only one blessed verse and was so engrossed in pondering over the Hereafter, that he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه did not even realize that the night had passed. On the other hand, we spend the day performing deeds of disobedience and displeasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, and our nights committing sins by watching movies and dramas with friends, filling our eyes with Haraam, disturbing the sleep of others the whole night in weddings and other types of ceremonies, we waste the whole night in useless and shameful talks due to night call packages offered by mobile services. Each one of us should ask, from the bottom of our hearts that if we have ever spent the whole night in worshipping like our pious predecessors رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی. Have we ever had a yearning for the recitation of the Holy Quran in our hearts? Have we ever imagined the darkness of the grave in the darkness of the night? Have we ever wept a single tear due to the fear of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ by pondering over the horrors of the grave and the Day of Judgement?

If the answer is ‘No’, then from today make the firm intention to perform all these acts immediately and associate yourselves with the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, by virtue of their blessings not only will the mind-set of offering the Faraaid regularly be developed, but the mind-set of performing Nafl acts of worship will also be developed. Try your best to carry out the 12 Madani activities of the Zayli Halqah as well. If we practice upon the Madani activities daily, then besides other blessings, we will also have the privilege of describing or listening to the recitation of the Holy Quran with its translation and commentary.
