(undoubtedly) an act of great reward and something that every Muslim should definitely do.

Indeed, currently Muslims are very far and are moving further away from the teachings of Islam. People have completely forgotten the Hereafter and have been engrossed in this world. Let alone offering Sunnah and Nawafil, majority of people even miss their Fard Salahs. Masajid have been deserted, now to fill them again with people to offer Salah, if we make efforts then undoubtedly this is no less than a privilege. Therefore, try to increase Sada-e-Madinah and support Dawat-e-Islami in filling the Masajid with people to offer Salah.

(At-Tabqat-ul-Kubra, vol. 3, pp. 263)

If any of them becomes regular in offering Salah due to our individual efforts, then he will become a permanent source of reward for us. Let’s listen to a Madani parable for our persuasion.

A non-Muslim embraces Islam

An Islamic brother from Tehsil Tanda district Ambyed, Karnagar, U.P. India has stated that he was previously a non-Muslim. Once someone gifted him with Maktaba-tul-Madinah’s published booklet entitled ‘The Respect of a Muslim.’ Amazed by reading the booklet, he realized that Islam which he had always hated, gives the message of peace and harmony. The words of the booklet captured his heart, making him develop an intense liking for Islam.

One day, while he was travelling in a bus, a group of bearded and turbaned Islamic brothers boarded the same bus. He understood that they were Muslims. As he had already developed a liking for Islam, he began to look at
