having been associated with this Madani environment countless sinners have been able to repent of their sins and have started offering Salah and acting upon the Sunnah regularly and are living their lives as practicing Muslims of good-character. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, currently, keeping in mind the regularity of Salah and fasts and the respect and reverence for Masajid, the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami is playing a very important role in filling the Masjid. Therefore, if we also want to develop love for Masajid, have the privilege of filling them with Salah-offering people and want to correct our beliefs and deeds by Islamic knowledge, then we should have the privilege of observing Ijtima’ee I’tikaf at different venues arranged by Dawat-e-Islami as we have a great opportunity in the form of blessed Ramadan.

No one knows whether or not they will be privileged to experience blessed Ramadan again next year. The I’tikaf of the whole month of blessed Ramadan is being observed in the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami in different cities and countries, therefore, all Islamic brothers should have the privilege to attend it, otherwise they should try to observe I’tikaf at least of the last ten days. For persuasion, let me tell you a Madani parable out of the blessings of observing I’tikaf in the Madani environment. Listen to it and rejoice and make an intention to observe I’tikaf in the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami in this sacred month of Ramadan.

Faith-refreshing death of uncle Kaalu

It is stated on page 507 of the 693-page book ‘Faizan-e-Ramadan’ [Blessings of Ramadan], published by Maktaba-tul-Madinah – the publishing department of Dawat-e-Islami:

Sixty-year-old uncle Kaalu from Madina-tul-Awliya, Ahmadabad, Gujrat, India, attended the collective I’tikaf organized by Dawat-e-Islami during the last ten days of Ramadan (2004, 1425 A.H.) in Shahi Masjid, Shah Aalam, Ahmadabad. Even though he was already associated with the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami, but this was the first time that he attended the collective I’tikaf with lovers of the Beloved Rasool. He learnt a lot during the I’tikaf and started offering Salah in the first row of the Masjid enthusiastically, which is the second Madani In’aam out of 72 Madani In’amaat.
