the fear of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ in the core of my heart. I repented of all my previous sins and embraced the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami.

My entire family had been westernized. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ As a result of my individual efforts, five of my brothers also became devotees of Dawat-e-Islami and they all crowned their heads with the green turban and gradually the environment of our households reformed into a completely Madani environment. At the time of writing these lines I am serving the Sunnah in   the capacity of a Nigran of a Halqah Mushawarat. I love to travel with the Sunnah-Inspiring Madani Qafilahs and اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, I travel regularly with the 3-day Madani Qafilah every month.

Dear Islamic brothers! In the present era, Muslims around the globe have become greedy for worldly benefits. Everyone is trying to surpass the other in the matters of this worldly life. On seeing someone’s beautiful mansion, we have a desire to construct the same. If we see someone wearing beautiful clothing made of good quality, we have the desire to wear one. We desire to have a new luxury car on seeing someone else having it. If someone is successful in his business, we get motivated by greed.

Suddenly, the Azan was heard!

Once A’la Hadrat, Imam Ahmad Raza Khan رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه went for sightseeing at a certain place when he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه visited Jabalpur. At the time of Maghrib Salah, Musalla and mats were spread on the sand to offer Salah. Maulana Mufti ‘Abdul Baaqi Burhan-ul-Haq Jabalpoori رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه, the host and Khalifah of A’la Hadrat states that while I had just put my fingers into the ears to call out the Azan, suddenly I heard the Azan. I saw that A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه
