for every Kalimah, elevate your ranks one thousand times, and erase one thousand sins. Listening to this, the women humbly asked: This is for us. What (reward) is for men? He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم replied: It is twice for men.

(Tareekh Damishq, vol. 55, pp. 75)

Dear Islamic brothers! It is a great blessing of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ that He عَزَّوَجَلَّ has made it so easy for us to earn reward, get our ranks raised and sins erased but alas, we remain negligent even after having so many opportunities. Therefore, become keen to carry out good deeds, and answer the Azan and Iqamat to earn great rewards. It is also a Madani In’aam to answer the Azan and Iqamat, as stated in Madani In’aam no. 4: ‘Today, did you respond to the Azan and Iqamah, stopping all activities, e.g. talking, walking, picking up and putting down things, talking on the phone, driving the car, etc.?’

May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ bless us with the opportunity to earn great rewards by answering the Azan and Iqamat.

اٰمِيۡن بِجَاهِ النَّبِيِّ الۡاَمِيۡن صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيۡهِ وَاٰلِه وَسَلَّم

گو یہ بندہ نکمّا ہے بیکار                اِس سے لے فضل سے ربِّ غفّار

کام وہ جس میں تیری رِضا ہے            یا خدا تجھ سے میری دُعا ہے

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! In the present era of evils, it is too easy to commit sins anywhere and مَـعَـاذَ الـلّٰـه عَـزَّوَجَـلَّ, carrying out good deeds is extremely difficult. Perhaps this is the reason that Muslims have become affected by the disease of sins and do not bother to do good deeds. Alas, we face even great hardships to commit sins but when we get the opportunity of carrying out a good deed, even the smallest one seems to be very difficult as we are overwhelmed by our Nafs and Satan.
