Dear Islamic brothers! Perhaps by virtue of our individual efforts, if a Muslim starts offering Salah regularly, this could become a continuous source of reward for us. Let’s listen to a Madani parable for persuasion.

I call out Sada-e-Madinah

An Islamic brother from Mathura (India) has stated: I was a fashionable young man and would often watch movies as my pastime. I was once privileged to listen to a Sunnah-Inspiring speech from a cassette titled ‘The Perils of Television’ released by Maktaba-tul-Madinah. This speech transformed my life, inspiring me to join the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami. I suffered from an appendix problem, and the doctors advised me to have an operation, I was terrified. Meanwhile, as a result of the individual efforts of a preacher of Dawat-e-Islami, I travelled with a 3-day Sunnah-Inspiring Madani Qafilah with the lovers of the Beloved Rasool, for the first time in my life. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, By the blessings of the Madani Qafilah, my sickness was cured without any operation. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, being greatly inspired by this, I now have the privileged to travel with a 3-day Madani Qafilah every month. Furthermore, I hand in my Madani In’amaat booklet every month and around Fajr time I awaken Muslims for Salat-ul-Fajr by calling out Sada-e-Madinah.

Be simple

Dear Islamic brothers! In order to become soft-hearted, one should wear simple clothing and eat simple foods. If your clothing has a patch due to being old then this is excellent since it softens the heart. Once Ameer-ul-Mu’mineen, Sayyiduna ‘Ali-ul-Murtada رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ was asked as to why he     رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ patched up his clothing, he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ replied, ‘يَخۡشَعُ الۡقَلۡبُ وَيَقۡتَدِيۡ بِهِ الۡمُؤۡمِنُ’ It keeps the heart soft and a true believer follows it (i.e. the heart of a true believer should be soft).

Excellence of simple clothing

Dear Islamic brothers! Wearing clothes that have a patch (due to being old) softens the heart of a true believer. At present, Muslims feel proud of copying
