diseases. Therefore, how worried we become when we hear about our physical illnesses and we concentrate on finding a cure quickly, likewise we must immediately cure spiritual diseases like arrogance, since a person who suffers from this disease may also suffer from other deadly diseases like hurting Muslims, lies, backbiting, tale-telling, jealousy, etc. Let’s listen to some methods to get rid of the evil of arrogance and to adopt humbleness.

1. Associate with the Madani environment

Dear Islamic brothers! In order to adopt the habit of being humble and to adopt other good habits, associate yourselves with the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, this Madani environment has brought a great change in the lives of millions of Muslims around the world, especially the youth. Many spoilt young men have started following the right path after sincerely repenting of their sins. Those who were disobedient towards their parents have become obedient. Many disbelievers have been blessed with the light of Islam. Those who were obsessed with the attractions of European countries, are now anxious to see the sacred Ka’bah and Gumbad-e-Khazra. Those who were in misery, have now started thinking about their Hereafter. The readers of obscene booklets and love digests have started studying the books and booklets published by Maktaba-tul-Madinah. Those who were habitual of sinful journeys for the sake of entertainment, have now started to travel in the path of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ with the lovers of the Beloved Rasool with Madani Qafilahs. Those who did not offer Salah, are now not only performing Salah, but they have also started leading the Salah (as Imams of Masajid).       A large number of Islamic brothers now awaken Muslims (make Sada-e-Madinah) for Fajr Salah. Sada-e-Madinah is one of the 12 Madani activities of the Zayli Halqah, and is carried out every day. This is also a Sunnah of Sayyiduna Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ.

It has been narrated that Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen, Sayyiduna ‘Umar Farooq-e-A’zam had this blessed habit that he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ used to awaken people on the way when he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ would leave his home for Salat-ul-Fajr. Furthermore, immediately after the Fajr Azan, if he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ found anyone sleeping in the Masjid, he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ would awaken him.
