and then slept in the end.’ Sayyiduna Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ said, ‘To me, offering Salat-ul-Fajr with Jama’at (congregation) is better than offering Nafl Salah the whole night.’ (Muwatta Imam Maalik, vol. 1, pp. 134, Hadees 300)

Dear Islamic brothers! We have just heard that Sayyiduna ‘Umar Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ would awaken people for Fajr Salah and he would visit the homes of those who missed their Fajr Salah to enquire why they were absent. We should also note this that during Salah timings, besides calling out Sada-e-Madinah as to which Islamic brothers of our area offer Salah with Jama’at and who miss the Jama’at. If a Salah-offering person is absent from a Salah, then either we should go to his home or phone him to enquire of him. If he is ill, we should visit him. If he was absent due to laziness, then we will present him with the call towards righteousness. All Islamic brothers should adopt this manner. This will fill our Masajid with Salah-offering Muslims. If even a single Islamic brother falls into the habit of offering Salah, then surely this will become a permanent source of rewards for us in addition to gaining the reward for calling towards righteousness, اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ.

Always associate yourself with the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami in order to become a truly practicing Muslim and to form the habit of Salah and Sunnah. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, many spoilt people of the society have entered the right path by virtue of the blessings of the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami. Listen to a Madani parable in this regard.

Madani parable

I was a fashionable youngster and would often watch movies. Fortunately, I once listened to a Sunnah-Inspiring speech 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 appendicitis, and the doctors had advised me to have an operation for its treatment. 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 lovers of the beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, for the first time    in my life.
