becoming aware and informed about them. ‘Walking’ here means indulging in them slightly and ‘running’ means indulging in them greatly.’

(Mirat-ul-Manajih, vol. 7, pp. 195)

Nowadays, new Fitnahs [i.e. evils] are arising; hence, we should always keep trying to protect our faith. Furthermore, in order to protect ourselves from Fitnahs and to protect our faith, we should associate ourselves with the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami, a global non-political movement of preaching Quran and Sunnah, which is busy reforming Ummah. We should fill in the booklet of Madani In’amaat daily and should make it our routine to travel at least with a 3-day Madani Qafilah every month. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, by its virtue, we will attain the mind-set of acting upon the Sunnah, hating the sins and a yearning for protecting faith.

Make a habit of reciting specific Awraad and Wazaaif for protecting the faith and dying in the state of Iman. Let’s listen to a few Awraad and Wazaaif for the protection of faith.

Four Awraad [invocations] for dying in the state of Iman

Once, a person came to A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه and requested him to make Du’a for him for a good death in the state of Iman. A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه made Du’a for him and said:

1.         Recite the following invocation 41 times daily in the morning with Salat-‘Alan-Nabi once in the beginning and at the end: يَا حَیُّ يَا قَيُّوْمُ لَآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّآ اَنْتَ i.e. O the Ever-Living! The Self-Subsisting, the One Who sustains and protects (the entire universe with His strategy)! None is worthy of worship but You.

When going to sleep, recite Surah Al-Kafiroon daily after you have recited all your other invocations. Then, go to sleep without talking to anyone. However, you can talk if necessary, but then recite Surah Al-Kafiroon again. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, you will die in the state of Iman.
