children steadfastly as per Sunnah in the face of financial problems. She not only used to offer Salah regularly and follow Sunnah strictly herself, but she رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ تَـعَالٰی عَـلَيْهَا also used to advise her children to offer Salah. Perhaps, this is her noble action which Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ liked and she departed this life in the state of Iman. Her face became very bright after her demise and the place where she passed away was full of sweet fragrance. If our Islamic sisters also learn from the blessed character of the mother of Attar and oppose Nafs and Satan, follow Shari’ah in every matter, offer Faraaid and Wajibat strictly; if they make efforts to make their children offer Salah and acquire necessary Islamic knowledge in the same way as they focus on their children’s worldly education and try to make them regular at school and tuition; then they will not only have many benefits in this world, but they will also attain many blessings in the Hereafter.

The ‘Urs of the mother of Attar is celebrated on 17 Safar-ul-Muzaffar.             If possible, travel with Madani Qafilahs for the Isal-e-Sawab of the mother    of Attar.

Sayings of Daata ‘Ali Hajwayri

Let’s listen to the Madani pearls of Daata ‘Ali Hajwayri رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه for understanding the importance of Islamic knowledge and for the persuasion to act upon it. Daata ‘Ali Hajwayri رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said:

It is not necessary for a person to know about all branches of knowledge. He must acquire at least that much knowledge which blessed Shari’ah has declared necessary.

It is necessary for a student to acquire knowledge for becoming a practicing Muslim.

Nafs may agree upon stepping on a fire, but acting upon the knowledge is far more difficult than it.

He is not an Islamic scholar who considers it sufficient to only [acquire] knowledge [without acting upon it]. Knowledge benefits by virtue of its practice. Therefore, one should never separate knowledge from practice.
