اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! By virtue of the blessing of Madani Qafilahs, a person is not only privileged to act upon Faraaid and Wajibat, Sunan and Mustahabbat, but he also gets a great treasure of knowledge in the form of Du’as, recited at the time of Wudu and Ghusl, in Salah and Siyam and at different other times. One of the advantages which a person will get by travelling with Madani Qafilahs every month is that he will be blessed with the opportunity to act upon one of the 12 Madani activities and to travel in the way of Allah. Furthermore, the feet which become dusty by travelling in the way of Allah, will not be touched by the fire of Hell. (Musnad Imam Ahmad, vol. 5 pp. 396, Hadees 15935)  Now let’s listen to a Madani parable of Madani Qafilah.

Blessed sight of A’la Hadrat in a dream

It is the summary of what an Islamic brother living in Khanewal, [a city of Punjab, Pakistan], has stated: The responsible Islamic brothers of Dawat-e-Islami had been persuading me to travel with a Madani Qafilah by making individual efforts for a long time, but I always ignored them. At last, their individual efforts paid off and I became the traveller of Madani Qafilah. Our Madani Qafilah was staying in a Masjid near a shrine of a pious saint in a village. On the last day of the Madani Qafilah, while I was sitting near the blessed shrine and reciting Salat-‘Alan-Nabi, I fell asleep. In my dream, I saw that a pious saint having luminous face was sitting; a few more luminous-faced pious saints were sitting behind him. I asked one of them: ‘Who is this pious saint?’ He replied: ‘He is the Imam of Sunnis, Imam Ahmad Raza Khan رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه.’

In this way, by virtue of the blessing of Madani Qafilah, I was privileged to behold A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه in my dream. I have also associated myself with the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami by virtue of the blessing of Madani Qafilah.
