The 12^th [Rabi’-ul-Awwal]

Dear Islamic brothers! Tonight is the blessed night of 12^th Rabi’-ul-Awwal; for this very reason, we like the number ‘12’. In his Na’tiyah collection, Wasail-e-Bakhshish, Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه has stated:

کیوں بارہویں پہ ہے سبھی کو پیار آگیا     آیا اسی دن احمدِ مختار آگیا

گھر آمنہ کے سیّدِ ابرار آگیا      خوشیاں مناؤ غمزدو غمخوار آگیا

برسِیں گھٹائیں رحمتوں کی جُھوم جُھوم کر      رحمت سراپا جب مِرا سردار آگیا

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب              صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Due to this beautiful Nisbat of 12^th of Rabi’-ul-Awwal, make an intention to attend at least 12 weekly Sunnah-inspiring Ijtima’aat of Dawat-e-Islami from beginning to end i.e. including recitation of the Glorious Quran, Na’at, Bayan, Zikr, Du’a, I’tikaf at night, Madani Halqah after Fajr Salah, till Ishraq and Chasht [i.e. Nawafil offered in the morning]. Also make an intention that by making individual efforts, you will make two Islamic brothers attend the Ijtima’ with you. With this intention, raise your hands and say aloud اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ. Moreover, make an intention to attend 12 weekly Madani Muzakarahs.

Dear Islamic brothers! Travel with a Madani Qafilah in the month of Rabi’-ul-Awwal, rejoicing at the blessed birth of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and if possible, have the privilege of travelling with a 3-day Madani Qafilah of Dawat-e-Islami, soon after this Ijtima’.

Dear Islamic brothers! You should also associate yourselves with the beautiful Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami. In the company of devotees of Rasool, during this sacred night, make good intentions to perform righteous deeds. Make intentions to gain knowledge of Fard ‘Uloom, carry out Fikr-e-Madinah through Madani In’amaat daily and travel with a Madani Qafilah.
