Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. Sayyiduna Ziyad Bin ‘Ubayd رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has narrated: Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has the right upon the one who is granted a blessing that he should not commit the sin of disobedience through that blessing.

(Tareekh Madinah Dimashq, vol. 19, pp. 191)

It is desirable to perform Sajdah Shukr upon receiving any favour, such as the birth of a baby, attainment of wealth, turning up of a lost thing, curing of a patient, returning of a traveller etc. Its method is exactly the same as that of Sajdah Tilawat. (Fatawa ‘Aalamgiri, vol. 1, pp. 136; Rad-dul-Muhtar, vol. 2, pp. 720)

In this context, let’s listen to the method of Sajdah Shukr and the occasions of Sajdah Shukr, mentioned on page 285 of the remarkable book ‘Namaz kay Ahkam’ [Laws of Salah] written by Shaykh-e-Tareeqat, Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه: Likewise, it is an act of Sawab to perform Sajdah Shukr on hearing any good news or getting any favour such as the confirmation of visa to Madinah, someone’s becoming prepared to travel with Dawat-e-Islami’s Madani Qafilah as a result of your successful individual efforts, beholding a practising Sunni scholar, having a blessed dream, a religious student’s passing an exam, getting rid of a calamity, the death of an enemy of Islam etc. (On all such occasions performing Sajdah Shukr is Mustahab.)

May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ grant us the privilege to celebrate our happiness within the boundaries of the Islamic Shari’ah.

Dear Islamic brothers!  Leading our lives by following the blessed lifestyle of these blessed people not only brings about plenty of blessings in this world and in the Hereafter as well, but the spiritual connection gives us benefit at the end of our lives. Shaykh-e-Tareeqat, Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه has stated in his booklet, ‘Waswasay aur Un ka Ilaj’ [Satanic Whispers and
