term used in the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami. It implies ‘awakening the Muslims for Salat-ul-Fajr’ which is an act of great reward. Blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی عَـنْـهُم used to do it. It is narrated that Sayyiduna ‘Umar Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ would offer Salah at night. Near the end of the night, he would wake up his family members, saying: ‘As-Salah’. (Summarized from: Mishkat-ul-Masabih, Kitab-us-Salah, Hadees 1240)

Site acquired for Faizan-e-Madinah

An Islamic brother stated: We reached a city along with a Madani Qafilah of Dawat-e-Islami. After the Fajr Azan, we went out of the Masjid to do Sada-e-Madinah. A young man came out of his home and joined us. He also performed congregational Fajr Salah in Masjid. Later on, his father who was a wealthy person came and met the Islamic brothers of the Madani Qafilah. He said, ‘By the blessing of Sada-e-Madinah, my disobedient son has started offering Salah five times.’ اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! The father of the young man was extremely impressed; and he donated a site to Dawat-e-Islami in that city for the construction of the Madani Markaz Faizan-e-Madinah.

Dear Islamic brothers! Let’s now listen to the literal meaning and Shar’i definition of Taqwa [i.e. piety] along with its kinds. Let’s also intend that       by the blessing of listening to it, we will refrain from sins and adopt piety,      اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ.
