the privilege of calling out Sada-e-Madinah. It is also proved that our Beloved and Blessed Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has woken up the Muslims for Fajr Salah.

Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ who was an Ansari companion, has stated, ‘I once went for Salat-ul-Fajr with the Beloved and Blessed Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. When he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم passed by a sleeping person, he would call him for Salah or wake him up with his blessed foot.’ (Sunan Abi Dawood, vol. 2, pp. 33, Hadees 1264)

Therefore, try to settle into the routine of calling out Sada-e-Madinah every day after the Azan of Fajr Salah. Let’s listen to a faith-refreshing Madani parable, full of the blessings of calling out Sada-e-Madinah, so that we will also get motivated.

Here is a summary of a wonderful parable narrated by an Islamic brother from Maharashtra, India. He has stated: Before I associated myself with Dawat-e-Islami, I was a very big sinner. I would work the whole day but would waste my hard-earned money in drinking. I would enjoy different evils, call people names, and even upset my parents and neighbours. I was also a heavy gambler and would not offer any Salah. I was heedlessly wasting the precious moments of my life.

Luckily, I once happened to meet a responsible Islamic brother of Dawat-e-Islami. Making individual efforts, he invited me to travel with a Sunnah-inspiring Madani Qafilah. His sweet and sincere words touched my heart, and I accepted his invitation. I travelled with a 3-day Sunnah-inspiring Madani Qafilah on the spot. In the company of the devotees of Rasool, I listened to speeches from the booklets published by Maktaba-tul-Madinah, the publishing department of Dawat-e-Islami. By the blessings of the Madani Qafilah, a heavy gambler and drinker like me who did not use to offer any Salah not only started offering Salah but was also inspired to call out Sada-e-Madinah (i.e. to wake up Muslims for Salat-ul-Fajr). I also have the privilege of inviting others to travel with Madani Qafilahs. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! As a result of my individual effort, 30 Islamic brothers have so far travelled with Madani
