to others for the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and gaining reward, but if we do not know how to teach it, then we should start learning it.

یہی ہے آرزو تعلیمِ قرآں عام ہو جائے

تِلاوت کرنا میرا کام صبح و شام ہو جائے

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب              صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! Listen to a Madani parable of the Madani transformation that took place in the sinful life of a devotee of Rasool who was getting the education of the Holy Quran in Madrasa-tul-Madinah [for adult]. Would that we could also be blessed with the yearning to recite the Holy Quran!

Madani parable

An Islamic brother of Bab-ul-Madinah, Karachi has stated: Which sins of mine should I mention! Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ forbid, not offering Salah, playing computer games, watching obscene programmes on television every day, lying and even stealing were some of the sins I used to commit fearlessly.

Luckily, in the last ten days of Ramadan in 1421 A.H. 2000, I was blessed with the privilege of taking part in the collective I’tikaf with some Rasool’s devotees of Dawat-e-Islami in Jami’ Masjid Aaminah, situated in Shakeel Garden, Aukhai complex, Bab-ul-Madinah, Karachi. After the collective I’tikaf, I joined the Madrasa-tul-Madinah that was held on the second floor of Aaminah Masjid.

As a result of my efforts, a Madani atmosphere has been created in my home. I play the cassettes of Sunnah-Inspiring speeches released by Maktaba-tul-Madinah at home. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! I have memorised the entire Holy Quran and I’m currently doing Dars-e-Nizami in Jami’a-tul-Madinah. I also teach in Madrasa-tul-
