money will be desperately needed to carry out the work of religion (Islam). Present conditions are not concealed from anyone. Dawat-e-Islami is a global and non-political movement, and therefore a large amount of money is required to fulfil its expenses. Dawat-e-Islami collects Madani donations for Madani activities throughout the year especially in Rajab-ul-Murajjab, Sha’ban-ul-Mu’azzam, and Ramadan-ul-Mubarak, because in these particular months people are keen to give Sadaqat and charity abundantly which makes these months important opportunities for collecting donations. Therefore, from today we should give our personal donations to Dawat-e-Islami and should also make great efforts to collect Madani donations from our relatives and the people living in our area after telling them the virtues of Sadaqah in order to develop Dawat-e-Islami’s Madani activities further for earning rewards.

On page 152, volume 23 of the book Fatawa Razawiyyah, mentioning the blessed Ahadees that contain the virtues of Sadaqat, Maulana Shah Imam Ahmad Raza Khan رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه covered these virtues in his Madani pearls:

1.         بِاِذۡنِه تَعَالٰي, They will stay safe from a terrible death. Seventy doors of terrible possible deaths will be closed.

2.         They will live long.

3.         Sustenance will increase, wealth will be in abundance and a person will continue to have them.

4.         Troubles and calamities will be removed; awful fate will go away; 70 doors of evils will be closed; 70 types of calamities will be removed.

5.         Worry will vanish and satisfaction will be attained.

6.         Help of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will be obtained.

7.         The mercy of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will become Wajib for them.

8.         Angels will send Salat upon them.

9.         Their sins will be forgiven, forgiveness will become Wajib for them.

10.      They will gain more reward than Sadaqah by serving the people who devote themselves to serving Islam.
