Blessing of teaching religious knowledge to one’s offspring

Sayyiduna ‘Isa عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّـنَا وَ عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام passed by a grave and saw that the deceased in the grave was being punished. After a while, when he passed by the same grave again, he saw that the grave was shining from the inside, and Divine mercy was being showered upon it. He عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام became astonished and humbly asked in the blessed court of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, ‘O Allah Almighty! Tell me the secret behind the fact that why was he inflicted with the torment    first and how come he is bestowed with the blessings of Paradise now?’          Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ said, ‘O ‘Isa (عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام)! This person was being punished because he was a great sinner and evil-doer. A boy was born [to his wife] after he           died. Today, his boy was sent to a Madrasah where the teacher made him recite بِسۡـمِ اللّٰه. I felt shy to punish the person in the earth whose son is taking My name on the earth.’ (Tafseer Kabeer, vol. 1, pp. 155)

اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! One great source of teaching religious knowledge is also through the Madaris-ul-Madinah and Jami’aat-ul-Madinah of Dawat-e-Islami where thousands of Islamic brothers and sisters (students) receive Islamic education separately.

مِری آنے والی نسلیں تیرے عشق ہی میں مچلیں

انہیں نیک تم بنانا مَدَنی مدینے والے

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب    صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Sawab of making a Muslim’s heart happy

The Revered and Renowned Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: One           who instils happiness in the heart of a Mu`min, then with this happiness, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ creates an angel that remains busy worshipping and doing the Zikr of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. When that person enters his grave, that angel comes to him and asks: Don’t you recognize me? The person says: Who are you? Then the angel says: I am that happiness which you instilled into the heart of so and so; today I will provide you with company in your time of fear, and will keep you steadfast in answering the questions, and will show you the scenes of the Day
