disgraced! May the person, with whom his parents attain old age, but they  do not make him enter Paradise (i.e. that person does not attain Paradise       by serving his old parents.), be disgraced! (Musnad Imam Ahmad, vol. 3, pp. 61, Hadees 7455)

Dear Islamic brothers! We too should perform abundant acts of worship in the blessed month of Ramadan and perform virtuous deeds abundantly in order to accumulate the blessings and mercy of this blessed month and get the gift of forgiveness from the blessed court of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. Life is very short, therefore we should value these moments and instead of wasting the sacred moments of Ramadan in useless and bad activities we should try to spend them in reciting the Holy Quran, doing Zikr and reciting Salat-‘Alan-Nabi and in other virtuous deeds.

Attain blessings of I’tikaf

Let’s have the privilege of observing I’tikaf for the whole month of Ramadan or at least the last 10 days which is arranged under the supervision of Dawat-e-Islami, the Madani movement of devotees of Rasool, in order to increase the passion for respecting the blessed month of Ramadan, attain its abundant blessings, earn abundant virtuous deeds and protect ourselves from sins. The mother of the believers, Sayyidatuna ‘Aaishah Siddiqah            رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا has narrated that the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said:          ‘مَنِ اعۡتَكَفَ اِيۡمَانًا وَّ اِحۡتِسَابًا غُفِرَلَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنۡ ذَنۡبِهِ’ i.e. whoever observes I’tikaf with faith and the intention to get reward, all of his previous sins will be forgiven.

(Al-Jami’-us-Sagheer, pp. 516, Hadees 8480)

I’tikaf for whole month

Our Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would always worship abundantly for gaining the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would abundantly worship especially in the blessed month of Ramadan. Since Layla-tul-Qadr has been concealed in the month of Ramadan, the Noble Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم once observed the I’tikaf for the entire month in order to search for this blessed night.
