started getting removed. He repented of all of his sins and associated himself with the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami, the Madani movement of devotees of Rasool, after giving up useless and absurd activities.

Who is wise?

Dear Islamic brothers! Surely wise is he who not only acts upon the commandments of Islam himself, but he also makes his children the ones who act upon Sunnah and tells them the importance of Salah with Jama’at because Salah is the most important worship amongst all the acts of worship and it is the source of salvation and the key to Paradise. Therefore Salah should be greatly protected and be offered on time with Jama’at. It is usually observed that people offer Salah at home and avoid going to the Masjid. In this way, they get deprived of the great reward simply due to being lazy.

Remember! Jama’at is Wajib for every free, adult, capable and sane Muslim and whoever misses it even once without any reason is a sinner and deserves punishment. If someone misses it many times, he is a transgressor [his testimony is not acceptable] and he will be punished severely. If his neighbours remain silent, they will also be sinners. (Bahar-e-Shari’at, vol. 1, pp. 582)

Understand the significance of Salah with Jama’at in this way that if we get to know that the goods we have, will be sold here in our city for one rupee, but if it is sold overseas, it will be sold for 27 rupees, then perhaps everyone will prefer to go overseas to sell their goods because no one will like to miss twenty-sevenfold profit, however, it is amazing that walking a few steps towards the Masjid to offer Salah with Jama’at brings twenty-sevenfold reward, but people miss Jama’at without any Shar’i reason taking no care of it. On the contrary, the routine of blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم was that they would walk a mile to go to the Masjid to offer Salah with Jama’at.

Sayyiduna Abu Zubayr رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has said that he heard from Sayyiduna Jabir (رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ): Our homes were far away from the Masjid; we, therefore, decided to sell our homes so that we could get near the Masjid. The Beloved
