Inspiring Ijtima’ in which an Islamic sister delivered a speech from Faizan-e-Sunnat. The speech made me tremble with Divine fear. I was further inspired by the Du’a, Salat and Salam and the sincere manner in which the Islamic sisters met me.

اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! By the blessing of attending the Sunnah-Inspiring Ijtima’, the belief that the doctrine of Ahl-us-Sunnah is truthful was bestowed upon me. I also started offering the five daily Salah and observing the fast of Ramadan. In this way, I continued to gather the blessings of the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami. By the time of the writing of this account, I am busy making efforts as responsible for a Tahseel, spreading the ‘call to righteousness’ among other Islamic sisters.

Note: If you have also experienced any blessings or Madani parable, please submit it to the Madani Bahar Maktab in the end.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب              صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic sisters! The matchless character and pleasant manners of the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم hold a lot of importance for the reformation and edification of the Ummah. The Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: ‘مِثْلُ اَصْحَابِيْ فِيْ اُمَّتِيْ كَالْمِلْحِ فِي الطَّعَامِ لَا يَصْلَحُ الطَّعَامُ اِلَّا بِالْمِلْحِ’ i.e., the example of my

companions in my Ummah is like that of salt in food; as food remains incomplete without salt. (Sharh-us-Sunnah, vol. 7, pp. 76, Hadees 3863)

As salt is less in quantity but completes the food, similarly, my companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم are less in number in my Ummah, but everyone will be reformed through them. The first carriage of the train that is attached to the engine benefits the whole train. That carriage gets pulled by the engine, and then it pulls all the other carriages. (Mirat-ul-Manajih, vol. 8, pp. 178)

The excellence and dignity of the blessed companions

While mentioning the dignity and excellence of the blessed companions        رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم on one occasion, Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah Bin Mas’ood رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ states: The one who wants to tread on the right path should follow those and tread on their path who have passed away from this world. Those who still have not faced death, there is still a risk for them that they may indulge in a Fitnah (evil) in relation to the Deen, and these people (who should be followed) are the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم of the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. They are the most superior among the entire Ummah. They are the most
