صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب    صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic sisters! Have you heard that those who appreciate their youth, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ grants them such a favour and grace that He عَزَّوَجَلَّ includes them among His beloved bondmen! Therefore, young Islamic sisters are requested that if they want to live a peaceful and comfortable life in their old age, then appreciate the blessing of youth by trying to make their Nafs attracted to worship instead of running after the mortal world. Though it is very difficult as hopes and desires are at their peak in youth, but along with our other affairs, if we follow the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and act upon the noble and virtuous life of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, then اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ there will be a Madani reformation in our lives as well.

Beloved Rasool’s passion for worship

Sayyiduna ‘Ata رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has stated: Sayyiduna Ibn ‘Umar, Sayyiduna ‘Ubayd Bin ‘Amr رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُما and I went to Umm-ul-Mu`mineen, Sayyidatuna ‘Ayesha Siddiqah رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهَا. Sayyiduna Ibn ‘Umar رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُما humbly asked: ‘Tell us something about the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم that would astonish us.’
