Shaykh-e-Tareeqat, Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه mentions on page no. 169 of his remarkable book ‘Namaz kay Ahkam’ [Laws of Salah]: It is Mustahab [preferable] to perform Sajdah-e-Shukr on getting any favour such as birth of a baby, attainment of wealth, turning up of a lost thing, curing of       a patient, returning of a traveller and the like. Its method is exactly the same as that of Sajdah-e-Tilawat. (Fatawa Hindiyyah, vol. 1, pp. 136, Rad-dul-Muhtar, vol. 2, pp. 720)

Similarly, it is an act of reward to perform Sajdah of gratitude upon receiving a good news or blessing. For example, one gets the visa of Madinah Munawwarah, one becomes successful in performing individual efforts on someone and he agrees to travel with the Sunnah-learning Madani Qafilah of Dawat-e-Islami, one beholds a Sunni [practicing] scholar, one has a blessed dream, an Islamic student succeeds in an exam or a calamity is removed or any enemy of Islam dies etc. (It is Mustahab [preferable] to perform the Sajdah of gratitude on all such occasions).

May Allah Almighty enable us to celebrate happy occasions within the boundaries of Shari’ah!

Imam Raazi and Shaytan

Dear Islamic brothers! Spending life while following in the footsteps of the righteous predecessors is not only a means of attaining numerous virtues in this world and Hereafter but being associated to them is also beneficial for     us at the time of our death. As Shaykh-e-Tareeqat, Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat  دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه states on page no. 13 of his booklet ‘Satanic Whispers and Cures for Them’ that when the dying moments of (Sayyiduna) Imam Fakhruddin Raazi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه arrived, Satan appeared. Satan tries very hard to make the dying person lose his faith because he knows that the dying person will never regain faith if he deviates from it at this time. Therefore, Satan asked Sayyiduna Imam Fakhruddin Raazi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه, ‘You spent your entire life in
