darkness of fashion, songs and music had prevailed in our home. Fury and peevishness had also become second nature to us.

Fortunately, a son of my paternal aunt was associated with the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami. He invited my brother to the weekly Sunnah-Inspiring Ijtima’. Making individual effort, he even started taking my brother to the Ijtima’. Having returned from the Ijtima’, my brother would tell            us what he heard during the Ijtima’, mentioning Imam Ahmad Raza Khan             رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه, thus causing me to develop a liking for the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! For the first time in 1985, I was inspired to attend ‘the special session’ of the annually-held Sunnah-Inspiring Ijtima’. During the Ijtima’ I along with other Islamic sisters listened to the speech and made heart-rending Du’a, all with the observance of Islamic veiling.

اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! By the blessing of the very same Ijtima’, I repented of my sins, developing the mindset of pondering over my afterlife. In order to remain steadfast in the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami, I started acting upon Madani In’amaat and was blessed with the privilege of performing Hajj and paying a humble visit to Madinah along with the caravan of Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه.

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

Some activities that waste time

Dear Islamic sisters! Instead of wasting the precious moments of our life in useless activities, we all should associate ourselves with the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami and carry out the deeds which bring us success in this world and the Hereafter. But regretfully, majority of Islamic sisters feel proud in wasting their time instead of being ashamed and regretting over it.
