At another place it has been stated: For the believers of this Ummah the plague has been made a mercy. It is mercy from this perspective that it has the reward equal to the reward given to a martyr, though apparently it is very painful. (Tafheem-ul-Bukhari, vol. 8, pp. 800)

‘Madani In’amaat’ – One of the 12 Madani activities

سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه! May we be sacrificed on the mercy of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Allah Almighty has made the plague, which was a torment for the previous Ummahs, a mercy for this Ummah. From this it will not be difficult to judge at all that Allah Almighty deeply loves His Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and his Ummah.

Just ponder! If, due to sins, the plague had been made a torment for this Ummah, how painful and distressing it would have been. Therefore, we should protect ourselves from the acts of disobedience to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and also protect others from them, carry out many virtuous deeds and live our lives by following Sunnah. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه! By virtue of the blessings of the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami, the Madani movement of devotees of Rasool, one gains the passion for hating sins, loving virtuous deeds and practising Sunnahs. Therefore, by associating with this Madani environment, we should practically take part in 12 Madani activities and gather many good deeds for making the life of Hereafter better.

Remember! One of the 12 Madani activities is to fill out the Madani In’amaat booklet daily by doing Fikr-e-Madinah (pondering over the Hereafter) and then submit it to the responsible Islamic brother of your locality on the first of every Madani month. For the detailed information about Madani In’amaat, a daily activity out of 12 Madani activities, read the booklet named ‘Madani In’amaat’, published by Maktaba-tul-Madinah. All the responsible Islamic brothers of Dawat-e-Islami, in particular, the Nigran and members of the Majalis of Madani In’amaat must study this booklet. This booklet is not only available at the stalls of Maktaba-tul-Madinah, but it can also be read from the website of Dawat-e-Islami: www.dawateislami.net.
