٭   Standing up in the reverence of any practicing scholar, pious person, Sayyid Sahib or parents is an act of reward.

A great thinker of Ummah, Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْـه has stated: Upon the arrival of pious people, both these acts, i.e. standing in reverence and welcoming them, are permissible. It is also the Sunnah        of Sahabah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُم and even Sunnat-e-Qawli of the Noblest Rasool  صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَـلَيْهِ وَاٰلِـهٖ وَسَـلَّم. (Mirat-ul-Manajih, vol. 6, pp. 370)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب            صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Du’a when kissing thumbs [in reply to Azan]

In the Madani Halqahs of Dawat-e-Islami’s Sunnah-inspiring Ijtima’ this week, the Du’a ‘at the time of kissing thumbs’ will be taught as per the schedule. The Du’a is as following:

صَلَّی اﷲُ عَلَیْکَ یَارَسُوْلَ اﷲِ

قُرَّۃُ   عَیْنِیْ   بِکَ   یَارَسُوْلَ  اﷲِ

اَللّٰھُمَّ   مَتِّعْنِیْ   بِالسَّمْعِ    وَالْبَصَرِ

Translation: May Allah’s Durood upon you Ya Rasoolallah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَـلَيْهِ وَاٰلِـهٖ وَسَـلَّم. Ya Rasoolallah! You are a solace to me. O Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Benefit me by my ability of hearing and seeing.

Dear Islamic brothers! When the Muazzin says ‘اَشْھَدُ اَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَّسُوْلُ اﷲ’ the first time, the replier should make thumb nails touch eyes and say: ‘صَلَّی اﷲُ عَلَیْکَ یا رَسُوْلَ اﷲِ’. When the Muazzin utters these words again, the replier should make thumb nails touch eyes again and say: ‘قُرَّۃُ عَیْنِیْ بِکَ یَا رَسُوْلَ اﷲِ اَللّٰھُمَّ مَتِّعْنِیْ بِالسَّمْعِ وَالْبَصَرِ’.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب            صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
