*It is Makruh to kiss one’s own hand after shaking hands. The Islamic brothers who have habit of kissing their own palms after shaking hands should give up this habit. (Bahar-e-Shari’at, vol. 16, pp. 115)

   *The Sunnah of shaking hands is that both the palms should be empty and touch each other; there should not be anything in the hands stopping them from touching, such as a handkerchief. (Bahar-e-Shari’at, vol. 16, pp. 98)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                                                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Du’a for sleeping

According to the schedule of the weekly Sunnah-inspiring Ijtima’ of Dawat-e-Islami, the ‘Du’a for sleeping’ will be taught. The Du’a is as follows:

اَ للّٰھُمَّ بِاسْمِکَ اَمُوْتُ وَاَحْیَا

Translation: O Allah Almighty! I die and live with your name (i.e. I sleep and wake up). (Bukhari, vol. 4, pp. 193, Hadees 6314) (Madani Panj Surah, pp. 203)

Method of collective Fikr-e-Madinah (72 Madani In’amaat)

Saying of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم: Pondering (over the Hereafter) for a moment is better than the worship of 60 years.

(Al-Jami’-us-Sagheer, pp. 365, Hadees 5897)

Let’s make ‘good intentions’ before filling in the Madani In’amaat booklet:

   ۔1To please Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, I will carry out today’s Fikr-e-Madinah (i.e. self-accountability) myself through the Madani In’amaat booklet and persuade others as well.

   ۔2I will praise (i.e. thank) Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ for the Madani In’amaat which I practised.

   ۔3I will be regret about the Madani In’amaat which I did not practise and try to act on them in the future.
