ul-Mubarak in the Jami’ah fulfilling the responsibilities of collecting donations in accordance with the guidelines of the Majlis. However, my heart weeps due to those teachers and students who, without any valid excuse, show a lack of interest just due to negligence or laziness.

Special Madani pearl

It is Fard for those Islamic brothers or sisters who want to collect donations to learn the necessary Islamic rulings of donations. Even if you have read it before, I emphasise that you must read the book ‘Chanday kay baray mayn Suwal Jawab (Questions and Answers about Donations)’ consisting of 96 pages, published by Maktaba-tul-Madinah, the publishing department of Dawat-e-Islami.

O Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Those devotees of Rasool who bring happiness to my heart by making efforts to collect donations in Ramadan-ul-Mubarak and to collect the skins of sacrificed animals on Eid-ul-Adha, You (عَزَّوَجَلَّ) remain happy with them forever and for their sake, be pleased with me forever!

Those Islamic brothers and sisters (when there is no valid exemption) who fast for three months every year, and read or listen to the books ‘Return of the Shroud’ in Jumadal Ukhra, ‘the Month of My Prophet’ in Rajab-ul-Murajjab and ‘Blessings of Ramadan’ (completely) in Sha’ban-ul-Mu’azzam, O Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Bestow Your blessings upon them and upon me in this worldly life as well as in the afterlife, forgive us without any accountability, and keep us together in the neighbourhood of Your Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in Paradise.  اٰمِيۡن بِجَاهِ النَّبِيِّ الۡاَمِيۡن صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيۡهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Crying and fear

Dear Islamic brothers! Do remember that according to Shari’ah, the tears that flow for Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, for pondering over the hereafter and in the fear of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ are liked and rewarded. Whereas, crying for this world could benefit the eyes, but there will be no reward for it.

Alas! Today, we are so eager to make this life better for us. We want a good life, we want good health, we want our problems to be eradicated, we want our difficulties to be removed, we want to be rich, we want to have an expensive mobile, we want a new car; in short, we have many worldly aims for which, we try our very best to achieve; but alas! The passion to make our hereafter better is not to be seen as it should be.

   *If only we truly realise how unstable this world is; our heedlessness gets removed; we also be blessed with the blessing of the divine fear in true sense along with the hope of mercy and the fear of a bad be instilled within our hearts.

   *If only we always fear the wrath of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ; realise the difficulties of death, the situation of us being bathed, shrouded and buried, and our helplessness when we become a corpse.

   *If only we remain restless thinking about the darkness of the grave, its fear, the questions of the angels in the grave and the punishments of the grave.

   *If only we were to always remember and fear the heat of the day of judgement and the bridge of Sirat, presenting ourselves in the court of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and the disgrace of our sins being opened up to everyone.

   *If only the frightening roar of hell, it’s dreadful punishments and being deprived from the great blessings of paradise kept us restless at all times, and this fear become a means of our guidance and mercy.  اٰمِيۡن بِجَاهِ النَّبِيِّ الۡاَمِيۡن صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيۡهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Prophets’  عَـلَـيْهِمُ السَّلَام crying in the fear of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ

Dear Islamic brothers! There is no doubt in the fact that the prophets عَـلَـيْهِمُ السَّلَام are those blessed personalities that hold the highest status in the court of Allah Almighty amongst His creation. They
