Book Name:Sadqa ke Fawaid
The Abdaal of his time, Sayyiduna Abu Ja’far bin Khattab رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه states: ‘A beggar called out at my door. I asked my wife: ‘Do you have anything?’
She replied: ‘I have 4 eggs.’
I said: ‘Give it to the beggar.’
So she gave it to him. He took the eggs and left. A short period of time had only passed when my friend sent a basket full of eggs to my home. I asked my wife: ‘How many eggs are there in total?’
She replied: ‘30.’
I then asked: ‘You gave 4 eggs to the beggar. How come we have received 30 eggs?’
She then replied: ‘30 eggs are unbroken and 10 eggs are broken. (The reason for this is that) the eggs that were given to the beggar, 3 of them were unbroken and 1 was broken. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has granted 10 in return for the each one. Unbroken in return for the unbroken ones and broken in return for the broken ones.’ (Raud-ur-Riyaheen, pp. 151)
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
Dear Islamic brothers! The passion of pious predecessors رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـه to have complete trust in Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and their sincere generosity was amazing. If we also want to increase our passion to offer Sadaqah and charity, then remain attached with the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami at all times and for those who can, do take some time out from your busy schedule to carry out Madani activities.
Due to the blessing of partaking in these Madani activities, we will refrain from sins, gather a treasure of good deeds for the Hereafter, be considered among those fortunate people who invite towards righteousness and we will also gain a good company.
All devotees of the Holy Prophet have opportunities to carry out Madani activities with ease. If we do not practically participate in Madani activities even now, then perhaps we will be deprived of many good deeds. To attain this great mission that ‘I must strive to reform myself and people of the entire world’, we must try our very best and help each other in carrying out good deeds.
Fast of Monday and benefits of acting upon Madani In’amaat
To reform ourselves, we should act upon the Madani In’amaat and to reform the people of the entire world, we should make it a habit to travel with Madani Qafilahs.
اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه ٭ Madani In’amaat is an excellent means of adopting the passion to do good deeds and refrain from bad actions.
٭Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ becomes very happy with those people who act upon Madani In’amaat and blesses them with Du’as.
٭Due to the blessing of acting upon Madani In’amaat, you gain the fear of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and love of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.
٭This great gift reminds us of our pious predecessors رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـه.
٭It is an excellent means of us following the footsteps of our pious predecessors رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـه and to ponder and reflect upon our own actions.
Madani In’aam no. 58 from these Madani In’amaat is:
Did you observe fast on Monday (or on any other day if could not on Monday) in this week? Did you eat bread made from barley at least once this week?
Dear Islamic brothers! Alongside obligatory fasts, it is a great blessing to keep Nafl fasts. Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ has persuaded in the Madani In’amaat booklet to keep Nafl fasts every Monday to instil the passion of Nafl worship. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه students of Jami’a-tul-Madinah and many other Islamic brothers, likewise, students and teachers of Jami’ah-tul-Madinah (for females) and many other Islamic sisters gain the privilege to keep the Nafl fast of Monday. Let’s listen to 2 sayings of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم with regards to the excellence of Nafl fasts:
