Muballighah must read the Bayan at least 3 times before delivering speech.

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰہِ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ وَ الصَّلٰوۃُ وَالسَّلَامُ عَلٰی سَیِّدِ الْمُرْسَلِیْنَ ^ط

اَلصَّلٰوۃُ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَیْكَ یَا نَبِیَّ اللہ                                                                       وَعَلٰی اٰلِكَ وَ اَصْحٰبِكَ یَا نُوْرَ اللہ

نَوَيۡتُ سُنَّتَ الۡاِعۡتِكَافِ

Please note that this speech was originally written for Islamic brothers, we have done necessary changes for Islamic sisters. It may be possible that some words could have been remained unchanged! If so, Muballighah should change the wordings accordingly at the time of delivering this speech. (Majlis-e-Tarajim)

Excellence of reciting Durood

The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated:

اِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْخَمِيْسِ بَعَثَ اللهُ مَلَائِكَةً مَعَهُمْ صُحُفٌ مِّنْ فِضَّةٍ وَّاَقْلَا مٌ  مِّنْ ذَهَبٍ يَكْتُبُوْنَ  يَوْمَ الْخَمِيْسِ وَلَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ اَكْثَرَالنَّاسِ عَلَيَّ  صَلَاۃً

‘When Thursday arrives, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ sends angels who have silver papers and golden pens. They write down who recites Durood the most upon me on the day of Thursday and the night of Friday.’ (Kanz-ul-Ummal, vol. 1, pp. 250, Hadees: 2174)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic sisters! Before listening to the Bayan, let’s first of all make good intentions for attaining the Divine pleasure and earning rewards. The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, ‘نِيَّةُ الۡمُؤۡمِنِ خَيۡرٌ مِّنۡ عَمَلِهٖ’ The intention of a Muslim is better than his deed. (Al-Mu’jam-ul-Kabeer, vol. 6, pp. 185, Hadees 5942)

Important point

The more righteous intentions one makes the greater reward she will attain.

Intentions of listening to the Bayan

Note:​ The intentions mentioned below can be modified as per situation

   ۔1Lowering my eyes, I will listen to the Bayan attentively.

   ۔2Instead of resting against a wall etc., I will sit in reverential posture like that in Tashahhud as long as possible with the intention of paying respect to religious discourse.

   ۔3I will make room for other Islamic sisters by folding my hands and limbs and by moving slightly.

   ۔4If someone pushes me, I will remain patient and calm and avoid staring, snapping, and arguing with them.

   ۔5When I hear صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب, اُذۡكُرُوا اللّٰه, تُوۡبُوۡا اِلَي اللّٰه, etc., I will reply in low voice with the intention of gaining reward and encouraging others to also recite.

   ۔6After Ijtima’, I will take the lead to say Salam and shake hands and make individual effort.

   ۔7During the speech, I will avoid the unnecessary use of mobile phone.

   ۔8Neither will I record the speech, nor any kind of voice as it is not permitted.

   ۔9Whatever I listen I will act upon it and later on convey it to others. In this way, I will be privileged to propagate the call towards righteousness.

Four supplications in exchange of four dirhams

A slave went pass the gathering of Sayyiduna Mansoor Bin ‘Ammar رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ. Sayyiduna Mansoor رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ would deliver lectures to people. The slave saw that he رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ is asking for something for a needy person who was present next to him, and he was also saying that: ‘Whoever gives this person four dirhams, I will make four supplications for him.’ Listening to the blessed voice of a noble saint, the slave presented 4 Dirhams to the beggar.
