telling them off, some people pay no attention to it. Their thinking is that they will train him when he gains some understanding; this should not be the case, because if the child is not told off at this age, then those bad habits will become ingrained in his nature and it will be difficult to do away with them later on. (Madani Muzakarah, Cassette Number, p. 106; Tazkirah-e-Ameer Ahl-e-Sunnat, pp. 69-72)

Du’a for the protection of one’s house, wealth and children

According to the schedule of the weekly Sunnah-inspired Ijtima’ of Da’wat-e-Islami, ‘The Du’a for the protection of one’s house, wealth and children’ will be learnt. The Du’a is as follows:

بِسْمِ اللّٰھِ عَلٰی دِیْنِیْ وَ نَفْسِیْ وَ وَلَدِیْ وَ اَھْلِیْ وَمَالِیْ

(Jam’i-us-Sagheer, p. 382, Hadith 6140; Faizan-e-Du’a, p. 347)

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

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

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

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

1.   To 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.

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