Thus, when I heard about the blessings of the Madani Qafilah, I began to see glimmers of hope. So I immediately made an intention to not only travel in the Madani Qafilah but also gathered money for the expenses. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه, the blessings of this were made apparent at once; my sister’s condition began to improve day by day, and with the grace and mercy of Allah Almighty, in a short time, she was granted relief from this 6-year long ailment (eczema).

May the mercy of Allah Almighty be upon the Ameer of Ahl al-Sunnah, and may we be forgiven without accountability for his sake.

Sunnahs and etiquette of travelling

Dear Islamic brothers! Let us listen to the Sunnah and etiquette of travelling from page 21 of the Ameer of Ahl al-Sunnah’s booklet, ‘Abu Jahl ki Maut’:

*   If you need to travel, then it is best to do so on Monday, Thursday or Saturday. (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 23, p. 400, summarised)

*   The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم advised Sayyiduna Jubayr Bin Mut’im رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ to recite the following litany before he set off for a journey, so that he remains the most prosperous from among his companions: (1) Surah Kafiroon (2) Surah Nasr (3) Surah Ikhlas (4) Surah Falaq (5) Surah Naas. Every Surah should be recited once, ‘بِسْمِ اللہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْم’ should be recited before each one and ‘بِسْمِ اللہ’ should also be recited at the end. (Like this, there will be 5 Surahs and ‘بِسْمِ اللہ’ will be recited 6 times). Sayyiduna Jubayr Bin Mut’im رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ states, ‘I was wealthy, however, whenever I would travel, I would become the worst off (from among my companions); but ever since I started to recite these Surahs before travelling, through their blessings, I remain prosperous and wealthy until I return.’ (Abu Ya’la, vol. 6, p. 265, Hadith 7382)
