Dear Islamic brothers! Did you hear the devotion of Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ towards the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, that when he رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ would see the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم happy, he رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ would become happy himself, and when signs of grief would appear on the Beloved Prophet’s face, he رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ would also become sad. When he رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ would see thin bread, he رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ would begin to weep, for the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم never saw it with his own eyes, and when a roasted goat would be presented, he رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ would refuse to eat it whilst saying, ‘My Beloved صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم never filled his stomach with barley bread.’

This was the prophetic devotion of Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ, and then there is us who make loud claims of possessing devotion for the Prophet, but when the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم states, ‘The coolness of my eyes is in Salah,’ we do not offer Salah; the Blessed Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم commands us to grow a beard, but we shave our beards; the Noble Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم says to us ‘عَلَیْکُمْ بِسُنَّتِی,’ thereby encouraging us to adopt the Sunnah, yet we leave the Sunnah, then how sincere is our claim to prophetic devotion? If we desire to become true devotees of the Prophet, then we should observe Salah and fasting, and act upon the Sunnahs of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.

For this purpose, join the religious environment of Dawat-e-Islami, travel in the Madani Qafilahs with the devotees of the Prophet, and fill in the Pious Deeds booklet and hand it in to the relevant responsible brother. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه, the religious environment of Dawat-e-Islami will make us habitual in offering Salah and acting upon the Sunnah.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                                                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
