receives its blessings in abundance. Therefore, if we also wish to attain these blessings, we should spread Salam far-and-wide, and in order to develop this mindset, we should attach ourselves to the religious environment of Dawat-e-Islami and spread the blessings of Salam.

اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه! Dawat-e-Islami is busy in serving the religion throughout the entire world via more than 80 departments, and one of these departments is known as the HR Department. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه, there are hundreds of thousands of Islamic brothers and sisters who are associated with the religious environment of Dawat-e-Islami and are busy serving the religion solely to gain the pleasure of Allah Almighty, voluntarily. However, Dawat-e-Islami is a very large organisation, and some of its departments are in need of employees, for example, Jami’ah-tul-Madinah, Madrassa-tul-Madinah, Madani Marakiz, Madani Channel, etc. Thus, this department has been established in order to look at the work, skills and necessity of these employees, and to resolve all of their issues in accordance to the Shari’ah. May Allah Almighty grant more success to this department.
