Ilyas Attar Qadiri دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ has granted us a great prescription to become pious, namely ‘72 Pious Deeds’, in the form of questions and answers. In order to become habitual in performing good deeds and to avoid sins, it is of a great benefit to act upon the 72 Pious Deeds booklet.

Taking daily account of your deeds, kindly develop the practice of filling in the Pious Deeds booklet. From amongst these 72 Pious Deeds, one of them is Pious Deed number 48, in which it is asked: ‘Today, did you supplicate for the forgiveness of your parents and Peer-o-Murshid (i.e spiritual guide), and make some Isal-e-Sawab for them? (Isal-e-Sawab can even be made after reciting Salat upon the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم only once.)’

Department Khuddam-ul-Masajid

اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه, the Madani movement of devotees of the Prophet, Dawat-e-Islami, is serving Islam in over 80 departments. From amongst them, one department is ‘Khuddam-ul-Masajid’. Under the supervision of this department, Masajid are built in the areas where there is need for them. Furthermore, the appointment of Imams, Mu`azzins, and sermonisers for these Masajid, as well as their respective salaries, also come under the responsibility of this department.

In reality, this department is a result of the love that the Ameer of Ahl- us-Sunnah دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ has for the Masajid. It is a great pain of his to enliven the Masajid. One can get an idea of the extent of this love he has for Masajid from the fact that he entitled Dawat-e-Islami as a Masajid enlivening movement. From time to time, be it in the weekly Ijtima or Madani Muzakarah, he continues to remind and encourage towards enlivening the Masajid. If only, in accordance with the beautiful mindset of the Ameer of Ahl-us-Sunnah, we become those who build Masajid and invite others towards enlivening them.
