*   Ala Hazrat, Imam Ahmad Raza Khan رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه writes: One should not criticise food even at home, for it is Makruh and against the Sunnah. It was the blessed habit of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم that if he liked it, he would eat it, otherwise, not, and finding faults at another person’s home hurts the feelings of Muslims, and is a sign of complete greed and rudeness.

صَلُّوْا عَلَی الْحَبیب!                                    صَلَّی اللہُ عَلٰی مُحَمَّد

Du’a for protection against the tribulation of desires

According to the schedule of the weekly Sunnah-inspired Ijtima of Da’wat-e-Islami, the ‘Du’a for protection against the tribulation of desires’ will be memorised. The Du’a is as follows:

اَللّٰھُمَّ اِنِّی اَعُوْذُ بِکَ مِنْ فِتْنَۃِ النِّسَاءِ  وَ اَعُوْذُ بِکَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ

Translation: O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the tribulation of women, and I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave.

(Faizan-e-Du’a, p. 285)

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, p. 365, Hadith 5897)

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

1.   To please Allah Almighty, 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.
