occurred every time he was appointed. The people who objected to his leadership were hypocrites and Bedouins. They would do so because Sayyiduna Zayd and Sayyiduna Usama bin Zayd رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا were once slaves and the Arabs would never give their slaves a position of authority. However, Islam elevated slaves and made them leaders.

[He further states:] In Islam, it is wrong to treat slaves and the free differently; every believer is equal, regardless of whether he is a slave or not. Being superior is based upon the level of piety. The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم removed this unfair distinction that people held with this action of his [of appointing Sayyiduna Usamah bin Zayd رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا as a leader].^[1]

Department of Imams of Masajid

اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه Dawat-e-Islami is currently working in over 80 departments to spread the call towards righteousness. One of these departments is “Imams of Masajid”. This department appoints Imams and the Muezzins [the ones who deliver the Azaan] to populate the Masajid. They also take care of their needs so that they can invite others towards good without the worry of financial issues. The Imams and Muezzings play a major role in populating the Masjid.

اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه, the respected Imams of Dawat-e-Islami wake others for the Fajr prayer; encourage others to pray with the congregation; deliver a short lecture from Faizan-e-Sunnat; participate in the study circles and read from the Tafseer of the Quran after Fajr and keep the Masajid full with the lovers of the Prophet who are travelling on a Madani Qafilah.
