Sada-e-Madinah — one of the 12 religious works

Dear Islamic brothers! Participate in the 12 religious works of the Zayli Halqah wholeheartedly to spread the call towards righteousness. Performing Sada-e-Madinah is one of the 12 religious works. In the religious environment of Dawat-e-Islami, awakening Muslims for the Fajr prayer is called Sada-e-Madinah. Awakening Muslims for Salat-ul-Fajr is undoubtedly an act of great reward and something that every Muslim should do.

Indeed, Muslims are currently very far and moving further away from the teachings of Islam. People have completely forgotten the Hereafter and are engrossed in matters of the world. Most people miss the obligatory prayers, let alone offering Sunnah and Nawafil. The Masajid have been deserted too. In order to populate the Masaajid, we should strive and make great efforts. Therefore, try to perform Sada-e-Madinah and support Dawat-e-Islami in filling the Masajid with people to offer Salah.

It has been narrated that Sayyiduna ‘Umar Faruq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ would awaken people as he travelled to offer the Fajr prayer even after the Azan was given. If he رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ found anybody sleeping in the Masjid, he رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ would wake them up. (At-Tabaqat-ul-Kubra, vol. 3, p. 263)

We should perform Sada-e-Madinah especially before Fajr Salah and try to take our family members, relatives and those Muslims who sit in the streets, markets etc., to the Masjid to offer the prayer. If any of them become consistent in offering Salah due to our efforts, then he will become a permanent source of reward for us. Let us listen to a Madani parable as a form of encouragement.
