Book Name:Teen Pasandida Sifaat
The Study Circles of reading and listening to Tafseer
Dear Islamic brothers! The religious environment of Dawat-e-Islami encourages us to refrain from sin, perform good actions and act in accordance with Shar’iah. Along with this, we are also given the mindset of trying to better our lives whilst remaining within the boundaries of Shar’iah. Our ultimate goal is to attain Paradise, but how can we work towards this? The company of devotees of the Messenger in a Madani Qafilah, the speeches of Sunnah inspired gatherings, study circles and listening to Tafsir after Fajr prayer all contribute towards this goal. The study circles of listening to Tafsir after Fajr prayer are from the 12 religious works of Dawat e Islami. On a daily basis after the Fajr, 3 verses of the Quran are recited along with translation from Kanz al-Iman. Tafseer of these verses are also read from Tafsir Khaza’in al-Irfan/ Tafsir Noor al-Irfan/Tafsir Siraat al-Jinaan. After that, 4 pages of Faizan-e-Sunnat are read followed by a recital of the Shajarah Attariyyah Qadiriyyah Razawiyyah. By the blessings of reading and listening to the Tafsir of the Quran, the Masjid remains populated after the Fajr prayer and an opportunity to listen to the Quran is received. It is the perfect occasion to gain Madani pearls of knowledge on an array of topics, to further increase our knowledge of Islam. The final Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, خَیْـرُکُمْ مَنْ تَعَلَّمَ الْـقُراٰنَ وَعَلَّمَهُ - “The best person amongst you is he who learnt the Holy Quran and taught it to others.”[1]
Participating in these study circles and acquiring blessings from listening to the Quran, its translation and Tafsir, a dars from Faizan-e-Sunnat, reciting various different litanies and the mentioning the friends of Allah is the perfect way to start the day. The study circles after Fajr are nothing but a collection of good deeds.
