generation. Today, our standard of education, the state of institutes and the system of education is very pitiable. Islamic instruction is almost non-existent and with this purpose in mind, under the supervision of the movement of the devotees of the Prophet, Dawat-e-Islami, the education department has been established in order to spread the Sunnah. The main purpose of this department is to give all those people and students associated with government and private schools, colleges, universities and various educational institutes a mindset to live life according to the Sunnah. This department forms ties with teachers and students of college and university with good intentions to teach them the Sunnahs of the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and motivate them to adopt them; it initiates the work of ‘Pious Deeds’ in educational institutes and establishes Madrasa tul Madinah Baalighan in hostels, thus striving to provide Islamic and character building training to the masterminds of the future. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه to date, many students have repented from sins and become habitual of Salah and Sunnah. May Allah Almighty grant more prosperity to the education department.

He sought help from one of his friends. Both of them went, dug the grave and took the money pouch out. So, he said to his friend: ‘Move aside a bit. Let me see what state my sister is in’ When looked inside the grave, he saw that fire was blazing within. He quietly returned from there and asked his mother: ‘Did my sister possess any bad habit?’ The mother replied: ‘Your sister had the habit of secretly listening to the conversations of neighbours and used to engage in
