Reading the weekly booklet

Dear Islamic brothers, reading, studying and learning are necessary habits to develop in order to acquire Islamic knowledge. Books of knowledge sharpen the intellect, as Ameer Ahl al-Sunnah دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ has said, “Reading is the soul of Islamic knowledge.” Alongside core beliefs, a mature and sane Muslim is personally obligated to learn shari matters that pertain to their respective condition.

Reading Islamic books is a way to please Allah and earn reward, as well as increase in knowledge. A person is affected by whatever they read, and as such, only books which sharpen intellect, increase knowledge, aid in personal development and boost social skills should be read. In this regard, Dawat-e-Islami has established many departments in order to spread the light of Islamic knowledge far and wide.

Seeking to strengthen the modern Muslim’s relationship with books and reading, the task of commissioning a weekly booklet for them to read was set into play. This booklet is announced during the weekly Madani Muzakarah.  اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه, countless Islamic brothers and sisters read these booklets and inform the relevant Islamic brother of their locality. In this manner, data on performance is gathered from all over the world. Ameer Ahl al-Sunnah دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ and his successor make du’a for the readers of these booklets in order to encourage and support them further. Try your best to make a habit of reading the weekly booklet yourself. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه, your Islamic knowledge will increase, and you will be included in the duas of Ameer Ahl al-Sunnah دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

As narrated in Tirmizi, Sayyiduna ‘Ali رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ once said: “Imam Hasan رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ greatly resembled the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم from head to chest, and Imam Husayn رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ greatly resembled the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم from below that area.”
