act upon the sunnah. In order to learn more about the sacred life of the Prophet  صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم , you can read Seerat-i-Rasul-i-Arabi, a book published by Maktabat al-Madinah. By doing so, not only will your knowledge increase, your love for the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم will further blossom, and an enthusiasm to act upon his sunnah will be kindled within your heart.

Dawat-e-Islami’s Area Visits

Dear Islamic brothers, in order to light a lantern of love for the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in your heart, affiliate yourself with the religious environment of Dawat-e-Islami, which has 12 specified fields of work you may actively involve yourself in. By taking part, you can help spread the message of Islam far and wide, and you will see many blessings manifest around you with your own very eyes اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه.

One of these 12 fields of work is known as the Area Visit. There are countless benefits of this religious work. For example, masjids become populated as a result, Islamic work and activities spread throughout a respective society or neighbourhood, people draw close to Islam, others begin to offer salah if they were not doing so previously, and an opportunity to invite towards righteousness presents itself. Further, those who involve themselves in this work receive their share in the du’a of Amir Ahl al-Sunnah  دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ . It is a great honour to invite others towards the sunnah and offering salah, which this work allows us to do.

Sayyiduna ibn ‘Abbas رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ narrates that the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, “Your inviting towards virtue and forbidding of evil is charity, your seating of the weak upon your ride is charity, your removal of dirt from a path is charity, and every step of yours towards salah is charity.”^[1]
