One of the 12 Madani Activites: ‘Tafsir Halaqah’

Dear Islamic brothers, the way to express gratitude for Allah Almighty’s blessings is that we carry out acts of obedience and avoid His disobedience. This is why Dawat-e-Islami’s religious environment is a great platform; you should also become attached to it. In the religious environment of Dawat-e-Islami, encouragement is given to avoid sins, adopt pious actions and act upon the shari’ah. Similarly, a mindset is given about how we can improve our lives in accordance with the requirements of the sharia’h, and how we can prepare for Paradise.

The company of the devotees of the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in Madani qafilahs, the speeches in the Sunnah-inspired ijtimas, study circles and the post-Fajr ‘tafsir halaqah’, are all parts of this endeavour. The ‘tafsir halaqah’, after Fajr, is one of the 12 religious activities of Dawat-e-Islami. In this activity, the following are recited, on a daily basis: three verses of the noble Qur’an, with translation from Kanz-ul-Iman and tafsir (exegesis) from ‘Khaza’in-ul-Irfan’/’Nur-ul-‘Irfan’/’Sirat-ul-Jinan’; a 4-page dars from ‘Faizan-e-Sunnat’; and couplets from the Shajarah Qadiriyyah, Ridawiyyah, Diya’iyyah, ‘Attariyyah.

Through the blessings of this ‘tafsir halaqah’, the masjid is populated, there is an opportunity to listen to the recital of the noble Qur’an and glean various Madani pearls of knowledge. What can be said about the virtue of reciting, teaching, listening to, explaining and understanding the noble Qur’an!
