2. The second requirement of loving Sayyidunā Ali رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ 

Mufti Aḥmad Yār Khān NaꜤīmī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه states, “One of the signs of true love for Sayyidunā Ali b. Abī Ṭālib رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ is that a person emulates him in his actions and does not oppose him.”^[1]

The meaning of this is that a person adopts the actions of whomever he loves. Therefore, the one who loves Sayyidunā Ali رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ should not just merely make this claim, rather he should follow him in his conduct, character and speech too. For example, Sayyidunā Ali رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ was an exceptional scholar. Thus, we should also seek Islamic knowledge. ان شآء اللہ Enrolment will begin for JāmiꜤah al-Madīnah in Shawwāl al-Mukarram. So, enrol, study the scholar course, become a scholar, or a mufti even. Apart from this, many short courses are also conducted under Dawat-e-Islami, such as the Farḍ ꜤUlūm Course, Faizān-e-Namāz Course, Iṣlāḥ-e-AꜤmāl course; participate in these courses.

Many courses of sacred knowledge are also conducted online under Faizan Online Academy; enrol onto these. Participate in the weekly Madani Muzakarah, read the weekly booklet, study Ṣirāṭ al-Jinān, and purchase and read other books, such as Faizan-e-Sunnat and Faizan-e-Namaz. Dawat-e-Islami’s I.T. Department has produced a mobile application by the name of ‘Islamic eBook Library’. This contains almost all of Maktaba-tul-Madinah’s books. Install this application on your mobile, which will allow you to download books free of cost and read them. ان شآء اللہ You will have the opportunity to learn a lot of Islamic knowledge.

Sayyidunā Ali رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ had a firm resolve when it came to supporting the religion. Therefore, those that claim to love him should also strive to serve Islam, propagate the call to righteousness, forbid evil and maintain
