Muḥammad Jurayri رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه lived in Makkah for one year. He did not sleep, rest or stretch his legs during his stay. After offering fajr salah, he performed the dhikr of Allah until ẓuhr. After ẓuhr salah, he engaged in the dhikr of Allah again until ʿaṣr. Like so, he would make dhikr all day.

Sayyidunā Abū Bakr ʿIyāsh رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه would recite Sūrah Ikhlāṣ 30,000 times on a daily basis. He would also perform 500 units of nafl salah and recite the entire Quran multiple times in one day.

Imam Abū Ḥanīfah رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه offered fajr salah with the wuḍū of ʿishā for 40 years. He would recite the entire Quran every night in two units of salah.^[1]

The pious people of Allah spent every moment performing good deeds. Matters of death, the grave and the hereafter were always in their mind. If only we could adopt the attributes of the people of taqwā. If only we are capable of preparing for our deaths. May Allah grant us the ability to do so. اٰمِیْن بِجَاہِ النَّبِیِّ الْاَمِیْن صلَّی اللہ عَلَیْہِ واٰلہٖ وسلَّم

This aims to build masjids in areas that need them, whilst also providing wages for imams and people working in other roles. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـهِ This department establishes over 600 masjids a year, which amounts to two masjids a day. This department is a product of the Amir of Ahl al-Sunnah’s love for masjids. He longs for them to be filled, the extent of which can be gauged from the fact he named Dawat-e-Islami ‘a movement for filling masjids’. During Madani Muzākarahs, he
