Pious Deed 29

Dear Islamic brothers! In order to avoid the desires of your nafs and become punctual in acting upon the sunnah, affiliate yourself with Dawat-e-Islami’s Islamic environment and take part in its 12 Islamic activities.

Kindly act upon the Pious Deeds booklet, gifted to us by the Amir of Ahl al-Sunnah دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ. From amongst the 72 pious deeds listed in this booklet, number 29 is: “Today, have you eaten according to the sunnah and recited the supplication to be mentioned before and after eating?” By acting upon this pious deed, not only will you eat according to the sunnah, but you will also eat less and therefore be more successful in avoiding the desires of your nafs.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

1.   اِنَّمَا الاَعْمَالُ بِالنِّیَّات – “The reward of actions are based on intentions.”^[1]
