In this regard, one characteristic of the founder of Dawat-e-Islami, Mawlana Ilyas Attar al-Qadiri, is his great passion for Islamic knowledge. He encourages everyone to read and acquire knowledge. He also recommends reading a specific booklet every week. These are concise and can be read in minutes.
