usually decorated with lights, a separate funds collection can be organised for this purpose. If possible, and if it does not disrupt members of the public, place a large flag on your home or masjid. Do not place a flag in the middle of the road as this will negatively impact road users. Do not create holes in footpaths to place flags either and do not place decorations in a way that will obstruct the walkway or violate the rights of people.

7.   Islamic brothers should distribute booklets and pamphlets of Maktaba-tul-Madina during the mawlid processions. Likewise, you can distribute booklets throughout the year in order to invite people towards goodness, and encourage others to do the same. This can be done during weddings, gatherings of conveying reward to the deceased and other social events. Also, read or listen to the weekly booklets as well as booking an annual subscription to the monthly magazines of Dawat-e-Islami, namely “Faizan-e-Madina”.

8.   Distribute 112 copies of the pamphlet titled “Jashn-e-Wiladat kay 12 Madani Phool” if possible, or at least 12. If possible, also distribute 12 copies of “The Dawn of Blessings,” after purchasing them from Maktaba-tul-Madina. Give this literature particularly to the heads of companies who organise lighting displays, gatherings and procession during RabīꜤ al-Awwal.

During this month, provide monetary aid to a Sunni scholar, imam of a masjid, muʾadhin, or to the masjid caretaker, and if possible, gain the blessings of doing this every month. On the occasion of a wedding, attach a booklet from Maktaba-tul-Madina to the wedding invitation. Make a habit of gifting religious literature on the day of Eid instead of handing out Eid cards, so the money you spend brings benefit to people. Stalls from Maktaba-tul-Madina can be set up on various occasions in order to distribute literature to the public, free-of-cost.
