devotion to the blessed Mawlid. Allah willing, he will not miss an opportunity to remember the Greatest Prophet صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ .

Recite a short portion of the noble Quran, then 1 or 2 NaꜤats. The Imam Sahib can deliver a 15–20-minute speech. If the Imam or another preacher cannot be arranged, there is still no difficulty. You can refer to the publications of the renowned spiritual guide and leader of Ahl al-Sunnah, Mawlānā Muhammad Ilyas ꜤAṭṭār al-Qādirī   دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ, such as "The Dawn of Blessings", or other publications by Maktaba-tul-Madinah like, “Dark-Skinned Slave”, "A Horrific Camel", "The Aged (Idol) Worshipper", "Luminous Face", "Nūr Kā Khilonā", and "Mawlid Enthusiast King". You can obtain any of these booklets or a short book containing 12 speeches  regarding  the virtues of the Merciful Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! You may also download them for free from Dawat-e-Islami's website, www.dawateislami.net! Read it yourself and deliver it as a speech.

At the end, distribute sweets and other items according to your means. If it is not possible to distribute sweets, that's fine; whatever is available is perfectly fine. It is not necessary to serve sweets or langar for celebrating Mawlid. In the sight of Allah Almighty, it is not money and grand arrangements that are accepted, but rather the sincerity of the heart. Therefore, whatever Allah Almighty has granted you, offer it to the participants of the gathering. Allah willing, the Mawlid gathering will be held, and your home will be blessed throughout the year.
