dealings, and preserving Sunan, whilst journeying towards Madinah. Therefore, being associated with the pure and virtuous environment of Dawat-e-Islami is a blessing for both worlds.^[1]

صَلُّوا عَلَی الْحَبِیْب!          صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلٰی مُحَمَّد

Supplication While Kissing Thumbs

According to the schedule of Dawat-e-Islami's weekly Sunnah-inspired congregation, the supplication for kissing thumbs will be memorized. That supplication is:

صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ - قُرَّةُ عَيْنِي بِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اَللّٰهُمَّ مَتِّعْنِي بِالسَّمْعِ وَالْبَصَرِ

Translation: O Messenger of Allah! May Allah Almighty send complete mercy upon you. O Messenger of Allah صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ ! You are the coolness of my eyes. O Allah, grant me benefit from hearing and seeing.^[2]

Method of collective accountability (72 Pious Deeds)

The Prophet صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ  has said, “Pondering over the Hereafter for a moment is better than 60 years of worship.”^[3]

Let’s make good intentions before filling in the Pious Deeds booklet:

1. To please Allah, I will hold myself to account through the Pious Deeds booklet and encourage others to do the same.

2. I will praise (i.e. thank) Allah Almighty for the pious deeds which I practised.
