The Third Obstacle: Distance from Religious Knowledge and Good Company

Dear Islamic brothers! A significant barrier to pardoning is being distant from religious knowledge and good company. A person deprived of the treasure of religious knowledge and the blessings of good company usually becomes an easy target for Satan to deprive them of the privilege of pardoning. In this day and age, the religious environment of Dawat-e-Islami is before us like an open book. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه! By virtue of being associated with this environment, both these blessings can become available to us.

Therefore, to attain the wealth of religious knowledge and to be enriched by the benevolence of good company, let us remain associated with the religious environment of Dawat-e-Islami. Participate regularly in the Sunnah-inspired gatherings and Madani Muzakarahs, study the books and booklets published by Maktabat-ul-Madina, teach or study in Madrasat-ul-Madina for adults, deliver lessons or participate in them, fill in the Pious Deeds booklet, and travel in the Qafilahs. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه, the spirit of pardoning and seeking forgiveness will gradually awaken in the heart.
