Translation: I have made the intention of Sunnah I’tikaf.
Whenever you enter a Masjid, upon remembering, make the intention of Nafl
I’tikaf because as long as you stay in the Masjid you will keep obtaining the
reward of Nafl (supererogatory) I’tikaf, and eating, drinking and sleeping will
also become permissible for you in the Masjid.
Excellence of reciting Salat-‘Alan-Nabi
The Holiest Prophet �� � ��� ��� �� ��� ������� ��� ��� �� ���� ���� has said: When a true believer recites
Salat one time upon me, Allah ������� ����� blesses him with ten virtues, forgives ten
of his sins and raises his status by ten times and this is equal to setting 10
slaves free. (Attargheeb Wattarheeb, vol. 2, pp. 322, Hadees 2574)

Dear Islamic brothers! Before listening to the Bayan, let’s make good
intentions for attaining rewards. The Beloved Prophet ���� ���� �� � � �� ��� �� ��� ������� ��� ��� �� has
said, ‘مؤمن خي من عملهني�ة ال ’ The intention of a believer is better than his action.
(Al-Mu’jam-ul-Kabeer, vol. 6, pp. 185, Hadees 5942)
Two Madani pearls
� Without a good intention, no reward is granted for a good deed.
� The more righteous intentions one makes the greater reward he will attain.
Intentions of listening to the Bayan
1. Lowering my eyes, I will listen to the Bayan attentively.
2. Instead of resting against a wall etc., I will sit in Attahiyyaat position as
long as possible with the intention of showing respect for religious
knowledge.
3. I will make room for others by folding my hands and limbs and by
moving slightly.
4. If someone pushes me, I will remain patient & calm and avoid staring,
snapping, and arguing with them.
5. When I hear بيب ال
وا �
-روا ا�� ,صل
ذك ا�� ,ا
etc., I will reply loudly with ,توبوا ا1
the intention of gaining reward and encouraging others to also recite.
6. After the Bayan, I will approach other people by making Salaam, shaking
hands, and for making individual efforts upon them.

Intentions of delivering the Bayan
1. I also make the intention that I would deliver this speech (Bayan) in
order to seek the pleasure of Allah ������� ����� and for reaping the rewards.

2. I will deliver my speech (Bayan) by reading from a book of an authentic
Sunni scholar.
3. Allah ������� ����� has stated in the Glorious Quran:

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: ‘Call towards the path of your Lord with
sound planning and good advice.’ (Part 14, Surah An-Nahl, verse 125)
And the Beloved Rasool ���� ���� �� � ��� ��� �� ��� ������� ��� ��� �� has said:
يةو ا ول غوا عن
بل
‘Convey from me even if it is a single verse.’ (Sahih Bukhari, Hadees 4361)
4. I would follow these abovementioned commandments by calling people
towards righteousness and will forbid them from committing evil deeds.
5. Whilst reciting poetry or speaking Arabic, English, or pronouncing difficult
words, I will focus my attention on the sincerity of my heart. That is to
say, I will avoid delivering my speech with the intention to impress the
audience with my knowledge.
6. I will encourage the people to travel with Madani Qafilahs, to practice
upon the Madani In’amaat and to join the ‘Ilaqa’i Daura for Nayki ki
Da’wat’ (area visit for calling towards righteousness).
7. I will avoid laughing and prevent others from laughing as well.
8. In order to develop the habit of protecting my eyes from sins I will, as far
as possible, lower my gaze.

True and chosen believers
The remarkable publication of Maktaba-tul-Madinah ‘Hikayatayn and Nasihatayn’
contains 56 speeches, and mentions a valuable parable on page 256 which
will guide the true and chosen believers of Allah ������� �����.
Sayyiduna Muhammad Bin Ahmad Mufeed ��� � �! ��� ������� �� �� ��� said, I have heard
Sayyiduna Junayd Baghdadi ��� � �! ��� ������� �� �� ��� saying: I was sleeping in the presence
of Sayyiduna Sirri Saqati ��� � �! ��� ������� �� �� ��� . He woke me up and said: O Junayd! I
saw myself as if I am standing in the court of Allah ������� ����� and it was said to me:
O Sirri (Saqati)! When I created the creation, all of them claimed to be My
devoted lovers. After I created the world, then 90% of them, chose the world
and its pleasures and they turned away from Me. Then I created Jannah and
displayed it to the remaining ones. 90% of them diverted their attention
towards attaining Jannah. Then I created slightest of hardship and misfortune.
From the remaining, 90% forgot Me because of the calamities. I asked the
people who remained in the end: ‘O My Devotees! You have neither longed
after the pleasures of worldliness nor have you demanded Jannah and nor
have you detracted by the hardships and calamities. What then do you want?
They humbly responded: O Creator of the World! Our aim and mission is to
seek Your love and we will not give up despite You placing calamities upon
us. I then said: ‘I will put such difficulties upon you that even mountains
would not be able to bear them.’ Upon that, they humbly said: O our Beloved
Rab ������� �����! Why not! You have all Powers and Absolute Authority! You can test
any of us by putting us into troubles and misfortunes. Then it was (said): ‘O Sirri!
These are the true and chosen believers who are my beloved bondsmen’
(Hikayatayn aur Nasihatayn, pp. 256)
Dear Islamic brothers! From the above-mentioned parable it has become
obvious that the righteous people of Allah ������� ����� remain patient and express
their gratitude in all circumstances, they always remain obedient to His will,
and never utter a single word of complaint. Such people are the beloved ones
of Allah ������� �����. We too should develop the habit of having patience upon
difficulties to seek the love of Allah ������� �����. Let’s listen to the kind of love that
the believers have for Allah ������� �����: It is stated in Ayah 165 of Surah Baqarah:

And the believers do not love anybody with love equal to the love of Allah;
[Translation of Kanz-ul-Iman](Part 1, Surah Baqarah, verse 165)
Regarding the abovementioned blessed verse, in the commentary of ‘Siraat-ul-
Jinnan’, vol. 1, page 264, Madani pearls have been mentioned in a beautiful
manner. Before we listen to them, let me first tell you a few qualities of the
commentary of Siraat-ul-Jinnan, to understand its greatness so that we could
read it individually or in a Fajr Madani Halqah to attain the blessings of this
world and the Hereafter.
1. In the commentary of Siraat-ul-Jinnan, two translations of every verse
have been included, one from Kanz-ul-Iman of A’la Hadrat �� �� ������� ��� ��� ���
and the second is in simple Urdu known as Kanz-ul-Irfan which is mostly
derived from Kanz-ul-Iman.
2. In the commentary of Siraat-ul-Jinnan, reliable Islamic scholars have
derived Kalaam from old and new Quranic commentaries and books
written on other Islamic branches of knowledge, in particular, a large
number of books which were written by A’la Hadrat �� �� ������� ��� ��� ���, have
been presented in a simple manner.
3. The commentary of Siraat-ul-Jinnan has been greatly influenced by the
commentaries called Khaza’in-ul-Irfan and Noor-ul-Irfan. Khaza’in-ul-
Irfan is written by a Khalifah of A’la Hadrat, Sadr-ul-Afaadil, Sayyid, Hafiz
Mufti Na’eemuddin Muradabadi � ���� �� � �� ����������� � ��! �� and Noor-ul-Irfan is
written by his caliph, Hakeem-ul-Ummah Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan
Na’eemi �� �� ������� ��� ��� � ��.
4. Siraat-ul-Jinnan is not too long nor too short, is it medium but
comprehensive.

5. As far as possible an easy method has been adopted in Siraat-ul-Jinnan
so that ordinary Islamic brothers can also gain benefit from it.
6. For the rectification of deeds, the discussion and curses of social evils
have been mentioned in Siraat-ul-Jinnan.
7. Siraat-ul-Jinnan contains motivation towards attaining the gifts of Jannah
and caution against the torments of Hell.
8. In Siraat-ul-Jinnan, factors related to internal diseases have been discussed
in great detail.
9. Siraat-ul-Jinnan also contains content to help reform ourselves and
information on how to behave well with parents, relatives, orphans,
neighbours etc.
10. In Siraat-ul-Jinnan, the beliefs and practices of the Ahl-e-sunnat have
been explained with proofs.
11. In Siraat-ul-Jinnan, according to the occasion, the life history and the
parables of the Beloved Prophet ��� �� �� � ��� ��� �� ��� ������� ��� ���� ���� , the blessed companions
��% �(��) �* ��+ � ���$� �� � and the blessed saints have been mentioned.
12. Siraat-ul-Jinnan contains colourful, new and fragrant Madani pearls
obtained from the verses.
It has been stated in the exegesis of Siraat-ul-Jinnan about the verse replete
with love we have just heard:
The beloved bondsmen of Allah ������� ����� love Allah ������� ����� more than all the
creatures. To live and die in the love of Allah ������� ����� becomes the aim of their
lives. All the following acts such as preferring the will of Allah ������� ����� to every
pleasure, instead of sleeping in soft beds performing Sajdah to Allah ������� �����,
weeping in remembrance of Allah ������� �����, being worried for the pleasure of
Allah ������� �����, performing Qiyaam in the long winter nights and fasting in the

long summer days, having love and enmity for the sake of Allah ������� �����, giving
someone something and stopping giving something for the sake of Allah
������� �����, being thankful for His blessings, being patient upon distress, trust in
Allah ������� ����� in every circumstance, leaving every affair of yours to Allah ������� �����,
being ready all the time to act upon the commandments of Allah ������� �����, having
no love for others, having love for the beloveds of Allah ������� ����� and hatred for
the enemies of Allah ������� �����, having devotion to the beloveds of Allah ������� �����, showing true devotion to the most Beloved Prophet of Allah heartily, by the
recitation of the book of Allah ������� �����, getting close to the closest believers of
Allah ������� �����, loving them, having their company for developing further the love
of Allah ������� �����, respecting them considering it the reverence for Allah and
hundreds of acts other than them are such which are the evidence and
requisite for the love for Allah ������� �����. (Tafseer Siraat-ul-Jinnan, pp. 264)

about it, so he humbly said: ‘Ya Rab ������� ����� what good news should I give to
sinners and tell Siddiqeen frightening thing? Allah ������� ����� said: O Dawood! Give
this good news to sinners that no sin is bigger than My forgiveness and tell
Siddiqeen the frightening thing that they should not be pleased with their
good deeds because whoever I account for My blessings, will be ruined.
O Dawood! If you want to love Me, so dispel the love of the world from the
heart because the love for Me and the world cannot gather in one heart;
O Dawood! Whoever loves Me, offers Tahajjud at night for Me while people
are sleeping; he remembers Me in loneliness, when heedless people remain
heedless of My remembrance, he thanks Me for My blessing whereas those
who forget remain heedless of Me.’

Dear Islamic brothers! The real love of Allah ������� ����� we can get if we know the
ways of getting it. The most important way to gain the love of Allah ������� ����� is
this that one should have true love for His Beloved Prophet �� � � �� ��� �� ��� ������� ��� ��� �� ��� �!��
and obey the Beloved Prophet ��� �� �� � � �� ��� �� ��� ������� ��� �� � �!�� in every matter. Allah ������� �����
has made the obedience to the Beloved Prophet �� � � �� ��� �� ��� ������� ��� ��� �� ��� �!�� a condition
for getting His Own love: Allah ������� ����� has said in verse 31 of Surah Al-e-Imran,
Part 3:

Proclaim, ‘O mankind! If you love Allah, follow me - Allah will love you and
forgive you your sins’; and Allah is Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful.
[Translation of Kanz-ul-Iman](Part 3, Surah Al-Imran, verse 31)
From this blessed verse it has been learnt that the claim of loving Allah ������� ����� can be true only when we obey the Beloved Prophet �� � � �� ��� �� ��� ������� ��� ��� �� ���� ���� .Talking
about the summary of this blessed verse Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan Na’eemi
���� ��� ������� ��� ��� � �! has stated: O the Prophet �� � � �� ��� �� ��� ������� ��� ��� �� ���� ���� ! You tell the people that
who claim to love Me without your Wasilah or those who considering
themselves the beloved of their Rab want to be independent of you or those
who want to get close to Allah ������� ����� by other sources rather than your
obedience; make this announcement to all of them that if you want to love
Allah ������� �����, so neither compete with me nor claim to be of my equal, nor go
ahead of me, but rather being slave follow me.
Follow me in your sayings, actions, deeds, in short, in every walk of life and
become totally absorbed in me, then things will be contrary that Rub will
make you His Beloved and whatever you will, He will do, besides this He will
forgive all of your sins because Allah ������� ����� is very forgiving and the most
merciful; you enable yourself to have His forgiveness and mercy, then get its
pleasure. (Tafseer Na’eemi, vol. 3, pp. 359 -360)
Therefore, we should also spend our day and night in compliance with the
commandments of Allah ������� ����� and His Prophet �� � ��� ��� �� ��� ������� ��� ��� �� ���� ���� because it is
the demand of love that the person who is loved should be obeyed.

Dear Islamic brothers! One means of gaining the love of Allah ������� ����� is to offer
Salah regularly, to observe all the fasts of the month of Ramadan and to pay
Zakat on time. Moreover, in addition to offering Faraid and Wajibat offering
Nawafil is also a best deed. One who offers Nawafil also becomes the beloved
and favourite bondsman of Allah ������� �����.
Abundance of Nawafil is a means of loving Allah
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah ���7%�� ������� ��� � �8�! has narrated that the Beloved and
Blessed Prophet ���� ���� �� � ��� ��� �� ��� ������� ��� ��� �� has stated, ‘Allah �� ������� ��� has said, ‘Whoever
causes pain to a saint, I declare war with him. A bondsman seeks closeness to
Me most through the Faraid [obligatory acts] and he continues to gain
closeness to Me by means of Nawafil [supererogatory Salah], until I start to
love him. When I make the bondsman My beloved, I become his ear through
which he hears, become his eye by which he sees, become his hand through
which he holds and become his leg through which he walks. Then if he begs
Me, I bestow upon him, and if he seeks my protection, I grant him
protection.’ (Sahih Bukhari, vol. 4, pp. 248, Hadees 6502)
Regarding the foregoing Hadees, Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan Na’eemi ���� ��� ������� ��� ��� � �! has stated: This line doesn’t mean that Allah ���� ����� ��� enters the body of a saint
as fire into coal or colour or smell into flower as Allah ������� ����� is free of entering
[anything / anybody] and this belief is Kufr. It has some meanings: one of
them is that these parts of a saint’s body do not commit sins, always perform
good deeds; worship becomes easy for him, that is to say, I am making him
perform all acts of worship or it means that person then does not use these
body parts for the world, only uses for Me, sees Me in everything, hears My

(Annihilation in Allah) , by which Divine powers work in his body parts and he
performs those deeds which are beyond comprehension.

Dear Islamic brothers! Would that we could become punctual in offering
Nawafil as well besides regularly offering Faraid! Would that we could
observe Nafli fasts such as the fast of Monday and Thursday, in addition to
Fard fasts! Would that we could happily pay our complete Zakat along with
Nafli Sadaqat such as to have your contribution in the construction of Masajid
and Madaris, to help poor siblings and relatives financially, to feed Muslims,
to spend money to spread the call towards righteousness, etc.!
Would that we could have the privilege of performing Nafl Haj and ‘Umrah
along with the Fard Haj!
Would that we could offer Nafl Salah such as Tahajjud, Ishraaq, Chasht,
Awwabin etc., along with Fard Salahs!

Being Patient with troubles a means of Love for Allah ������� �����
Dear Islamic brothers! Similarly, another way of loving Allah ������� ����� is to remain
patient instead of making complaints on the difficulties and troubles from
Him. Anyhow, one should remain patient as Allah ������� ����� likes those who
remain patient. It is stated in Ayah no: 146 of Surah Al-e-Imran:
�� �G FE Z �,B � �_

No love for worldliness in heart is a means of Love for Allah ��� ���� �����:
Dear Islamic brothers! One more means of gaining Allah’s love is to dispel the
love of the worldliness from your heart. But regretfully, attracted by the
world and its colourfulness the relish of love for Allah ������� ����� is running out
from our hearts. If we had been sincere in love with Allah ������� �����, our Salahs
would have never been missed, fasts of Ramadan would have never been
missed and we would have not been heedless of paying Zakat. So it has
become obvious that it is the curse of the love for the worldliness due to
which we couldn’t seek love for Allah ������� �����. Therefore, get rid of the love of
this world as soon as possible as there is only loss in its love.
Sayyiduna Abdullah Bin Mas’ood �� ������� ��� � �8�!% ���7 has narrated that the Beloved
Prophet �� � � �� ��� �� ��� ������� ��� ��� �� ���� ���� has said: The one who is made to drink the sweet
drink of the world must have the taste of three things:
1. Such trouble that will not dispel his tiredness
2. Such greed by which he will not be rich
3. Such a desire which he will not be able to satisfy, because this world is
one that demands and that is demanded, therefore whoever asks for
this world, the hereafter will search him until he dies. When he dies, it
will seize him. Whoever asks for the Hereafter, the world will keep on
searching him until he achieves his full quota of sustenance from it.
(Tabarani Kabeer, vol. 10, pp. 162, Raqm 10328)
A Shaykh of Basra went to Sayyidatuna Rabi’a Basri � �� ��� ������� ��� ��� � �! �$� and started

attached to the world because the person who loves someone more and

would have never talked about it. (Tazkira-tul-Awliya, pp. 76)

understanding its meanings and sense acting upon it are the acts of reward
and a best way to seek love for Allah ������� �����.
Sayyiduna Sahl Tustari ���� ��� ������� ��� ��� � �! has said: The sign of having love of Allah
������� ����� is to have love for the Holy Quran. The sign of loving Allah ������� ����� and the
Holy Quran is to love the Beloved Prophet �� � � �� ��� �� ��� ������� ��� ��� �� ���� ���� and the sign of
loving the Beloved Prophet �� ������� ��� ��� �� �� � � �� ��� �� � ��� � ���� is adherence to his Sunnah.
(Mukashafa-tul-Quloob, pp. 37) So we should also have true love for the Holy
Quran as the truthfulness of lover becomes obvious in three things:
1. A lover considers the things of his beloved best.
2. The gathering of his beloved is the best gathering for him.
3. The will of his beloved is most precious for him.

How did I gain yearning for recitation of glorious Quran
One very good way to gain the company of the devotees of the Prophet is to
learn proper recitation of the Quran at Madrasa-tul-Madinah for adults (or to
teach if you have already learned).
In order to persuade you, here is a summary of an Islamic brother’s statement:
‘I would commit many sins, including fitting VCR cables to people’s homes,
roaming around with immoral friends, watching two or three movies in a
day, wasting my nights in attending concerts and live stage shows etc.
�%' � �% �;% �9 �:%� � � ��� �� �� ����� , by virtue of the frequent individual efforts of an Islamic brother,
who was from Nayabad of Bab-ul-Madinah Karachi, I enrolled in a local
Madrasa-tul-Madinah (for adults). Accordingly, I gained the company of the
devotees of the Prophet and having affiliated myself with the global non-
political movement of propagating Quran and Sunnah, I became busy
carrying out Madani activities.’
Contemplation of the Divine blessings is the source of seeking Divine love
Dear Islamic brothers! Keeping remembering and recalling all the small and
great blessings and all the apparent and hidden favours and mercies of Allah
������� ����� every moment is also an effective source of attaining the Divine love.
Undoubtedly, Allah has bestowed upon us infinite favours such as He ������� ����� made the earth a resting place, sky as a canopy which sustaining itself without
pillars, sent down blessed Prophets and Rasools ���$� �%� �%�� 4 �5 ��6 � to spread the message
of truth and righteousness. Apart from it if we ponder over our lives, we
would come to know that Allah ������� ����� has bestowed countless blessings upon
us, for example, He ������� ����� has created us, blessed us with the system of
inhaling and exhaling breathing for our survival, endowed us with the gifts of
sight and hearing, the intellect, health, wealth and family, feet, sense of
smelling, tongue and He ������� ����� has even subjected everything in the universe
for us: the sun, the moon, the heavens and the earth, and many countless
things which we have never contemplated even a slightest blessing of Allah
������� ����� is more than the worship and prayers of many years performed by us.
Hence, it is quoted that a person from the successor-nations would have

worshipped 400 years and he would not have even a single sins in his book of
deeds. On the day of Judgment, there will be a Divine decree that his worship
containing 400 years to be placed on the one side of scale and just a single
blessing of eye on the other scale and it will be measured which will be
resulted in the blessing of an eye will be far more than his 400 years worship.

short, those who gather for the pleasure of Allah ������� �����, meet one another for
the pleasure of Allah ������� ����� and spend money on one another for the pleasure
of Allah, they attain true devotion towards Allah ������� �����. Hence, it is stated on
page 577 volume: 03 ‘Bahar-e-Shari’at’: My love is obligatory for those who
love one another, meet one another, and spend money for one another for
the sake Me. (Al Mauta Imam Malik, Hadees 1828)
Allah’s love for his bondsman
Dear Islamic brothers! The way bondsmen have devotional love towards their
Absolute Creator and Owner, similarly, Allah ������� ����� loves his bondsmen; moreover,
Allah’s devotion towards his bondsmen could be demonstrated from many
aspects, for instance, Allah ������� ����� being pleased with his bondsmen, making
him intend to do good, praising bondsman, bestowing him with His loads of
reward, forgiving him, making him engaged in his obedience and submission
and saving him from His disobedience. (Ruh-ul-Bayan, Surah Al-Imran, Taht-al-Ayah,
148, 1/ 107) Baydavi, Baqarah, Taht-al-Ayah 164, 1/ 441, Tafseer Khaazin, Taht-al-Ayah, 1/ 243)
Privilege of learning Deen
When Allah ������� �����loves his bondsman blesses him the true devotion towards
Deen as it is stated in the blessed Hadith that Allah ������� ����� grants worldliness to
that person whom He loves and that individual too whom He ����� ������� does not
but bestows Deen only that person who is closer and beloved to Him,
therefore, Allah ������� ����� has bestowed Deen whom He ������� ����� loved.
(Shu’ab-ul-Iman, vol. 4, pp. 395 – 396, Hadees 5524)
True believer is mentioned amongst creature
Similarly, when Allah ������� ����� loves his bondsman mentions him amongst his
creature, his righteousness and virtues become public. The Beloved and Blessed
Prophet ��� �� ��� ������� ��� �� ��� �� � � �� ��� � ���� has stated: When Allah loves any bondsman, He
calls Sayyiduna Gabriel ��%� �� �%�� 4�5% ��6% � and says: I love so and so; you should also
love him, and then Sayyiduna Gabriel ��%� �� �%�� 4�5% ��6% � begins to love him. Then he

makes an announcement in the heaven saying: Allah ������� ����� loves so and so and
you also love him, and then the inhabitants of the Heaven also begin to love
him and then there is conferred honour upon him on the earth; and when
Allah is angry with any bondsman He calls Sayyiduna Gabriel ��%� �� �%�� 4�5% ��6% � and
says: I am angry with such and such and you also become angry with him, and
then Sayyiduna Gabriel ��%� �� �%�� 4�5% ��6% � also becomes angry and then makes an
announcement amongst the inhabitants of heaven: Allah is angry with so-and
so, so you also become angry with him, and thus they also become angry
with him. Then he has nothing on earth but hatred.
(Sahih Muslim, pp. 1417, Hadees 1637)
Dear Islamic brothers! We should also cultivate the habit of performing more
and more prayers, recitation of Glorious Quran and carrying out virtues and
as a human fallibility, if we happened to commit any sin then we should seek
true forgiveness in the court of Allah ������� ����� forthwith because Allah ������� ����� likes
forgiveness seekers. As it is stated in Surah Baqarah:

Dear Islamic brothers! It is learnt that seeking forgiveness is also the most
liked action in the sight of Allah ������� �����; therefore, we should also keep seeking
forgiveness for our major and minor sins, especially when we go to our bed
we should ponder over all the activities and matters transpired all the day
long.
It is stated in Madani In’aam 16 (prescribed and designed by Shaykh-e-
Tareeqat, Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat, founder of Dawat-e-Islami, ‘Allamah Maulana
Abu Bilal Muhammad Ilyas Attar Qadiri Razavi Ziyaee �.%�,��# ��%�$%���%�/ �+%�- ��%� �%� �%��%� � ): ‘Today,
did you offer Salat-ul-Taubah at least once (preferably before going to bed)
and repent of the sins committed today as well as in the past? Further, in
case some sin gets committed معاذ ا��, did you repent instantly and vow never
to commit that sin again?’
Therefore, we should also seek forgiveness if carried out any virtue for
showing off others and make intention not to do so in future and cultivate
the habit of carrying out deeds with true sincerity so that we all are also
counted amongst the most liked bondsmen of Allah ������� �����.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah �� �� ������� �� ����� has narrated that the Beloved and
Blessed Prophet ���� ���� � �� ��� �� �� ��� ������� �� �� �! has stated, ‘Allah ������� ����� has said, ‘Whoever
has enmity towards a Wali [friend] of Mine, I declare war on him. Of all things
through which My bondman seeks nearness to Me, the Faraaid [obligatory
acts] are most beloved to Me. And he continues to gain nearness to Me by
means of Nawafil [supererogatory Salah], until I make him My beloved. If he
asks Me for anything, I will surely bestow that thing upon him, and if he seeks
refuge, I will surely grant him refuge.’ (Sahih Bukhari, vol. 4, pp. 248, Hadees 6502)
Commenting on the abovementioned Hadees, Hakeem-ul-Ummah Mufti
Ahmad Yar Khan Na’eemi ��� ��� ������� ��� "� �# �� has stated on page 308, volume 3 of
Mirat-ul-Manajeeh: ‘It means that a Muslim continues offering Nawafil along
with the Fard (obligatory) deeds to the extent that he becomes Allah’s beloved
because he becomes exemplary of offering both Faraaid and Nawafil. It does
not mean that a person should leave Faraaid and just offer Nawafil.’
It is stated on page 674, part 4, volume 1 of Bahar-e-Shari’at, published by
Maktaba-tul-Madinah, a publication department of Dawat-e-Islami: ‘There
are many Nawafil. One can offer as many Nawafil as he wishes except during
the time when it is not permissible to offer Salah.

reward he will receive in the Afterlife.

shall attain Divine pleasure, while the complaining one shall be subjected to

Madrasa-tul-Madinah
Countless Madaris for Hifz and Nazirah, namely Madrasa-tul-Madinah have
been established. By the time of writing of this account (i.e. Rajab 1435 AH),
more or less 2049 Madaris-ul-Madinah (for boys & girls) are operating in
Pakistan. More than 101,430 boys and girls are being taught Hifz and Nazirah
in these Madaris free of charge.
Madrasa-tul-Madinah (for adults)
�%' � �% �;% �9 �:%� � � ��� �� �� ����� ! Under the supervision of the global & non-political movement of
Quran & Sunnah, Dawat-e-Islami, thousands of Madaris-ul-Madinah (for
adults) are operated daily usually after Salat-ul-‘Isha in different Masajid etc.
where adults learn Quran & Du’as with their correct pronunciations of the Arabic
alphabets, including the correct method of offering Salah and several other
Sunan free of charge.
Dear Islamic brothers! In conclusion, I take this opportunity to mention the
excellence of a Sunnah as well as some Sunan and manners. The Prophet of
Rahmah, the Intercessor of the Ummah ���� ���� �� � � �� ��� �� ��� ������� ��� ��� �� has said, ‘Whoever
loves my Sunnah, loves me, and whoever loves me will be with me in Jannah.’

9 Madani pearls regarding the ‘Imamah [Sunnah turban]
Two sayings of the Beloved Prophet �� � � �� ��� �� ��� ������� ��� ��� �� ���� ���� :
1. 2 Rak’aat of Salah performed whilst wearing an ‘Imamah is better than
offering 70 Rak’aat without wearing one. (Al-Firdaus Bima Saur-ul-Khattab, vol.
2, pp. 265, Hadees 3233)
www.dawateislami.net
How to Attain the Pleasure of Allah ��� �� �� ��� ��? Translated into English by Majlis-e-Tarajim (Dawat-e-Islami)
25
2. Offering Salah whilst wearing an ‘Imamah is equivalent to 10,000
virtues.’ (Al-Firdaus Bima Saur-ul-Khattab, vol. 2, pp. 406, Hadees 3805)
3. Bind the ‘Imamah whilst standing, facing the Qiblah. (Kashf-ul-Iltibas Fis-
Tihbab-il-Libas lish-Shaykh ‘Abdul Haq Dihlvi, pp. 38)
4. The Sunnah of the ‘Imamah is that it should not be shorter than 2½
yards in length, nor should it be longer than 6 yards, and it should be
bound in a dome-like fashion. (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 22, pp. 186)
5. If you have a large kerchief with which you can produce enough folds to
cover the whole head, then it will be considered as an ‘Imamah.
6. It is Makruh to bind a small kerchief with which one can only produce
one or two folds. (Fatawa Razawiyyah – referenced, vol. 7, pp. 299)
7. It is more appropriate to wrap the first fold of the ‘Imamah towards the
right side of the head. (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 22, pp. 199)
8. If Imamah is to be taken off out of some need and there is an intention
of binding it again, then one sin will be erased on unwinding each fold. (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 6, pp. 214)
9. The length of the Shimla of the ‘Imamah should be at least the width of
four fingers, and at most up to the middle of the back, i.e. approximately
the length of one arm.
To learn various Sunan, obtain the following books, Bahar-e-Shari’at
part 16 comprising of 312 pages and Sunnatayn aur Adaab, comprising of 120
pages, both published by Maktaba-tul-Madinah, the publishing department
of Dawat-e-Islami. One of the best ways to learn Sunan is to travel in the
Madani Qafilahs of Dawat-e-Islami with the lovers of the Beloved Prophet
