one who recites the Holy Quran in abundance, adopts more piety, calls [people] towards righteousness and prevents [them] from evils the most and treats his relatives with kindness the most.’

(Musnad Imam Ahmad, vol. 10, pp. 402, Hadees 27504)

Swing in a garden

Impressed by the ‘area visit to call people towards righteousness’ being carried out in an area of Hyderabad (Sindh, Pakistan), a modern youngster attended the Masjid where he listened to a Sunnah-Inspiring speech during which the attendees were encouraged to travel with Madani Qafilahs. Expressing his willingness to travel with a Madani Qafilah, the young man also got his name listed.

A few days before his departure with the Madani Qafilah, he passed away. Someone from his family had a dream in which he saw the deceased swinging cheerfully in a beautiful lush green garden. The dreaming person asked, ‘How did you get here?’ He replied, ‘I have got here with the Madani Qafilah of Dawat-e-Islami! Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has blessed me greatly. Please ask my mother not to grieve for me as I am very comfortable here.’

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

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 صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, ‘Whoever loves my Sunnah, loves me, and whoever loves me will be with me in Jannah.’

(Ibn ‘Asakir, vol. 9, pp. 343)
