granted such a great power and ability of hearing even a soft voice of millions of Salat reciters across the world; imagine, when this is the hearing power of one that is appointed to the blessed tomb for carrying out services, then what will be the greatness and eminence of the Greatest Prophetصَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم? Why will he not recognise his true followers and why   would he not help them after listening to their pleas, with the permission of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ?

اور کوئی غَیب کیا تم سے نِہاں ہو بَھلا                  جب نہ خُدا ہی چُھپا تم پہ کروڑوں دُرُود

میں قُرباں اِس اَدائے دَست گیری پر مِرے آقا         مدد کو آگئے جب بھی پُکارا یَا رَسُولَ الله

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! Before listening to the Bayan, let’s make good intentions for attaining rewards. The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, ‘نِيَّةُ الۡمُؤۡمِنِ خَيۡرٌ مِّنۡ عَمَلِه’ 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.
