to receive me as they would not be able to safeguard their gazes and I might face the accountability of sins against this act on the Day of Judgement as this may be the situation: ‘When you were aware of the destructive atmosphere of the airport and knew that no one will be able to observe Qufl-e-Madinah (spiritual lock of the eyes i.e. to lower the gaze), why did you gather the people at the airport to receive the pleasure of your Nafs (ego)?’

Alas! I am helpless, I can’t face the accountability. Repeatedly, I have sought forgiveness of my sins. Also, I seek forgiveness making you a witness. Pray for me that Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ may grant me firmness and determination. However, security is our compulsion; so, only guards and drivers may arrive but they should also wait in the car park.

Dear Islamic brothers! Have you heard how sensitive Shaykh-e-Tareeqat, Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه is about safeguarding the gaze that in view of the indecent atmosphere, he prevented the lovers of the beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم to arrive and receive him at the airport; furthermore, he informed them about the reason that it is quite impossible to protect the gaze at such a place.

Dear Islamic brothers! The ‘Area visit for calling towards righteousness’ is one of the 12 Madani activities. For the purpose of seeking the blessings of the Sadaqah of the modesty and decency of our pious predecessors رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی and developing the mind-set of getting rid of impermissible practices and customs, associate yourselves with the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami and strive hard to take part in the 12 Madani activities for calling people towards righteousness as enjoining good and forbidding evil is that noble act which is listed in the kinds of Jihad.

Sayyiduna ‘Ali-ul-Murtada کَـرَّمَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی وَجۡـھَـهُ الۡـکَـرِیۡم narrated that the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: Jihad has four types: 1. Enjoining the doing of good 2. Forbidding the doing of evil. 3. Speaking the truth in the situation of a trial. 4. To bear hatred towards transgressors. (He then stated): The one who calls towards righteousness has strengthened the hands of true believers and the one who prevents from evils has dishonoured the transgressors.
