Munkar Nakeer and I replied accordingly. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! The torment was withdrawn from me. I humbly asked that revered personality, ‘May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ have mercy on you! Who are you?’ He replied, ‘I have been created by virtue of your act of sending Salat-‘Alan-Nabi abundantly and I have been assigned to help you in every hardship.’ (Al-Qaul-ul-Badi’, pp. 260)

آپ کا نامِ نامی اے  صَلِّ عَلٰی

ہر جگہ ہر مصیبت میں کام آ گیا

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 Rasool 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

Lowering my eyes, I will listen to the Bayan attentively.

Instead of resting against a wall etc., I will sit in reverential posture like that in Tashahhud as long as possible with the intention of paying respect to religious discourse.

I will make room for others by folding my hands and limbs and by moving slightly.
