Shab-e-Bara`at and visiting the graves
Sayyidatuna ‘Aaishah Siddiqah رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا has narrated, ‘One night (i.e. the 15th night of Sha’ban), I did not see the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, but (then) I found him in Baqi’-e-Pak (the blessed graveyard in Madinah Munawwarah). The Beloved and Blessed Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said to me, ‘Were you afraid that Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Rasool will violate your rights?’ I politely replied, ‘Ya Rasoolallah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, I thought that you had probably gone to one of your other blessed wives.’ The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘Without doubt, on the 15th night of Sha’ban, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ reveals His special manifestation on the sky of the world and forgives more people than even the number of hairs of the goats of the tribe of Bani Kalb.’ (Jami’ Tirmizi, vol. 2, pp. 183, Hadees 739)
سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Have you heard! How great and exalted night is Shab-e-Bara`at in which Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ forgives the sinners more than the hairs of the goats of tribe Bani Kalb. Therefore, instead of wasting this sacred night in heedless acts we should spend it in the acts which bring about the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. In order to attain this Madani thought we should associate ourselves with the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami, the Madani movement of devotees of Rasool. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, Dawat-e-Islami is not only spreading the Madani message of Islam in approximately 104 departments, but it is also busy giving the Madani mind-set of spending life according to the Madani aim [I must strive to reform myself and people of the entire world, اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ] and Fikr-e-Aakhirat to the people related to this profession for their reformation through ‘Majlis Judges and Lawyers’ by associating them with the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami.
Madani Halqahs are, from time to time, arranged in the residences, offices, bar associations, etc., of the devotees of Rasool of this profession. They are also privileged to attend ‘Weekly Ijtima’ and ‘Madani Muzakarahs’. ‘Madrasa-tul-Madinah for adults’ are also arranged by the effort of Majlis Madrasa-tul-Madinah for adults to give the people associated with this profession the education of Holy Quran. In this Madrasah, the education of the Holy Quran
