Madani Qafilah – one of the 12 Madani activities
Dear Islamic brothers! In order to prepare for the grave and Hereafter, safeguard yourselves against the sins, develop a habit of worship and recitation of the Holy Quran and defeat every attack of Shaytan and Nafs, you should associate yourselves with the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami which is the Madani movement of the devotees of Rasool.
