When I attended, I heard an Islamic sister delivering a heart-trembling speech about the ‘punishments of missing Salah’ that shook me up. I made a firm intention that ‘اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ from this day on, I would not miss any single Salah’. Then, with the arrival of Rabi’-un-Noor, the season of blessings, I attended a Milad congregation where I heard an Islamic sister deliver a speech about the ‘Devastation of Television’^[1]. My hair stood on end and tears gushed from my eyes. Since that day onwards until the present day I have been busy striving to reform myself remaining affiliated with Dawat-e-Islami.

Note: If you have also experienced any blessings or Madani parable, please submit it to the Madani Bahar Maktab in the end.

Sayyiduna ‘Usman-e-Ghani buying water for Muslims

It is reported that when the Muhajireen migrated to Madina-tul-Munawwarah, the salty water there did not suit the Muslims. There was a spring of sweet water called ‘Roomah’ which was the property of a person from the tribe of Bani Ghaffar. He used to sell one full leather sack of water for one ‘Mud’ (an old type of measurement in weight). The Noble Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said to him, ‘Sell this spring to me in exchange of a heavenly spring.’ He humbly said, ‘O Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! This is the only source of livelihood for me and my children. I cannot afford to do so.’

When Sayyiduna ‘Usman-e-Ghani رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ heard this news, he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ purchased that spring from its owner for 35,000 Dirhams. Then he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ approached the blessed court of the Noble Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and humbly said, ‘يَا رَسُوۡلَ اللّٰهِ اَتَجۡعَلُ لِي مِثۡلَ الَّذِي جَعَلۡتَهٗ لَهٗ عَيۡنًا فِي الۡجَنَّةِ اِنِ اشۡتَرَيۡتُهَا ؟’ i.e. Ya Rasoolallah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! As you were blessing that person with a heavenly spring, if I buy this spring, will you bless me with a heavenly spring?
