Madani pearls regarding the ‘Imamah [Sunnah turban]

Firstly, 2 sayings of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم:

  ٭2 Rak’at of Salah performed whilst wearing an ‘Imamah are better than offering 70 Rak’at without wearing an ‘Imamah.’ (Al-Firdaus bima Soor-il-Khattab, vol. 2, pp. 265, Hadees 3233)

  ٭ ‘Imamahs are the crowns of the Arabs, so wear the ‘Imamah and your honour will augment. Whoever wears an ‘Imamah; he gains one virtue for every fold [of the ‘Imamah that he wraps around his head].’

(Jam’-ul-Jawami’, vol. 5, pp. 202, Hadees 14536)

  ٭The length of the Shimlah of the ‘Imamah should be at least the width of four fingers, and at most up to the middle of the back, i.e. approximately the length of one arm. (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 22, pp. 182)

  ٭Bind the ‘Imamah whilst standing facing the Qiblah. (Kashf-ul-Iltibas fis-Tihbab-il-Libas lish-Shaykh ‘Abdul Haq Dihlvi, pp. 38)

  ٭The Sunnah of the ‘Imamah is that it should not be shorter than 2½ yards in length, nor should it be longer than 6 yards, and it should be bound in a dome-like fashion. (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 22, pp. 186)
