courtesy of the utterance of the blessed Kalimah from the tongue along with believing in it wholeheartedly. If only! We could also learn the correct usage of our tongue. We abandon having conversations that consist of backbiting, tale-telling and blaming others. Indeed, if we use our tongue according to the Will of Allah Almighty and the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, then we will have a house prepared for us in the Paradise.

If we use our tongue to recite the Holy Quran, do Zikr of Allah Almighty, recite Salat and Salam upon our Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, abundantly convey call to righteousness etc., then اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ our fortune will shine immensely.

Reward of one year’s worship upon every sentence

Sayyiduna Musa عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّـنَا وَ عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام once humbly asked Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, ‘O Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! What is the reward for the one asking his brother to do good deeds and preventing him from evils?’ Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ said, ‘I write the reward of one year’s worship for each Kalimah of his and I have Haya (shyness) in giving him the torment of Hell.’ (Mukashafa-tul-Quloob, pp. 48)

Remember! In order to attain reward for conveying good to someone, having her averted against sins and performing individual efforts, it is not necessary that the other person also accepts your invitation to righteousness and only then you will be rewarded. If she does not act upon what you say, اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ you will still reap the reward. Through your individual efforts, for example, if someone starts studying in Madrasa-tul-Madinah Balighat (for Islamic sisters) and adopts the Madani environment, then اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ you will also succeed in both worlds.

‘Madrasa-tul-Madinah Balighat’, one of 8 Madani activities

Remember that studying or teaching in ‘Madrasa-tul-Madinah Balighat (Islamic sisters)’ is also one daily Madani activity out of the 8 Madani activities of Zayli Halqah. Arrange at least one Madrasa-tul-Madinah Balighat  in one Zayli Halqah. The target is to have at least 12 Islamic sisters for studying at Madrasa-tul-Madinah. (Duration: maximum 1 hour and 12 minutes). It can be arranged any time between morning 8 and the Azan of Asr (at a purdah-observing place).
