Have You accepted me too?’ Suddenly, she رَحْمَةُ اللّٰهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْھا heard the following from the ears of heart: ‘O Rabi’ah! We accepted him because of you and it was because of you that We blessed him with Our closeness.’ (Al Rauz-ul-Faaiq, pp. 159; summarised)

صَـلُّوا عَلَى الْـحَـبِيْب                       صَـلَّى الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰى عَـلٰى مُـحَـمَّد

O devotees of Awliya! You have heard that how beautiful the worship Salah is that one thief comes with the intention of robbery and stands for Salah upon the instructions of a pious servant of Allah Almighty, Sayyidatuna Rabi’ah Basriyyah رَحْمَةُ اللّٰهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْھا. He was lost in the sweetness of Salah so much that he remained engaged in offering Salah the whole night and came on the right path in the morning by repenting from his sins.

Unfortunately! There are a number of such people as well in our society who despite offering Salah cannot refrain from ‘Haraam and impermissible acts. Why is it so?   

Dear Islamic brothers! It is possible that we don’t take care of the apparent and Baatini [inner] Sunnahs and manners of Salah properly which has kept us deprived of the blessings of Salah up to now. If we performed Wudhu properly and offered Salah with humility and self-mortification while abiding by all the apparent and Baatini Sunnahs and etiquette, then blessings of Salah would have been apparent upon us as well. Alas! A great number of Muslims do not offer Salah at all. Moreover, those who do offer, a lot of them do not know the basic rulings of Salah. Due to it, they make mistakes in their Salah which invalidates their Salah.

Therefore, along with making a firm intention of punctually offering Salah, we shall also pay full attention towards offering our Salah correctly so that our Salahs can be secured from being wasted. In order to save your Salah from mistakes, to learn the correct method of offering it and to learn the important rulings of Salah, read the book “Laws of Salah” written by Sheikh-e-Tareeqat, Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه and travel with the Madani Qafilahs. It is also extremely beneficial to complete the 7-day Faizan-e-Namaz course. Other than this, associate yourself with the Madani environment of
