٭Sayyiduna Maalik Bin Dinar رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه has said: Avoid the company of that brother or companion whose company does not bring you religious benefit so that you remain safe and sound. (Kashf-ul-Mahjoob, pp. 374)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب           صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Du’a for sincere worship

In the Madani Halqahs of Dawat-e-Islami’s Sunnah-inspiring Ijtima’ this week, the Du’a for “sincere worship” will be taught as per the schedule. The Du’a is as follows:

اَللّٰھُمَّ اَعِنِّیْ عَلٰی ذِکْرِكَ وَشُکْرِكَ وَحُسْنِ عِبَادَتِكَ

(Abu Dawood, vol. 2, pp. 123, Hadees 1522)

Translation: ‘O Allah Almighty! Help me on performing your zikr, paying gratitude to you and worshipping you nicely.’ (Faizan-e-Du’a, pp. 291)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب              صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Method of collective Fikr-e-Madinah (72 Madani In’amaat)

Saying of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم: Pondering (over the Hereafter) for a moment is better than the worship of 60 years.

(Al-Jami’-us-Sagheer, pp. 365, Hadees 5897)

Let’s make “good intentions” before filling in the Madani In’amaat booklet:

1. To please Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, I will carry out today’s Fikr-e-Madinah (i.e. self-accountability) myself through the Madani In’amaat booklet and persuade others as well.

2. I will praise (i.e. thank) Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ for the Madani In’amaat which I practised.
