Blessed Hadees

Someone humbly asked the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم: “Who is the best amongst people?” He صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم replied: “The one who fears Allah the most, one who treats his relatives well [and] the one who abundantly calls people to righteousness and forbids [them] from evil.

(Shu’ab-ul-Iman, vol. 6, pp. 220, Hadees 7950)

For motivation, let’s listen to a beautiful parable regarding ‘weekly area visit’:

Masjid full of people

A Qafilah led by an Islamic brother from Karachi reached a city of Punjab. The door of the Masjid had a padlock on it. When the door was opened, there was dust everywhere. It seemed as though the Masjid had been locked for a long time. He, along with the other Islamic brothers of the Qafilah, cleaned the masjid. After ‘Asr Salah’, they reached a playground for weekly area visit and call the young people to righteousness who were busy playing sports game. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه! Many young people became agreed to join Madani Qafilah then and there. They came to the Masjid and had privilege to perform Salah and listen to a Sunnah-inspiring speech. Through individual effort of the Islamic brothers of Qafilah, the young people made an intention to frequent the masjid. Upon witnessing this scene, an elderly person present there said while crying: I would frequently ask people to frequent the Masjid, but no one would listen to me. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه! Today, through the blessings of the Qafilah of the devotees of Rasool and ‘weekly area visit’, this Masjid is full of people.
