Sunnahs and etiquettes of the Imamah
O devotees of the Prophet! Let us hear the Sunnahs and etiquettes of wearing an Imamah. First, listen to two sayings of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم:
1. The Holy Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: ‘Offering two Rak’aah Salah with an Imamah is greater than offering seventy Rak’aah without it.’ (Musnad-ul-Firdaus, vol. 2, p. 265, Hadees 3233)
2. ‘Imamahs are the crowns of the Arabs. So wear an Imamah, your honour will increase and whoever wears an Imamah, there is a good deed for him upon every turn (of the Imamah).’ (Kanz-ul-Ummal, vol. 15, p. 133, Raqm 41138)
* It is mentioned in Bahar-e-Shari’at: ‘Tie the Imamah whilst standing and put on the lower garment while sitting. Whoever did the opposite (i.e. he sat whilst tying the Imamah and stood while putting on the lower garment) will be inflicted with such an illness that has no cure.’
The remaining Sunnahs and etiquettes of the Imamah will be mentioned in the study circles; so do attend the study circles in order to learn them.
