Introduction to the book, ‘Achay Mahool ki Barkatayn’

Dear Islamic brothers! You have just heard of how much regret and remorse those parents face who deprive their children of the blessings of good company. If parents keep themselves attached to a religious environment and give Islamic upbringing to their children, then not only will their children become the coolness of their eyes in this world, but they can also become the means of their salvation in the Hereafter.

اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه, in order to spread the blessings of good company and save the Ummah from the harms of bad company, Maktaba-tul-Madinah has published a 50-page booklet, entitled, ‘Achy Mahool ki Barkatayn.’ In this book, the way to recognise good and bad company, the benefits of good company and the harms of bad company have been mentioned in the light of Quranic verses, blessed Ahadees and the statements of the pious predecessors.
