Method of collective Fikr-e-Madinah (72 Pious Deed)

The Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, “Contemplaing (over the Hereafter) for a moment is better than worshipping for 60 years.”^[1]

Let’s make good intentions’ before filling in the Pious Deed booklet:

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

2.   I will praise (i.e. thank) Allah Almighty for the Pious Deed which I practised.

3.   I will regret the Pious Deed which I did not practise and try to act on them in the future.

4.   Allah Almighty forbid, if I have not acted on any such Pious Deed which saves a person from the sins, I will make a firm intention of not committing sin in the future, along with making repentance and Istighfar.

5.   I will not reveal my good deeds without need (for example, I act on such and such or these many Pious Deed).

6.   I will act afterwards or tomorrow on the Pious Deed which can be practised afterwards (for example, one did not recite Durood upon the Holy Nabi صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم 313 times today).

7.   I will try to achieve the actual aim of filling in the Pious Deed booklet (for example, Divine fear, piety, correcting manners, progress in the Madani activities, etc.).
