masjid with the opening takbir, and we can attain the reward of inviting towards goodness.

This will also reflect well on Dawat-e-Islami; the one who implements this will continually supplicate for Muslims to perform hajj and visit Madinah, and if Allah wills, these prayers will be answered for him too. By awakening others for Fajr, one will benefit from walking. A booklet regarding this religious activity is also available, so read it and make efforts to spread this religious activity in accordance with the methods given in the booklet.

Sunan and etiquettes of wearing shoes

Dear Islamic brothers! Let us listen to some sunan and etiquettes of wearing shoes from the booklet of the Amir of Ahl al-Sunnah دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ entitled 101 Madani Pearls:

1.   The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, “Wear shoes as much as possible, for as long as a person wears shoes, it is as though he is riding (i.e. he tires less).”^[1]

2.   “Before wearing shoes, shake them so that any insects or pebbles are removed.”

3.   The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم stated, “When one of you wears his shoes, he should start with the right side, and when he removes them, he should start with the left side. This is so that the right foot is first when wearing (them) and the last when removing (them).”^[2]
