Translation: I have made the intention of Sunnah I’tikaaf.
Whenever you enter a Masjid, when you remember, make the
intention of ‘I’tikaaf’ because as long as you stay in the Masjid you will
keep obtaining the reward of Nafli (supererogatory) I’tikaafs, then eating,
drinking and sleeping will also become permissible for you in the Masjid.
Excellence of reciting Salat-‘Alan-Nabi
After the demise of Sayyiduna Shaykh Ahmad Bin Mansoor ʋ ,
someone from Shiraz had a dream in which he saw Sayyiduna Shaykh Ahmad
Bin Mansoor ʋ , dressed in a Heavenly garment, wearing a crown with
pearls, standing in the Mihrāb (arch) of the main Masjid of Shiraz. The dreamer
asked as to how Allah treated him, he ʋ replied, ‘Allah not
only forgave me and bestowed me with this crown, but also made me enter
Heaven.’ When that person asked the reason of this great privilege, Sayyiduna
Shaykh Ahmad Bin Mansoor ȹ replied, ‘I used to recite abundant
Salāt upon the Prophet of creation, the Peace of our heart and mind, the

Dear Islamic brothers! Before listening to the Bayān, let’s make good
intentions for attaining rewards. The Beloved Prophet ٖ ʋ ʄ has
said, ‘‫ِه‬‫ل‬َ‫م‬

‫خ‬ ِ‫ِن‬‫م‬

(Al-Mu’jam-ul-Kabeer, vol. 6, pp. 185, Hadees 5942)
Two Madani pearls
Without a good intention, no reward is granted for a good deed.
The more righteous intentions one makes the greater reward he will attain.
Intentions of listening to the Bayān
1. Lowering my eyes, I will listen to the Bayān attentively.
2. Instead of resting against a wall etc., I will sit in Attahiyyaat position as
far as possible with the intention of showing respect for religious
knowledge.
3. I will make room for others by folding my hands and limbs and by
moving slightly.
4. If someone pushes me, I will remain patient and avoid staring, snapping,
and arguing with them.

the intention of gaining reward and encouraging others to also recite.
6. After the Bayān, I will approach other people by making Salām, shaking
hands, and for making individual efforts upon them.

Intentions of delivering a Bayān
1. I also make the intention that I would deliver this speech (Bayān) in
order to seek the pleasure of Allah and for reaping the rewards.
2. I will deliver my speech (Bayān) by reading from a book of an authentic
Sunni scholar.
3. Allah has stated in the Glorious Quran:
ۡ ۡ ۡ ۡ ۡ ۡ ٰ ۡ
Translation from Kanz-ul-Īmān: ‘Call towards the path of your Lord with
sound planning and good advice.’ (Part 14, Surah An-Nahl, verse 125)

‘Convey from me even if it is a single verse.’ (Sahih Bukhari, Hadees 4361)
4. I would follow these abovementioned commandments by calling people
towards righteousness and will forbid them from committing evil deeds.
5. Whilst reciting poetry or speaking Arabic, English, or pronouncing difficult
words, I will focus my attention on the sincerity of my heart. That is to

4
say, I will avoid delivering my speech with the intention to impress the
audience with my knowledge.
6. I will encourage the people to travel with Madani Qafilahs, to practice
upon the Madani In’aamaat and to join the ‘Ilaaqa’i Daura for Nayki ki
Da’wat’ (area visit for calling towards righteousness).
7. I will avoid laughing and prevent others from laughing as well.
8. In order to develop the habit of protecting my eyes from sins I will, as far
as possible, lower my gaze.

First night of the blessed month of Ramadan
It is written in ‘Faizan-e-Ramadan’, a chapter of the 1st
volume of the world-
renowned book, ‘Faizan-e-Sunnat’ – published by Maktaba-tul-Madinah, the
publishing department of Dawat-e-Islami:
Sayyiduna ‘Abdullāh Ibn ‘Abbās ȹ ʝ has narrated that the Beloved and
Blessed Prophet ٖ ʋ ʄ has stated, ‘On the first day of Ramadan, a
breeze called Maseerah blows beneath the Divine ‘Arsh, swaying the leaves
of Heavenly trees and making such an extremely pleasant sound that none
has heard before. Upon hearing this sound, the large eyed Heavenly maidens
appear, they stand on top of the high heavenly palaces and say, ‘Is there
anyone to ask for our hand in marriage from Allah ?’ Then they ask the
gate keeper of Jannah, (Sayyiduna) Ridwaan , ‘What night is this?’
(Sayyiduna) Ridwaan recites Talbīyah (i.e. Labbayk) and says, ‘It is the
first night of Ramadan, the doors of Heaven have been opened for the fasting
(Muslims) of the Ummah of Muhammad ٖ ʋ ʄ .’
(Attarghīb Wattarhīb, pp. 60, vol. 2, Hadees 23)
Dear Islamic brothers! Have you seen the highly exalted level of Allah’s mercy
upon His fasting believers, that Allah opens the doors of Jannah for them
and what a spiritual status and excellence this blessed month of Ramadan

5
occupies, that Jannah is decorated and adorned the whole year for welcoming
the blessed month of Ramadan.
Dear Islamic brothers! Heaven is adorned the whole year to welcome the month
of Ramadan. Sayyiduna ‘Abdullāh Ibn ‘Umar ȹ ʝ has narrated that
the Prophet of creation, the Peace of our heart and mind, the most Generous
and Kind ٖ ʋ ʄ has stated, ‘Indeed, Heaven is adorned for Ramadan
from the beginning of the year till the end.’ He ٖ ʋ ʄ has further
stated, ‘On the first day of Ramadan, a breeze blows beneath Heavenly trees,
delighting the big eyed maidens of Heaven. The Heavenly maidens say, ‘O
Allah make such bondmen of Yours our husbands who would receive
great joy by seeing us, and we would receive great joy by seeing them.’
(Shu’ab-ul-Īmān, vol. 3, pp. 312, Hadees 3633)
Congratulations! The sacred month of Ramadan is arriving soon bringing a huge
treasure of blessings and forgiveness. The excellence virtue of Ramadan
can be judged by this fact that as soon as this blessed month of Ramadan begins,
with its blessings, the Beloved Rasool ʄʋٖ would convey the glad
tidings of Ramadan and congratulate the Blessed Sahabah ʝȹ upon
the arrival of this sacred month of Ramadan.
Blessings of Ramadan
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah ʝ said, the Blessed and Beloved Rasool
ʄ ٖ ʋ has stated herald the glad tidings to his blessed Sahabah
ʝȹ : The sacred month of Ramadan, which is extremely blessed, has
approached you, Allah has made fasts obligatory upon you; doors of
Jannah are opened in this month and the doors of Hell are closed, even devils
are chained up; one of its nights is better than a thousand nights and the one
who is deprived of its blessings is absolutely deprived.
(Musnad Imam Ahmad Bin Hanbal, vol. 3, pp. 331, Hadees 9001)
Commenting on abovementioned blessed Hadees, the renowned commentator,
Hakeem-ul-Ummah, Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan ʋ has stated: This sacred
month of Ramadan has both Hissi (apparent; can be felt) and Ghoybi (hidden)

6
blessings; this is the reason the name of this sacred month is also, the ‘blessed
month’. In the blessed month of Ramadan, as you would expect, true believers
receive blessings in their sustenance; the fulfillment of each virtue during the
month is rewarded by 70 times or more than this. Therefore, through this
blessed Hadees, we have learnt that exchanging praises and greetings upon
the arrival of the blessed month of Ramadan is a Sunnah and we must be
happy when this blessed month starts, and sad when it leaves us. It is for this
reason, that the majority of Muslims constantly weep on Jumu’a-tul-Wada’
(farewell to the last Friday of Ramadan), some farewell words are recited and
speeches are given, for Muslims to carry out maximum good deeds for the
little time that remains for this blessed month. The abovementioned blessed
Hadees is a source of all these acts. (Mirat-ul-Manajih, vol. 3, pp. 137)
Dear Islamic brothers! In the Sunnah inspiring Madanī environment of Dawat-e-
Islami as well, a unique excitement of the people is expressed when the blessed
month of Ramadan approaches but this is followed by much crying when this
blessed month leaves us. Shaykh-e-Tareeqat, Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat, founder
of Dawat-e-Islami, ‘Allamah Maulana Abu Bilal Muhammad Ilyas Attar Qadiri
Razavi Ziyae has written the following beautiful poetry expressing
his joy, to highlight the significance glory of this sacred month and showing
gratitude to Allah for this great blessing.

Sixty thousand sinners forgiven every night
Sayyiduna ‘Abdullāh Ibn Masūd ʝȹ has narrated that the Beloved and
Blessed Prophet ʄȹٖ has stated, ‘At every night of Ramadan,
an announcement is made in the skies till dawn, ‘O seeker of goodness!
Complete (i.e. keep worshipping Allah ) and rejoice, and O evil one! Give
up your evil and take some lesson. Is there any seeker of forgiveness, his
desire will be fulfilled? Is there anyone repenting, his repentance will be
accepted? Is there anyone making Du’ā, his Du’ā will be accepted? Is there
anyone who seeks anything, he will be bestowed what he wishes for?’ Each
evening of Ramadan at the time of sunset, Allah frees sixty thousand
sinners from Hell, and on the day of Eid He forgives as many people as
the total number of those who were freed throughout the month.’
(Ad-Dur-rul-Mansūr, pp. 146, vol. 1)
Dear Islamic brothers! How blessed and precious are the moments of Ramadan,
that each moment, Divine blessings continue to descend upon the bondsmen.
This is that sacred month, in which days are passed in the state of fasts and
nights in reciting the Glorious Quran, and both these virtuous acts i.e. fasting
and reciting the Glorious Quran will be sources of intercession.
Fasts and the Holy Quran will intercede
Fasts and the Holy Quran will intercede for the Muslims on the Day of
Judgement. The Prophet of creation, the Peace of our heart and mind, the

8
most Generous and Kind ٖ ʋ ʄ has stated, ‘The fast and the Holy
Quran will intercede for people on the Day of Judgement. The fast will say,
‘O Merciful Allah ! I prevented him from eating and satisfying his desires
during the day, accept my intercession in his favour.’ The Holy Quran will say,
‘I prevented him from sleeping at night, accept my intercession for him.’ So
intercession of both will be accepted.’
(Musnad Imām Ahmad, pp. 586, vol. 2, Hadees 6637)
Reason for forgiveness
Amīr-ul-Muminīn, Sayyiduna ‘Alī ۡ ۡ ۡ ȹ has said, ‘If Allah had
intended to punish the Ummah of Muhammad ʄʋٖ He would
never have bestowed upon them Ramadan and Sūrah Al-Ikhlās.’
(Nuzha-tul-Majālis, pp. 216, vol. 1)
The Holy Prophet would dutifully worship
Dear Islamic brothers! We should worship Allah abundantly, especially
in Ramadan and do those acts that earn us the pleasure of Allah and
His Beloved Prophet ʄʋٖ . If anyone is not forgiven, even in this
merciful month, then when will he be forgive? The Beloved and Blessed Prophet
ٖ ʋ ʄ would devote himself to worship as soon as Ramadan would
arrive. The Mother of the believers, Sayyidatunā ‘Āishah Siddīqah ʝ
has said, ‘In Ramadan, the Prophet of Rahmah, the Intercessor of the
Ummah, the Owner of Jannah ٖ ʋ ʄ would devote himself to the
worship of Allah and did not use to come to his bed the whole month.’
(Ad-Dur-rul-Mansūr, pp. 449, vol. 1)
Dear Islamic brothers! We should also devote ourselves in worshipping
Allah in the entire blessed month of Ramadan for seeking the pleasure
of Allah and certainly if one attains the pleasure of Allah , he will
become successful in this world and the Hereafter, and the blessed month of
Ramadan is the best source of attaining the pleasure of Allah . Ramadan
is a blessed and sacred month in which Allah revealed the Holy Quran.
He mentions the revelation of the Holy Quran in Ramadan in these words:

9
ٰۡۤۡۡۡ ۡ ٰٰۡ ۡ
ۡ ۡۡۡۡۡ ٰۡۡ ۡ ۡ
ٰۡۡۡ ۡۡۡ ۡۡ
ٰٰٰۡۡۡۡ ۡ
Translation from Kanz-ul-Imaan: The month of Ramadan in which was sent down
the Quran - the guidance for mankind, the direction and the clear criterion
(to judge between right and wrong). So whoever among you finds this month,
must fast for the (whole) month; and whoever is sick or on a journey, may
fast the same number in other days. Allah desires ease for you and does
not desire hardship for you so that you complete the count (of fasts), and
glorify Allah as He has guided you, and so that you may be grateful.
(Part 2, Sūrah Al-Baqarah, verse 185)
Dear Islamic brothers! Like Salāh, the fasts of Ramadan are also Fard for
every (male and female) Muslim who is sane and has reached puberty. It is
stated in Durr-e-Mukhtār that fasts were declared Fard on the 10th
Sha’bān
two years after Hijrah. (Durr-e-Mukhtār ma’ Rad-dul-Muhtār, pp. 330, vol. 3)
Reason behind obligatory fasts
Most of the acts in Islam remind us of faith-refreshing Islamic and historical
events. During the Hajj, pilgrims perform Sa’ee, which is the devotional act
of walking between Safa and Marwah reminding us of Sayyidatunā Hājirah’s
ʝ walking and running between these two mountains seven times in
search of water for her Beloved son Sayyiduna Ismā’īl . Allah
loved this act so much that He made this Sunnah of Sayyidatuna Hajirah
ʝ Wājib upon all those who perform Hajj and ‘Umrah.
In the same way, the Holy Prophet ٖ ʋ ʄ spent some days of
Ramadan in seclusion in the cave of Hirā where he ʋ ʄ ٖ would

10
abstain from eating during the day and would engage himself in worshipping
Allah at night. In order to revive these glorious days, Allah made
fasting obligatory in Ramadan.
Firm conviction of a fasting person
Dear Islamic brothers! (Imagine) It is extremely hot, the throat and lips of the
fasting Muslim are dry due to thirst, though water is available, but he does
not even look at it, though food is available, but he does not extend his hand
despite extreme thirst and hunger because of his firm conviction in Allah .
He knows that apparently no one is watching him, in fact, none of his actions
is concealed from Allah . This firm faith of the fasting Muslim is the practical
outcome of fasting. Other forms of worship involve physical movements and
are visible to others but fasting is such a form of worship that none can be
aware of it, only Allah knows. Even if a person eats secretly, people will
still regard him as a fasting person, but he refrains from eating drinking for
the fear of Allah only. That is why, the fasting people will be blessed with
loads of rewards. Let’s listen to some narrations regarding the virtues of fasting.
Compensation for previous sins
Sayyiduna Abū Sa’īd Khudrī ȹ ʝ has narrated that the Beloved and Blessed
Prophet ʄʋٖ has said: ‘If anyone observes fasts in Ramadan
realising its limits and avoiding what should be avoided, this will compensate
for all his previous sins.’ (Al-Ihsān bittartīb Sahīh Ibn Hibbān, pp. 183, vol. 5, Hadees 3424)
Reward for fasting
Sayyiduna Abū Hurayrah ʝ has narrated that the Beloved and Blessed
Prophet ٖ ʋ ʄ has said: ‘For every act of piety, man is rewarded ten
to seven hundred times more. Allah said
َ‫و‬ ۡ
ِǓ ُ‫ه‬
َّ
‫ِن‬‫ا‬
َ
‫ف‬ َ‫م‬ۡ‫و‬ َّ‫الص‬
َّ
ِ‫ا‬‫ا‬
َ
‫ن‬
َ
‫ا‬ِ‫ه‬ِ‫ب‬ ۡ‫ي‬ِ‫ز‬ۡ‫ج‬
َ
‫ا‬
(Except fasting, because fasting is for Me and I will give its reward Myself).
Allah also says, ‘Man refrains from satisfying his desires and eating food
for My pleasure. There are two glad tidings for the man who fasts; one, at the
time of Iftaar [breaking the fast] and the other when he meets his Rab .

11
Allah likes the smell emanating from a fasting person’s mouth more than
the fragrance of musk.’ (Sahīh Muslim, pp. 580, Hadees 1151)
There is another saying, ‘Fasting is a shield; when any of you fasts, he should
neither utter words of indecency nor shout. If anyone else abuses him or wants
to fight him, he should say ‘I am fasting.’ (Sahīh Bukhārī, pp. 624, vol. 1, Hadees 1894)
Special reward for fasting
Dear Islamic brothers! The abovementioned blessed Ahādīs mentions several
virtues of fasting. There is a great reward for the one who observes fasts
while abiding by the Sharī’ah and Sunnah, which includes abstaining from
eating, drinking and intercourse but also refraining from committing sins.
By the grace of Allah , such a fast will compensate for all the previous
sins. The blessed Hadees which mentions the words
َ‫و‬ ۡ
ِǓ ُ‫ه‬
َّ
‫ِن‬‫ا‬
َ
‫ف‬
َ
‫ا‬‫ا‬
َ
‫ن‬ِ‫ه‬ِ‫ب‬ ۡ‫ي‬ِ‫ز‬ۡ‫ج‬
َ
‫ا‬
(the fast is for Me and I will give its reward Myself) is very noteworthy.
According to Tafsīr-e-Na’īmī, ‘Some blessed Muhaddisīn1
have read this Hadees
in the following manner
ُ
‫ا‬ ‫ا‬
َ
‫ن‬
َ
‫ا‬ِ‫ه‬ِ‫ب‬ ‫ي‬ٰ‫ز‬ۡ‫ج‬ which will then mean ‘I am its reward.’
ȹ ! i.e., the person who fasts finds Allah Himself.
Sleeping is even worship
Sayyiduna ‘Abdullāh Bin Abī Aufā ʝ has narrated that the Beloved
and Blessed Prophet ٖ ʋ ʄ has said: ‘The sleep of a fasting person is
worship, his silence is Tasbīh [glorification of Allah ], his prayers are
answered and his deeds are accepted.’ (Shu’ab-ul-Īmān, pp. 415, vol. 3, Hadees 3938)
ȹ ! Did you see how fortunate a fasting person is? His sleep is worship,
his silence is Tasbīh (glorification of Allah ) and his Du’as and virtuous
deeds are accepted by Allah .

Tasbīh (glorification) of the organs
The Mother of the believers, Sayyidatunā ‘Āishah Siddīqah ʝ has
narrated that the Prophet of Rahmah ٖ ʋ ʄ has said: ‘If anyone is in
the state of fast in the morning, the doors of the sky are opened for him, his
organs make Tasbīh [glorification of Allah ] and the angels in the first sky
pray for his forgiveness until sunset. If he offers one or two Rak’āt Salāh, they
become Nūr for him in the skies. The Heavenly maidens who will be his wives,
they say, ‘O Allah send him to us, we are eager to see him.’ If he recites

, then seventy thousand angels continue
writing rewards for him until sunset.’ (Shu’ab-ul-Īmān, pp. 299, vol. 3, Hadees 3591)
ȹ ! Look how fortunate a fasting person is! The doors of the sky are
opened for him and the angels of the first sky pray for his forgiveness until
sunset. If he offers Salāh it will be light for him in the sky and the big eyed
heavenly maidens will be appointed and will be eagerly waiting for him.
Further, if he says

, seventy thousand

Dining mat made of gold
Sayyiduna ‘Abdullāh Ibn ‘Abbās ȹ ʝ has narrated that the Beloved
and Blessed Prophet ٖ ʋ ʄ has stated: ‘On the Day of Judgement, a
dining-mat made of gold will be laid for the fasting people whilst other people
will be waiting for their accountability.’
(Kanz-ul-‘Ummāl, pp. 214, vol. 8, Hadees 23640)

13
Heavenly fruits
Sayyiduna ‘Alī ȹ ۡ ۡ ۡ has narrated that the Greatest and Holiest
Prophet ٖ ʋ ʄ has said: ‘The one whose fast prevents him from
eating or drinking what he desires, Allah will make him eat heavenly fruits
and quench him with heavenly drinks.’ (Shu’ab-ul-Īmān, pp. 410, vol. 3, Hadees 3917)
Immeasurable reward
Sayyiduna Ka’b-ul-Ahbār ʝ has reported: ‘On the Day of Judgement
an announcement will be made, ‘every man will reap what he sowed (he will
be rewarded equal to his deeds) except those of the Quran (i.e. scholars of
the Quran) and those who observed fast; they will be given reward beyond
measure.’ (Shu’ab-ul-Īmān, pp. 413, vol. 3, Hadees 3928)
Dear Islamic brothers! In the Hereafter, we will reap whatever we are sowing in
the world. Scholars and fasting people are very fortunate as they will be
granted immeasurable rewards on the Day of Judgement.
Heavenly door
Sayyiduna Sahl Bin ‘Abdullāh ʝ has narrated that the beloved and
Blessed Rasūl ٖ ʋ ʄ has said: ‘There is a door in Heaven called
Rayyān. On the Day of Judgement, this door will be opened for those who
observe fast (in the world); no one else will be allowed to enter through this
door. It will be announced, ‘Where are the people who used to fast?’ They
will stand up and no one else will be allowed to enter through this door. It
will be closed after they enter Heaven.’ (Sahih Bukhārī, pp. 625, vol. 1, Hadees 1896)
Dear Islamic brothers! ȹ ! How fortunate the fasting Muslims are!
They will be given great honour on the Day of Judgement. There will also be
other fortunate Muslims entering Heaven, but these Muslims will be given
the privilege of entering through the door called ‘Rayyān.’
Remember! Fasting is a great excellence and good fortune, but missing a
fast is also a source of deprivation and great misfortune, as Sayyiduna Jābir
ʝ reports: The Blessed and Beloved Rasool ٖ ʋ ʄ has

14
stated: ‘The one who got the month of Ramadan and did not fast, he is a
cruel person.’ (Al-Mu’jam-ul-Awsat, vol. 3, pp. 62, Hadees 3871)
Loss of missing one fast
Dear Islamic brothers! As there are countless blessings and benefits of fasting,
there are also severe warnings for missing a single fast of Ramadan without a
valid reason of Sharī’ah. If anyone misses a single fast in Ramadan deliberately
without a valid reason he will not be able to make up for it even if he continues
fasting for the rest of his life. Sayyiduna Abū Hurayrah ʝ has narrated
that the Holy Prophet ٖ ʋ ʄ has said: ‘Anyone who misses one fast
in Ramadan without a valid reason or without illness cannot make up for it
even if he fasts for the rest of his life.’ (Sahīh Bukhārī, pp. 638, vol. 1, Hadees 1934)
This means that he can never earn the blessings that lie in the fasts of Ramadan.
Therefore, we must not deprive ourselves of this great blessing due to
heedlessness. People who fast and then break it without a valid reason must
fear the wrath of Allah .
Disgrace
Sayyiduna Abū Hurayrah ʝ has narrated that Rasūlullāh ٖ ʋ ʄ
has said: ‘May the person who hears me being mentioned but does not recite
Salāt upon me, be disgraced! May the person who finds Ramadan but is not
forgiven before it leaves, be disgraced! May the person who has old parents
but does not enter Heaven by (respecting and serving) them, be disgraced!’
(Musnad Imām Ahmad, pp. 61, vol. 3, Hadees 7455)
Dear Islamic brothers! We too should dedicate ourselves in performing
abundant acts of worship in order to seek the reward of blessings and favours
of this sacred month from the blessed court of Allah the most Gracious
and the most Merciful. Life is too short; instead of wasting the sacred moments
of Ramadan, recite the Glorious Quran, recite Zikr Durood and devote
yourselves in other virtuous deeds.

15
Seek spiritual pleasure in I’tikaaf
Let us receive the privilege of observing I’tikaf for the whole month of Ramadan
or at least the last 10 days Sunnah I’tikaaf which is held under Dawat-e-Islami,
a global, non-political movement for the propagation of Quran and Sunnah in
order to awaken the enthusiasm of truly honouring the blessed month of
Ramadan, thereby receiving great blessings and refraining from sins.
The Mother of the believers, Sayyidatunā ‘Āishah Siddīqah ʝ has
narrated the following fragrant saying of the Beloved and Blessed Prophet
ٖ ʋ ʄ :
ُ
‫غ‬ ‫ا‬ً‫اب‬ َ‫س‬ِ‫ت‬ۡ‫ِح‬‫ا‬ َّ‫و‬ ‫ا‬
ً
‫ان‬َ‫م‬ۡ‫ِي‬‫ا‬

َ
‫ق‬
َ
‫ت‬ ‫ا‬َ‫م‬ ُ َ
‫ل‬َ‫ر‬ِ‫ف‬
Translation: Whoever did I’tikaaf with faith in order to earn reward, all of his
previous sins will be forgiven. (Al-Jāmi’-us-Saghīr, pp. 516, Hadees 8480)
I’tikaaf for the entire month
The Beloved and Blessed Prophet ٖ ʋ ʄ would always try his best to
gain the pleasure of Allah . He ٖ ʋ ʄ would abundantly worship
especially in Ramadan. As Laylatul-Qadr is hidden in Ramadan, the Prophet of
Rahmah, the Intercessor of the Ummah ٖ ʋ ʄ once observed I’tikaaf
for the entire month in order to search for this blessed night.
Sayyiduna Abū Sa’īd Khudrī ʝ has narrated, ‘Once the Noble Rasool
ٖ ʋ ʄ observed I’tikaaf from the 1st
of Ramadan to the 20th
and then
said, ‘In search of Layla-tul-Qadr, I spent the first ten days of Ramadan in
I’tikaaf, and then the middle ten days, then I was told that it is in the last ten
days. Therefore, whoever amongst you wishes to observe I’tikaaf with me
should do so.’ (Sahīh Muslim, pp. 594, Hadees 1167)
Dear Islamic brothers! If possible, observe I’tikaaf for the entire month of
Ramadan every year. If not possible, observe I’tikaaf in the last ten days of
Ramadan at least once in your life. Staying in the Masjid is a great blessing, a
Mu’takif is so fortunate that he stays in the Masjid leaving all his activities in
order to gain the pleasure of Allah .

16
Fatawā ‘Alamgīrī states, ‘The benefits of I’tikaaf are obvious, when a person
observes I’tikaaf, he completely devotes himself to worship for the pleasure
of Allah , giving up all worldly affairs and activities that obstruct him in
attaining the pleasure of Allah . All of his time is spent in Salāh, either
physically or spiritually, because the primary purpose of observing I’tikaaf is to
wait for Salāh with Jamā’at and the reward of waiting for Salāh is like offering
Salāh. A Mu’takif resembles the angels who do not disobey Allah and
obeys every command of His, he resembles those who glorify Allah day
and night and never get tired of doing so.’ (Fatāwā ‘Ālamgīrī, pp. 212, vol. 1)
Sayyiduna ‘Ataa Khurāsānī ‫ہ‬ has said: A Mu’takif is like the person
who comes to the court of Allah and says, ‘O Allah, my glorious Rab !
I won’t leave until You forgive me.’ (Shu’ab-ul-Īmān, pp. 426, vol. 3, Hadees 3970)

Reward without performing deeds
Dear Islamic brothers! The blessed act of I’tikaaf brings numerous benefits
and out of all these benefits and virtues, the major advantage is that a
Muslim remains protected from sins. As long as a Muslim is in the Masjid, he
refrains from sins especially those sins which he would commit if he had not
observed I’tikaaf. It is a special mercy of Allah that the Mu’takif will even
receive those rewards of such righteous deeds that he used to do outside the
Masjid but now can no longer perform them due to I’tikaaf. It is as if he is still
performing them, and their reward will be recorded for him. For example, if
an Islamic brother used to visit the sick, but cannot do that now due to
I’tikaaf, he will still get its reward.
Sayyiduna ‘Abdullāh Ibn ‘Abbās ȹ ʝ has narrated the following saying
of the Holy Prophet ʄ ٖ ʋ :

17
‫ا‬َ‫ه‬

Translation: A Mu’takif remains safe from sins and the reward of righteous
deeds is given to him as given to their doers.
(Sunan Ibn Mājah, pp. 365, vol. 2, Hadees 1781)
Sayyiduna Hasan Basrī ۡ ȹ has narrated, ‘A Mu’takif is granted the
reward of performing Hajj every day.’ (Shu’ab-ul-Īmān, pp. 425, vol. 3, Hadees 3968)
Introduction of Faizan-e-Ramadan
Dear Islamic brothers! The supreme excellences of ‘I’tikaaf’ that you have
heard, are extracted from the remarkable book called ‘Faizan-e-Ramadan’
authored by Shaykh-e-Tareeqat, Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat , the
founder of Dawat-e-Islami. This unique book contains the important aspects
related to Ramadan-ul-Mubaarak such as ‘Excellence of Ramadan-ul-Mubarak’,
‘Excellence and laws of observing fasts’, ‘Rulings on Taraweeh’, ‘Laws related
to Sahree Iftaar’, ‘Information about I’tikaaf, Sadaqah Fitr’ including
rulings and laws of ‘Eid-ul-Fitr. As fasting is obligatory upon us, therefore it is
necessary to learn the laws and rulings of it, and Faizan-e-Ramadan is a
collection of all these general laws and rulings. Therefore, Islamic brothers
should go through this book and if possible, they should buy and give other
Islamic brothers as well, furthermore, keep a copy of this book at home for
Islamic sisters to also read and benefit from it and also learn the rulings and
much more correct information regarding the sacred month of Ramadan.
ˠ ȹ It will be a source of a treasure of rewards for you.

Dear Islamic brothers! ȹ On behalf of Dawat-e-Islami, a global non-
political movement for the propagation of Quran and Sunnah, congregational
I’tikaaf are held at various cities in different countries in which a proper
training schedule is presented on behalf of Majlis-e-Shura. This is the brief
introduction to Dawat-e-Islami’s congregational I’tikaaf:

18
2 to 3 years prior to the inception of Dawat-e-Islami, in the blessed month of
Ramadan, Shaykh-e-Tareeqat, Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat observed
I’tikaaf alone in the Noor Masjid Kaghazi Bazar Meethadar Bab-ul-Madinah
(Karachi) where he used to lead the prayer, then in the following year,
2 Islamic brothers joined him thorough his individual effort of making
their minds and by the blessings friendly attitude of Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat
this number reached 28 brothers; the fame of this
congregational I’tikaaf grew far and wide.
ȹ Dawat-e-Islami was established in the same year and the first
congregational I’tikaaf under Dawat-e-Islami was conducted in the first and
foremost Madani Markaz Gulzar-e-Habeeb Masjid (Gulistan-e-Okarvi, Bab-ul-
Madinah, Karachi) joined by 60 Islamic brothers under the guidance and
patronage of Shaykh-e-Tareeqat, Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat and
up until today, this congregational I’tikaaf has not only been conducted in
Pakistan but is also set up in different countries, thus, this whole month
congregational I’tikaaf and the last 10-days Sunnah I’tikaaf are arranged in
numerous Masaajid throughout the world in which thousands of Islamic
brothers participate in and learn Islamic knowledge and the blessed Sunnah
along with other worships; in addition, many Mu’takifeen travel in Madani
Qafilahs at the end of this blessed month on the night of the new moon with
lovers of the Beloved Rasool ٖ ʋ ʄ to learn the blessed Sunnah.
There are too many blessings to be gained in a congregational I’tikaaf.
The Noblest Prophet in my dream
An Islamic brother who lives in Mittiyan (Khariyan, Punjab, Pakistan) has
stated: Like other modern youngsters, I would also watch films and dramas.
Luckily, in the last ten days of Ramadan, I was blessed with the privilege of
taking part in the congregational I’tikaaf with the lovers of the Beloved
Rasool ٖ ʋ ʄ . How blessed is the company of the lovers of the
Beloved Rasool ٖ ʋ ʄ ! It was the first time in my life that I saw
such a fragrant Madanī environment. I developed an overwhelming liking for
Dawat-e-Islami in my heart. I always wished to behold the Prophet of Rahmah,
the Intercessor of the Ummah, the Owner of Jannah ʄ ٖ ʋ . During

19
I’tikaaf I used to make Du’ā every day to be privileged with seeing the Beloved
Rasūl ٖ ʋ ʄ .
On the 27th
night, an Ijtimā’-e-Żikr-o-Na’at was held. During the Żikr of Allah
I was overcome with great enthusiasm. Then it was time for the highly
emotional and tearful Du’ā. I closed my eyes and wept as I repeated the same
words over and over again: ‘O Beloved and Blessed Rasūl ʄ ٖ ʋ ,
privilege me with seeing you.’ Suddenly, there was a bright flash of light in
my eyes, and then I saw a bright face. I was sure that this was the blessed
face of the Holy Prophet ٖ ʋ ʄ . This beautiful and blessed face then
disappeared.
ȹ ! A Madanī transformation took place in my heart. I repented of
my sins, grew my beard and made the intention to adorn my head with a green
turban. ȹ , on the day of ‘Eid, I travelled with a three day Madanī
Qāfilah with the lovers of the Beloved Rasool ٖ ʋ ʄ . At present, I
am doing Dars-e-Niẓāmī in Jāmi’a-tul-Madīnah (Bāb-ul-Madīnah, Karachi). I
have also completed the Ta’wīżāt-e-‘Attāriyyah course and the Majlis-e-
Maktūbāt-o-Ta’wīżāt-e-‘Attāriyyah has given me the duty to give Ta’wīzāt to
people. Furthermore, in Jāmi’a-tul-Madīnah I am a Zimmahdar (responsible
Islamic brother) for Madanī Qāfilahs in my class.

Summary of Bayan (speech)
Dear Islamic brothers! Have you heard the glory of the blessed month of
Ramadan that Jannah is decorated and adorned the whole year to welcome
the month of Ramadan and the doors of Jannah are opened for the fasting
people of the Ummah of Muhammad ٖ ʋ ʄ . The Blessed and
Beloved Rasool ٖ ʋ ʄ would convey glad tidings of the arrival of
Ramadan and would congratulate the blessed Sahaabah ʝ . On the
Day of Judgement, the blessed fast and Glorious Quran would intercede. The
Beloved and Blessed Prophet ٖ ʋ ʄ would dedicate himself to
worships as soon as the sacred month of Ramadan would arrive.
The greatest characteristic of this blessed month is that the Glorious Quran
was revealed in this month. Allah has made fasts obligatory upon the
Ummah of Muhammad ٖ ʋ ʄ in this blessed month. Observing
fasts is such kind of worship, Allah says: Sawm [fast] is for Me and I will
give reward for it, Myself. The limbs of a fasting person make Tasbeeh
(glorification of Allah ), his Du’as are answered and even his sleep is
regarded as one of worship. On the Day of Judgement, a dining-mat made of
gold will be spread out for fasting people whilst other people will be waiting
for their accountability. The fasting people will also enter through a special
door named ‘Rayyan’; only fasting people will enter Jannah through this door.
The blessed night of Layla-tul-Qadr has been made hidden in Ramadan which
is better than a thousand months. I’tikaaf is aimed to seek this blessed night.
The one who observes I’tikaaf in the state of Imaan with the intention of
attaining reward, all his previous sins are forgiven. A Mu’takif, being in the

21
Masjid, remains safe from sins but he will also attain the reward of all those
acts in I’tikaaf which he used to do when out of the Masjid. May Allah
privilege us to observe I’tikaaf for obtaining abundant blessings.

Introduction to Dar-ul-Ifta Ahl-e-Sunnat
ȹ ! There are 96 departments of Dawat-e-Islami working for the
propagation of Sunnah and calling towards righteousness. One of them is also
‘Dar-ul-Ifta Ahl-e-Sunnat’ an important department of Dawat-e-Islami. On
page 21 of the 102-page book ‘Ilm-o-Hikmat kay 125 Madani Phool’, published
by Maktaba-tul-Madinah, the publishing department of Dawat-e-Islami,
Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat has stated: An Islamic brother, associated
with a Deeni Madrasah told me, ‘If any poorly educated person turns up in our
seminary and inquires about any ruling then he is reprimanded sometimes over
his way of describing or way of writing, for example, they are said: Where did
you get education from! You have no manner of writing a question! etc., thus
these people lose trust, feel dissatisfied and are uncared for.’
When Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat became aware of this, he felt
hurt and said, ‘We shall open 12 Dar-ul-Ifta ˠȹ ’ and the dream of
Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat came true on 15 Sha’ban 1421 when
Dar-ul-Ifta Ahl-e-Sunnat started working in Jami’ Masjid, Kanz-ul-Iman, Babri
Chowk Bab-ul-Madinah Karachi, under the authority of Dawat-e-Islami, a global
non-political movement for the propagation of Quran and Sunnah. ȹ ,
up to now, 4 Dar-ul-Ifta Ahl-e-Sunnat are working in Bab-ul-Madinah Karachi,
besides that, Dar-ul-Ifta Ahl-e-Sunnat are also serving the grieved Ummah of
the Beloved and Blessed Prophet ٖ ʋ ʄ in Zamzam Nagar
(Hyderabad), Sardarabad (Faisalabad), Markaz-ul-Awliya (Lahore), Rawalpindi
and Gulzar-e-Tayyibah (Sargodha). Apart from this, the Islamic brothers of
‘Dar-ul-Ifta Online’, an online department, working under ‘Majlis Ifta’, are

22
carrying out this responsibility with great care at a global scale by immediately
responding to questions via phone internet, from Muslims throughout the
world. ȹ Islamic brothers connected to this department answer
hundreds of questions daily. Questions can also be asked through email
(darulifta@Dawat-e-Islami.net) from anywhere in the world. People from all
over the world can contact this department on the following numbers for
immediately seeking Shar’ee guidance.
0300-0220113 – 03000220112
0300-0220115 – 03000220114
People can contact us on these numbers from 10 am to 4 pm (Pakistan
standard time) daily (except Sunday).
Take part in 12 Madani activities
Dear Islamic brothers! Keep associating yourselves with the Madani environment
of Dawat-e-Islami and take part in the 12 Madani activities of Zayli Halqahs.
Madrasa-tul-Madinah Baalighan (adults Islamic brothers) is also one of the 12
Madani Zayli activities in which free education of the Glorious Quran is
provided and learning and teaching the Quran is considered as one of the
greatest and noblest acts.

ȹ In view of importance and the need of learning and teaching the
Glorious Quran and for disseminating the teachings of Glorious Quran,
thousands of Madaaris-ul-Madinah Baalighan for Islamic brothers are
conducted at various Masaajid etc., under Dawat-e-Islami and thousands of
Madaaris-ul-Madinah Baalighaat for Islamic sisters are conducted in different
timings at different places. Islamic brothers teach Islamic brothers and Islamic

23
sisters teach Islamic sisters. Various Du’as are memorised along with teaching
learning the Glorious Quran with proper pronunciations, learning rulings
about Salah and attaining free education of the Sunnah. So, you too should
take part in Madrasa-tul-Madinah Baalighaan for improving your world and
the Hereafter.
Dear Islamic brothers! In conclusion, I take this opportunity to mention the
excellence of a Sunnah as well as some Sunan and manners. The Prophet of
Rahmah, the Intercessor of the Ummah ʄʋٖ has said, ‘He who
loves my Sunnah, loves me, and he who loves me will be with me in Paradise.’
(Ibn ‘Asakir, vol. 9, pp. 343)

Wearing shoes: 7 Madani pearls
1. There is a blessed saying of the Noble Prophet ٖ ʋ ʄ , ‘Wear
shoes amply for it is as if one is on a ride (that is, he does not tire much)
as long as he is wearing shoes.’ (Sahih Muslim, pp. 1161, Hadis 2096)
2. Clean out the shoes before wearing them so that any insects or stones
are removed.
3. First put on the right shoe then the left. When taking them off, take off
the left one first then the right.
4. Men should only wear men’s shoes and women should only wear
women’s shoes.
5. Sadr-ush-Shari’ah, Badr-ut-Tariqah, ‘Allamah Maulana Mufti Muhammad
Amjad ‘Ali A’zami ȹ ۡ has stated, ‘Women should not wear
men’s shoes. Furthermore, all those things which differentiate the two
genders are not allowed for the opposite, whether it is the action or

24
appearance. Neither men should adopt feminine styles nor should
women adopt masculine styles.’
(Bahar-e-Shari’at, pp. 65, vol. 16)
6. When you sit down, remove the shoes as this gives comfort to the feet.
7. One of the causes of destitution is to leave the shoe lying upside down
when found like that. If you see a used shoe upside down, put it upright.
To learn various Sunan, obtain the following books, Bahar-e-Shari’at 16
comprising of 312 pages and Sunnate aur Aadaab, comprising of 120 pages,
both published by Maktaba-tul-Madinah, the publishing department of Dawat-
e-Islami. One of the best ways to learn Sunan is to travel with the Madani
Qafilahs of Dawat-e-Islami with the lovers of the Beloved Prophet.
