Translation: I have made the intention of Sunnah Itikaf.
Whenever you enter a Masjid, upon remembering, make the intention of Nafl
Itikaf because as long as you stay in the Masjid you will keep obtaining the
reward of Nafl (supererogatory) Itikaf, and eating, drinking and sleeping will
also become permissible for you in the Masjid.
The Greatest and Holiest Prophet
has stated: The one who
recites this Salat upon me, my intercession will become obligatory for him.

Dear Islamic brothers! Before listening to the Bayan, lets make good
intentions for attaining rewards. The Beloved Prophet
has
said, The intention of a believer is better than his action.
(Al-Mujam-ul-Kabeer, vol. 6, pp. 185, Hadees 5942)
The more righteous intentions one makes the greater reward he will attain.

Dear Islamic brothers! All the blessed companions # $! !" !
of Noblest
Prophet
possess the highest ranks and distinctive qualities
(after the blessed Prophets), they are the guiding stars and the closest to the
Allah
and His Beloved Prophet
, some blessed companions
# $!
!" !
are higher in rank and more excellent than others. The four Rightly
Guided Caliphs are superior to all other companions $!
. Sayyiduna
Umar Farooq-e-Azam $!
is the second caliph of the Beloved Rasool
and of Islam and he $!
embraced martyrdom on the
st
1 Muharram-ul-Haraam. Lets be privileged to listen to Sayyiduna Umar
Farooqs brightest feature of Ishq-e-Rasool (
). Here are some
verses in praise of Sayyiduna Umar Farooq-e-Azam $!
:
www.dawateislami.net
Prophet
was once very sad and grieved, went to him and
asked the servant to seek permission for my entry, the servant went in, asked
the Noblest Prophet
and then returned saying, I have spoken
to the Holy Prophet
and mentioned you but he
observed silence. I then returned and sat with a group of people sitting near
the pulpit. But I could not bear this situation and once again I said to the
servant, Will you seek permission for Umar? He went in and returned,
saying, I mentioned you to him but he
observed silence.
When I returned again the servant called me, saying, The Noblest Prophet
has given you permission.
I then entered and saw the Beloved Prophet
lying on a bed
made of stalks of date palm leaves and there was no bedding between it and
him. The stalks left marks on his side and he was leaning on a leather pillow
stuffed with date-palm fibres. I greeted him and while still standing I said
to please him, I want to talk to you and cheer you up,
O Allahs Prophet (
)? We, the people of Quraysh used to have
power over our women, but when we arrived in Madinah we found that
the men (here) were overpowered by their women. The Holiest Prophet
smiled and then I said, I approached Hafsah and said to
her, Do not be tempted to imitate your companion (Sayyidatuna Aaishah
#$
), for she is more charming than you and more beloved to the
Prophet
. The Greatest Prophet
smiled for a
second time. (Sahih Bukhari, Kitab-un-Nikah, vol. 3, pp. 460, Hadees 5191)
Dear Islamic brothers! Ponder over this parable. Sayyiduna Umar Farooq-e
Azam $!
could not tolerate the Holiest Prophet
falling into any kind of grief or sadness, therefore, he $!
intended to
$
!
cheer him up and finally he succeeded in his blessed purpose and
the Prophet of Rahmah
smiled at his efforts. Think seriously!
On the one hand we observe the state of the blessed companions # $! !" !
who become sad when they find the Noblest Prophet
grieved
5
www.dawateislami.net
and would try to please him in many ways and on the other hand is our miserable
state, our days and nights are passing in committing sins, we hurt the Blessed
and Beloved Prophet
but we do not even realize this.
Remember! Undoubtedly, the Greatest and Holiest Prophet
observes the entire situation and happenings of the people of his Ummah.
Therefore, the Noblest Prophet
has stated, My life is better
for you, you talk to me and I talk to you, and my (apparent) death is also better
for you, your deeds will be presented to me, when I will see good deeds I
will praise Allah
, when I will see bad deeds, I will ask forgiveness from
Allah
for you. (Al-Musnad-ul-Bazzaar, Hadees 1935)
% &
Hakeem-ul-Ummat, Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan Naeemi
has stated:
The Holy Prophet is aware of every action of his Ummati. The
blessed eyes of the Beloved Prophet
can view everything
whether hidden, apparent. The one whose eyes are filled with the kohl of
[Maazaagh], the speed of his gaze is beyond our thinking and imagination, he
sees everything, and the Noblest Prophet
observes
everything with his gaze. Mystics say: Here action refers to the state and
action of the heart, therefore, the Greatest Prophet
is aware
of the state of our hearts. (Mirat-ul-Manajih, Hadees 439)
Interpretation of the couplet: O my Beloved Prophet
, Allah
has made you witness to each and every particle of the universe where no
part of the universe is hidden from you, you are watching everything and you
are also watching how fearless I am in my sins, open my eyes of shame and
decency so that I may feel ashamed while committing sins. Millions of Allahs
blessings be upon the Noblest Prophet
.
Dear Islamic brothers! We have learnt that the Holy Prophet
is aware of all our actions, our virtuous deeds make him pleased and evil
www.dawateislami.net
actions sadden him. So, we should carry out more and more virtuous deeds,
recite Salat-Alan-Nabi abundantly, acting upon the Sunnah and also teach
others in order to seek the pleasure of Allah
and His Beloved Rasool
who will make intercession on the Day of Judgement for his
sinful Ummatis and would lead us to Jannah along with him.

Dear Islamic brothers! Ones love to his parents, siblings, children, wealth and
property is natural. If any person forgets any of his relative or family member
and stop loving him then it would not damage his Iman, his Iman will remain
intact because Iman does not entail their love whereas having faith in the
Noblest Prophet
, having honour and deep reverence and
having devotional love for him is ( i.e., inevitable and unpreventable
element for his Deen. So, it is of great importance for the true Muslim to have
devotion towards the Noblest Prophet
more than any
relation and any dearer thing of the world.
Dearer to everything
A beautiful Hadees is reported in Sahih Bukhari: Sayyiduna Abdullah Bin
Hishaam $!
narrated: We were sitting in the blessed company of the
Beloved Prophet
, who was holding the hand of Sayyiduna
8
www.dawateislami.net
Umar Farooq-e-Azam $!
. Sayyiduna Umar Farooq-e-Azam $!
(
humbly said,
1 ( i.e., O Prophet of Rahmah,
the Intercessor of Ummah (
)! You are dearer to me than
everything except my own self. The Noblest Prophet
said,
( O Beloved Prophet (
1
)! I swear by
Allah
, you are dearer to me than my own self.
Listening to this, the Noblest Prophet
said, ( Now,
O Umar, (your love is perfect). (Sahih Bukhari, Kitab-ul-Iman, Hadees 6632)
Dear Islamic brothers! This love is not just specific to Sayyiduna Umar
Farooq-e-Azam $!
alone but it is for each and every individual Muslim
who is alive until this world exists because the love of the Noblest Prophet
is such a thing without which our faith remains incomplete.
The Holy Prophet
said:
(
None of you can be a true believer [Mu`min] until I am dearer to him than his
father, his children and all the people. (Sahih Bukhari, pp. 17, Hadees 14, vol. 1)
Undoubtedly, a Muslim should have reverence and love for the Noblest Prophet
because it is the most priceless and valuable asset of his life.

www.dawateislami.net
Farooq-e-Azams concept of love
Dear Islamic brothers! The Holy Prophet
is our Master and
we are his humble bondsmen and no matter how great a rank somebody
gets, his true love for his Master always remains in his heart, he never forgets
his favours, he glorifies his Master in public with great pride and loves to be
his bondsman. Sayyiduna Umar Farooq-e-Azam $!
was a true lover,
one who was guaranteed Jannah and possessed a high rank amongst the
blessed companions # $! !" !
. He $!
was also proud to be a
bondsman and servant of the Beloved Prophet
.
Sayyiduna Saeed Bin Musayyab $!
narrated: When Ameer-ul
Mu`mineen Sayyiduna Umar Farooq-e-Azam $!
was appointed as
caliph, he $!
addressed them from the pulpit:
10
www.dawateislami.net
1
I have been in the blessed company of the Holy Prophet
,
therefore, I was his slave and servant. (Al-Mustadrak lil-Haakim, pp. 332)
Interpretation of couplet: I say that I am the slave and servant of my Beloved
Prophet
! It will be of great pleasure if you say: Yes you are
my bondsman.
Dear Islamic brothers! Sayyiduna Farooq-e-Azams claim of having deep
devotion towards the Noblest Prophet
was not bound to just
his lip service rather he $!
was truly a loyal and staunch follower of
the Noblest Prophet
acted upon the Sunnah
, he $!
throughout his life. But alas! We claim to be loyal to the Beloved Rasool
, that:
But our character and deeds do not reflect this. Remember! To love the Beloved
Rasool
does not mean holding congregations, making Zikr,
reciting Naat loudly or chanting slogans whilst raising our hands, remaining
awake all the night long then sleeping without offering Salat-ul-Fajr, missing
the five times Salahs even the Jumuah Salah, shaving off the beard or
keeping it to less than the length of a fist, adopting new fashions & style
whilst abandoning the Sunnah way of living, showing ill-manners and other
evils instead of treating others with courtesy; how could these actions lead to
sincere and perfect love? On the other hand true love demands that we
should acknowledge the Noblest Prophet
to be the most
11
www.dawateislami.net
Eminent and Highest Ranked of all people while fulfilling the rights, it is to be
understood in this way that we accept the Deen brought by the Beloved Rasool
, we show deep reverence to the Holy Prophet
,
everyone should maintain the pleasure of the blessed personality of the Holy
Prophet
over our family, wealth and property.
(Ashia-ul-Lamaat, Kitab-ul-Iman, vol. 1, pp. 50)
1
One of the signs of perfect and true love is also that the one who has devotion
deeply loves everything that is associated and attached with his beloved.
How remarkable and excellent is the devotional love of Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen
Sayyiduna Umar Farooq-e-Azam $!
to the most Renowned and
12
www.dawateislami.net
Revered Rasool
that he not only had true devotion to the
Holiest Prophet
but also had profound devotion and love to
the Beloveds descendants, even everything which had some Nisbah
(connection) to the Greatest Prophet
and this very thing is
required for true and sincere devotion. The blessed biography of Sayyiduna
Umar Farooq-e-Azam $!
contains plenty of beautiful parables which
reveal his profound devotional love to the Noblest Prophet
.
Lets listen to one such beautiful parable.
Allah
says in the 1st and 2nd verse of Surah Al-Balad, part 30:
J
FK D 2
AB$ 10 GH
FE D 2
AB$ # @
?
Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: I swear by this city (Makkah) For you
(O dear Prophet Muhammad) are in this city. (Part 30, Surah Al-Balad, verse 1-2)
Dear Islamic brothers! The great commentators of the Glorious Quran have
consensus upon this fact that the blessed city for which Allah
takes an
oath is Makka-tul-Mukarramah. Indicating to this blessed verse, Sayyiduna
Umar Farooq-e-Azam $!
humbly said to the Beloved and Blessed
Prophet
: Ya Rasoolallah
! May my parents be
sacrificed for you! Your exalted rank and status is so high that Allah
took
( .
an oath of sand beneath your blessed feet through

i.e., O Allah
grant me martyrdom in Your cause and let my death be in
the blessed city of Your Beloved Rasool
.
(Sahih Bukhari, vol. 1, pp. 622, Hadees 1890)
Both the Duas of Sayyiduna Umar Farooq-e-Azam $!
were answered.
May Allah
have mercy on him and may He forgive us without holding us
accountable for his sake!

Sayyiduna Abdullah Bin Umar $!
said, I cut it but it was not cut
straight but from top and bottom (of sleeves). I humbly said, Father! If it had
been cut using a pair of scissors, it would have been better? He $!
said, Son! Leave it the same because I saw the Beloved Prophet
cut in the same way. I, therefore, cut my sleeves with a knife. When Ameer-ul
Mu`mineen Sayyiduna Umar Farooq-e-Azam $!
had cut the sleeves,
the clothing was in such a poor condition that threads were falling down from
it. (Al-Mustadrak lil-Haakim, Hadees 7498)
The beloved companions # $! ! ! " !
were indeed true lovers of the Noble
Prophet
and with true devotion, love and obedience, nothing
could prevent him from acting upon the blessed Sunnah, he cut his sleeves
with a knife resulting in the cutting not being straight but he $!
did
not feel any shame wearing that clothing. This was the remarkable obedience
he had to the Noblest Prophet
indeed.
Sayyiduna Hasan Basri $!
has narrated that Sayyiduna Maqil Bin
Yasaar $!
(who was the chief of the Muslims of that area) was once
eating food when a morsel fell from his hand on the ground. He $!
picked it up, cleaned and then ate it. Seeing this, some uncivilized people
who were present over there gave him a contemptuous look. Someone said
to him, May Allah
bless our chief! O our leader! These uncivilized people
are looking scornfully at you because you have eaten a fallen morsel despite
the availability of food. Listening to this, he $!
replied, I cannot give
up what I have learnt from the Holy Prophet
merely because
of these Ajamis [non-Arabs]. If a morsel of food ever fell down, we would ask
each other to pick it up, clean and eat it, and not leave it for Satan [to
consume]. (Sunan Ibn Majah, vol. 4, pp. 17, Hadees 3278)
Dear Islamic brothers! Did you see how intensely Sayyiduna Maqil Bin Yasaar
$!
, an eminent companion, loved the Sunnah! Paying no attention to
the insulting and annoying behaviour of the Ajamis, he $!
continued
bravely to practice upon the Sunnah.
15
www.dawateislami.net
Unfortunately, some unwise Muslims these days do not grow their beards
assuming it to be a wise act in the modern era. In fact, a true wise act is to
grow a beard, wear an Imamah (turban) according to the Sunnah and carry
out ones daily routines like eating, walking etc. Completely in conformity
with the Sunnah, no matter how unfavourable the environment is, and how
severe is the criticism from the worldly people.
Furthermore, one should also strive to call people towards righteousness.
!"! '()*
+ , our mutual efforts will produce fruitful results, the truth will
prevail, Satan will be disgraced and the message of the blessed Sunnah will
spread everywhere and every house will be illuminated with the blessed
Noor of the Beloved and Blessed Prophet
.

Dear Islamic brothers! It is not the demand of love that we take deep interest
in the person we love and confine our love to him only. Instead a lover loves
everything that is related to his beloved such as his family, relatives and friends.

And by saying this he $!
also gave 1000 dirhams. He $!
received his share and left. Thereafter, Sayyiduna Imam Husayn $!
stood up and asked for his share. He $!
said, Great respect be upon
you and gave him 1000 dirhams. Then his son Sayyiduna Abdullah Bin Umar
$!
stood up and asked for his share. He $!
said, Great respect
be upon you and gave him 500 dirhams. He $!
humbly said,
O Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen! I was participating with my sword in battle with the
Beloved Prophet
even from that time when (Sayyiduna)
Hasan and Husayn (, # $! !" !
) were very young. Instead of this you have
given me 500 dirhams and to them 1000 dirhams each.
Upon hearing this, overwhelmed by devotion to the Ahl-e-Bayt he $!
said, Yes, absolutely! (If you want me to give you the share equal to them)
then go and first get the father like the father of Hasnayn Karimayn, mother
like their mother, maternal grandfather like their maternal grandfather,

that we should treat the Sadaat-e-Kiram kindly and affectionately and respect
and revere them a lot because apart from the blessed companions and the
Ahl-e-Bayt # $! !" !
Sadaat-e-Kiram also deserve reverence and honour in
connection with the Beloved Prophet
.
!"! 3!
, 4!
,
today the devotion of Sayyiduna Farooq-e-Azam to the Ahl-eBayt can be seen in his devotees as well. It is for this reason that Ameer-eAhl-e-Sunnat !
! ! ! !# ! !9 . ! 7 8 !5 6 has great reverence and respect for the Sadaat-eKiram. When meeting somebody, if Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat !
! ! ! !# ! !9 . ! 7 8 !5 6 is
told that he is a Sayyid Sahib, it has been seen many times that he, very humbly,
kisses the hand of that Sayyid Sahib. Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat !
! ! ! !# ! !9 . ! 7 8 !5 6
makes him sit beside him. He treats the sons of Sadaat-e-Kiram kindly and
affectionately; whenever things are given out are distributed, he gives them
twice the amount.
Dear Islamic brothers! The people who love Sadaat-e-Kiram are many in
number. Unfortunately there are such people as well who are unaware of the
importance and excellence of Sadaat-e-Kiram or they are lazy in serving them.
They are ready to provide every type of luxuries to their children, but for the
offspring of the Beloved Prophet i.e. Sadaat-e-Kiraam, they are hesitant to
spend even a single cent. The Beloved Prophet
has said: One
who treats any of my Ahl-e-Bayt well, I will reward him for this on the Day of
Judgement. (Al-Jami-us-Sagheer, pp. 533, Hadees 8821)
So we should treat Sadaat-e-Kiram well to make this world and Hereafter
better for us. We should continue serving them for gaining the pleasure of
Allah
and His Beloved Prophet

12 Madani activities
In order to gain further religious knowledge and to act upon Sunnahs and to
spread the call towards righteousness all over the world, participate in the
twelve Madani activities of Dawat-e-Islami. One of them is the Weekly
Ijtima.
!"! 3! , 4! , the weekly Ijtima held by Dawat-e-Islami is adorned with
the flowers of recitation of the Holy Quran, Naat, Sunnah-inspiring speeches,
highly emotive Duas with weeping, Zikr and Salat-Alan-Nabi, Madani pearls
of Salat and Salaam and Islamic knowledge. Undoubtedly, to attend such
Ijtimaaat is a means of obtaining plenty of rewards and blessings. The weekly
Sunnah-inspiring Ijtima begins after Salat-ul-Maghrib with the recitation of
Surah Al-Mulk; blessed Naat is recited after the recitation of the Holy Quran,
then Sunnah-inspiring speech is delivered. Zikr of Allah
is also done in
the weekly Sunnah-inspiring Ijtima.
After Zikr, Dua is also made, nobody knows as to how many peoples Duas
are answered and how many sinful people become people of good character.
Let me relate a Madani parable to you.
Madani parable
An Islamic brother of Bab-ul-Madinah, Karachi has stated: Which sins of mine
should I mention! Allah
forbid, not offering Salah, playing computer
games, watching obscene programmes on television every day, lying and
even stealing were some of the sins I used to commit fearlessly.
Luckily, in the last ten days of Ramadan in 1421 A.H. 2000, I was blessed with
the privilege of taking part in the congregational Itikaf with some lovers of
the Beloved Rasool
of Dawat-e-Islami in Jaami Masjid
Aaminah, situated in Shakeel Garden, Aukhai complex, Bab-ul-Madinah, Karachi.
After the congregational Itikaf, I joined the Madrasa-tul-Madinah that was

the guidance of the Nigran of my Zayli Mushawarat.
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
has said, He who
loves my Sunnah, loves me, and he who loves me will be with me in Jannah.
