Stop eating and drinking It is observed that people generally rely on the Ażān and
sirens to stop eating due to ignorance. Many continue to eat even during the
Fajr Ażān. In order to solve this problem it will be very useful to make the
following announcement every day in a loud voice in Ramadan in every Masjid,
three minutes before dawn:
First say,
صَلُّوْا
عَلَی الْحَبِیْب صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلٰی مُحَمَّد
Then say the following three times:
‘O fasting people! The ending time of Saḥarī is (for example) 4:12 a.m. today.
The time is about to end. Stop eating and drinking instantly. Do not wait for
the Ażān. The Ażān is uttered for the Fajr Ṣalāh after the Saḥarī time ends.’
Everyone must keep it mind that the Fajr Ażān is uttered after the Saḥarī time
has ended and it is not uttered for closing fast but for the Fajr Ṣalāh.
صَلُّوْا
عَلَی الْحَبِیْب صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلٰی مُحَمَّد
Intention to travel with Madanī Qāfilah eased difficulty Dear Islamic brothers! Please travel in the company of devotees of Rasūl with the Madanī Qāfilahs of Dawat-e-Islami, a global & non-political religious movement of the Quran and Sunnah. اِنْ شَـآءَ اللہ عَزَّوَجَلَّ This will bring you great blessings in the world as well as in the Hereafter.
Here is a faith-refreshing statement
of an Islamic brother from Landhi (Bāb-ul-Madīnah, Karachi) about the blessing
of a Madanī Qāfilah. He has stated: The marriage of my older brother had
approached but we were worried as we did not have enough money to afford the
expenses of the marriage. I didn’t want to borrow money as it could damage the
prestige of my beloved Madanī movement Dawat-e-Islami (in case of delay in
paying the debt).
One day, I was in extreme anguish.
Having offered Ẓuhr Ṣalāh I made the intention that ‘If the problem of the
shortage of money is solved I’ll travel with a Madanī Qāfilah.’ After finishing
my Ṣalāh I met people in the Masjid. While I was busy with making individual
effort, the Imām, who was also my uncle and was aware of my difficulty, called
me and promised to provide money for the expenses of the marriage, اَلْحَمْدُلِلّٰہ عَزَّوَجَلَّ. I travelled with a
Madanī Qāfilah on the very next day, اَلْحَمْدُلِلّٰہ
عَزَّوَجَلَّ. I was relieved of my worries just for making the intention to
travel with a Madanī Qāfilah. When the date of the wedding was set we were in
debt but now we have not only got rid of the burden of debt, but my brother’s
marriage has also taken place properly, اَلْحَمْدُلِلّٰہ
عَزَّوَجَلَّ.
صَلُّوْا
عَلَی الْحَبِیْب صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلٰی مُحَمَّد
Dear Islamic brothers! Did you see!
The problem of the shortage of money was solved, debt was paid and marriage
also took place due to the blessings of a younger brother’s intention to travel
with a Madanī Qāfilah.
Relief from debts After every Ṣalāh, recite Sūrah Quraish seven times (with
Ṣalāt-'Alan-Nabī once before and after it) and make supplication, even huge
debt will get paid, اِنْ شَـآءَ اللہ عَزَّوَجَلَّ.
Continue to recite it until the debt is paid.
Invocation for relief from debts اَللّٰھُمَّ اکْفِنِیْ بِحَلَالِکَ
عَنْ حَرَامِکَ وَأَغْنِنِیْ بِفَضْلِکَ عَمَّنْ سِوَاکَ Translation: Yā
Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ grant me lawful
sustenance and save me from that which is unlawful and make me independent of
everyone apart from You, with Your grace.
(With Ṣalāt-'Alan-Nabī once before and after it) Recite it eleven times after every Ṣalāh and hundred times every morning and evening until the debt is paid.
According to a narration, once a Mukātab A slave who has signed a contract
with his owner to be set free in exchange for a payment. (Al-Mukhtaṣar-ul-Qudūrī,
Kitāb-ul-Makātīb, pp. 386) said to Sayyidunā ‘Alī كَرَّمَ
اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی وَجْھَہُ الْکَرِیْم: ‘Please help me, I cannot pay for my
release.’ He رَضِیَ اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْہُ
replied: ‘Shall I not teach you a few words the Beloved Rasūl صَلَّى اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ
taught me? Even if you owe as much money as mount Ṣīr The name of a mountain. (An-Nihāyah,
pp. 61, vol. 3) Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ
will pay (your debt) for you.’ The words are as follows:
اَللّٰھُمَّ
اکْفِنِیْ بِحَلَالِکَ عَنْ حَرَامِکَ وَأَغْنِنِیْ بِفَضْلِکَ عَمَّنْ سِوَاکَ Translation: Yā Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ
grant me lawful sustenance and save me from that which is unlawful and make me
independent of everyone apart from You, with Your grace. (Jāmi‘ Tirmiżī, pp.
329, vol. 5, Ḥadīś 3574)
A Madanī request: Before starting
this invocation, distribute at least eleven rupees Niyāz for the Īṣāl-e-Śawāb Īṣāl-e-Śawāb
refers to the act of spiritually sending the reward of virtuous deeds to the
deceased. See its details in the booklet ‘Method of Fātiḥah.’ of Ghauś-e-A‘ẓam رَحْمَةُ اللّٰهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه and at least twenty
five rupees Niyāz for the Īṣāl-e-Śawāb of Imām Aḥmad Razā Khān عَلَیْہِ رَحْمَۃُ الرَّحْمٰن in case of the
fulfilment of your desire (religious booklets etc. can also be distributed).
Definitions of morning and evening:
The duration from midnight to the glimmering of the first ray of the sun is
called ‘morning.’ From the starting of Ẓuhr time up to the sunset is called
‘evening.’
Madanī suggestion: The troubled
Islamic brothers should travel with Madanī Qāfilahs of Dawat-e-Islami in the
company of the devotees of Rasūl and make supplication. If someone cannot
travel, (for instance, Islamic sisters) they should make any male member of
their family travel on behalf of them.
Iftār One should not delay in Iftār when it is certain that the sun has set. Do not wait for any siren or Ażān. Eat or drink something instantly but eating fresh or dried dates or drinking water is Sunnah. After eating the date or drinking water recite this Du‘ā This Du‘ā is usually recited before doing Iftār but A‘lā Ḥadrat Imām-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat Maulānā Shāh Aḥmad Razā Khān عَلَیْہِ رَحْمَۃُ الرَّحْمٰن has stated in ‘Fatāwā Razawiyyah, vol. 10, pp. 631’ it should be recited after the Iftār.:
Du‘ā for Iftār اَللّٰھُمَّ اِنِّیْ لَکَ
صُمْتُ وَبِکَ اٰمَنْتُ وَعَلَیْکَ تَوَکَّلْتُ وَعَلٰی رِزْقِکَ اَفْطَرْتُ Translation:
Yā Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ I fasted for You and
I have faith in You and I put my trust in You and I do Iftār with the
sustenance given by You. (Fatāwā
‘Ālamgīrī, pp. 200, vol. 1)
Ażān is not
condition for Iftār Remember! The Ażān is not a condition for Iftār at all.
Imagine, how would the people living in far flung areas where there is no
Masājid or where the sound of Ażān does not reach, be able to do Iftār in this
situation. The Maghrib Ażān is uttered for the Maghrib Ṣalāh, not for Iftār. It
will be very appropriate if the following announcement is made thrice
immediately after the sunset.
Say it loudly only one time: Then say the following three times: ‘O fasting people! Do Iftār.’
صَلُّوْا
عَلَی الْحَبِیْب صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلٰی مُحَمَّد
