Love of the Prophet ﷺ and Daily Sunnahs

 Summary of the Bayan

Dear Islamic brothers! In today's Bayan, we have heard about the beauty of Beloved Mustafa صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has not created anyone more beautiful than the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم, even the shadow of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم was not made because for such a unique personality there should be such uniqueness. To what extent Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ loves His Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم can be judged by this, therefore if we want to attain the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم we should associate ourselves with the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami. آمِیْن لِلّٰہِ عَزَّوَجَلَّ, through the blessings of the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami, one will get into the habit of performing good deeds abundantly, hating sins, being steadfast on the Sunnah and worshiping Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ more and more, اِنْ شَآءَ اللّٰہُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ.

Take part in the 12 Madani activities

Dear Islamic brothers! We should also actively participate in the 12 Madani activities of Zayli Halqahs in order to perform good deeds, be safe from sins, and protect others from sins and to spread the call to righteousness. The Madani activity of the weekly Madani Muzakarah is one of the 12 Madani activities of the Zayli Halqah. To convey the Madani pearls of wisdom to people, to train them, and to impart Islamic knowledge to them were the practices of our pious saints. There are a large number of pious saints who from time to time would manage to impart Islamic knowledge to people in different manners in order to spread Islamic knowledge and provide guidance to them. The benefit of Islamic scholars, the company of perfect saints, the effect of their speeches and the beauty of their characters have become a source of guidance for thousands of people.

Madani parable

A preacher of Dawat-e-Islami from Khanpur (Punjab, Pakistan) has stated: 'A Sunnah-Inspiring Madani Qafilah came to our city from Bab-ul-Madinah Karachi.

Along with the participants of the Madani Qafilah, I was also privileged to take part in the area visit to call people towards righteousness. Gathering people outside a tailor shop we presented the 'call to righteousness'. When the speech ended, a young worker from the shop said, 'I am a non-Muslim. Your 'call to righteousness' has made a profound impact on my heart. Please make me a Muslim.' اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰہِ عَزَّوَجَلَّ, he then embraced Islam.

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 صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم has said, 'He who loves my Sunnah, loves me, and he who loves me will be with me in Jannah.'

(Ibn 'Asakir, vol. 9, pp. 343)

سینہ تری ُسنَّت کا مدینہ بنے آقا

 جنّت میں پُڑوسی مجھے اپنا تم بنا

Entering and leaving the home: 12 Madani pearls

1.      When leaving the home, recite this Du'a:

بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ تَوَکَّلْتُ عَلَی اللّٰہِ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّۃَ اِلَّا بِاللّٰہِ

With the name of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, I have put my trust in Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, there is neither power nor strength without Him.

(Sunan Abi Dawood, vol. 4, pp. 420, Hadees 5095)

اِنْ شَآءَاللّٰہُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ!  By the blessings of reciting this Du'a, the person who recited it will remain on the right path and will be safe from calamities besides being blessed with Divine help.

2.      Du'a before entering the home:

اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنّیْ اَسْأَلُکَ خَیْرَ الْوَلَاجِ وَ خَیْرَ الْمَخْرَجِ بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ وَلَجْنَا وَ بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ خَرَجْنَا وَ عَلَی اللّٰہِ رَبِّنَا تَوَکَّلْنَا

O Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, I ask You for the goodness of coming and exiting. We entered (the home) with the name of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and exited (the home) with the name of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and we put our trust in Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, our Rab عَزَّوَجَلَّ.

(ibid, Hadees 5096)

After reciting this Du'a, make Salaam to the household, and present Salaam to the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم. Then recite Surah Al-Ikhlas. There will be blessings in your sustenance and the house will be protected from disputes, اِنْ شَآءَاللّٰہُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ.

3.      Make Salaam to the Mahram and Mahrimaat (e.g. the mother, the father, the brother, the sister, children and the wife etc.).

4.      If anyone enters the home without mentioning the name of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, e.g. without saying بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ, Satan also enters with him.

5.      If one enters a house where no one is present (even one's own home) he should say:

اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَیْنَا وَ عَلٰی عِبَادِ اللّٰہِ الصّٰلِحِیْنَ

Salaam be upon us and the righteous bondmen of Allah.

The angels will reply to this Salaam.

(Radd-ul-Muhtar, vol. 9, pp. 682)

 One can also say the following:

اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَیْکَ اَیُّهَا النَّبِیُّ

O Nabi صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم Salaam be upon you.

The sacred and blessed soul of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم is present in the homes of Muslims.

(Sharh Ash-Shifa lil-Qaari, vol. 2, pp. 118)

6.      Before you enter someone's home, say السَّلَامُ عَلَیْکُم! May I come in?'

7.      If permission for entry is not given, return happily without getting annoyed. Perhaps they may not have given permission due to some compulsion.

8.      When someone knocks on your door, it is a Sunnah to ask who it is. The person who knocked should tell his name, for example, Muhammad Ilyas. Instead of telling the name, saying such things as Madinah! 'It's me', 'open the door' etc. is not a Sunnah.

9.      After you have mentioned your name, stand at a side so that you do not look inside the house as soon as the door opens.

10.  It is prohibited to glance into someone's home. Some houses are higher than the other adjoining ones. Therefore, those living in higher houses should take great care when looking out from the balcony or window of their house.

11.  When you go to someone's home, do not unnecessarily criticize their home arrangements, as this could be hurtful to them.

12.  When leaving, make Du'a for the household, thank them, make Salam, and gift them with a Sunnah-Inspiring booklet, if possible.

To learn various Sunan, obtain the following books, Bahar-e-Shari'at part 16 comprising of 312 pages and Sunnatayn 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 in the Madani Qafilahs of Dawat-e-Islami with the lovers of the Beloved Prophet.
