Abdullah Khayyaat returned and got to know aboutthe situation, he asked his student, Why didnt you take thecoin? For many years, he has been giving me a fake coin whichI always accepted so that he would not give it to any otherMuslim. (Ihya-ul-Uloom, V3, P77, Dar-ul-Kutubul Ilmiyyah Beirut)

What does Dawat-e-Islami want?

Dear Islamic Brothers! Did you see! Our pious saints

had the sincere feeling of respecting other Muslims. They usedto bear even their personal loss just to save other strangeMuslims from even accidental damage, whereas today, abrother is seen robbing his own brother. The worldwide non-political movement, Dawat-e-Islami wants to bring back thememories of our pious saints

. Dawat-e-Islamiremoves hatred and spreads love. Every Islamic brother shouldmake a habit of travelling with the Madan Qafilas everymonth, fill in their Madan Inaamaat card doing Fikr-e-Madina and hand it in to the relevant responsible Islamicbrother every month. With the blessing of doing so,

you will develop the spirit of respecting Muslims. If all of usrespect each other from the bottom of our heart, our society will once again become a beautiful garden ofMadina.

Three types of People are deprived of Heaven

Parents and the (blood relatives) deserve our polite

behaviour more than every one else in society but unfortunately,a little attention is paid to this matter. Some people look veryhumble and well-mannered in general public but they mistreattheir family-members. Drawing the attention of such people, Iwould mention the Hadith narrated by Sayyidun Abdullahibn Umar . Therefore, the beloved of Allah

said, Three people will not enter the Heaven: the one

who distresses his parents, the Dayyuth() and the womanwho adopts masculine style. (Majmauz Zawaaid, Hadith 13431, V8,P270, Dar-ul-Fikr Beirut)

Definition of Dayyuth

The foregoing Hadith clearly states that a dayyuth is one of

such sinners who will not enter the Heaven; a dayyuth is theperson who doesnt care about his wife's meeting strange men.Remember! Apart from other people, first cousins, uncles wife,aunts husband and sisters husband are strangers. ByShariah,there is Purdah (veil) between sister-in-law and brother-in-law.If the wife does not do Shari Purdah (veil) with them, she willbe deserving of Hell, and if the husband can stop her but he

does not do so, byShariah, he is a dayyuth that is deserving ofHell, he will initially remain deprived of the Heaven. Thedayyuth who commits this sin openly is a Fasiq-e-Mulin,unworthy of doing Imaamatand giving witness.

Dear Islamic Brothers! Make a habit of travelling regularlywith theMadan Qafilas, filling in yourMadan Inaamaatcardeveryday and submitting it every month to the relevant

responsible Islamic brother of your area. , the lethaldiseases of sins including dayyuthi will be cured for the sake ofthe Beloved Prophet .

Woman wearing Masculine Clothes is deprived of

Heaven

It is stated in a Hadith that the woman who adopts masculinestyles will be deprived of Heaven. The woman who wearsmasculine clothes, shoes, or has a masculine hairstyle also deservesthe same punishment. Often, this issue is not considered whendressing children. (Allah forbid) sometimes, the boys are

made to wear the dress of girls making them look like girls andsimilarly, girls are made to wear shirts & trousers along with ahat making them look like boys. It is a sin to get yourdaughters wear boyish dress or masculine hairstyle. Henna canbe applied on the palms and feet of the girls only, applyinghenna on the hands or feet of boys is a sin. (Raddul-muhtar v9,p522, Dar-ul-kutubul Ilmiyya Beirut)

Do not dress your children in clothes which have pictures ofliving things on them. Do not apply nail polish on children'snails and the childrens mother should never also do so becausewudu &ghuslwill not be complete.

Respect of the elder brother

Along with parents, other close relatives such as brothers and

sisters should also be respected. After the father, the grandfatherand elder brother are closer as the elder brother is like thefather. The Holy Prophet said, The right ofan elder brother upon his younger brother is like the rightwhich a father has upon his children. (Shuubul-Imaan, Hadith7929, V6, P210, Dar-ul-Kutubul Ilmiyyah Beirut)

Teach Manners to Your ChildrenParents should also pay ample attention to the fulfilment oftheir children's rights. Instead of making them modern, theyshould try to make their children follow Sunnah, learn goodmanners and keep the company of Sunnah-inspiring Madanenvironment; they should prevent them from indulging in badhabits such as watching films & dramas' participating in sinful

customs and traditions in which music is played makingpeople negligent from the remembrance of Allah .

These days, parents perhaps consider providing their childrenproper education along with any skill and expertise wherebythey could earn money as the most important right of theirchildren. Alas! the body and the clothes of the child are saved

from dirt but no effort is made for the purification of his heartand deeds. The beloved of Allah said, It isbetter for a person to teach his children manners than to giveone saa (approx. 2.75kg) in charity. (Jami Tirmidhi, Hadith 195, V3,


10/28

P38) and He also said, No father gave anythingto his child better than good manners. (Jami Tirmidhi, Hadith1959, V3, P383)

One Reason for not having a Madan Environment

at Home

Regretfully, there is no Madan environment in most of our

homes these days and we are ourselves responsible for thissituation to a great extent. Our joking & mocking, use of foul &impolite language, bad manners, fun and extreme carelessnessare the causes of this situation. Our Islamic brothers behaveothers very politely & humbly but mistreat their own family-members. Remember! Your misbehaviour is a very big hurdlein the rectification of your family. Beware! If you do notimprove your character and dont make efforts humbly andpolitely for the reformation of your family, you may end up inthe damnation of the Hell as: Allah says in the HolyQuran, Part 28, Sura Tahreem, Verse 6,

TRANSLATION KANZUL-IMAAN

Oh People who believe! Save yourselves and your familiesfrom the fire, the fuel of which is men and stones.


11/28


7

How shall we save our family members from Hell?

It is stated in Khazain-ul-Irfaan with regard to the forgoing

verse, (save yourselves and your families from the fire of Hell)by obeying Allah and His beloved Prophet ,performing worship, refraining from sins, guiding your familiestowards goodness and forbidding them from evils and byteaching them knowledge & etiquettes.

Respect of Relatives

All relatives should be treated nicely. Sayyidun Aasim narrates that the Holy Prophet of Allah said,Whoever wants a long life, increase in his sustenance andprotection from bad death, should fear Allah and treathis relatives politely. (Mustadrak, Hadith 7280, V4, P97, Dar-ul-Kutubul Ilmiyyah Beirut)

The beloved of Allah

said, The one whobreaks relations will not enter the Heaven. (Sahih Bukhari, Hadith5984, V7, P95, Dar-ul-Fikr Beirut)

Reconcile with Relatives

Dear Islamic Brothers! The people who break relations withtheir relatives on trivial matters should learn a lesson from the

foregoing narration. Such people should approach their relativesand offer reconciliation themselves with humility even if therelatives are at fault for the quarrel. However, if there is a Sharireason preventing you from reconciliation with them, so you


12/28

should refrain from doing so. With the blessings of travellingin the Madan Qafilas every month, filling in the MadanInaamaat card and handing it in to the relevant responsible

Islamic brother at the end of every Islamic month, ,for the sake of the Beloved , you will get suchspirit of respecting Muslims in your heart that all of yourdifferences and quarrels with your family & relatives will besettled and they will also join theMadanenvironment

of Dawat-e-Islami.

Excellence of Stroking the Head of an Orphan

A young boy or girl whose father has passed away is known asan orphan. As soon the boy or girl becomes adolescent (baaligh),they are no longer considered an orphan. There is great rewardfor treating the orphans kindly. The mercy to the universe, theBeloved of Allah said, The one stroking an

orphan's head for the pleasure of Allah , will get rewardfor every hair that his hand stroked, and the one treating anyorphan boy or girl generously, I and he will be together inHeaven like these (two fingers are together) (Musnad Imaam

Ahmad, Hadith 22215, V8, P272, Dar-ul-Fikr Beirut)

Stroking the head of an orphan and providing food to the poorremoves hardness of heart. The Sunnah method is to bring the

hand from the back of the head to the front, and the father of achild should bring his hand from the front of the head to theback. (Mujam al-awsat lil-Tabaraani, Hadith 1279, V1, P351, Dar-ul-FikrBeirut)


13/28

Created from a Crooked Rib

A husband should treat his wife nicely and deal with her wisely.

Our Holy Prophet said, Woman has beencreated from a rib and you cannot straighten her. If you wishto get benefit from her, you can do so with her crookedness. Ifyou try to straighten her, you will break her and breaking awoman means divorcing her. (Sahih Muslim, V1, P475, Afghanistan)

The Excellence of Gentleness towards Wife

We therefore realise that some of her habits will be displeasing,but the husband should always remain patient and tolerant.The Holy Prophet said, Amongst the truebelievers is he who possesses a nice character and is the mostgentle with his wife. (Jami Tirmizi, Hadith 2621, V4, P278, Dar-ul-Fikr Beirut)

UnmanlinessDear Islamic Brothers! Those rebuking and even beating theirwives should ponder over this blessed Hadith. To demonstrateyour power over the one who is naturally weaker than you isnot manliness, it is in fact the worst unmanliness. If the womanforgetfully makes a mistake, her husband should be lenient,patient and tolerant. As he gets many benefits from her, heshould also tolerate her foibles (mistakes).

The merciful Prophet, intercessor of Ummah, the Beloved ofAllah said, A Muslim male can never have


14/28


10

enmity for a Muslim female. He may dislike one of her habitsbut may find any other habit pleasing. (Sahih Muslim, V1, P475,Afghanistan)

Dear Islamic Brothers! With the blessings of travelling in the

Madan Qafilas every month, filling in theMadan Inaamaatcard and handing it in to the relevant responsible Islamicbrother at the end of every Islamic month, , for thesake of the Beloved domestic problems andquarrels will be settled and mutual understanding and love will

develop. There will be happiness and joy at our home and yourfamily will be blessed with a sight of beautiful Madina .

Rights of the Husband

The wife should also treat her husband in a good manner. TheHoly Prophet said, I swear by the One under

Whose Omnipotence my life is, if there are wounds, in thehusband's body from foot to head, from which pus and bloodflow, and the woman licks them, still she has not fulfilled thehusbands rights. (Musnad Imaam Ahmad, Hadith 12614, V4, P318,Dar-ul-Fikr Beirut)

Do not leave the home of even a Cruel Husband

Those women who frequently fall out with their husbands oversmall matters and go to their parents home should listenattentively and try to act upon the following blessed Hadithwith heart and soul. The Holy Prophet said,


15/28


11

And (the wife) must not leave the house of her (husband)without his permission. If she does so, until she does notrepent, Allah and His (innocent) angels send curse upon

her. Someone asked, Even if the husband is cruel? The HolyProphet replied, Even if he is cruel. (Kanzul-Ummal, Hadith 44801, V16, P114, Dar-ul-Kutubul Ilmiyyah Beirut)

The Cause of most Womens being in Hell?

Some women are extremely disobedient and ungrateful to

their husbands. If they are offended even slightly, they forgetall the previous kindnesses and favours and start cursing theirhusbands. Those women who often curse and annoy theirhusbands should repent immediately; once the Prophet ofAllah was going to the Eid-Gah on Eid day. He passed by some women and said, Oh women!Give charity as I have seen most of you in the Hell. The

women asked, Ya Rasool-Allah

! What is thereason for this? The Prophet of Allah replied, You often curse and are ungrateful to your husbands.(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith 304, V1, P123, Dar-ul-Kutubul Ilmiyyah Beirut)

The Rights of Neighbours

Dear Islamic Brothers! Everyone should treat their neighbours

nicely and respectfully unless there is a valid Shari reason.Once, a person came in the presence of the Holy Prophet

and asked, Ya Rasool-Allah !How will I know if I have done something right or wrong?


16/28


12

The Holy Prophet replied, When you hearyour neighbours saying that you have performed somethingright, indeed you have performed something right and when

you hear them saying that you have committed somethingwrong, indeed you have committed something wrong. (SunanIbn-e-Maja, Hadith 4223, V4, P479, Dar-ul-Marifa Beirut)

Highest Certificate

Allah-u-Akbar ! What great importance the neighbours

hold that your character certificate is issued through them.Unfortunately, today, the neighbours immense importance isnot considered. With the blessings of travelling in the MadanQafilas every month, filling in the Madan Inaamaat card andhanding it in to the relevant responsible Islamic brother at theend of every Islamic month, , for the sake of thebeloved Prophet , the importance of the

neighbours will develop in your hearts, you will have themindset of respecting them and , your area willbecome a garden of Madina.

Which Qualities should the Ameer-e-Qafila Possess?

An Ameer in a journey should respect and serve his companionsa lot. A blessed Hadith states, The one serving his companions

the most in a journey is the Ameer, and his companions cannever surpass him in any deed or action unless they becomemartyr. (Shuubul-Imaan, Hadith 8407, V6, P334, Dar-ul-Kutubul IlmiyyahBeirut)


17/28


13

Anything Spare should be given to Someone Else

Once, during a journey, the Holy Prophet said,

Whoever has a spare transport, should give it to the one whois without it, whoever has spare food should give it to the onewithout food and like this, he spoke of otherthings as well. Sayyidun Abu Saeed Khudri says, Inthe same way, He mentioned differentmaterialistic items until we felt that nobody has the right ofkeeping anything which is spare. (Sahih Muslim, V2, P81, Afghanistan)

You will be questioned about Your Subordinates

Not only the Ameer-e-Qafila, but everyone should also treattheir subordinates (those under you) nicely. The beloved ofAllah

said, The guardian will be questioned

about his guardianship. The king is a guardian and he will bequestioned about his people, the man is a guardian of hisfamily and will be questioned about those in his guardianship,a woman is guardian of her husbands home and she will bequestioned. (Sahih Bukhari, Hadith 2409, V2, P112, Dar-ul-KutubulIlmiyyah)

Dear Islamic Brothers! With the blessings of travelling in theMadan Qafilas every month, filling in theMadan Inaamaatcard and handing it in to the relevant responsible Islamicbrother at the end of every Islamic month, you will


18/28


14

develop the spirit of respecting and taking care of yoursubordinates and everyone will be happy with you and willbless you with Du-e-Madina.

Distribution of Duties

During the journey, the duties should be distributed amongstthe travellers instead of placing the entire burden upon theshoulders of just one person. Once, the blessed companions

were on a journey; they decided to slaughter a

female sheep. Someone took it upon himself to slaughter itwhilst another took the responsibility of skinning it. Someoneelse took the responsibility of cooking it. The Prophet of Allah said, I will collect wood for the fire. Theblessed companions said, We will do that. TheHoly Prophet said, I know that you can do itfor me but I do not like to be prominent amongst you. Allah

also does not like it.(Ithaaf-us-saadat-ul-mutaqeen, V8, P210,

Dar-ul-Kutubul Ilmiyyah Beirut)

Offer Your Seat to Somebody Else

Ifthere is shortage of seats during a bus or train journey, thosepeople sitting should not remain sitting and those peoplestanding should not remain standing for the whole journey.

Everyone should take turns to sit and thus earn reward offacing a difficulty. Sayyidun Abdullah bin Masood says that there was only one camel for three persons in thebattle of Badr, hence, Sayyidun Abu Lubaba and Sayyidun


19/28


15

Ali were with the camel of the Holy Prophet . Both say that when it was the turn of the

Prophet to walk, both of us would request the

Prophet to remain seated and that we willwalk in lieu of him. The Holy Prophet replied,You are not stronger than me and I am not indifferent to

reward. (i.e. I also need reward so why should I not walk!)(Sharh-us-Sunnah, Hadith 2680, V5, P566, Dar-ul-Kutubul Ilmiyyah Beirut)

Travel with a Madan Qafila

Dear Islamic Brothers! With the blessings of travelling in theMadan Qafilas every month, filling in theMadan Inaamaatcard and handing it in to the relevant responsible Islamicbrother at the end of every Islamic month, , for thesake of the Beloved you will develop the spiritof self-sacrifice and, with its blessing, you will Inshaa-Allah

gain the auspiciousness of performing Hajj and seeingbeautiful Madina and during these blessed journeys you willgain the auspiciousness of happily offering seats & places tothe travellers in Mina, Muzdalifa, Arafat and of course inMakkah & Madina.

Do not take up too Much Space

One should not take up too much space for his personalcomfortdistressing others at such places where people gatherin large numbers like Ijtimaaatetc. It is stated by SayyidunSahl bin Muaadh , My respected father says, Once


20/28


16

we went to participate in Jihadwith the Holy Prophet

. People took up too much space (whilst travelling)and blocked the path. The Holy Prophet sent

someone to announce, Indeed, whoever blocks paths, there isno Jihad for him (Sunan Abu Dawood, Hadith 2629, V2, P388, Dar-ul-Fikr Beirut)

It is Sunnah to Make Space for the Newcomer

It is a Sunnah for the people who are already sitting to make

space for a newcomer. It is stated by Sayyidun Waasila binKhattaab that a person came to the Holy Prophet . He was sitting in the Masjid.The Prophet of Allah moved to one side andmade space. The person asked Ya Rasool-Allah there was already enough space. Why did you go through thedifficulty of making more space? The Prophet of Allah

replied, It is the right of a Muslim thatwhenever he sees his Muslim brother, he should make space.

(Shuubul-Imaan, Hadith 8933, V6, P468, Dar-ul-Kutubul lmiyyah Beirut)

Dear Islamic Brothers! With the blessings of travelling in theMadan Qafilas every month, filling in theMadan Inaamaatcard and handing it in to the relevant responsible Islamicbrother at the end of every Islamic month,

, for the

sake of the Beloved there will be blessings foryou in just a little space, you will develop a mindset of practicingthe Sunnah of making space for others and providing them


21/28


17

with comfort and you will gain a spacious place forburial inJannat-ul-Baqi.

Whispering

Sayyidun Abdullah bin Masood narrates that theProphet of Allah said, If there are three persons,two of them should not talk secretly until lots of people arriveas it will cause grief to the third person. (Sahih Bukhari, Hadith6290, V4, P185, Dar-ul-Kutubul Ilmiyyah Beirut) (He might think thatthey are talking about him or they did not consider him worthy

of joining the discussion etc.)

Stepping over People

If people are already sitting in the first row for Jumuah, it isprohibited for the latecomer to step over the people in order toget to the front. The Prophet of Allah said,

Whoever steps over people on Friday, he will be made intothe bridge for the dwellers of Hell on the Day of Judgement.(Jami Tirmidhi, Hadith 513, V2, P48, Dar-ul-Fikr Beirut)

Sitting between two People

If two people are already sitting, it is extremely immoral andagainst the respect of a Muslim to sit between them without

their permission. The Holy Prophet said, It isnot Halaal for a man to separate two people except with theirpermission. (Meaning to sit between them) (Sunan Abu Dawood,Hadith 4845, V4, P48, Dar-ul-Fikr Beirut)


22/28


18

Sayyidun Huzaifah narrates that the Holy Prophet said that such a person is cursed. (Jami Tirmidhi,

Hadith 2762, V4, P346, Dar-ul-Fikr Beirut) The beloved of Allah

is reported to have said, Do not ask someoneto leave his seat for you; instead, the sitting person shouldmake space. (Sahih Muslim, V2, P217, Afghanistan)

The beloved of Allah said, If someone leaveshis seat and then returns to it, he is entitled to it the most. (ibid)

Dear Islamic Brothers! Whoever leaves his place to go the

toilet or perform wudu and will return to his place, no-one elseshould sit there. However, some people place a shawl etc. inthe first row of the Masjid to reserve a place or to preventothers from sitting there; this is not allowed. If necessary, thereis no harm in reserving a place for theMukabbirand the Samiin Taraweeh.

Dear Islamic Brothers! With the blessings of travelling in theMadan Qafilas every month, filling in theMadan Inaamaatcard and handing it in to the relevant responsible Islamicbrother at the end of every Islamic month, , for thesake of the beloved Prophet you will learn thenorms of a gathering, refrain from violating peoples rights,hurting their feelings and will develop a mindset of respectingMuslims. With the blessings of this, you will

gain

the auspiciousness ofHajj and visit to beautiful Madina.


23/28


19

Dont hurt anyones feelings

Dear Islamic Brothers! The Muslim's respect demands us to

fulfil the rights of every Muslim at any cost. We must not hurtthe feelings of any Muslim without a Shari reason. Our blessedProphet never hurt the feelings of any Muslim.He never teased anyone, never made a joke ofanybody, never pushed anybody away and never insulted anyone.Instead, he embraced every one.

Uswa-e-HasanaIn order to learn how to respect Muslims properly, we must

follow and focus on the Uswa-e-Hasana (best character) ofour beautiful Prophet . Allah says in theGlorious Quran, Part 21, Sura Ahzaab, verse 21,

Indeed following the Noble Prophet of Allah is better for you.
