EXCELLENCE OF DUROOD SHAREEF

he Prophet of Rehmah, the Intercessor of Ummah, the

Distributor of Nemah said, Allah

sends one hundred mercies on the one reciting Durood

Shareef ten times on me.' (Attargheeb wattarheeb, V2, P322)

As soon as the month of Rabi-un-Noor Shareef comes,

springtime prevails everywhere. The lovers of the Holy

Prophet become excited and delighted. Every true Muslimwhether young or old expresses their heart-feeling.

Nisaar teri chahal pahal par hazaar eidain rabi-ul-awwal

siwaai iblees ke jahan mein sabhi to khushian mana rahay hain

We sacrifice thousands of Eids on the beauty of Rabi-ul-AwalEveryone is rejoicing in the world except satan

When the darkness of disbelief and idolatry prevailed

everywhere in the universe, a light shone in the sacred house of

T

Sayyidatuna Amina inMakka-tul-Mukarrama, which

brightened the entire universe. The Holy Prophet, the most

generous, the Noor incarnate for whom the

troubled humanity was anxiously waiting, came as a mercy forall the worlds.

Mubarak ho ke khata-mul-mursaleen tashreef laai aaeJanaab-e-rehma-tul-lilaalameen tashreef lai aaeCongratulation! The last Prophet

has comeCongratulation! The mercy for all the worlds has come


The Holy Prophet came into the world on the

12th

ofRabi-un-Noor Shareefat the time of dawn and changedthe dark night of miseries, difficulties, troubles and tribulations

into the bright and auspicious morning of happiness.

Musalmaano subh-e-baharan Mubarak

Wo barsaatay anwaar sarkaar aae

Congratulation on the arrival of the blessed morning

Our Lord has come showering Noor (light)

MIRACLES

As soon as Allahs Noor(light) arrived

on the earth on 12th Rabi-un-Noor, the dark clouds ofoppression and disbelief disappeared. An earthquake struck

the palace of Kisra, the Iranian king, fourteen spikes fell off,

the flame which had been continuously blazing for one

thousand years in Iran was extinguished, river sava got dry,

the Kaba began to sway and idols fell on their heads.Teri aamad thi ke baitullah mujray ko jhuka

Teri haibat thi ke har buth thar thara kar gir gaya

Upon your arrival, the Ka'aba swayed

Every idol fell tremblingly, it was afraid

Beyond doubt, the Holy Prophet was sent as a

mercy and indeed, the day when Allah's mercy descends

is the day of happiness. Allah says in the Holy Quran,

Para 11, Sura Yunus, Verse 58:

Say- you, 'Only Allahs' grace and only His mercy, on ittherefore let them rejoice. That is better than all their

wealth.

Allah-o-Akbar ! The Quran is itself ordering us to rejoice

over Allah's mercy, and Allah's greatest mercy is in the

form of the Holy Prophet as clearly stated in

the Holy Quran, Para 17, Sura Al-Ambiya, Verse 107:

And We sent you not, but a blessing for all worlds.

THE NIGHT GREATER THAN SHAB-E-QADR

Sayyiduna Sheikh Abdul Haq Muhaddith Dehlvi says,

Indeed, the night of the birth of the Holy Prophet is greater than even Shab-e-Qadrwhich is one

of nights given to the Holy Prophet . In fact,

the night whose greatness lies in the arrival of the Holy

Prophet is more sacred than the night whose

greatness lies in the arrival of the angels. (Masabat bisunnah, p289,

Karachi)

EID OF EIDS

Alhamdu-Lillah ! The 12th ofRabi-un-Noor is the Eidof

all the Eids for Muslims. Indeed, if the Holy Prophet

had not come into this world, there would beno Eid and no Shab-e-Baraat. In fact, all the glory and

greatness of the world as well as the here-after is due to the

blessed arrival of the Holy Prophet .

Wo jo na thay to kuch na thaa, wo jo na hoon to kuch na ho

Jaan hain wo jahaan ki, jaan hai to jahaan hai

Without him was nothing--without him is nothing

He is the essence, without soul is no being

ABU LAHAB AND MILD

After the death of Abu Lahab, some of his family members had

a dream in which they saw him in trouble, they asked how he

was treated after death. He replied, 'I did not get any goodness

after leaving you, however, I get water from my index finger

because I freed my slave girl, Suwaiba, with its gesture. (Bukhari,

V1, P153, Hadith No. 5101)

MUSLIMS AND MILD

Commenting on the foregoing narration, Sayyiduna Sheikh

Abdul Haq Muhaddith Dehlvi

states, In this incident

there is credible evidence for those who celebrate the birth of

Holy Prophet and spend their wealth on this

occasion. Abu Lahab, who was a staunch disbeliever, was also

given a benefit because of rejoicing and freeing his slave girl,

Suwaiba for breastfeeding, upon hearing the news of the

blessed birth of the Holy Prophet now

imagine, how great reward the Muslim spending his wealth

whole-heartedly on this occasion will attain. However, it is

necessary to avoid songs and music in Mild gatherings.

(Madaari-jun-nubuwwat, V2, P34)

CELEBRATE MILD ENTHUSIASTICALLY

Dear Islamic Brothers! Mark the blessed birth of the Holy

Prophet enthusiastically. Even a staunch

disbeliever like Abu Lahab was also benefited due to expressing

happiness over the birth of the Holy Prophet ,

we areAlhamdu-Lillah Muslims, Abu Lahab rejoiced over


9/37

the birth of a nephew, not that of the Prophet of Allah , still he was benefited. If we celebrate

Mild with love and honour, how can we be deprived of

reward?

Ghar Amina ke syede abrar agaya

Khushiyan manao ghamzado ghamkhaar aagaya

In Amina's house, Prophets' King has come

Rejoice, O, the troubled, your comforter

has come

HOLY PROPHET GETS PLEASED WITH

THOSE WHO CELEBRATE HIS BIRTH

An Islamic scholar says he saw the Holy Prophet

in his dream and asked, Ya Rasool-Allah ,

do you like Muslims' celebrating your birth every year? The

Holy Prophet replied, I get pleased with the

one who gets pleased with me. (Tazkira-tul-waizeen, P600)

FLAGS IN THE HAPPINESS OF MILD

Sayyidatuna Amina says, when Holy Prophet

was born I saw that three flags were hoisted,

one in the east, one in the west and one on the roof of theKaba. (Khasais-e-kubra, V1, P82)

Ru-hul-ameen nein ghaara kabay ki chatt pay jhanda

Ta arsh urra pharaira subh-e-shab-e-wiladat

Rooh-ul-Ameen erected a flag onto the roof of Ka'aba

That will fly up to the Arsh on the Blessed Morning

PROCESSION WITH FLAGS

While migrating to Madina, when the Holy Prophet

reached a place, near Madina, known as

mozaai ghameem, Bareeda Aslami along with seventy

horsemen from the tribe of bani Sehm chased the caravan with

the intention of capturing the Holy Prophet

but they themselves got captivated by the love of the Holy

Prophet and embraced Islam.They said, Ya

Rasool-Allah , we will welcome you in

Madina with flags. Therefore, the horsemen took off their

turbans, placed them on the top of their spears and moved to

Madina. (Wafa ul wafa, v1, p 243, Beirut)

THE FAMILY THAT USED TO CELEBRATE MILD

There was a pious person whose name was Ibraheem living in

Madina-tul-Munawwara. He was a true lover of HolyProphet . He always earned Halaalmoney and

used to save1 half of his earnings for the celebration of the

birth of the Holy Prophet .

When the month of Rabi-un-Noor Shareef would come, he

used to celebrate Mild enthusiastically, abiding by thecommandments of Shariah. He would distribute a lot of food

among the people for the Esaal-e-sawaab of Holy Prophet . He would spend his money in good ways. His

wife was also a great lover of the Holy Prophet .

She would also co-operate with her husband with heart andsoul in this righteous deed. After a few years, his wife passed

away but he continued the process of celebrating Mild.

One day, Ibrahim called his son and made his will, Dear son! I

will die tonight; I have 50 dirhams and 19 yards of cloth. Use

the cloth for my shroud and spend the money in any goodway. Having said these words, he recited the Kalima and his

soul left his body.

The son buried his father according to his will but he was

rather confused about spending the money his father left.

When he slept that night, he had a dream in which he saw that

1 Would that we would also save either 12% or at least 1% of our income for

the celebration of the birth of the Holy Prophet and spend iton the promotion of religion.

the Day of Judgement had occurred and everyone was

extremely frightened. The fortunate people were going

towards Heaven whereas the unfortunate ones were being

dragged into Hell. He stood shivering with fear as to what hisdestination would be! Meanwhile, an announcement was

made, Let this young man enter Heaven.

Therefore, he entered the Heaven happily where he wandered

fearlessly. After visiting seven Heavens, when he reached the

gate of the 8th Heaven, he was told that only those who

celebrated the birth of the Holy Prophet in the

world are allowed to enter this Heaven. Upon hearing this, he

envisioned that his parents would be there. A voice was then

heard, Let this young man enter; his parents want to meet

him.

Therefore, he went in and saw his mother sitting near the

stream of Kauser. Nearby, there was a throne on which an

honourable lady was sitting. There were also some other chairs

on which many venerable ladies were sitting. He asked an

angel, Who are they?

The angel replied, The one sitting on the throne is

Sayyidatuna Fatima Zahra and other ladies on the

chairs are Khadija-tul-Kubra, Aisha Siddiqa, Sayyidatuna

Maryam, Sayyidatuna Asia, Sayyidatuna Sara, Sayyidatuna

Hajira, Sayyidatuna Rabia and Sayyidatuna Zubaida .

He became very happy and resumed walking and saw an even

more faith-refreshing scene. He saw a very big throne on


13/37


12

which the Holy Prophet was seated. Around

the throne, there were four chairs upon which the Khulafa-e-

Rashideen (caliphs) were seated. At the right side,

there were golden chairs upon which the Prophets were sitting and at the left, the martyrs were seated. The young

man saw his father Ibrahim amongst a crowd near Holy

Prophet .

Ibraheem hugged his son happily. The son asked, 'Dear father,

how did you attain this status?' Ibrahim replied,Alhamdu-Lillah I have been blessed with this status due

to celebrating the birth of the Holy Prophet .

On the morning, he sold his house and prepared a feast with

the money he got by selling his house along with his father's 50

dirhams. He invited Islamic scholars and pious Muslims and

served them. As he was no longer interested in the world, he

decided to stay in a Masjidand spent the rest of his 30 years

worshipping Allah . After his death, someone saw him in

a dream and asked what had happened to him. He replied,

With the blessings of celebrating Mild Shareef, I have alsogot the same status which my father has in the Heaven.

(Tazkira-tul-waizeen, Urdu, P321)

Baksh day mujh ko Ilahi ! Behr-e-Mild-un-Nabi

Almighty , forgive me for Mild's sakeThough my book of deeds is replete with sins

REWARD OF CELEBRATING MILDSheikh Abdul Haq Muhaddith Dehlvi says, Those

rejoicing at the night of the birth of The Holy Prophet will enterJanna-tun-Naeem with the mercy of

Allah .

Muslims have always been celebrating the birth of the Holy

Prophet by cooking feasts, inviting guests and

giving Sadqah (alms) in abundance. They express theirhappiness, spend whole-heartedly, hold congregation for the

celebration of the birth of the Holy Prophet ,

decorate their houses and Allah showers His blessings on

them due to these blessed deeds. (Ma sabata bissunna, P290)

JEWS EMBRACED ISLAM

Sayyiduna Abdul Wahid bin Ismail narrates that a

great lover of The Holy Prophet lived in Egypt. He used to

celebrate the birth of the Prophet of Allah

with full zeal and zest.A Jewish family lived in his neighbourhood. When the month

of Rabi-un-Noor Shareef came, the Jewish woman asked her

husband Why does our Muslim neighbour arrange such a big

feast during this month? Her husband replied, In this

month, his Prophet was born, therefore, hedoes so to celebrate his Prophets birth and

Muslims honour this month a lot. Upon hearing this, the wife


15/37


14

said, It is a nice thing that Muslims do by celebrating the birth

of their Prophet every year.

When the Jewish lady went to sleep that night, she had adream in which she saw a beautiful and stunning saint; there

was a crowd of people around him. She walked forward and

asked someone about the noble saint. The man replied, He is

the last Prophet of Allah . He has cometo meet and bless your neighbour for celebrating his birth.

The Jewish woman then asked, Will he talk to

me? The man replied, Yes. The woman then called the Holy

Prophet . The Prophet of Allah

replied, Labbaik (I am here). Impressed by Holy Prophet's

reply, she said, I am not a Muslim, still you replied to me.

The Holy Prophet said, Allah has told

me that you are going to embrace Islam very soon. Upon

hearing this, she spoke spontaneously,' You are a Merciful and

highly Well-mannered Prophet, the one disobeying you will

never succeed and the one trifling with you will confront

humiliation.' Then she read the Kalima. When she awoke from

her dream, she embraced Islam from the bottom of her heart.

On the morning, she decided to spend all her savings on the

celebration of the birth of the Holy Prophet by

serving people with meal. When she got up, she saw that herhusband was busy preparing a feast. She asked him in

astonishment, What are you doing? He replied, I am making

arrangement for a feast in the happiness of your embracing


16/37


15

Islam. She asked, How did you get to know? He replied,

Like you, I also beheld the Holy Prophet last

night in my dream and I have also embraced Islam. (Tazkira-tul-waizeen, P598)

Aamad-e-Sarkaar se zulmat hui kafoor hai

Kya zameen kya aasmaan har samt chaya noor hai

His arrival has removed darkness from everywhere

There is light from earth to sky everywhere

DAWAT-E-ISLAMI AND MILD-CELEBRATION

Alhamdu-Lillah ! Dawat-e-Islami, a worldwide non-

political movement for the preaching of the Quran and

Sunnah, has a unique way of celebrating Mild. Huge Ijtimasof Mild are held in many different countries including Karachi

where probably the biggest Ijtima of the world is held every

year. These are extrmely blessed Ijtimas which have caused

Madani revolution in the lives of thousands of sinners who

have now adopted the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet .

Listen to four blessed incidents.

(1)CURE FORSINS

A lover of the Prophet says: On the occasion of Eid-e-Mild-

un-Nabi (1426 A.H.) once a friend of mine

who was extremely fond of latest fashion and did not say salah

attended the Ijtima-e-Mild held at Kakri ground, Baab-ul-


17/37


16

Madina, Karachi. At the time of welcoming Subh-e-Baharan

(the dawn of blessing), everyone was reciting Durood and

Salaam, he got very impressed, he felt hatred for sins and

made a firm intention to say salah regularly and grow beard.

Alhamdu-Lillah , actidng upon his intentions he has not

only started saying salah regularly but also has grown his

beard. He had a bad habit that is inappropriate to be mentioned;

he also got rid of it with the blessing of attending the Ijtima. Inother words, the patient suffering from the lethal disease of sins

has found the cure.

Maang lo maang lo unka gham maang lo,

chashm-e-rehmat nagah-e-karam mang lo

Masiyyat ki dava la jaram maang lo, maangnay ka mazza aaj ki raat hai

Ask for his grief, mercy and blessings,

It is a sacred night, ask for the cure for sins

(2)THE DIRT OF HEART WAS REMOVED

The gist of a written statement given by an Islamic brotherfrom North Karachi is presented: During the first week ofRabi-un-Noor Shareef, some lovers of the Prophet, making

individual effort, invited me to attend Ijtima-e-Mild being

held at Kakri ground, Baab-ul-Madina, Karachi. It was my

good fortune that I assured them of my participation in theIjtima. When the night of the 12th came, I kept my promise

and sat on the bus with all the other Islamic brothers who were

also leaving for the Ijtima-e-Mild. A lover of the Holy


18/37


17

Prophet had some sweets called cham cham which he divided

approximately into thirty small pieces and distributed them

equally among the brothers. I was really impressed by his

affectionate way. Anyway, we reached the Ijtima-e-Mild. Thatwas the first time that I saw such a beautiful and spiritual

Ijtima in my life.

The sound ofNa'atand Salam was echoing in the atmosphere

and people were chanting slogans enthusiastically "Marhaba

Ya Mustafa ". I felt as if the spirituality of theIjtima was gradually cleaning the dirt of my heart. Alhamdu-

Lillah I joined the Madani environment of Dawat-e-

Islami forthwith. By the grace of Allah , now I wear a

green turban and have grown my beard. I am presently

rendering my services as theAlaqai Nigran of Dawat-e-Islamiin an area for spreading Sunnahs.

Ata-e-habeeb khuda Madani Mahol,

Hai Faizan-e-Ghous-o-Raza Madani Mahol

Yahan sunnatain seekhnay ko milain gi,

Dilaai ga khauf-e-khuda Madani Mahol

Yaqeenan muqaddar ka who hai sikandar,

Jissay khair se mil gaya Madani Mahol

A favour of Allah is the Madani Environment,

Benevolence of Ghos and Raza is the Madani Environment

Verily, fortunate is the one who has joined the Madani Environment

(3)RAIN OF NOOR(LIGHT)

On the occasion of Eid-e-Mild-un-Nabi

(1417A.H.), the procession of Dawat-e-Islami (Nazimabad,Karachi) started after Sala-tuz-Zuhr. There were a large number

of participants who were rejoicing ardently chanting different

slogans enthusiastically. The procession stopped at many places

for presenting call towards righteousness. Everybody listened

quietly. After the Bayan (speech) finished, a person stood up

and told the Nigraan.

During the Bayan, I saw with my own eyes that Noor(light)

was being showered to everyone including the child Mubaligh

(preacher), I am not a Muslim, please revert me to Islam. The

participants chanted slogans more enthusiastically. Seeing thegreatness of the Madani procession and blessing of Dawat-e-

Islami, the devil lost his senses. After embracing Islam, the

new-Muslim went to his home to invite his family members to

Islam as well. Due to his cordial spiritual invitation, his wife,

three children and his father, all embraced Islam.

Eid-e-Mild-un-Nabi he har koi masroor hai

Haan magar Shaitaan bima rufaqa barra ranjoor hai

On Eid-eMildun-Nabi , every one is in high sprit

But satan with his accomplices is in low sprit

(4)ONE CAN BEHOLD THE PROPHET EVEN TODAY

A lover of the Holy Prophet states we attended (probably the

biggest) Ijtima-e-Mild held by Dawat-e-Islami at Kakriground, Baab-ul-Madina, Karachi. During conversation, an

Islamic brother said, The Ijtima-e-Mild of Dawat-e-Islami

used to be very touching earlier but its not so impressive

anymore. Upon hearing this, another Islamic brother said,

My friend! You are wrong! The Ijtima is still the same, how

can the Prophets zikrchange, our hearts and

mentality have changed! Even today, if we listen to Naat

Shareef whilst engulfing ourselves in the love of Prophet instead of criticising, Inshaa-Allah we

will get a lot of blessings. The first Islamic brother's baseless

objection could make a participant lose his interest in the

Ijtima and go home but second Islamic brother's reply was

very appropriate. Anyway, plucking up the courage, I sat in

between the lovers of the Holy Prophet and began to listen to

Na'ats fondly.

The time of dawn approached and all the Islamic brothers

stood up to welcome the dawn of blessing. The participants

were in a state of ecstasy. The calls Marhaba (welcome) could

be heard from every direction. Duroodand Salaam was being

recited upon the Prophet . There were tears in

the eyes of the lovers of the Prophet. People were weepingeverywhere in the Ijtima. I was also in an ecstatic state. With

my sinful eyes, I saw droplets falling on the Ijtima. It was as if

the Ijtima was being showered with mercy. I closed my eyes


21/37


20

and began to recite Duroodand Salaam. Suddenly, the eyes of

my heart opened and, truly speaking, I saw the beloved whose

Mild we were celebrating; I beheld the Holy Prophet

.Alhamdu-Lillah my heart got spiritualpeace. Really, the Islamic brother was right when he said that

the Ijtima-e-Mildheld by Dawat-e-Islami is always touching

but these are our hearts that have been changed. If we remain

attentive, then even today, one can behold the beloved

Prophet .Koi aaya paakay challa gaya, koi umar bhar bhi na paa sakka

Ye barray karam ke hain faislay, ye barray naseeb ki baat hai

Someone came and got immediately, whereas someone couldnever get, these are sacred decisions which are predestined

12MADANI FLOWERS ABOUT CELEBRATING MILD

BY:AMEER-E-AHL-E-SUNNATHAZRATALLAMAMOULANAMUHAMMAD ILYAS

ATTARQADIRI

MADINA 1: Decorate your homes, Masajid, shops and vehicles

with flags in the happiness of the birth of The Holy Prophet Illuminate your home with at least 12 bulbs.Arrange an Ijtima-e-Zikr-o-Naaton the 12th night, and at the

time of dawn, welcome the dawn of blessings with tearful eyes

raising your flags in hands and reciting Durood and Salaam.

If possible, keep fast on the 12th of Rabi-un-Noor Shareef

because our Holy Prophet would celebrate his

birthday by fasting every Monday. Therefore, Sayyiduna

Qatada says that the Prophet was


22/37


21

asked as to why he fasted on every Monday. The Holy Prophet replied, I was born on this day and the

revelations descended on me on the same day. (Sahih Muslim,

p591, Hadith no 198, Beirut)The commentator on Sahih Bukhari, Sayyiduna Imaam

Qastalaani says, One of the main tried and tested

benefits of celebrating the birth of The Holy Prophet

is that, the year will be peaceful and every wishwill be fulfilled sooner. May Allahs mercy be upon the

person who celebrates the nights of this month like Eid.

(Mawahi-bulla-dunya, V1, P27)

MADINA 2: Nowadays, models of the Kaba and dolls doingTawaafare displayed at some places. This is a sin. In the pre-Islamic era of ignorance, there were 360 idols in the Kaba. After

our Prophet conqueredMakkah, he removed

all the idols from Kaba. Therefore, even models containing

idols (dolls) should not be displayed. Plastic flowers can be

placed instead, (It is permissible to display such a picture inyour house, Masjid etc. in which the face of the people doing

Tawaaf-e-Kaba is not recognizable. However, it is impermissible

to display such a picture in which the peoples faces are clearly

recognizable.)MADINA 3: It is not permissible to erect such decorated gates

containing the pictures of peacocks and other birds.


23/37


22

Read the following two Hadiths in the condemnation of

making images of living things:

The angels of mercy do not enter the house in which thereis a picture or a dog. (Sahee Bukhari, v2, p409, Hadith 3322, Beirut)

Whoever makes the picture (of a living thing) will be punished

on the Day of Judgement until he puts a soul in the picture,

and he will never be able to do so.(Sahee Bukhari, v4, p422, Hadis42)

MADINA 4:Some people play music in the name of celebratingthe birth of the Holy Prophet . By Sharia, it is a

sin to do so. Following are two hadith of Prophet in this regard.

The Holy Prophet said, I have been orderedto break the drum and the flute. (Firdos-ul-akhbar, v1, p483, Hadith

1612, Beirut)

Hazrate Dahaak narrates that music spoils heartand displeases Allah

. (Tafseeraat-e-Ahmediya, p603 Peshawar)

MADINA 5: You can play Naat cassettes but take care at the

time ofazan and salah. Further, make it sure that the sound of

Na'at does not disturb the sick etc. Don't play cassettes of

Na'ats in the voice of any woman.

MADINA 6: It is not permissible to decorate the roads or streets

etc. in such a way that causes any kind of worry or distress to

passers by or drivers.


24/37


23

MADINA 7: Women's coming out of their homes without

purdah (veil) to watch illuminations is a shameless and Haram

act. Further, doing so even with purdah and the resultant

intermingling of men and women is also extremely regretful.Moreover, it is also not permissible to use electricity illegally.

Therefore, contact the electricity department and use

electricity legally by paying its bill either in advance or later on.

MADINA 8: In the Mild Shareef procession, try to remain inthe state of wuzu as long as possible. Offer salah with Jamat. If

there is no Shari compulsion, offering salah with jamat in the

masjid is wajib even during the procession. The lovers of the

Prophet are not expected to miss the jamat.

MADINA 9: Avoid riding horse-cart and camel-cart etc. duringthe procession as their urine or dung can make peoples clothes

impure.

MADINA 10: During the procession, distribute booklets and

pamphlets, as many as possible, published by Maktabat-ul-

Madina. Further, give fruits etc. in the hands of people insteadof throwing. Fruits and other things are disrespected if they are

thrown on the floor and people walk over them. Wasting the

bounties of Allah by crushing under feet is a sin.

MADINA 11: Chanting inflammatory slogans can result in anyunpleasant incident and can sabotage your prestigious

procession. Your own safety lies in remaining calm and

peaceful.

MADINA 1: On the first night of Rabi-un-Noor, make this

announcement three times in all theMasajid.

Congratulations to all Islamic brothers and sisters. Themoon ofRabi-un-Noor Shareefhas appeared.

Rabi-un-Noor umeedoon ki dunya saath lay aaya

Duaoon ki qabooliat ko hatho hath lay aya

The world of hopes has come in Rabiun-NoorAll the prayers will be answered very soon

MADINA 2: Men's shaving their beard or trimming it less than

a fist-length is Haraam. Islamic sisters' indulging in

immodesty is also Haraam. In reverence of the birth of The

Holy Prophet , Islamic brothers should try tolet their beards grow from the 1st to the 12th ofRabi-un-Noor

Shareefand Islamic sisters should try to observe veil. With the

blessing of doing so, Islamic brothers should make the

intention of having a fistful beard permanently and Islamic

sisters should make the intention of observing Shari Pardah,preferably wearing a Madani Burqa (a long loose piece of

clothing worn over the dress covering a woman from head to

feet.) (Man's shaving his beard or trimming it less than a

fist-length and woman's indulging in immodesty is Haraam. It

is wajib (necessary) to repent of these sins and give them up)

The Ka'abe bent, all the idols fell

Upon your arrival, Marhab! Marhaba

MADINA 3:One of the ways of acting persistently upon Sunnahand other good deeds and refraining from sins is to fill in the

booklet of Madani Ina'amaatpracticing Fikr-e-Madina and

hand it in to the relevant responsible Islamic brother/sister.

SayInshaa-Allah raising your hand.

Badliyan rehmat ki chaeen boondian rehmat ki aaeenAb muradain dil ki paeen aamed-e-shah-e-Arab hai

The clouds and drizzle of blessing have come

Desires will be satisfied now, Marhaba Marhaba

MADINA

4:All the lovers of the Prophet including Nigraan andZimadaarshould travel with aMadani Qafila (caravan) for at

least three days. Islamic sisters should give Dars from Faizan-

e-Sunnat for at least thirty days in their home (only to family

members) and then make the intention to continue it after

Rabi-un-Noor Shareefas well.

Lootnay rehmatain Qafilay mein chalo

Seekhnay sunnatain Qafilay mein chalo

For getting blessings, travel with Qafila

For learning Sunnah, travel with Qafila

MADINA 5: Display 12 flags or at least one flag in yourMasjid,

house, shop, workplace etc. for the whole month. Buy some

flags and display them on buses, wagons, trucks, trolleys, taxis,

rickshaws, horse and carriage etc.


28/37


27

Hoist flags on your cycle, scooter and car. Inshaa-Allah

the whole city will look green. Usually, there are big pictures of

living things or filthy couplets are written on the back of big

trucks. It is my wish that the sentence I Love Dawat-e-Islamiclearly be written at the back side of trucks, buses, wagons,

rickshaws, taxies and cars etc.

Make efforts in this regard by meeting and persuading the

transporters and bus or truck owners and get my sincere

prayers.

PRECAUTION

If the flag has a picture of a Nalain Shareef (shoe image of

Holy Prophet ), make it sure that it neither

tears nor falls on the ground.

Further, as soon as the month ofRabi-un-Noor Shareefends,

remove the flags immediately. If there is a chance that the flags

might be disrespected, use simple green flags (without the shoe

image of Holy Prophet ). (Sag-e-Madina

displays a simple green flag at his home)

Nabi ka jhanda laykar niklo dunya mein chaa jaoNabi ka jhanda aman ka jhanda ghar ghar mein layrao

Rule the whole world with Prophet's flag

Wave, at every home, this sacred flag

MADINA 6: Illuminate your home with 12 light strings or at

least 12 bulbs; further, make a lot of illuminations in your area

and Masjid (but using electricity illegally for this purpose is

Haraam, therefore, use electricity legally by paying its full

bill). Decorate all your area with green flags and bright lights.

Display big banners (12 metres long or whatever size is needed)

on the roof of your house, Masjid and roundabout etc. but

make it sure that people's rights are not violated.

Dont erect flags in the middle of the road as this will obstruct

traffic. Do not decorate any such place where the way gets

narrow, Muslims are disturbed and their rights are violated.

Bait-e-Aqsa, baab-e-kaba, barmakaan-e-Amina

Nasb parcham ho gaya ahlawa sahlan Marhaba

Flags have been erected on Bait-e-Aqsa,

The roof of the Ka'aba and the house of Amina

MADINA 7: Every Islamic brother should distribute as many

booklets or different pamphlets published by Maktabat-ul-

Madina as possible among the participants of procession;

Islamic sisters should also get the booklets etc. distributed. In

the same way, make your contribution to the promotion of

religion by distributing booklets etc. throughout the year on

different occasions such as Ijtima, wedding, death etc. Persuade

also others to do the same.

Bant kar madani rasail deen ko phailaiay

Ker ke razi Haq ko haqdare jina ban jaiay

Spread religion distributing booklets

Get deserving of Heaven pleasing Allah

MADINA 8: If possible, buy 12 booklets 'The Dawn of Blessings'

and 112 pamphlets titled 12 Madani flowers on celebrating the

birth of The Holy Prophet fromMaktabat-ul-

Madina and gift them especially to the organizers of Mild

gatherings.

During the month of Rabi-un-Noor Shareef, give 1200 or, ifnot possible, 112 or at least 12 rupees to a Sunni Alim (only

adults should do so). To give this money to your Masjid Imam,

muazzin or servants is also right; it would be excellent to do so

every month. It is better to give the money on Friday because

the reward of every good deed is increased 70 times on Friday.Alhamdu-Lillah ! The cassettes of Bayans (Islamic

speeches) released byMaktabat-ul-Madina have played a vital

role in the reformation of many peoples lives. Even some of

you may also have joined Dawat-e-Islami by listening to a

bayan cassette. Distributing these cassettes to people is a greatservice to Islam and is a means of great reward. Therefore, if

possible, sell 12 bayan cassettes a week or at least 12 every

month.

Wealthy Islamic brothers should also make their contribution

to the propagation of religion by distributing the cassettes ofBayan for free. Distribute as manyBayan cassettes as you can.

On the occasion of weddings, gift a booklet or a bayan cassette

with the wedding card. Do the same on the occasion of Eids

instead of gifting Eid card. People send me expensive Eid cards

because of which my heart burns instead of getting happy.

Would that people spend their hard-earned money on the

promotion of religion instead of Eid cards! Further, theglittering powder on these cards also causes great problems.

Unke dar pay palnay waala apna aap jawaab

Koi Ghareeb Nawaaz to koi Data lagta hai

Those trained by the Prophet are matchlessSomeone becomes Ghareeb Nawaz and someone Data

MADINA 9: In big cities, every area (alaqai) Nigraan should

hold glorious Sunnah-inspiring Ijtimas at differentMasjids for

the first 12 days ofRabi-un-Noor Shareef(Responsible Islamic

sisters should hold Ijtimas at homes). If possible, everyone

should attend the Ijtima with green flags in Rabi-un-Noor.

Lab par Naat-e-Rasool-e-akram haathoon mein parchamDeewaana sarkaar ka kitna pyara lagta hai

The lover of Prophet reciting Na'ats and

Holding flag in his hand looks very beautiful

MADINA 10: Take bath on the evening of the 11th or at the 12th

of Rabi-un-Noor Shareef. If possible, buy everything new, for

example, white clothes, turban, bandana, cap, shawl, Miswaak,

handkerchief, slippers, tasbeeh, Itr(perfume), watch, pen, Qafila

pad etc. (Islamic sisters should also buy new things according to

their needs)

Aaee naee hukoomat sikka naya challay ga

Aalam nein rang badla subh-e-shab-e-wiladat

A new coin will be used as a new government has come,

The world is changing, the blessed morning has come

MADINA 11: Spend the 12th night in an Ijtima-e-Zikr-o-Naat

and welcome the 'The Dawn of Blessings' with tearful eyes at

dawn, raising your flags and reciting Durood and Salaam.

After Sala-tul-Fajr, say salaam and congratulate each other on

this occasion of Eid and continue to do so for the rest of the

day.

Eid-e-Mild-un-Nabi to Eid ki bi Eid hai

Aaj to hai Eid-e-Eidaan Eid-e-Mild-un-Nabi Beyond all doubt, Eid-e-Mildun-Nabi is the

Eid of All the Eids

MADINA 12: Our Holy Prophet wouldcelebrate his birth by fasting on every Monday. Keeping this in

mind, you should also fast on 12th Rabi-un-Noor Shareef and

participate in the Madani procession carrying green flags.

Remain in the state of Wudu as long as possible. Recite Naats,

Duroodand Salaam and walk properly with your gaze lowered.

Dont commit any inappropriate act due to which others may

criticise your procession.

Rabi-ul-awwal Ahl-e-Sunnat tujh pai kyun na ho qurbaan

Rabi-ul-awal, why should the Ahl-e-Sunnah not sacrifice their lives for

you, As the beloved Prophet came on your 12thdate?

INTENTIONS ABOUT CELEBRATING MILD

The first Hadith of Bukhari Shareef says

Meaning actions are dependant upon intentions (Sahih Bukhari,V1, P5)Remember! Whenever you perform any good deed, you must

have the intention of gaining reward for it from Allah ,

otherwise, you will not gain any reward. Likewise, it is

necessary to have the intention of gaining reward while

celebrating Mild. When making the intention of gaining

reward, the action must be according to Shariah and must be

performed with sincerity. If someone celebrated Mild

showing off, using electricity illegally, forcing people to give

money, hurting other Muslims without Shari permission,violating public rights, playing Naats etc. with the loudspeaker

which can cause distress to the ill or sleeping people, then even

the intention of gaining reward will be considered invalid in

the afore-mentioned cases; and the person doing so is a sinner.

The more good intentions you make, the more reward you willgain. 18 intentions are presented but they are not complete,

you can add according to your situation. A person with

knowledge of intentions can increase these intentions as many
