Islamic Topic: Jashaan-e-Wiladaat and Righteous Predecessors

Centuries ago, such a flower blossomed in the universe whose pure fragrance started transforming the widely spread the foul smell of disbelief, polytheism, oppression, and violence into faith, Islam and peace. That flower’s fragrance is not diminishing with the passage of centuries; rather, it keeps growing further and will keep growing until the Day of Judgement. That matchless flower is none other than our Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. That is the reason why the scholars, pious people, Muhaddiseen and Mufassireen have been praising highly about the greatness of the time and the month of the blessed birth of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in different ways.

As an Imam belonging to around 750 years ago, ‘Allamah Zakariya Bin Muhammad Bin Mahmood Qazveeni رَحْمَةُ اللّٰەِ عَلَيْه (demise: 682 AH) states:

ھُوَ شَھْرٌ مُّبَارَكٌ فَتَحَ اللّٰەُ فِیْەِ اَبْوَابَ الْخَیْرَاتِ وَ اَبْوَابَ السَّعَادَاتِ عَلَی الْعَلٰمِیْنَ

بِوُجُوْدِ سَیِّدِ الْمُرْسَلِیْنَ صَلَّی اللّٰەُ عَلَیْەِ وَسَلَّم وَالثَّانِی عَشَرَ  مِنْەُ مَوْلِدُ رَسُولِ اللّٰەِ صَلَّی اللّٰەُ عَلَیْەِ وَسَلَّم

i.e. (Rabi’-ul-Awwal) is that sacred month in which Allah Almighty opened the doors of goodness and blessings upon the creation of the entire world through the blessings of the blessed existence of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was born on the 12^th of the same very month. (‘Ajaaib-ul-Makhluqat, pg. 68)

What greatness that moment possesses in which the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was born and it became a moment for the acceptance of Du’as for the Muslims until the Day of Judgement. As, Sayyiduna Shaykh ‘Abdul ‘Azeez Dabbaagh رَحْمَةُ اللّٰەِ عَلَيْه states, ‘The blessed moment in which the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم came in this world is the time for the acceptance of Du’as. The attribute of acceptance of this moment will remain until the Day of Judgement. At that moment, all Ghaus, Qutb and other Awliya of the entire world gather near the cave of Hira. The one whose Du’a corresponds to the Du’a of blessed Awliya, Allah Almighty accepts his Du’a and fulfills his need.’ Sayyiduna Shaykh ‘Abdul ‘Azeez Dabbaagh رَحْمَةُ اللّٰەِ عَلَيْه would often persuade his disciples to perform Qiyam at that blessed time. (Al-Ibreez, vol. 1, pg. 311, summarised)

That’s why the devotees of Prophet spend this night in the acts of worship offering Nawafil and performing Zikr and at the time of dawn, they make arrangements for Du’a. The blessed house in which the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was born is full of blessings. Hence, Islamic scholars and Muhadiseen pay visit there and acquire their blessings.

A pious person belonging to approximately 826 years ago, ‘Allamah Abul Husain Muhammad Bin Ahmad Jubayr Undalusi رَحْمَةُ اللّٰەِ عَلَيْه (demise: 614 AH) writes while talking about this blessed house, ‘That sacred place where the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was born in such a blessed moment that Allah Almighty made him a means of mercy for all of the worlds. That sacred place was coated in silver (and it seems) as if it is a small pond of water with a silver surface. What can be said about the sacred soil that Allah Almighty blessed to be the birthplace of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, who possesses the purest body. This blessed house gets opened in Rabi’-ul-Awwal on Monday because Rabi’-ul-Awwal is the month of the birth of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and Monday is the day of the birth of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. People enter this sacred house to attain blessings. This day has always been “Yaum-e-Mashhood” in Makkah Mukarramah, i.e. people gather on this day.’

At another place, he رَحْمَةُ اللّٰەِ عَلَيْه states, ‘The specific place where the blessed birth took place was like a raised platform resembling a small pond to the size of approximately three hand spans. In the middle of it, there is a green color marble piece to the size of a two-third of a hand span that is coated in silver. Including the silver, its length is of one hand span. We rubbed our faces at that sacred place that became the place of birth of the most superior individual that was born on the face of the earth and (that sacred place) touched the noblest of the individuals possessing the purest of the lineage. Moreover, we attained blessings from the sacred birthplace of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and benefited.’ (Tazkirah bil-Ikhbaar ‘an-Ittifaqaat-il-Asfaar, pg. 87, 127)

Those who acquired blessings from this sacred house

Many people acquired blessings from this blessed house. The devotees of Prophet used to visit it, dignify and revere it, perform Zikr there, arrange gatherings of Milad there, mention the virtues and excellences of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم there, recite there Durood and Salam abundantly and would also use to witness the mercy of Allah Almighty.

1       The great Muhaddis, belonging to the era of six centuries ago, ‘Allamah Ibn Naasiruddin Dimashqi رَحْمَةُ اللّٰەِ عَلَيْه (demise: 842 AH), states, ‘When I performed Hajj in 814 AH, then I paid a visit to this Masjid and beheld the place of the blessed birth. ‘زُرْتُ هٰذَا الْمَكَانَ الشَّرِيْفَ بِحَمْدِ اللّٰەِ تَعَالٰی وَالْمِنَّةِ وَتَبَرَّكْتُ بِهٖ’ i.e. اَلْحَمْدُلِلّٰە! I have beheld this blessed house and attained blessings from it. (Jami’-ul-Aasaar, vol. 2, pg. 752)

2       Shaykh-ul-Muhaddiseen, Imam ‘Abdur Raheem Bin Husain Iraqi رَحْمَةُ اللّٰەِ عَلَيْه (demise: 806 AH) narrates: The mother of the caliph Haroon-ur-Rasheed, Khaizuraan, bought the house of the blessed birth of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and made it into a Masjid. People living there before that, state, ‘By Allah Almighty! We faced no calamity in this house nor did we need anything in it. When we left from here, then calamities befell upon us.’ (Al-Mauriid-ul-Hanee, pp. 248)

Commentator of Sahih Bukhari, Sayyiduna Imam Ahmad Bin Muhammad Qastalani رَحْمَةُ اللّٰەِ عَلَيْه (demise: 923 AH) states, ‘An experienced benefit out of the benefits of holding the Mahfil of Milad on the occasion of the blessed birth is that there remains peace throughout the year. May Allah Almighty shower mercy upon the one who turned the nights of the month of the blessed birth into Eid.’ (Mawahib-ul-Ladunniyyah, vol. 1, pp. 78)

3       Sayyiduna Shah Waliyyullah Muhaddis Dihlvi رَحْمَةُ اللّٰەِ عَلَيْه (demise: 1176 AH) states, ‘I was present at the blessed place of birth of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in Makkah Mu’azzamah at the occasion of Milad Shareef. Everyone was reciting Durood and Salam upon the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and mentioning those out of norm things that were witnessed at the time of his birth along with the events that took place before the declaration of the Prophethood. Thereupon, I witnessed those Anwaar (i.e. spiritual effulgence) that was revealed upon that gathering all at once, and I cannot say whether I witnessed those Anwaar with my physical eyes or spiritual eyes. Allah Almighty knows the best. Anyhow, whatever matter took place, when I pondered upon the Anwaar and Tajalliyat (i.e. spiritual effulgence), then I found out that these Anwaar are being revealed by those angels who join these kinds of spiritual and blessed gatherings. Moreover, I also witnessed that the Anwaar emanating from them were joining the Anwaar of the mercy of Allah Almighty.’ (Fuyood-ul-Haramayn, pg. 26)

Imam Muhammad Bin Jaarullah Ibn Zaheer رَحْمَةُ اللّٰەِ عَلَيْه (demise: 986 AH) writes on page no. 285 of his book “Al-Jami’-ul-Lateef” that it is the practice of the people of Makkah that every year on the night of 12^th Rabi’-ul-Awwal, the Qadi of Makkah who is Shafi’i goes to visit the blessed place of birth of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم after Salat-ul-Maghrib with a huge crowd of people. Among those people are the Qadi, scholars, and majority of the jurists of the other three branches of Fiqh (i.e. jurisprudence) and the people of the city. They carry chandeliers and big candles in their hands. (Al-Jami’-ul-Lateef, pp. 285, summarised)

Today Islamic Topic: The Perfect Sign of Islamic Faith

The Revered and Renowned Rasool صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said:

لَا یُؤْمِنُ اَحَدُکُمْ حَتّٰی اَکُوْنَ اَحَبَّ اِلَیْەٖ مِن وَالِدِہٖ وَ وَلَدِہٖ وَالنَّاسِ اَجْمَعِیْن

i.e. None of you can become a Momin unless he holds me dearer to his mother, his father, children and all the people.

(Sahih Bukhari, vol. 1, pg. 17, Hadith 15)

Commenting on the above blessed Hadith, ‘Allamah Shamsuddin Safeeri Shaafi’i رَحْمَةُ اللّٰەِ عَلَيْه (whose year of demise was 956 AH) stated in the commentary of Bukhaari: This implies that no one’s faith is perfect unless he holds the Holy Prophet Muhammad Mustafa صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم dearer than his offspring and parents. Therefore, if a person does not hold the Holy Prophet Muhammad Mustafa صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم dearer than his offspring and parents, he has a defect in his faith.

(Sharh Bukhari lis-Safeeri, vol. 1, pg. 405)

‘Allamah Ibn Battal رَحْمَةُ اللّٰەِ عَلَيْه stated: The right of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم over his Ummati is greater than that of offspring, parents and all other people because it is the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم who has saved us from Hell and has blessed us with true guidance, protecting from misguidance. (Sharh Bukhari lis-Safeeri, vol. 1, pg. 405)

How greatly devotion to the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has been emphasized by the Holy Quran can be realized by reading the following surah:

قُلْ اِنْ كَانَ اٰبَآؤُكُمْ وَ اَبْنَآؤُكُمْ وَ اِخْوَانُكُمْ وَ اَزْوَاجُكُمْ وَ عَشِیْرَتُكُمْ وَ اَمْوَالُ

اﰳقْتَرَفْتُمُوْهَا وَ تِجَارَةٌ تَخْشَوْنَ كَسَادَهَا وَ مَسٰكِنُ

 تَرْضَوْنَهَاۤ اَحَبَّ اِلَیْكُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَ رَسُوْلِهٖ وَ جِهَادٍ فِیْ سَبِیْلِهٖ فَتَرَبَّصُوْا

حَتّٰى یَاْتِیَ اللّٰهُ بِاَمْرِهٖؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ لَا یَهْدِی الْقَوْمَ الْفٰسِقِیْنَ۠

 Say you (O Beloved), ‘If, your fathers, and your sons, and your brothers, and your wives, and your family, and your acquired wealth, and the trade in which you fear a loss, and the houses of your liking; (all) these things are dearer to you than Allah and His Messenger and fighting in His Path, then wait until Allah sends His command (punishment); and Allah does not guide the transgressors.’

[Kanz-ul-Iman (translation of the Quran)] (Part 10, Surah Al-Taubah, Ayah 24)

Different levels of devotion

1 Imam Shahabuddin Ahmad Bin Muhammad Qastalani رَحْمَةُ اللّٰەِ عَلَيْه stated: The culmination of devotion is that one prefers the wish of his beloved to his own wish. (Irshad-us-Saari, vol. 1, pg. 164, Taht-al-Hadith: 14)

2 Sayyiduna Abu ‘Abdullah Qurashi رَحْمَةُ اللّٰەِ عَلَيْه stated: Real devotion means that the devotee presents his everything to his beloved and does not keep anything with him. (Risalah Qushayriyah, pg. 351)

3 Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Shibli رَحْمَةُ اللّٰەِ عَلَيْه stated: Devotion is called devotion for the reason that it wipes out everything from the heart except for the beloved. (Risalah Qushayriyah, pg. 351)

The above blessed Hadith included in Bukhari mentions one’s father, offspring and all people. In fact, one’s own being is also included in it. Therefore, this Hadith does not mean that one should only have devotion to the Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم more than his father and offspring but should hold himself dearer than the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. If so hapgens, he will not have perfection in his faith. It is stated in a blessed Hadith that Sayyiduna ‘Umar رَضِىَ اللّٰەُ عَنْهُ humbly said to the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, ‘Except for my life, I hold you dearer than anything else.’ The Greatest and Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘(Faith will not be perfect) unless I become the dearest to you.’ Sayyiduna ‘Umar رَضِىَ اللّٰەُ عَنْهُ respectfully said, ‘Your Eminence! You have become dearer to me than even my life.’ He صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘O ‘Umar! Now (your faith has become perfect).’ (Sahih Bukhari, vol. 4, pg. 283, Hadith 6632; ‘Umda-tul-Qari, vol. 15, pg. 687, Taht-al-Hadith: 6632)

What does devotion require us to do?

Devotion to the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم requires that his Sunnah be acted upon, his religion be helped and his blessed sayings and actions be followed. Whatever he صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has commanded, should be enthusiastically carried out and whatever he صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has forbidden, should be avoided.

Mention of devotees

1 One day, Sayyiduna Sawban رَضِىَ اللّٰەُ عَنْهُ came to the blessed court of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم with a different complexion. On his face was a look of grief and gloom. The Greatest and Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم asked him the reason of anxiety, so he humbly said, ‘O Rasool of Allah! I have neither any pain nor any disease but I get anxious when I do not see you. On the Day of Judgement, even if I enter Paradise, I will get a place and a status, according to my deeds, whereas your status will be highest of all. Your Majesty! How will I be able to get to there? If I do not behold you, what pleasure will I derive from Paradise?’ Comforting him, the following verse of the Holy Quran was revealed:

وَ مَنْ یُّطِعِ اللّٰهَ وَ الرَّسُوْلَ فَاُولٰٓىٕكَ مَعَ الَّذِیْنَ اَنْعَمَ اللّٰهُ عَلَیْهِمْ مِّنَ النَّبِیّٖنَ وَ الصِّدِّیْقِیْنَ وَ الشُّهَدَآءِ وَ الصّٰلِحِیْنَۚ-وَ حَسُنَ اُولٰٓىٕكَ رَفِیْقًاؕ

And he who obeys Allah and His Messenger, will be with those upon whom Allah has bestowed favour, i.e. the Prophets, and the (exceptionally) truthful ones, and the martyrs and the virtuous; and what excellent companions they are.

[Kanz-ul-Iman (translation of Quran)] (Tafseer-e-Baghwi, part 5, An-Nisa, Taht-al-Ayah: 69, vol. 1, pg. 358, summarised)

2 Imam Safeeri رَحْمَةُ اللّٰەِ عَلَيْه stated: A woman respectfully said to Sayyidatuna ‘Aishah رَضِىَ اللّٰەُ عَنْهَا, ‘Make me behold the blessed grave of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.’ She was shown the blessed grave; she got into such an overwhelming condition that she continued to cry until she passed away. (Sharh Bukhari lis-Safeeri, vol. 1, pg. 408)

3 Imam Maalik رَحْمَةُ اللّٰەِ عَلَيْه was asked about Sayyiduna Ayyub Sakhtiyani رَحْمَةُ اللّٰەِ عَلَيْه, so he replied: When he [i.e. Sayyiduna Ayyub Sakhtiyani] heard anything about the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, he would weep so much that I felt pity on him. (Ash-Shifa bi-Ta’reef Huqooq-il-Mustafa, vol. 2, pg. 41, summarised)

4 When the Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was mentioned in front of Imam Ibn Shahab Zuhri رَحْمَةُ اللّٰەِ عَلَيْه, he felt such an overwhelming condition that it looked as if neither we knew him nor did he know us. (Ibid, pg. 42, summarised)

5 When the Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was mentioned in the presence of Sayyiduna ‘Amir Bin ‘Abdullah Bin Zubair رَحْمَةُ اللّٰەِ عَلَيْه, he would weep so much that no tear remained in his eyes. (Ibid)

6 When the Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was mentioned in the presence of Sayyiduna Safwan Bin Sulaym رَحْمَةُ اللّٰەِ عَلَيْه, he would weep for so long that people left him behind. (Ibid, pg. 43, summarised)

An excellent way of having affection for the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is to join the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami. Affiliated with it, millions of people have developed deep affection and devotion to the Revered and Renowned Rasool صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.

Sarshaar mujhay ker day aik jaam-e-labalab say

May Almighty Allah bless us with living a life full of affection for His Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم!

Islamic Story: The Affection for Children

There were two brothers, Ahmad and Ali. Ahmad’s elder brother Ali was rude and short-tempered. One day when Ahmad entered his brother’s room, Ali, while rebuking said to him: ‘Ahmad! Who did you ask permission to enter my room? Ahmad hesitantly replied! ‘Brother I I..’ Upon this, Ali reacted angrily and warned:  Shut up! Get lost and if you enter my room next time without my permission! Ahmad started weeping after receiving the rebukes from his brother and went to his mother to inform her about the unfair attitude of Ali. She was already worried about Ali’s bad attitude and she had also made Ali understand many a time, but the impact of her efforts would no longer last on him, and he would later again start showing anger at his younger brother ‘Ahmad’.

This time, Ali’s mother made him understand through giving the examples of the blessed manners [Akhlaq-e-Hasanah] of blessed Rasool صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and said: My dear son! You have become mature now. When people grow older they recall the ill-treatment of others that hurt them in their childhood. So you should treat your younger brother, ‘Ahmad’ affectionately so that he may recall your affectionate attitude when he grows older and likes to live with you.

Do you know this fact that that the blessed companion of the Holy Prophet, ‘Sayyiduna Anas رَضِىَ اللّٰەُ عَنْهُ ‘stated: I remained in the blessed company of Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم for ten years but he صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم never said even Ugh [a slight sign of resentment] and nor did he say ever: “Why did you do so-and-so task? Or why did you not carry out so-and-so task?”

(Muslim, pg. 972, Hadith 6010)

Our Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would say Salam to the children when he صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would pass by them. (Bukhari, vol. 4, pp. 170 Hadith 6247) 

Likewise, when the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would return from a journey and children would welcome Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, upon this, he صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would make them sit on his riding animal. When the Muslim army returned from the battle of Mautah, and the people of Madinah welcomed it, children of Madinah ran to the brave victors of Islam and met them. Upon seeing the children, Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: ‘Make the children sit with you on the riding-animals and fetch Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah Bin Ja’far رَضِىَ اللّٰەُ عَنْهُ to me.’ Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah Bin Ja’far رَضِىَ اللّٰەُ عَنْهُ was brought to the Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and he made him sit on his riding animal ahead of him.

(As-Seerat-un-Nabawiyyah, vol. 2, pg. 324)

Mother gently said to Ali: Did you see my dear son! How excellently our Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would show his deep love and affection to the children! Now you should make a promise that you will not show anger to your brother. Thereupon Ali humbly said: Dear Mother! Ahmad enters my room and disarranges my stuff.

Mother: My son! Ahmad is your younger brother and you should treat him gently and affectionately.

Ali: Dear mother! I promise now I will treat Ahmad affectionately in the future, and will not become angry at him. Mother kissed Ali’s forehead and made many Du’as for him.

Dear children! Show affection to the younger children at home because showing affection to children is a Sunnah act and do not become ever a cause of worries for your family but rather please your parents and receive their Du’as.

May Allah grant us the blessings of the great moral conduct of His Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللّٰەُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.
