All praise is to Allah, the Lord of
The Creation, the Most Gracious, the

Rasool SallAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam,
Who sanctified our hearts with the
Love and Affection towards His
Beloved Rasool SallAllahu Alaihi wa
Sallam, Who blessed us the with the
most precious treasure of Iman
(Faith). Countless Salutations,

Sayyiduna wa Mawlana MuHammadur
Rasoolullah Sallallaho Alaihi wa
Sallam, His Blessed Parents, His
entire Family, His Progeny, His
Companions and His Followers!!
AlHamduLILLAH Thumma AlHamduLILLAH!! We
are again blessed with the arrival and
celebration of this Blessed Month of
Rabi al-Noor. May ALLAH SubHanuhu wa
Ta'ala bless us all with the blessings
of this holy month and give us an
opportunity to explore and enjoy the
blessings of this holy month in Madina
al-Munawwarah, the city of HIS Habeeb
al-Kareem Alaihi afDalus Salati wa al-Tasleem...
Aameen!!
Dear Friends! After promising ourselves
to quit the injurious company of the
deviants on the 93rd Urs-e-Razawi, now
it’s time to make ourselves an example
of the blessed teachings of the Beloved
Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu Alaihi wa
Aalihi wa Sallam! Today, it is a tragedy
that we do not derive lessons and
benefits from the teachings of Sayyiduna
Rasoolullah SallAllahu Alaihi wa Aalihi
wa Sallam as his faithful followers
ought to do. The real and true method of
celebrating the birth of the Beloved
Habeeb SallAllahu Alaihi wa Aalihi wa
Sallam is by intensely concentrating on
his actions and trying to benefit as
much as possible from his words. We
should also try to imitate the Noble
Companions Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhum
Ajma'een — the model disciples and
followers, in our homes and outside, in
businesses and private and social
gatherings.
We should celebrate the birth of
Sayyiduna Rasoolullah SallAllahu Alaihi
wa Aalihi wa Sallam with the same glow
and serene devotion as that of the
Companions of the Holy Prophet Radi
Allahu Ta'ala Anhum Ajma'een and the
early Muslims. We profess love for
Sayyiduna Rasoolullah SallAllahu Alaihi
wa Aalihi wa Sallam and express it by
celebrating his birthday. However, our
lives and outlook should bear
remembrance in the true sense of the
word. Now that we have the tremendous
advantage of acquiring and spreading
knowledge, there is no excuse on our
part for not following the life and
teachings of the Holy Prophet SallAllahu
Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam to reinforce
and fasten our covenant with Allah
SubHanuhu wa Ta’ala.
Let us make ourselves ready to welcome
the Blessed Month of Rabi' al-Awwal
Sharif with some special gifts and
pleasant changes in ourselves. There are
plenty of things we can do, for e.g.
1. We can try to recite the Holy Quran
al-Kareem at least once in a day. Let it
be One Ayah, One Ruku', One Chapter or
as much as we can.
2. We must try our level best to offer
all five (5) obligatory prayers at their
particular timings and not to leave
Jama’ah (Congregation), especially the
FAJR Prayer.
3. Try observing a voluntary (nafl) fast
on Monday for thankfulness because the
Holy Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi wa Sallam
himself fasted on this day.
4. My brothers who shave the blessed
Sunnah of Prophet (Peace and Blessings
of Allah be Upon Him) i.e. the beard,
can put their effort to beautify their
faces with the beard. Sayyiduna Ibn
‘Umar Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anhu reported
that the Messenger of Allah has said,
“Do the opposite of what the polytheists
do; let the beard grow long and clip the
mustache.” A version has, “trim the
mustache down and leave the beard.”
5. My sisters who do not observe a
proper Veil (Hijab) can protect
themselves by observing the proper veil
(Hijab), as it’s also necessary for a
Muslim woman. In Surah 33, Verse 59,
Almighty Allah says: “O Prophet! Enjoin
upon your wives, your daughters and
women believers to draw their clothes
around them. That is more proper, so
that they may be recognized and not be
molested.” A newly converted Muslim
woman when observed Hijab for the first
time, said, “It feels more protected
than having huge security of armed
forces” – wa alHamduLILLAH
6. Let us delete all movies and songs
saved in our PCs, laptops, iPods, cell
phones or any other device and move the
CDs, DVDs and cassettes to the trash
bin. It is stated in Bayhaqi's Shu'ab
al-Iman and Kanz al-'Ummal that Prophet
(Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon
Him) said, “Songs (Music) cultivate
Nifaq (evil) in the minds similar to
water growing the crop”
7. We can make an attempt to feed the
poor and destitute according to our own
ability.
8. We can try making arrangements for
clothes or other requirements of someone
in need or of a widow.
9. We can make an effort and make
arrangements for the fees and books of a
poor or orphan child.
10. Try making arrangements for the
medicines of a needy patient or at least
helping his family with clothing and
other requirements.
To
conclude,
If we ascetically act upon all the above
said advices or even few of them, I am
pretty sure that we would become
eligible to be called a practical and
true Muslim. May Allah give us the
tawfeeq, increase our strength and keep
us firm upon whatever good we intend to
do.
Let us offer such special gifts in the
August Court of the Master of the
Mankind, King of the Creation of Allah
Almighty, Our Master, Our Beloved
Prophet MuHammad Sallallaho Alaihi wa
Sallam on his Birthday. May ALLAH Azza
wa Jall and His Beloved Prophet (Peace
and Blessings of Allah be Upon Him)
accept our humble presents… Aameen!!
JazakALLAHu Khariah aHsan al-Jaza fid
Daarain in anticipation and the Blessed
Month of Rabi' al-Noor Mubarak to
everyone once again!!
