Tabligh Jamaat six points explanation । Tablighi Jamaat six points for Muslims

Tabligh Jamaat six points explanation । Tablighi Jamaat six points for Muslims

Introduction:

In the chaos of modern civilization—especially in today’s fast-paced digital world—when people often lose touch with inner peace, Tabligh Jamaat quietly emerges as a guiding light. It is not a political group, nor a revolutionary movement. Rather, it is a gentle call for self-purification, building a bridge between the core teachings of Islam and the way we live our daily lives. Tabligh Jamaat encourages people to return to prayer, truthfulness, kindness, and the peaceful message of Islam—without argument, pressure, or confrontation.

What makes this movement special is its silent dedication, humility, and the power of leading by example. Whether in the busy streets of a city or the calm prayer halls of a rural mosque, every member of Tabligh Jamaat becomes a quiet inviter—reminding others, through their actions, of the true purpose of life.

اَلْحَمْدُ وَالثَّنَاءُ لِلّٰهِ تَعَالٰی – اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ حَمْدًا لَآ إِبْتِدَاءَ لِحَدِّه – وَلَا إِنْتِهَاءَ لِعَدَدِہ، لآ إِتِّسَاعَ لِغَایَتِه ۔ وَلَا إِنْقِطَاعَ لِأَمَدِه، حَمْدًا يَکُوْنُ وَسِيْلَةً إِلٰى طَاعَتِه وَغُفْرَانِه وَذُرِّيْعَةً إِلٰى مَعْرِفَتِه وَرِضْوَانِه اَلَا لَهٌ الْخَلْقُ وَلَهُ الْأَمْرُ وَأَلَا لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِيْ وَيُمِيْتُ وَهُوَ حَيْیٌ لَّايَمُوْتُ بِيَدِه الْخَيْرُ وَهُوَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْئٍ قَدِيْرُ –

The great companions – may Allah be pleased with them all – were deeply enriched with many admirable qualities through their close association with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). If we strive to implement these qualities in our lives, practicing Islam becomes much easier and more natural.

Here are some of those essential qualities:

1. Kalima (Declaration of Faith)
2. Salaat (Establishing regular prayers)
3. Ilm and Dhikr (Acquiring knowledge and remembrance of Allah)
4. Ikram al-Muslimeen (Respecting fellow Muslims)
5. Ikhlas an-Niyah (Sincerity and purity of intention)
6. Dawat and Tabligh (Inviting others to the path of Islam)

By working on these qualities with sincerity, we can more easily walk the path of faith and gain closeness to Allah.

A Simple and Heartfelt Explanation of the Six Core Qualities

1. Kalimah Tayyibah

   “La ilaha illallah Muhammadur Rasulullah”
   Meaning: There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah.

Purpose of the Kalimah:
Everything we see or don’t see with our eyes is created by Allah — they are all His creations (makhluq). And no creation has the power to do anything without the will of Allah. Only Allah has absolute power. Through the enlightened path (noorani tareeqah) of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, both peace and success can be attained in this world and the Hereafter.

Benefit of the Kalimah:
Whoever recites this Kalimah with sincerity and firm belief, even once, Allah promises to forgive all his past sins. In one Hadith, it is said that whoever recites this Kalimah 100 times a day, their face will shine like the full moon on the Day of Judgment.

How to attain this quality:
I will recite this Kalimah frequently, learn its virtues, share its message with others, and pray for the entire Ummah.

2. Salah (Prayer)

Purpose of Salah:
To try and develop the ability to perform Salah exactly as taught by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and practiced by the noble companions (Sahabah رضي الله عنهم).

Virtues of Salah:
Whoever performs all five daily prayers on time and with devotion, Allah will personally guarantee that person entry into Paradise. Those who protect their Salah will be under Allah’s care. But those who neglect Salah will not have Allah’s protection.

A Hadith mentions that the one who properly performs the five daily prayers will receive five rewards:

1. Relief from worldly financial stress.
2. Protection from the torment of the grave.
3. Their record of deeds will be given in their right hand.
4. They will cross the bridge of Sirat with lightning speed.
5. They will enter Paradise without any reckoning.

How to attain this quality:
I will perform all five daily prayers in congregation, be attentive to both obligatory and Sunnah prayers, and make up any missed prayers. I will increase my optional (nafl) prayers and invite others to do the same by sharing the benefits of Salah and praying for the Ummah of Muhammad ﷺ.

3. Ilm (Religious Knowledge) & Dhikr (Remembrance of Allah)

Purpose:
To understand what Allah has commanded and what He has forbidden, and then to act upon that knowledge by following the noble path (Sunnah) of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

Virtue:
When a person steps out of their home with the intention of seeking knowledge, even the fish in the oceans and the ants in their holes make dua (supplication) for their forgiveness. According to a Hadith, whoever goes out seeking knowledge, Allah forgives all of their past sins.

How to develop this quality:
I will dedicate time daily to learning the teachings of Islam and engage in the remembrance (dhikr) of Allah. I will also encourage others to seek knowledge and live by it, praying for the guidance of the Ummah.

4. Ikramul-Muslimeen (Honoring Fellow Muslims)

Purpose:
To understand and respect the value and dignity of every Muslim brother. It also includes showing kindness and compassion to all creations of Allah.

Virtue: (Fozilot)

1. If a person goes out with the intention of helping a fellow Muslim, Allah will reward them more than ten years of i’tikaf (spiritual retreat) in the masjid.
2. Whoever fulfills just one need of a Muslim brother, Allah will fulfill seventy-three of their needs — one in this world, and seventy-two in the Hereafter.

How to develop this quality:
We honor the scholars, respect our elders, and show affection to those younger than us. We share the virtues of honoring others and invite fellow Muslims to adopt this beautiful trait. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
“Whoever does not show respect in these three areas is not from my Ummah.”

Let us embrace Ikram and bring unity, love, and dignity into the hearts of the Ummah.

5. Purifying the Intention (Tashhiḥ al-Niyyah)

Purpose:
Whatever good deed we perform—whether big or small—our intention should be to please Allah alone.

Virtue:
If someone donates even a small date with a sincere and pure intention, Allah will multiply it on the Day of Judgment to the size of Mount Uhud in reward. But if someone gives away mountains of wealth without the right intention, they won’t even receive the reward equal to a mustard seed.

In another Hadith, the Prophet ﷺ said:
“The eye that sheds tears out of fear of Allah will be protected from the fire of Hell.”

How to develop this quality:
Before I begin any action, I will pause and ask myself:
Is this something Allah has commanded?
Is it according to the way of the Prophet ﷺ?
And most importantly—am I doing it purely to please Allah?

I will also begin and end my actions with istighfar (seeking forgiveness), reflect on the blessings of sincere intentions, invite others to be mindful of their intentions, and pray for the entire Ummah to achieve ikhlas (sincerity).

6. Dawah and Tabligh (Inviting to the Path of Allah)

Purpose:
To spend our life, wealth, and time in the path of Allah, learning how to use these blessings correctly. It is also about following the enlightened way (noorani tareeqah) of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, learning and spreading the message of Islam with love and sincerity.

Virtue:
When someone spends even a single unit of wealth for the sake of Allah while out in His path, Allah grants them the reward of spending 700,000 units in charity. For each good deed done while in this effort, Allah rewards it 490 million times. Even praying a single salah (prayer) brings the reward of 490 million salahs!

One Hadith states:
“The dust from the path of Allah and the smoke of Hell will never combine on a person.”

How to develop this quality:
To truly learn this work, one should first dedicate four months (called “three chillas”) to understand the effort of Dawah and the method of the Prophet ﷺ.

Alhamdulillah! I am ready. Are you ready too?

For non-scholars, the initial learning starts with four continuous months. For scholars (ulama), the goal is to go out for one full year to master this effort of Dawah and make a lifelong intention to carry on this mission.

Our regular practice should be:

• One chilla (40 days) every year
• Three days each month
• Two local visits (gasht) every week
• 2.5 hours of daily effort in dawah

Every day, we should do taalim (Islamic study)—one session in the mosque and one at home. After one of the daily prayers, we hold a short consultation, invite others, and end with du’a (supplication).

By making this effort part of our life, we not only strengthen our own faith but also help others find their way back to Allah—with love, humility, and dedication.

Eight Collective Practices (Ijtima’i A’mal):

1. Journey and Destination (Safar & Manzil)
2. Consultation (Mashwara)
3. Ta’leem (Learning & Teaching)
4. Gasht (Visiting and Inviting)
5. Fardh Salah (Obligatory Prayers)
6. Meals (Khana)
7. Rest (Ghum)
8. General Talk (Umumi Bayan)

1. Journey and Destination (Safar & Manzil):

Safar literally means to travel — in practice, it refers to moving from one place to another in the path of Allah.
Manzil refers to the designated stopping point where a group (Jamaat) pauses before entering the masjid upon reaching their destination.

2. Mashwara (Consultation):

Mashwara is an Arabic word that means consultation. In Islam, it is a command of Allah, a Sunnah of the Prophets, and a defining trait of true believers.

Purpose of Mashwara:

To engage fellow companions in thinking and planning for the efforts of deen.

Three Key Topics of Consultation:

1. How can we arrange for every home in the area to have at least one adult male, while encouraging the rest to go out in the path of Allah?
2. How can we make ourselves and our brothers into sincere, practicing believers and callers to Islam?
3. If the five core efforts of Tabligh are active in the mosque, how can we strengthen them? And if they are not active, how can we initiate them?

Benefits of Mashwara:

1. Brings barakah (blessing) and goodness in our actions.
2. Creates unity, love, and strong bonding among companions.
3. Prevents disputes and unnecessary embarrassment.
4. Brings the blessings of divine guidance (similar to revelation).
5. Protects the group from harm and mistakes.

Etiquettes of Mashwara:

1. Appoint a responsible, mature, and wise leader before the mashwara begins.
2. Share your thoughts starting from the right side of the Ameer.
3. Never look down upon anyone’s opinion.
4. Keep your focus on the needs of the deen, not personal benefit.
5. If your suggestion is accepted, don’t be proud—recite Istighfar (seeking forgiveness).
6. If your opinion is not accepted, don’t feel upset—say Alhamdulillah (all praise to Allah).
7. Don’t engage in discussion before the official mashwara, and don’t criticize decisions afterward.
8. Stand firm on the decision made by the Ameer (leader).
9. The Ameer may choose to follow the group’s consensus or make his own decision based on wisdom.

3. Ta’leem (Religious Learning and Teaching)

Etiquette of Listening to Ta’leem:

1. Listen with the ears of the heart—with full focus and sincerity.
2. Listen with the intention to act upon what is being learned.
3. Listen with the intention to pass it on to others.
4. Look at the speaker (mutakallim) while they speak to stay engaged.

Etiquette of Sitting During Ta’leem:

1. Everyone should sit facing the speaker.
2. Sit closely together, shoulder to shoulder.
3. Sit with wudu (ablution).
4. Apply fragrance before joining.
5. Wear proper clothes and cover the head (e.g., with a cap).
6. Sit in the manner of the Sunnah (e.g., humbly and respectfully).

Rights of Ta’leem (How to Respond During the Session):

1. When Allah’s name is mentioned, say “Jalla Jalaluhu”.
2. When the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is mentioned, say “Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam”.
3. When the names of other Prophets or angels are mentioned, say “Alaihis Salaam”.
4. When male companions (Sahabah) are mentioned, say “Radiyallahu Ta’ala Anhu”, and for female companions, say “Radiyallahu Ta’ala Anha”.
5. When the names of righteous scholars or elders are mentioned, say “Damat Barakatuhum” if they are alive, and “Rahmatullahi Alaih” if they have passed away.

4. Fardh Salah (Obligatory Prayer)

Salah (prayer) is included as a collective practice because it is performed in congregation, at the same time and place, with unity of the body and heart. When believers stand shoulder to shoulder in prayer, it strengthens the spirit of togetherness and discipline in the Ummah.

5. Gasht (Visiting and Inviting for Islam)

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used to personally engage in gasht—moving from place to place, inviting people towards the message of Islam.

What is Gasht?
The word “gasht” is of Persian origin and means “to move around.” In the context of Tabligh, it refers to walking through neighborhoods and local areas, going door to door to remind fellow Muslims about the importance of faith, prayer, and righteous living.

Types of Gasht (Visiting for Islamic Invitation)

There are five types of Gasht (neighborhood visits) in the effort of Dawah:

1. Khusoosi (Special Visit)
2. Umumi (General Visit)
3. Ta’leemi (Educational Visit)
4. Tashkeeli (Organizational Visit)
5. Usooli (Principled/Structured Visit)

1. Khusoosi Gasht (Special Visit)

This is a targeted visit where the jamaat (group) goes into the neighborhood and gives dawah (invitation) specifically to three categories of people:

1. Worldly Leaders – Respected, influential figures in the society like community elders, local leaders, chairmen, and public representatives.
2. Workplace Leaders – Those who lead or influence groups professionally.
3. Religious Leaders – Scholars or individuals influential in the religious domain.

How the Invitation is Given:
First, we greet them with salaam and a warm handshake, introduce ourselves, and explain that a jamaat has come to the area to work for the revival of deen (faith). Then we share the message:

“Since no new Prophet will come after Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, the responsibility of spreading deen now rests upon us, the Ummah. This noble task must continue until our last breath. Are we ready to carry this Prophetic mission together?”

Rewards for Participating in This Effort:

• For every step taken, 700 rewards are recorded, 700 sins forgiven, and 700 ranks in Jannah (Paradise) are raised.
• The dust that gathers on the feet while walking in Allah’s path will never be touched by the fire of Hell.
• Each sincere word spoken brings the reward of one year of worship.
• Waiting for a few minutes while on this mission is greater than standing between the Kaaba’s door and the Hajr-e-Aswad in worship.

Motivational Reminder:

“So dear brothers, are we ready to go out for this work today?”

We will now head out into the locality with this sacred invitation. It’s helpful to have a local guide (rahbar) who knows the area. Who would like to volunteer? The Prophet ﷺ made special dua for those who lead such efforts — for mercy and forgiveness.

Structure of the Visit:

1. One Ameer (Leader) and one Mutakallim (Speaker) will be appointed before heading out.
2. At the gate, the Ameer will instruct everyone to guard their gaze, walk humbly with lowered eyes, stay on the right side of the road, and not exchange greetings unnecessarily with people like security guards or police officers.
3. The Rahbar (Local Guide) should praise the individual being approached, respectfully divert them from worldly distractions, and hand them over to the Mutakallim.
4. The Mutakallim will then give the Dawah focused on three key topics:
   • Tawheed (Oneness of Allah)
   • Aakhirah (Hereafter)
   • Risaalah (Prophethood of Muhammad ﷺ)
     And encourage the person to come directly to the mosque. If not possible, we’ll leave them with a positive impression and a commitment to consider the invitation.
5. After the visit, the Ameer’s responsibility is to:
   • Keep the group focused and disciplined.
   • If there’s a delay or distraction, gather the group using Takbeer.
   • Return to the mosque while reciting Istighfar, and rejoin the collective efforts (ijtima’i a’mal).

Reflections on Faith and Conviction (Iman & Yaqeen)

Belief in Allah as the Sole Provider:
Allah is the One who provides sustenance to all of His creation.
Deep in the oceans live blue whales. Each blue whale consumes about 2.5 tons of giant shrimp every single day. And there are thousands of such whales in the sea. It is Allah alone who feeds each of them—daily—without fail.

In the forests, we see powerful animals like elephants, tigers, bears, lions, and deer. All of them consume large quantities of food every day. A tiger needs fresh meat, while an elephant eats hundreds of kilograms of vegetation. But none of them earn or work for their food—Allah provides for them through His will and wisdom.

During the time of Prophet Musa (peace be upon him), around 600,000 people were with him. Allah fed them for 40 years with food directly from the heavens—Manna and Salwa, a meal from Paradise itself. They never had to labor for it.

That same Allah still exists today. His power and ability to provide never diminished—and will never diminish. His treasures have no limits.

The Angel of Death — Azra’il (A.S.):
Azra’il (peace be upon him) is the angel appointed by Allah to take the souls of all living beings. For him, the entire earth appears like a flat tray. Sitting in one place, he takes the souls of humans and animals across the globe. He doesn’t need to move from place to place.

If the whole world looks like a small plate to Azra’il (A.S.), imagine how vast and mighty he must be!
Now ask yourself: How great must be Allah, the One who created such a powerful being?
SubhanAllah! We cannot even imagine His greatness.

The Angel Israfil (A.S.):
Israfil (peace be upon him) has been holding the trumpet, waiting for Allah’s command to blow it.
When he does, the heavens will shatter, the earth will split apart, and everything in existence will be destroyed. That single breath will bring the Day of Judgment.

If his trumpet blast holds such unfathomable power, imagine the strength of his body—and again, reflect on the infinite power of the One who created him.
SubhanAllah!

The Greatness of Angel Jibreel (A.S.):
Angel Jibreel (Gabriel, peace be upon him) was created by Allah with extraordinary might and stature. When he stands, his feet are on the earth and his head reaches the sky.
Even if all the waters of the world’s oceans were poured over his head, not a single hair on his head would get wet.

How massive must his body be, if his head alone is that large?
And once again—what about the greatness of Allah, the One who created Jibreel (A.S.) with such majesty?

Allah’s Provision for Humanity:
Every single day, over 350,000 babies are born worldwide. For each baby, Allah provides:

• Two eyes
• Two kidneys
• A heart with valves
• Two hands
• Two feet
• And countless other systems working in perfect harmony

This happens daily, from the endless treasures of Allah.

Conclusion:
The signs of Allah’s greatness are all around us—in the skies, in the oceans, in the forests, and within ourselves.
When we reflect on these signs, our faith (Iman) strengthens, and our conviction (Yaqeen) becomes unshakable.
Let us recognize the immense mercy, power, and wisdom of our Creator—and live a life devoted to Him alone.

SubhanAllah! Alhamdulillah! La ilaha illallah! Allahu Akbar!

الحمد لله الذي اطعمنا وسقانا وجعلنا من المسلمين
(All praise is due to Allah who fed us, gave us drink, and made us among the Muslims.)

After a meal at a dawah gathering, recite:
“Allahumma at’im man at’amani wasqi man saqani.”

اللهم اطعم من اطعمني واسق من سقاني
(O Allah, feed the one who fed me and give drink to the one who gave me drink.)

1. Fold up the mat (dastarkhwan) before standing up.
2. Express gratitude to Allah for the meal.
3. Eat with mindfulness, knowing that this is a blessing and an amanah (trust).
4. Sit in multiple rows if needed, maintaining order and respect.

These etiquettes are from the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ and following them turns eating into an act of worship, full of reward and blessings.

7. Sleep – A Blessed Gift from Allah

Sleep is one of the greatest blessings from Allah. It refreshes the body, calms the mind, and allows the soul to rest. If approached with the right intentions and Sunnah etiquettes, even sleep becomes an act of worship.

Sunnah Practices Before and During Sleep:

1. After Isha prayer, avoid worldly talk and prepare for sleep quickly.
2. Sleep with wudu (ablution) for spiritual purity.
3. Dust the bed three times before lying down.
4. Apply kohl (surma) to both eyes three times each.
5. Recite the Kalimah Tayyibah: La ilaha illallah Muhammadur Rasulullah.
6. Recite Tasbeeh Fatimi:
   • 33 times SubhanAllah,
   • 33 times Alhamdulillah,
   • 34 times Allahu Akbar.
7. Recite the Four Quls:

    (O Allah, in Your name I die and in Your name I live.)
11. If you can’t fall asleep, keep reciting Durood Shareef (salutations upon the Prophet ﷺ).
12. If you see a bad dream, turn slightly to your left side and gently spit three times, then recite:
    “A’udhu billahi minash-shaytan wa sharri hadhihir ru’ya”
    (I seek refuge in Allah from Shaytan and from the evil of this dream.)

After Waking Up:

1. Say “Alhamdulillah” three times, expressing gratitude to Allah for giving you life again.
2. Recite the Kalimah Tayyibah.
3. Then say the dua:
   “Alhamdulillahi alladhi ahyana ba’da ma amatana wa ilayhin-nushoor.”
   (All praise is for Allah who gave us life after death, and to Him is the return.)

8. General Bayan (Umomi Boyaan)

Dear brothers and respected elders,
All praise is due to Allah, through His mercy and grace, we—people from different backgrounds—have gathered here, performed the Maghrib prayer in congregation, and are now sitting together with a concern for Deen. Let us all say from our hearts: Alhamdulillah.

Allah says in the Qur’an: لئن شكرتم لازيدنكم ولئن كفرتم ان عذابي لشدید
“If you are grateful, I will surely increase your blessings; but if you are ungrateful, My punishment is indeed severe.”
(– Surah Ibrahim, 14:7)

This gathering itself is a great blessing. The more we show gratitude, the more Allah will bless us.

The Path to Peace, Success, and Salvation

True peace, lasting success, and eternal salvation—for all of humanity—can only be found in living according to Deen (Islamic way of life). And Deen can only be established in our lives when we make an effort for it.

Whoever sincerely dedicates their life, wealth, and time to strive in the path of Allah, following the correct method, InshaAllah, they will be granted the ability to live a life according to complete Deen.

Deen is beloved to Allah. It spread on earth through the effort of Dawah—the call to faith.
Dawah is the labor of Imaan. After Prophet Isa (peace be upon him), for over 600 years, the work of dawah was neglected. As a result, 360 idols were placed in the sacred House of Allah (Ka’bah).

But once people accepted faith and reignited dawah, those same idols were removed.

This World Is the Field for the Hereafter

The Qur’an tells us:
“This world is like a farm, and the Hereafter is the harvest.”
This world is the place to earn, and the Hereafter is the place to enjoy what we earned.

If someone doesn’t toil in the field, how will they harvest anything when they return home?
Similarly, if a believer strives here with Imaan and good deeds, they will return to an eternal home where whatever the heart desires will be theirs.

But one who seeks only comfort and luxury here, without effort for the Hereafter, will return empty-handed—and face only regret and hardship there.

The Purpose of Creation

Allah created mankind for His worship.
He created 17,999 other forms of creation—visible and invisible—to serve humanity.

But Allah did not place success, peace, or true wealth in property, position, or possessions.
He placed it in Imaan (faith) and A’mal (righteous deeds).

There are five eternal desires of every human—things they chase their entire lives:

1. Eternal life
2. Eternal youth
3. Luxurious homes and beds
4. Unlimited food and drinks
5. Beautiful companions

These can’t be gained by effort alone. They are only available in the Hereafter—and only Allah controls them.

Allah says:
“If you live in this world according to My commandments and the path of My Messenger ﷺ, I will fulfill these desires for you in the Hereafter.”

The True Value of Imaan

Imaan means to believe in the unseen.
It cannot be bought in any market.
It can only be achieved through the effort of Dawah.

If Dawah remains, Deen will remain.
If Deen remains, the world will remain.
If Dawah stops, Deen will fade, and so will the stability of the world.
And when that happens, Allah will dismantle the system of the world.

Now Is the Time to Rise

Allah has sent us into this world for a short and temporary period. Within this brief stay, we must strive to build Imaan and righteous deeds in our lives.

So, brothers—who is ready to dedicate their life, wealth, and time in the path of Allah?

Who is ready to go out for 1 Chilla (40 days), or 3 Chillas (4 months) to learn and spread Deen?

Let us respond with hearts full of joy and say:
Alhamdulillah!

Post-Fajr Reminder – A Reflection on Gratitude and Prayer

Alhamdulillah! All praise belongs to Allah, who awakened us from the sleep of semi-death and gave us the ability to perform the two rakats of Fajr prayer in congregation, with the first takbeer, in the masjid.

Last night, people spent the same time in very different ways.
Some took the night as a golden opportunity and spent it in worship and devotion, while others used the same night for sins like adultery, theft, robbery, and violence.
Some spent the night in hospitals in pain, and for some, their sleep became eternal—they passed away.

But those who heard the Fajr adhan, made wudu, and set out for the masjid—they are the fortunate ones. Every step they take is rewarded with a good deed and the wiping away of a sin. As long as they wait in the masjid for prayer, they continue to earn reward equal to the prayer itself.

Unimaginable Rewards of Salah

• While standing in prayer, every letter of recitation earns 100 rewards (Neaki).
• If prayed sitting, 50 rewards (Neaki) per letter are recorded.
• Joining the first takbeer is better than every good deed in the world combined.
• Salah is the greatest form of jihad.
• When a person goes into ruku (bowing), it is as if they have donated their own body weight in gold in Allah’s path.
• While sitting for At-Tahiyyat, the reward equals the deeds of Prophets Ayub (A.S.) and Yaqub (A.S.).
• A supplication without sending salawat (blessings) upon the Prophet ﷺ remains suspended between the heavens and the earth.
• When one turns their head to the right during salam, the 8 doors of Jannah open. When turning to the left, the 7 doors of Hell close.

Extraordinary Blessings Beyond Salah

• If someone stays seated after salah next to a person engaged in dhikr (remembrance), they get the reward of freeing 4 slaves, each worth 12,000 USD—a reward worth 48,000 USD.
• If one offers 2 rakats of Ishraq prayer 22/23 minutes after sunrise, they receive the reward of a complete Hajj and Umrah.
• If they pray 2 more rakats, Allah takes personal responsibility for their entire day.

The Power of Morning Dhikr

• If one recites the last verses of Surah Hashr, 70,000 angels make dua for their forgiveness until the evening. If recited after Maghrib, the angels continue praying through the night.
• Saying SubhanAllah 100 times earns the reward of freeing 100 slaves.
• Saying Alhamdulillah 100 times earns the reward of donating 100 horses fully equipped for battle in Allah’s path.
• Saying La ilaha illallah 100 times fills the space between the heavens and the earth with good deeds.

Whoever recites: لا اله الا الله وحده لا شريك له احد اصمد الم يلد ولم يولد ولم يكن له كفوا احد –
“La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lahu, ahadun samad, lam yalid wa lam yulad, wa lam yakun lahu kufuwan ahad”
receives the reward of 20 million good deeds!

The Value of Following the Sunnah

The Prophet ﷺ said: من تمسك بسنتى عند فساد امتی فله اجر مأة شهيد.
“Whoever holds firmly to my Sunnah during times of corruption in the Ummah will receive the reward of 100 martyrs.”

One properly performed prayer can earn 3,35,54,432 good deeds. But skipping a single prayer brings 80 punishments—if the person makes it up later, 79 may be forgiven, but one could result in up to 288 million years of punishment.

Those who miss prayer suffer great loss, and the responsibility of inviting them lies on us—the Ummah of the Prophet ﷺ.

The Call to Action

If you invite a forgetful soul back to salah and they respond, you will earn the reward of their accepted prayer.
So dear brothers—who among you is ready to go out in dawah (inviting others to Allah)?

Say joyfully: Alhamdulillah!
Let’s go together, for the sake of Allah.

First Gathering or Introductory Talk (Ta’Rufi Boyann)

Alhamdulillah! All praise is due to Allah. Out of His immense kindness, mercy, and grace, He has blessed us with the ability to come to the mosque today. Indeed, Allah guides to the mosque only those whom He loves. Not only that, He has also granted us the opportunity to sit here with a concern for our religion—Deen—which is extremely beloved to Allah.

To establish this Deen in the world, over 100,000 Prophets—some narrations say 124,000—were sent with the same message. The Qur’an declares:
“O people of the world! Accept Allah as One. If you do, you will be successful.”
—which means you will all attain Paradise.

To fulfill this mission of spreading Deen, the Prophets endured countless hardships and sacrifices. Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) walked into the fire of Nimrod. Prophet Yunus (peace be upon him) spent time inside the belly of a fish. When Prophet Nuh (peace be upon him) called his people to Allah, they stoned him so severely that he would collapse under the weight of the rocks. Yet he never gave up on his mission.

After Prophet Isa (peace be upon him), the work of calling people to Allah had paused. By the time Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was sent, the Kaaba had been filled with 360 idols. People had strayed far from the path. Immorality like adultery was openly practiced. Sin had become widespread.

At that moment, Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, sent the Messenger of Peace, our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), to guide mankind. Through his call to Islam—Da’wah—he brought people back under the shade of faith. When the oppression from the disbelievers of Makkah became unbearable, by Allah’s command, he migrated to Madinah.

There, the people of Madinah welcomed him and supported him with their wealth, time, and even their lives. Those who migrated with him were called Muhajir, and those who supported them were called Ansar. When the Muhajirun and Ansar worked together with the Prophet (peace be upon him), Allah caused the light of Deen to shine brightly. That light has now spread across the entire world. The message of Islam has reached every corner of the globe—all through the effort of Da’wah.

So, dear brothers, just as the Prophet (peace be upon him) migrated to Madinah, we too have migrated to your locality for the sake of Deen. If you, like the Ansar, support us with your time and help, it will become easier to carry out the work of Da’wah in this area.

This group will be staying in your mosque for three days.
Which among you are ready to stand beside us and support this noble cause?

Announcement (Eilan)

First Announcement:
Alhamdulillah! A Jamaat (group of brothers) engaged in the blessed effort of Deen has arrived at your local mosque. After each prayer, there will be important discussions or a talk with the local brothers. Let’s all sit together for a while.

Announcement after Asr:
(Before the supplication)
InshaAllah, after the du’a, the Jamaat will go out for neighborhood visitation (Ghusht) and there will be an essential talk in the mosque focused on strengthening our faith and conviction. Everyone is requested to stay—it will benefit us greatly.

Announcement after Maghrib:
InshaAllah, after the next prayer, there will be an important talk about the effort needed to live by and spread true faith and practice. Let’s all sit together. There is much benefit in these gatherings.

Note:

At the end of every activity, please announce the next one. For example, after Zuhr prayer, when reading from the book (Ta’leem), let everyone know the time for the next Ta’leem session. Encourage all to attend.

Let’s Focus on These Four Key Actions:

1. Inviting others to Allah (Da’wah)
2. Learning and teaching Deen (Ta’leem)
3. Praying with devotion
4. Remembering Allah (Dhikr)

Let’s Reduce These Four Things:

1. Spending too much time eating
2. Sleeping excessively
3. Talking about worldly matters
4. Spending unnecessary time outside the mosque

Let’s Completely Avoid These Four Actions:

1. Asking for anything (begging)
2. Pretending to be needy
3. Using others’ belongings without permission
4. Spending beyond our genuine needs

Let’s Stay Connected to These Four Values:

1. Staying involved in collective efforts (Ijtimai Amal)
2. Serving fellow brothers
3. Obeying the appointed leader (Ameer)
4. Remaining consistent in righteous actions

Let’s Stay Away From These Four Harmful Behaviors:

1. Finding faults in others
2. Bringing politics or political discussion into the mosque
3. Disrespecting or harming the rights of the Imam or Muazzin
4. Damaging or misusing anything in the mosque

Responsibilities of the Local Mosque Jamaat (Mosque-Based Group):

What are the five main duties of a mosque-based Jamaat?

1. Spending at least 3 days every month in the path of Allah
2. Doing two visitations (Ghusht) weekly—one in your local mosque and one in a neighboring mosque
3. Holding two daily learning sessions (Ta’leem)—one at home and one in the mosque
4. Engaging in Da’wah work daily for 2.5 to 8 hours
5. Sitting for a brief consultation (Mashwara) every day

Who Are Considered Part of the Mosque-Based Jamaat?

Any Muslim who regularly performs multiple daily prayers in a particular mosque is considered part of that mosque’s local Jamaat. Even if someone prays only Fajr and Isha at the same mosque, they are still a part of that mosque’s Jamaat.

It’s a misunderstanding to think that only those actively engaged in Tablighi efforts are members of the mosque-based Jamaat. Every regular worshipper belongs to it.

1. Spending Three Days Every Month in the Path of Allah

Set aside a fixed week each month to go out in the path of Allah for three days. It shouldn’t be that one month you go out and skip the next. Stay consistent.

For example, if you go in the first week this month, try to stick to the first week in future months too. And it’s even better to align it with the lunar (Hijri) calendar.

2. Two Weekly Neighborhood Visitations (Ghusht)

One of these should be within your local mosque’s area. Strengthening local Da’wah is one of the most essential parts of the work. This local visitation is the backbone of the effort.

The ideal days for makami ghusht (local visitation) are holidays or days when more people are home. The stronger this effort in an area, the more religious the environment becomes. More people start praying, and the awareness of Deen grows.

Plan your entire week around this effort so that each weekly ghusht helps generate new three-day Jamaats.

Treat the weekly ghusht like a harvest day—the fruits of your weekly efforts in calling to Allah are gathered on this day.

Try to bring along those brothers whom you’ve invited throughout the week. If they don’t join this time, reach out again the following week. This is how we slowly build a religious environment in our neighborhoods and villages.

When this work becomes regular, Allah’s mercy and blessings begin to descend. Harmful influences and irreligious atmospheres will fade away. Allah removes trials, hardships, and unrest from such places.

But for this to happen, you must fix a specific day and time for the visitation.
It shouldn’t be random—like one week on Sunday after Asr and the next on Wednesday. That kind of inconsistency makes it hard for people to join and participate.

Second Ghusht (Visitation) in the Neighboring Area

Once the mercy and blessings of Allah begin to take root in your own neighborhood, the surrounding areas—especially those filled with harmful influences—will begin to impact yours. To protect your locality from spiritual harm, it’s essential to spread the light of Deen in neighboring communities as well. This makes the second weekly ghusht to the nearby area absolutely necessary.

Whoever perfects the second ghusht will find the first one becoming stronger too. The strength of the second ghusht directly boosts the enthusiasm and dedication of the first one within your area.

3. Two Daily Ta’leems (Learning Sessions)
4. a) One in the Mosque:
   Hold a daily Ta’leem session in the mosque using the Fazail-e-Amaal book or similar, at a fixed time—either after a specific prayer or whenever the most people are available. This practice of learning and reflection was a core feature of the Prophet’s Mosque (Masjid-e-Nabawi).
5. b) One at Home:
   Just as Deen is important for men, it is equally essential for women. That’s why it is very important to establish a Ta’leem session at home. Choose a time daily when all family members—those with whom gathering is permissible (mahram)—can join. Through this, an atmosphere of Deen will grow within your household. Your wife, children, mother, and sisters will develop a mindset rooted in faith and learn how to live Islam practically.

If no one in the home can teach, then simply repeat what you learned in the mosque to your family. This practice protects the home from the invasion of other (un-Islamic) influences.

4. Daily 2.5 to 8 Hours of Dawah Work

Each day, try to dedicate between 2.5 to 8 hours to go door-to-door in your neighborhood, lane by lane, house by house—over and over again. If you’re unable to give the full 2.5 hours at once, break it into parts. And if that’s still difficult, then give whatever time you can in 24 hours. But know that this is the minimum level of effort.

What should be done during this time?

• Consultation and planning with fellow brothers
• Checking in on old companions
• Meeting new people and encouraging them
• Following up on those who’ve gone out in Jamaat
• Encouraging people to form new Jamaats from local visits

5. Daily Mashwara (Consultation Session)

After any daily prayer, gather the local worshippers for a short session to plan how to revive Deen—focusing especially on your own country, city, and neighborhood. This daily Mashwara is a must—even if no one else joins. Sit alone if needed, even with your back to a pillar in the mosque. InshaAllah, your intention will bring blessings. Eventually, the whole neighborhood will begin to think like you. Soon, everyone will become someone who consults and plans for Deen.

Divide the Work Among the Brothers

To work effectively in your area, calculate the number of homes and divide the locality into four parts. Assign each group of brothers to one section. May Allah grant us the ability to do so sincerely.

3. Be grateful for every opportunity Allah gives you
4. Reflect on Allah’s power each night before sleeping

Seven Reflections from Hazrat Khidr (AS):

1. I’m amazed by one who knows death is certain, yet still laughs
2. I’m surprised by one who knows the world will end, yet is attached to it
3. I’m puzzled by one who believes in fate, yet gets upset when things don’t go his way
4. I’m shocked by one who knows he’ll be accountable in the Hereafter, yet hoards wealth
5. I’m amazed by one who believes in Hellfire, yet still commits sins
6. I’m surprised by one who knows the peace of Paradise, yet seeks comfort in worldly things

Sayings of Our Elders:

Hazrat Maulana Inamul Hasan (RA) said:

“True Imaan is when you trust in Allah’s promises even when reality appears different. True strength is following Allah’s command even when it feels difficult. If a person gains both these strengths, then Allah’s help will always be with them—and no worldly force can defeat someone backed by the power of Allah.”

Imam Ghazali (RA) said:

“If your Deen is like a rose, your words will carry its fragrance. If not, no matter how beautiful the words, they’ll carry no scent.”

Umar (RA) said:

“Desires that go against Shari’ah are what we call the ‘Nafs.’”
Dawah purifies the heart from hidden shirk.
Faith increases through dawah.
Knowledge erases ignorance.
Faith beautifies actions.
Good actions make du’as more likely to be accepted.
When du’as are accepted, Allah gives what you ask for.
Sacrifice your desires to fulfill someone else’s need.
If you don’t do dawah, something else will fill that space—and it won’t be good.
