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

the atmosphere fills with happiness. The lovers of The
Holy Prophet ‫سلّم‬َ ‫سلّى اﷲُس تَعَالٰى َعلَيْسه َواٰله وَس‬
َ ‫ص‬become full of
excitement. Whether he is old or young, every true
Muslim is thinking:

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

siwa’ai iblees ke jahan mein sabhi to khushian mana rahay hain

When the universe was covered in the darkness of

disbelief and idolatry, a light shone in Makka-e-
Mukarrama in the house of Sayyidatuna Amina ‫رَضِيَ اﷲُ عَ ْنهَا‬
which lit up the entire universe. When people were
waiting in anticipation, The Holy Prophet ‫صلّى اﷲُ َتعَالٰى َعلَيْه‬
َ
‫ َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬was sent as a mercy to all the Worlds.

The Holy Prophet ‫صلّى اﷲُ تَعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬

َ arrived on this
th
earth on the 12 of Rabi-un-Noor Shareef at the time of

wanderers had their lives turned upside down and into an
‘enlightened morning’.

MIRACLES

As soon as Allah ‫ عَ ّزوَجَل‬Noor ‫صلّى اﷲُ تَعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬

َ arrived
on this earth, the dark clouds of oppression and disbelief
disappeared. An earthquake struck Iran and fourteen
spikes fell off the palace of the king. A flame which had
been burning continuously for one thousand years was
extinguished. River ‘sava’ became dry. The Ka’ba began
to sway and idols fell face first.

There is no doubt in the fact that The Holy Prophet ُ‫صلّى اﷲ‬
َ
‫ تَعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬arrived as a mercy and indeed that day is a
day of happiness when a mercy is sent by Allah ‫عَ ّزوَجَل‬.
Allah ‫ عَ ّزوَجَل‬says in the Holy Qur’an, Para 11, Surah
Yunus, Verse 58:

Say- you, 'only Allah’s' grace and only His mercy, on it

therefore let them rejoice. That is better than all their wealth.

Allahu-Akbar! To celebrate upon receiving Allah ‫عَ ّزوَجَل‬

blessing is commanded by the Holy Qur’an and can there
be a greater mercy than the Holy Prophet ‫صلّى اﷲُ َتعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله‬
َ
‫ ?وَ َسلّم‬It is clearly stated in the Holy Qur’an, Para 17,
Surah Al-Ambiya, Verse 107:

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

GREATER NIGHT THAN SHAB-E-QADR

Hazrat’e Sayyiduna Sheikh Abdul Haq Muhaddith Dehlvi

‫ َر ْحمَةُ اﷲ َعلَيْه‬says, ‘Indeed, the night The Holy Prophet ُ‫صلّى اﷲ‬
َ
‫َسسلّم‬
َ ‫ تَعَالٰى َعلَيْسه َواٰله و‬was born is better than Shab-e-Qadr
because on this night The Holy Prophet ‫صلّى اﷲُ َتعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله‬
َ
‫ وَ َسلّم‬was born and Shab-e-Qadr was given to The Holy
Prophet ‫صلّى اﷲُ َتعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬
َ . The night which is blessed
because of the arrival of the Holy Prophet ‫صلّى اﷲُ َتعَالٰى َعلَيْه‬

(maa sabata bis’sunna, P289)

EID OF EIDS

Alhamdu-Lillah ‫ !عَ ّزوَجَل‬The 12th of Rabi-un-Noor is the

Eid of Eids for Muslims. Indeed, if the Holy Prophet ‫صلّى‬َ
‫ اﷲُ َتعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬did not arrive in this world, there would
be no Eid and no Shab-e-Bara’at, so much so that
everything we have is because of the dust of the feet of
the life of the universe, the mercy to the worlds, the
beloved of Allah ‫صلّى اﷲُ تَعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬

ABU LAHAB AND THE BIRTH OF THE HOLY PROPHET

‫علَيْه وَا ٰله َوسَلّم‬
َ ‫صَلّى الُ تَعَال ٰى‬

After the death of Abu Lahab, some people of his family

saw him in a pitiful state and asked him as to what had
happened. He replied, ‘I have received no happiness after
leaving you but I receive water through my index finger
because by using this finger I freed my slave girl
suwaibah.

MUSLIMS AND THE BIRTH OF THE HOLY PROPHET ‫صَلّى‬

‫سلّم‬
َ َ‫الُ تَعَال ٰى عَلَيْه وَا ٰله و‬

Concerning this narration, Sayyiduna Sheikh Abdul Haq

Muhaddith Dehlvi ‫ رَ ْحمَ ُة اﷲ عَلَيْه‬states, in this event there is
great evidence for those who celebrate the birth of The
Holy Prophet ‫صلّى اﷲُ تَعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬
َ and spend their wealth
on this occasion. (When Abu Lahab, who was a strong
disbeliever, received the news of the blessed birth of The
Holy Prophet ‫صلّى اﷲُ َتعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬
َ , he freed his slave girl
suwaibah and because of this he was rewarded, so
imagine how much reward that Muslim will get who
spends his wealth with full happiness on this occasion.
However, it is important that the Milad gathering be pure
of music.)
(madaari-jun-nubuwwat, V2, P34)

CELEBRATE MILAD WITH FULL HAPPINESS

My Dear Islamic Brothers! Celebrate Milad with full

happiness. When a strong disbeliever like Abu Lahab can
gain benefit by becoming happy at the birth of The Holy
Prophet ‫صلّى اﷲُ َتعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬
َ , we Alhamdu-Lillah ‫عَ ّزوَجَل‬
are Muslims. Abu Lahab celebrated Milad not with the
intention of the birth of Allah ‫ عَ ّزوَجَل‬Messenger ‫صلّى اﷲُ تَعَالٰى‬ َ
‫ َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬but with the intention of having a nephew and
still he was rewarded so if we celebrate Milad with the
intention that The Messenger of Allah ‫صلّى اﷲُ َتعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله‬
َ
 ENLIGHTENED MORNING

‫ وَ َسلّم‬was born on this day, how can we remain deprived of

THE HOLY PROPHET ‫علَيْه وَا ٰله َوسَلّم‬

َ ‫صَلّى الُ تَعَال ٰى‬
IS HAPPY WITH
THOSE WHO CELEBRATE HIS BIRTH

An Islamic scholar says that I saw the Holy Prophet ُ‫صلّى اﷲ‬
َ
‫ تَعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬in my dream and asked, ‘Ya Rasool-Allah
‫َسسلّم‬
َ ‫صسلّى اﷲ ُ َتعَالٰى َعلَي ْه َواٰله و‬,
َ do you like it when Muslims
celebrate your birth every year?’ The Holy Prophet ُ‫صلّى اﷲ‬
َ
‫ تَعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬replied, ‘Whoever is happy with me, I am
happy with them.’
(tazkira-tul-wa’izeen, P600)
FLAGS IN THE HAPPINESS OF MILAD

Sayyidatuna Amina ‫ رَضِ َي اﷲُ عَ ْنهَا‬says, ‘I saw that three flags

were placed, one in the east, one in the west and one on
the roof of the Ka’ba. At that time, The Holy Prophet ‫صلّى‬ َ
‫ اﷲُ تَعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬was born.’

When the Holy Prophet ‫سلّم‬ َ ‫سلّى اﷲُس َتعَالٰى َعلَيْسه َواٰله وَس‬
َ ‫ ص‬was
performing Hijrat and came to a place close to Madina
called ‘mo’za’ai ghameem’, Bareeda Aslami along with
seventy horsemen from the tribe of bani Sehm came with
the intention to capture the Holy Prophet ‫صلّى اﷲُ َتعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله‬ َ
‫وَ َسلّم‬. However, they themselves got captured in the love
of The Holy Prophet ‫صلّى اﷲُ َتعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬
َ and accepted
Islam. They said, ‘Ya Rasool-Allah ‫صلّى اﷲُ َتعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬
َ ,
your entry into Madina should be done with flags.’ After
saying this, the horsemen took off their Imaamay, placed
them on top of their spears and lead the way into Madina.

A WAY TO SAFEGUARD YOUR IMAAN (FAITH)

Sheikh-ul-Islam Hazrat’e Allama ibn’e Hajar Makki ُ‫رَ ْحمَة‬

‫ اﷲ عَلَيْه‬writes in ‘an’naima-tul-kubra’ page 24 that Hazrat’e
Sayyiduna Junaid Baghdadi ‫ رَ ْحمَ ُة اﷲ عَلَي ْه‬said, ‘Whoever
attends a Milad gathering with full respect, his Imaan will
remain safe – In’shaa-Allah ‫عَ ّزوَجَل‬.’

FAITH ENLIGHTENING INCIDENT

There was a true lover of The Holy Prophet ‫صلّى اﷲُ َتعَالٰى َعلَيْه‬
َ
‫سلّم‬
َ‫ َواٰله وَسس‬named Ibrahim who lived in Madina-e-
Munawwara. He was a very pious person. He always
earned Halaal money and would put half of his earning
 ENLIGHTENED MORNING
8

aside to celebrate the birth of the Holy Prophet ‫صلّى اﷲُ َتعَالٰى‬
َ
‫عَلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬.
When the month of Rabi-un-Noor Shareef would arrive
he would celebrate it with joy but would stay within the
Islamic laws. He would feed the poor for the eesaal-e-
sawaab of The Holy Prophet ‫صلّى اﷲُ تَعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬ َ . He
would spend his money in good ways. His wife was also a
great lover of The Holy Prophet ‫صلّى اﷲُ َتعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬ َ .
She would help her husband with the preparations. As
time passed on his wife left this world. Nevertheless, he
continued celebrating Milad. One day, Ibrahim said to his
son, ‘Dear son! Tonight I will die and I have 50 dirhams
and 19 yards of cloth. Use the material for my shroud and
use the money for a good cause”. After saying this he read
the Kalima and his soul left his body.
The son buried his father according to his will but didn’t
know how he could spend the 50 dirhams. That night
when he went to sleep he saw a dream. He saw that it
was the Day of Judgement. Everyone was worrying about
themselves; the fortunate ones were going towards
Heaven whereas the unfortunate were being dragged to
hell. He stood shivering and shuddering wondering what
his destination would be when an announcement was
made, “let this young man go to Heaven”. He was then
taken to Heaven where he started to walk around. After
exploring the 7 Heavens, he reached the 8th Heaven and
was told, ‘Only those who celebrated the birth of the Holy
Prophet ‫صلّى اﷲُ َتعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬
َ are allowed in this Heaven.’
Upon hearing this he realised that his parents would be in
 ENLIGHTENED MORNING
9

there. A voice was then heard saying, ‘Let this young man
enter, his parents want to meet him.’ Therefore he went in
and saw his mother sat near the Fountain of Kauthar. A
throne was placed nearby and a pious woman was sitting
on it. Chairs were surrounding this throne and more
women were sitting on them. He asked an angel, “Who
are they?” The angel replied, “The one sat on the throne is
Sayyidatuna Fatima Zahra ‫ رَضِ َي اﷲُ عَ ْنهَا‬and the ones on the
chairs are Khadija-tul-Kubra, Aisha Siddiqa, Sayyidatuna
Maryam, Sayyidatuna Asia, Sayyidatuna Sara,
Sayyidatuna Hajira, Sayyidatuna Rabia and Sayyidatuna
Zubaida ‫ﺮﺿﯽالعﻨﻬﻦ‬.” He became very happy and
continued walking forward and saw an even more faith
enlightening scene. He saw a very big throne and The
Holy Prophet ‫صلّى اﷲُ تَعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬َ was seated upon this.
There were 4 chairs surrounding this throne upon which
the Khulafa-e-Rashideen ‫ عليﻬمالﺮﺿﻮاﻦ‬were seated. To the
right were golden chairs upon which the Prophets
‫ عليﻬمالﺴﻼم‬were seated and to the left were seated the
martyrs. The young man walked forward and saw his
father Ibrahim amongst a crowd near our Holy Prophet
‫صلّى اﷲُ َتعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬
َ . Ibrahim hugged his son and was
very happy. He asked his father, “Dear father, how did
you receive this status?” Ibrahim replied, “Alhamdu-
Lillah ‫ عَ ّزوَجَل‬this is due to celebrating the birth of the
Holy Prophet ‫صلّى اﷲُ تَعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬
َ ”. After this the young
man woke up.
In the morning, he sold his house and with the money
from the sale of the house and his fathers 50 dirhams, he
 ENLIGHTENED MORNING
10

prepared a meal and invited the scholars. After this, he

stayed in a Masjid and spent the rest of his 30 years
worshipping Allah ‫عَ ّزوَجَل‬. After his death, someone saw
him in their dream and asked as to what had happened to
him. He replied, “With the blessings of celebrating Milad
Shareef, I was sent to my father.”

REWARD OF CELEBRATING THE BIRTH OF THE HOLY

َ

Sheikh Abdul Haq Muhaddith Dehlvi ‫ َر ْحمَةُ اﷲ َعلَي ْه‬says,

‘The reward of celebrating the birth of The Holy Prophet
‫َسسلّم‬
َ ‫صسلّى اﷲُ تَعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله و‬
َ is that through his mercy, Allah
‫عَ ّزوَجَل‬enters these people into Janna-tun-Naeem. Muslims
have always celebrated the birth of the Holy Prophet ‫صلّى‬ َ
‫ اﷲُ تَعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬by cooking feasts, inviting guests and by
giving charity in abundance. They express their
happiness and spend open-heartedly. Through the
blessing of this, Allah ‫ عَ ّزوَجَل‬showers his blessings upon
them.’
(ma sabata bis’sunna, P290)

JEWS BLESSED WITH IMAAN THROUGH THE BLESSING

OF MILAD
 ENLIGHTENED MORNING
11

Hazrat’e Sayyiduna Abdul Wahid bin Ismail ‫َر ْحمَةُ اﷲ َعلَيْه‬

narrates that a great lover of The Holy Prophet ‫صلّى اﷲُ َتعَالٰى‬
َ
‫ َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬lived in Egypt. He used to celebrate the birth
of the Messenger of Allah ‫صلّى اﷲُ تَعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬
َ with full
happiness and joy. During these days he would give a lot
towards charity. A Jewish family lived next door. One day,
during the month of Rabi-un-Noor Shareef, the Jewish
woman asked her husband, “Why does our Muslim
neighbour hold such a big feast during this month?” Her
husband replied, “During this month, his Prophet ُ‫صلّى اﷲ‬ َ
‫ تَعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬was born, therefore he does acts like this
throughout this month to show his happiness and Muslims
show great respect to this month.” Upon hearing this, the
wife said, “The Muslims do such a nice thing by
celebrating the birth of their Prophet ‫صلّى اﷲُ َتعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬
َ
every year.” When the Jewish woman went to sleep that
night, she had a dream in which she saw a beautiful and
elegant man, a divine light was shining from his face and
a crowd of people surrounded him. She walked forward
and asked someone as to whom this noble person was.
The man replied, “He is the last Prophet of Allah ‫عَ ّزوَجَل و‬
‫صلّى اﷲُ َتعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬
َ ”. He has come so that he can bless
your neighbour for celebrating the birth and also to meet
your neighbour and show his joy.” The Jewish woman
then asked, “Will he ‫صلّى اﷲُ َتعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬َ talk to me?”
The man replied, “Yes”. The woman then called out to
 ENLIGHTENED MORNING
12

The Holy Prophet ‫صلّى اﷲُ تَعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬

َ . The Messenger
of Allah ‫صلّى اﷲُ َتعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬
َ replied, “Lab’baik” (I am
here). She was impressed by this and said, “I am not a
Muslim, but you ‫صلّى اﷲُ َتعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬
َ still replied to me.”
The Holy Prophet ‫َسسلّم‬ َ ‫صسلّى اﷲ ُ تَعَالٰى َعلَي ْه َواٰله و‬
َ said, “Allah
‫ عَ ّزوَجَل‬has told me that very soon you will convert to
Islam.” Upon hearing this she read the Kalima. She
awoke from her dream and accepted Islam from the heart.
She decided that in the morning she would gather all her
wealth and celebrate the birth of The Holy Prophet ُ‫صلّى اﷲ‬ َ
‫ تَعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬and give a lot towards charity. When she
awoke in the morning she saw that her husband was
preparing a feast. She asked him in astonishment, “What
are you doing?” He replied, “I am preparing an invitation
because you have accepted Islam.” She asked, “How do
you know?” He replied, “I saw the Holy Prophet ُ‫صلّى اﷲ‬ َ
‫ تَعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬last night in my dream too and I have also
accepted Islam.”

Madina 1: In happiness of the birth of The Holy

Prophet
‫َسسلّم‬
َ ‫سلّى اﷲُس َتعَالٰى َعلَيْسه َواٰله و‬
َ ‫ص‬, decorate your homes,
Masajid, shops and even your form of transport.
Try and light at least 12 bulbs in your home.
Organise an Ijtima-e-Zikr-o-Naat on the 12th night
and at the time of dawn, raise your flags and
whilst reciting Durood and Salaam, welcome the
Enlightened Morning with tearful eyes. If possible
try and fast on the 12th of Rabi-un-Noor Shareef
because our Holy Prophet ‫صلّى اﷲُ تَعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬
َ
would celebrate his birthday by fasting every
Monday. Hazrat’e Sayyiduna Qatada ُ‫رَضِ َي اﷲُ عَنْ ه‬
says that the Prophet ‫ صَسلّى اﷲُ َتعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَسَسلّم‬was
asked as to why he fasted every Monday. The
Holy Prophet ‫صلّى اﷲُ تَعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬
َ replied, ‘I was
born on this day and it was on this day that the
revelations began.’ (Sahih Muslim, V1)
The commentator of Sahih Bukhari, Hazrat’e
Sayyiduna Imaam Qastalaani ‫ َر ْحمَةُ اﷲ َعلَيْه‬says, ‘One
of the main benefits of celebrating the birth of The
Holy Prophet ‫ صَسلّى اﷲُ تَعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَسَسلّم‬is that, that
year will be peaceful and every wish will be
fulfilled a lot quicker. May Allah ‫‘عَ ّزوَجَل‬s mercy
be upon that person who made Eid during this
month.’ (mawahi-bulla-dunya, V1, P27)
 ENLIGHTENED MORNING

Madina 2: Models of the Ka’ba are made and dolls are

shown doing Tawaaf. This is a sin. During the
days of ignorance, 360 idols were kept in the
Ka’ba. After our Prophet ‫صلّى اﷲُ تَعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬
َ
was victorious in Makkah, he removed all the
idols of the Ka’ba therefore even models should
not contain idols (dolls). Plastic flowers can be
placed instead. (It is permissible to display that
picture in your house, Masjid etc. in which the
face of the people doing Tawaaf-e-Ka’ba cannot
be seen. However, it is impermissible to display
that picture in which you can see the people’s
faces)

Madina 3: It is not permissible to have doors which

contain peacocks etc. Read the following two
Hadith about making images of living things:
 The Angels of mercy do not enter that house in
which there are pictures or dogs.
 Whoever creates an image of a living thing will be
punished on the Day of Judgement until he puts a
soul in the image he created. He will not be able
to so the punishment will continue. (Mishkaat)

Prophet
 ENLIGHTENED MORNING

‫صلّى اﷲُ َتعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬

َ , music is played. This is a
sin. In connection to this, two narrations are
presented:
 The Holy Prophet ‫صلّى اﷲُ تَعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَسَسلّم‬ َ said, ‘I
have been ordered to destroy the drum and the
flute.’ (Delmi)
 Hazrat’e Dahaak ‫ َر ْحمَةُ اﷲ َعلَي ْه‬narrates that music
spoils the heart and upsets Allah. (Tafseeraat-e-
Ahmediya)

Madina 5: You can play Naat cassettes but be aware of

Azaan and Salaah times. Also be careful that you
do not cause any trouble to ill people (Do not play
Naats which are recited by women).

Madina 6: It is not permissible to decorate the roads or

streets etc. in any manner if it causes any kind of
worry or distress for passers by or drivers.

Madina 7: It is not permissible for women to leave

their
home without a valid Shari’ reason. It is a sin for
women to leave the home in order to see the
lighting during Rabi-un-Noor Shareef. It is also
not permissible to steal electricity. Contact the
electricity board and make lawful arrangements in
order to use the electricity.

Madina 8: In the Milad Shareef procession, try and

 ENLIGHTENED MORNING
16

remain in Wudhu as long as possible. Be aware of

the Jama’at time.

Madina 9: Try not to use horse and cart and camels

etc.
during the procession as their urine or waste can
make people’s clothes impure.

Madina 10: During the procession do not throw fruits

etc.
but rather hand them to the people. They are
disrespected if they are thrown on the floor and
people walk all over them and to waste food in
this manner is a sin.

Madina 11: Shouting uncontrollably can destroy a

procession. It is better to remain calm.

Madina 12: If a fight or argument does begin then

remain
calm because by getting emotional the Milad
procession will be ruined and the wish of the
enemy will come true.

Madina 1: When the new month appears, make the

following announcement three times,
‘Congratulations to all Islamic brothers and
sisters, the moon of Rabi-un-Noor Shareef has
been seen.’

Madina 2: For men to shave their beards or trim it less

 ENLIGHTENED MORNING

than a fistful is Haraam. For Islamic sisters to

remain uncovered is also Haraam. In respect of
the birth of The Holy Prophet ‫صلّى اﷲُ َتعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله‬
َ
‫وَ َسلّم‬, Islamic brothers should try to let their beards
grow from the 1st to the 12th of Rabi-un-Noor
Shareef and Islamic sisters should try to cover
themselves. With the blessing of this, Islamic
brothers should make the intention of keeping a
beard which is a fistful and Islamic sisters should
make the intention of wearing a Madani Burqa’
and doing Shari’ Pardah. (For a male to trim his
beard or trim it less than a fistful and for Islamic
sisters to remain uncovered are Haraam acts. To
repent straightaway and promise never to do that
sin again is Waajib.)

Madina 3: A Madani way of gaining stability in

doing
good deeds is to act upon the Madani In’aamaat
and to hand in the card every month. Raise your
hands and say In’shaa-Allah ‫عَ ّزوَجَل‬.

Madina 4: All Islamic brothers including Nigraans and

 ENLIGHTENED MORNING
19

Zimadaars should travel on a Madani Qafila 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 after Rabi-un-Noor
Shareef.

Madina 5: Display 12 flags or at least one flag in your

Masjid, 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. Display flags on your
cycle, scooter and car. In’shaa-Allah ‫عَ ّزوَجَََل‬
wherever you look, you will see greenness.
Usually, there are images or foul words written on
the back of big trucks. It is my wish that a banner
be made containing the follow three lines,

‫ﺑﺴمالالﺮﺣﻤﻦالﺮﺣيم‬
‫الﺼلﻮﺓ والﺴﻼﻡعليﻚﻳاﺭسﻮلال‬
‫ﻣﺠﻬ ﮯﺩعﻮﺕاسﻼﻣﯽس ﮯﭘياﺭﻫ ﮯ‬

Meet with the bus and truck owners and make

some Madani arrangements and get the Duas of
Sag-e-Madina in your favour.
IMPORTANT: If the flag has a picture of a Na’lain Shareef
 ENLIGHTENED MORNING
20

or has writing on it, be careful that it doesn’t get

ripped or fall on to the ground. As soon as the
month of Rabi-un-Noor Shareef departs, take of
the flags immediately. If there is a chance that the
flags might be disrespected, use plain green flags.
(Sag-e-Madina displays a plain green flag in his
home)

Madina 6: Light up your home, Masjid and

neighbourhood with 12 light strings or at least 12
bulbs. (To steal electricity for this purpose is
Haraam. Contact the electricity board and make
lawful arrangements of getting electricity.)
Decorate all your area with green flags and bright
lights. Display big banners (12 metres in length or
whatever is appropriate) on the roof of your house
and Masjid. Don’t display flags in the middle of
the road as this will obstruct traffic. Do not
decorate any place where the rights of Muslims
are broken.

children wearing green Imaamay and carrying

green flags after Salaa-tul-Asr (or whenever is
appropriate) for the first 12 days of Rabi-un-Noor
Shareef.

Madani munno! Aa’o aa’o amina ke ghar chalain

Madina 8: If possible, buy 112 copies of the pamphlet

called ‘12 Madani flowers on celebrating the birth
of The Holy Prophet ‫صلّى اﷲُ َتعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬
َ ’ or at
least 12 and 12 copies of the booklet ‘Enlightened
Morning’ and distribute them. If possible, give
them to those people who organise Milad
gatherings. During the month of Rabi-un-Noor
Shareef, try and give 1200 rupees to a Sunni Alim.
If that’s not possible then 112 rupees and if that’s
not possible then at least 12 rupees (adults only).
To distribute this money between your Masjid
Imaam, mu’azzin or caretaker is still alright but
you should make the intention of giving some
money every month. It is better to give the money
on a Friday because every good deed done on a
Friday is multiplied seventy times. Alhamdu-
Lillah ‫ !عَ ّزوَجَل‬Many people’s lives have been
rectified by listening to a Bayan cassette. There
must be some amongst you who became attached
to the Madani environment after listening to a
bayan cassette. To give these cassettes to people
is a great service to Islam and is a means of great
 ENLIGHTENED MORNING
22

reward. Those who can should try and buy 12

bayan cassettes a week or at least 12 every month.
Rich Islamic brothers should try and distribute
them for free. In happiness of the blessed birth of
the Holy Prophet ‫صلّى اﷲُ تَعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬
َ , distribute
Bayan cassettes in large numbers. During the
occasion of weddings, try and put a booklet or a
bayan cassette with the wedding card. End the
tradition of giving Eid cards and instead give
booklets and bayan cassettes and in this way help
the religion of Islam. People send me expensive
Eid cards and instead of being happy, my heart
burns. How I wish that the money was spent in
the way of Islam rather than buying Eid cards.
The glitter on these cards also causes great
problems.
ISSUE: To remove glitter from the body parts which
have to be washed during Wudhu and Ghusl is
Fardh. If you never saw the glitter and did Wudhu
and then read Salaah, your Salaah will be
complete. If you see the glitter afterwards, it is
Fardh to remove it. There is no need to repeat the
Salaah.

Madina 9: Every area Nigraan (in big cities) should

organise a ‘chauk’ Ijtima in different places for the
first 12 days of Rabi-un-Noor Shareef (Islamic
 ENLIGHTENED MORNING
23

sisters should organise Ijtima’aat in their homes).

If possible, try and take green flags to every Ijtima
you attend.

Madina 10: Perform Ghusl on the evening of the 11th

or
on the 12th of Rabi-un-Noor Shareef. If possible,
buy everything new for example, white clothes,
Imaama, bandana, hat, chaadar, Miswaak,
handkerchief, slippers, tasbeeh, Ittar, watch, pen,
Qafila pad etc. (Islamic sisters should also buy
new things according to their needs)

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

Naat and at dawn, raise your flags and whilst
reciting Durood and Salaam, welcome the
‘Enlightened Morning’ with tearful eyes. After
Salaa-tul-Fajr, give Salaam and congratulate each
other on this occasion of Eid and continue to do so
for the rest of the day.

Madina 12: Our Holy Prophet ‫صلّى اﷲُ َتعَالٰى َعلَيْه َواٰله وَ َسلّم‬
َ
would celebrate his birth by fasting every Monday.
Keeping this in mind, you should also try and fast
on the 12th of Rabi-un-Noor Shareef and whilst
carrying green flags, participate in the Madani
procession. Stay in Wudhu as long as possible.
Recite Naats, Durood and Salaam and with your
gaze lowered, walk in an organised manner. Don’t
cause any kind of disturbance which will allow
others to complain.
