The Greatness of a Devotee of the Holy Qurn
Sayyidun Shaykh bit Bunn

, _|

,,.

used to complete the
recitation of the Holy Qurn once every day. He

_.

,
would

always observe fast during the day and offer supererogatory al
throughout the night. He would always offer 2 Rakats of Nafl al in
every Masjid he passed by (this al is known as Taiyya-tul-Masjid).
Revealing the blessings bestowed upon him, he says, I have completed
the recitation of the entire Holy Qurn and I have wept in the court of
my Lord

.
next to each and every pillar of the Jmia Masjid.
He

_.

,
had exceptional love for al and for the recitation of
the Holy Qurn, and the extent of the blessings upon him is coveted.
Consequently, after his passing away, during the burial, suddenly a
brick slipped and fell into the grave. When some people leaned in to
pick up the brick they were amazed to see that the Shaykh

_.


was standing in his grave and offering his al! When his family
members were asked about this, his respected daughter said, My
honourable father

_.

,
would make the following supplication
every day, O Allah

.
! If you grant anybody the blessing of offering
al in his grave after death, then privilege me too [with such a
blessing].

It is reported that whenever people would pass close by the


blessed tomb of the Shaykh

_.

, they would hear the utterance


of the recitation of the Holy Qurn coming from inside the blessed
grave. (ilyat-ul-Awliy, pp. 362 to 366, vol. 2)
May Allah

have mercy on him and May He

.
forgive us for
his sake!

Memorized 15 Juz of the Qurn in the Womb of Mother
A useful question, with its faith enlightening reply, is hereby presented
from Malft-e-Al arat:
Question: Your eminence! Is there any age specified in the Shara
for Taqrb-e-Bismill

?
Response: There is nothing fixed in the Shara [in this regard],
however the age of 4 years, 4 months, and 4 days has been considered
[for this] by the respected scholars. When Sayyidun Shaykh Khwja

and 4 days old, his Taqrb-e-Bismill was arranged and people were

present and was about to ask the child to recite the Bismill, but then
he was invoked with divine inspiration [Ilm] that, Wait, mid-
ud-dn Ngor is coming and he will teach [the child to recite
Bismill].

Unfortunately, due to a lack of Islamic knowledge, many Muslims today
are unaware of the rulings of Shara regarding the recitation of the
Qurn, teaching the Qurn, listening to the Qurn, touching the
Qurn, etc. In order to propagate the knowledge of Islam, and with the
intention of saving Muslims from sins, a garland of colourful Madan
Pearls is hereby presented.
21 Madan Pearls Regarding the Recitation of the
Holy Qurn
1. Amr ul Mminn, Sayyidun Umar-al-Frq

_.

,
used to
kiss the Holy Qurn every day, and would say, This is the covenant
of my Lord

.
, and His Book. (akaf, Dur-ru-Mukhtr, pp. 634, vol. 9)
Excellence of Reciting the Holy Qurn

2. It is Mustaab to recite Taawwu


when beginning
Tilwa, and it is Sunna to recite Tasmiyya


at the start
of a Sra, otherwise it is Mustaab. (Bar-e-Sharat, pp. 550, vol. 1,
part 3)
3. If Tilwa is started from Sra Tauba, then recite both Taawwu
and Tasmiyya; however; if Tilwa is started from before this
point, and Sra Tauba comes along during the recitation, there
is no need to recite Tasmiyya. The recitation of special Taawwu
at the start of this Sra, which has been introduced by some of
uff of these times is baseless. Moreover, the common view
that Tasmiyya should not be recited even when starting from
Sra Tauba is simply incorrect. (ibid, pp. 551)
4. It is Mustaab to perform Tilwa in the state of Wuu, facing the
Qibla, and whilst wearing good attire. (ibid, pp. 550)
5. Reciting the Holy Qurn by looking at it is preferable than reciting
it from memory, because this not only involves reciting the Qurn,
but it also includes looking at the Holy Qurn as well as touching
it, and all these are acts of worship. (Ghunya-tul-Mutamall, pp. 495)
6. The Holy Qurn should be recited in an exceedingly elegant voice,
and if somebody does not possess a pleasant voice, he should try
to beautify his voice when reciting. However, it is impermissible
to recite in such a tone that causes the improper utterance of the
letters, like the way that singers do. Take utmost care in upholding
the rules and regulations of recitation [Tajwd]. (Dur-ru-Mukhtr, pp.
694, vol, 9)
7. It is preferred to recite the Holy Qurn in an audible voice, as
long as it doesnt cause trouble for anybody who is praying,
anybody who is ill or anybody who is asleep. (Ghunya-tul-Mutamall,
pp. 497)

8. When the verses of the Holy Qurn are recited aloud, some
people, although remaining silent, continue to look around and
continue to perform various movements and gestures. Such people
should note that listening attentively is also essential in addition
to remaining silent. In this respect, Al arat, the Leader of the
Al-us-Sunna, Shaykh Imam Ahmad Raz Khn

_.

,
has
stated on page 352 of Volume 23 of Fatw Razawyya, It is
Far [Compulsory] to listen attentively and to remain silent when
the Holy Qurn is recited. Allah

And when the Qurn is recited, listen to it attentively and keep
silent, so that you are bestowed with mercy
(Kanz-ul-mn [translation of Qurn]) (Part 9, Sra al-Arf, verse 204)
9. When the Holy Qurn is recited aloud, it is Far on all attendees
to listen to it provided they have congregated for the purpose of
listening. Otherwise, it is sufficient if one of them listens, while
others may carry out their activities. (Fatw Razawiyya (Jadd), pp. 353,
vol. 23)
10. It is arm for everybody in a gathering to recite aloud. In gatherings
of l-e-awb, usually everybody recites aloud this is arm
[Strictly forbidden]. If a number of people recite, the ruling for
them is to recite quietly. (Bar-e-Sharat, pp. 552, vol. 1 part 2)
11. If, when reciting in the Masjid, other people are present who are
offering al or reciting invocations, you should recite in such a
volume that only you can hear; the sound should not reach the
person next to you.
12. It is impermissible to recite the Holy Qurn aloud in the marketplace,
or anywhere where people are working. If the people do not listen
Excellence of Reciting the Holy Qurn

9
to recitation, then the sin will be upon the reciter. If the reciter
began reciting before the people became occupied in their work
at a place that is not specified for work, then if people do not
listen to recitation, the sin will be upon those people. However, if
he began to recite after they had already started working; the sin
will be on the reciter. (Ghunya-tul-Mutamall, pg. 497)
13. It is also discouraged to recite aloud where somebody is learning
Islamic knowledge, or where a student of Islamic sciences is revising
or researching. (ibid)
14. There is no harm in reciting the Holy Qurn whilst lying down,
as long as the legs are folded up [i.e. not stretched out] and the face
is uncovered. Additionally, it is also permissible to perform Tilwa
whilst walking or working, provided attention of the heart is not
distracted; otherwise it would be Makru [disliked]. (ibid, pp. 496)
15. It is impermissible to recite the Holy Qurn in the bathroom or
in places of impurity. (ibid)
16. Listening to recitation of the Holy Qurn is better than reciting
the Holy Qurn or offering Nafl al [Supererogatory prayer].
(ibid, pp. 497)
17. If somebody recites incorrectly, it is Wjib for listener to correct
him, provided that it does not create animosity or envy. (ibid, pp.
498)
18. In the same way, if somebody takes somebody elses Qurn
temporarily, and he notices some printing or transcription error
in it, it is Wjib for him to inform the owner. (Bar-e-Sharat, pp.
553, vol. 1, part 3)
19. In the summer, it is better to complete the recitation of the Holy
Qurn in the morning, whereas in the winter, it is better to
complete it in the initial part of the night, because it is mentioned
Excellence of Reciting the Holy Qurn

10
in a ad, Whoever completes the recitation of the Holy Qurn
at the start of the day, angels will ask forgiveness for him until the
evening, and whoever completes it at the beginning of the night,
angels will ask forgiveness for him until the morning.
As the daytime is longer in the summer, completing the recitation
of the Holy Qurn in the morning will result in more supplications
for forgiveness by the angels. On the other hand, the nights are
longer in winter; therefore completing it in initial part of the
night will amount to more [supplications for] forgiveness. (Ghunya-
tul-Mutamall, pp. 496)
20. When the recitation of the full Qurn is completed, it is better to
recite Sra Ikhls 3 times. This also applies when offering Tarw
al; however, if completion is being done in Far al, do not
recite Sra Ikhls more than once. (ibid, pp. 496)
21. On completion of the recitation of the full Holy Qurn, after
reciting Sra Ns, recite Sra Ftia and Sra Baqara up to

for
a period of over 20 years but I never saw him, other than on Fridays,
performing even two Rakats of Nafl al. The Shaykh

would take a pot of water into his special room and then close the
door from the inside. I was never able to find out what he

,

did in his room, until one day, when his son began to cry loudly. As
the childs mother began to try to calm the child down, I asked, Why
is the child crying so much? Then the respected lady said, This
childs father (Sayyidun Shaykh Abul asan s

) recites
the Holy Qurn in this room and cries [with fear of Allah

this child also begins to cry upon hearing his father crying!
Shaykh Ab Abdulla

states, Shaykh Sayyidun Abul

ostentation, would take so much care to conceal his good deeds that
after performing worship in his special room and before coming out,
he would wash his face and put Kohl in his eyes, so that nobody
would be able to guess that he had been crying by looking at his face
or eyes! (ilyat-ul-Awliy, pp. 254, vol. 9)

It is Far on Every Muslim to Read the Qurn with Correct

! From the platform of the global non-political movement
for propagation of Qurn and Sunna, Dawat-e-Islami, countless Islamic
seminaries have been established in various countries across the world,
under the name of Madrasa-tul-Madna.
At the time of writing this book, in Pakistan, there are 50,000 boys
and girls being taught recitation and memorization of the Holy Qurn
for free in these seminaries. Additionally, classes for adults who wish to
learn the correct pronunciations of the Holy Qurn, under the name
of Madrasa-tul-Madna (for adults) have also been established in
innumerable Masjid and at other locations. In these classes, people
who remain busy at work and other activities throughout the day are
taught the correct way to recite the Glorious Qurn and various Dus
[supplications] and Sunnas, usually after alt-ul-Isha for approximately
40 minutes.

14 Madan Pearls Regarding Sajda at-Tilwa
1. Sajda-at-Tilwa becomes Wjib when one recites or hears an
ya [verse] of Sajda [prostration]. (Hiddyah, pp. 78, vol. 1)
2. Recitation of the translation of an ya of Sajda in Persian or
any other language also makes the Sajda Wjib on the reciter
and the listener, whether the listener understands that this was an
ya of Sajda or not. However it is necessary to inform him
that it was translation of ya of Sajda if he is unaware of it.
And if it was recitation of ya of Sajda, then it is not necessary
to inform the listener that it was ya of Sajda. (Fatwah Alamghr,
pp. 133, vol. 1)
3. It is a condition for recitation that the volume of recitation should
be at least such that it can be heard by the reciter himself if there
Excellence of Reciting the Holy Qurn

14
is nothing preventing him from hearing. (Bar-e-Sharat, pp. 728, vol.
1, part 4)
4. It is not necessary for the listener to have intentionally heard the
ya; the Sajda becomes Wjib even on hearing the ya
unintentionally. (Hiddyah, pp. 78, vol. 1)
5. If the ya was recited with such a volume that it can be heard,
but because of noise or deafness he was unable to hear, the Sajda
becomes Wjib on him. However, if his lips merely moved but
sound not was produced, the Sajda will not be Wjib. (Fatwah
Alamghr, pp. 132, vol. 1)
6. It is not necessary to recite the entire ya for the Sajda to
become Wjib. Merely reciting the word which contains the
matter of the Sajda, along with a word present before or after it,
is sufficient [for it to become Wjib]. (Rad-dul-Mutr, pp. 694, vol.2)
7. Method of Sajda at-Tilwa: The Sunna method of the Sajda
is as follows: Stand up, and then whilst saying

go into Sajda
and recite

a minimum of 3 times. Then whilst saying


, stand up. Reciting


before and after the Sajda is


Sunna. Standing before going into Sajda and standing after
performing the Sajda both are Mustaab. (Dur-ru-Mukhtr, pp. 699,

8. It is not required to raise the hands when saying

for the
Sajda at-Tilwa, nor is it required to recite the Tashaud
(Attaiyyt) or pay the Salm. (Tanvr-ul-Abr, pp. 700 vol. 2)
9. When making an intention for the Sajda at-Tilwa, it is not
necessary to relate it to the specific ya; a general intention of
performing Sajda at-Tilwa is sufficient. (Dur-ru-Mukhtr, Rad-dul-
Mutr, pp. 699, vol. 2)

10. If an ya of Sajda is recited outside of al, it is not Wjib to
perform the Sajda immediately. It is, however, preferred to perform
it immediately. If one is in the state of Wuu, then delaying it is
al-Makr-u-Tanz. (Dur-ru-Mukhtr, pp. 703, vol. 2)
11. If it is not possible to perform the Sajda at that time for any reason,
it is Mustaab for the reciter and the listener to recite:

We heard and we obeyed; May forgiveness from You be granted,
O our Lord, and towards You we have to return.
(Kanz-ul-mn [translation of Qurn]) (Part 3, al-Baqara: 285)
(Rad-dul-Mutr, pp. 803, vol.2)
12. If, in the same Majlis
1
(an assembly), one ya of Sajda is
repeatedly recited or listened to, only one Sajda will be Wjib,
even if it is heard from different people. Similarly, if one recited
an ya [of Sajda], and then he heard same ya from someone
else, only one Sajda will be Wjib upon him. (Dur-ru-Mukhtr, Rad-
dul-Mutr, pp. 712, vol. 2)
13. It is al-Makru-u-Tarm to leave the ya of Sajda out when
reciting the whole Sra. There is no harm in reciting the ya
of Sajda alone; however, it is better to recite a few preceding or
succeeding yas with it. (Dur-ru-Mukhtr, p. 717. vol. 2)
For the Fulfilment of Needs
14. According to the anaf Doctrine there are 14 yas of Sajda in
the Holy Qurn, and if all 14 of these are recited in a Majlis for any
particular purpose, and then the Sajdas are performed, Allah

will fulfil that purpose; whether the person does a Sajda after every
ya or does all 14 Sajdas collectively after reciting all 14 yas.

9 Madan Pearls as Regards to Touching the Holy Qurn
1. When not in the state of Wuu [ritual ablution], it is Far to
perform Wuu in order to touch the Noble Qurn. (Nr-ul-, p. 18)
2. When not in the state of Wuu, it is permissible to recite the Holy
Qurn by looking without touching it.
3. It is not permissible to perform Tayammum in order to touch the
Holy Qurn, to perform Sajda at-Tilwa, or to perform Sajda
ash-Shukr [prostration of gratefulness], when water is in reach.
(Bar-e-Sharat, pp. 352, vol. 1, part 2)
4. It is arm for a person upon whom Ghusl [ritual bath] is Far,
to touch the Holy Qurn. This includes the blank margins, the
cover, and the cloth of the Holy Qurn. Similarly, it is also arm
to recite the Holy Qurn by looking at or from memory, to write
an ya, to write a Tawz [amulet] of an ya, to touch such an
amulet, or to touch or wear such a ring which has Qurnic verses
inscribed e.g. ring having inscribed Muqaat
1
. (Bar-e-Sharat,
pp. 326, vol. 1, part 2)
5. If the Holy Qurn is in a case, it is permissible to touch the case.
It is also permissible to touch it using a handkerchief or any other
type of cloth which is neither integral to you nor to the Holy Qurn.
It is arm to touch the Holy Qurn with the sleeve of your shirt
or the edge of your scarf; even if a corner of a shawl is hanging off
one shoulder, you cannot use the other corner of that shawl to
touch the Holy Qurn, as all of these are considered as being
integral to you in the same way as the cover of the Holy Qurn is
considered as being attached to it. (Dur-ru-Mukhtr, Rad-dul-Mutr, pp.
348, vol. 1)

etc. are called Muqaat letters.

6. The rulings of reciting and touching the Holy Qurn also apply
to translations of the Holy Qurn in English, Persian, or any other
language. (Bar-e-Sharat, pp. 327, vol. 2)
7. It is not permissible for the one who has not performed Wuu or
for whom Ghusl is due to touch an ya written in a book or in a
newspaper; similarly, it is also not permissible to touch the back
side of the paper directly behind the section where ya is written.
8. A person who has not performed Wuu or on whom Ghusl is
due is not allowed to touch any part of a piece of paper upon which
only an ya, and nothing else, is written; this includes touching
the front, back, the edges etc.

A Madan Request to Publishers
9. It is a heartfelt Madan request to the publishers of religious
books and monthly journals to refrain from printing any yas
or translations of yas on any side of the front cover or back
cover of books, pamphlets, booklets etc. because in picking up and
touching the book, countless Muslims are caught up in absent-
mindedly touching the yas without Wuu.
In this respect, Allma Mauln Al-j Al-fi Al-Qr Ash-
Sha Imm Amad Raz Khn

has stated on page 393


of volume 23 of Fatw-e-Razawyya, Printing yas onto a
paper which is wrapped around a bundle or packet of newspapers
or booklets, or on cards or envelopes, causes disrespect to occur
and leads towards arm, because it could be touched by postmen
or others who may not be in the state of Wuu or may require
Ghusl, or by Kuffr [disbelievers] who are always in a state of
Excellence of Reciting the Holy Qurn

(Translation from Kanz-ul-mn: None is


allowed to touch it, except when in state of ritual ablution).
These might be placed on the floor in order to affix seals; these
might be ripped and thrown into the waste, and this misconduct
with ya resulted from the act of the publisher or writer.

My intellect responded: faith is all respect

. ! If you see an ya of the Holy Qurn printed on the


cover of any book, it is requested that, after making good intentions,
you show the aforementioned passage to the publisher, or send them a
photocopy of it by mail [or email]. Along with it you should write,
After seeing an ya of the Holy Qurn on the cover of your so-and-
so book, I am writing to request that you kindly refrain from printing
yas or their translations on the covers of books, so that Muslims
can be protected from unmindfully touching them without Wuu.



If the publisher is a devotee of the scholars of Islam

, he
will bless you with his supplications, and will express his intention to
be mindful in such matter in the future.
O Lord! Protect me always from those who disrespect
And may I too never commit any form of disrespect
4 Madan Pearls Regarding the Translation of the
Holy Qurn
1. The translation of the Holy Qurn should not be read without
the Tafsr [Commentary]. What follows is a summary of part of a
Excellence of Reciting the Holy Qurn

21
Fatwa [legal ruling] written by Al arat Imm Amad Raz
Khn

, It is impossible to gain an understanding from


simply reading the translation of the Holy Qurn without extensive
knowledge. In reality, there is more harm than goodness in this.
If you are to read the translation, you should do so under guidance
of some expert, pious perfect Sunni scholar. (Fatw Razawiyya (Jadd),
pp. 382, vol. 23)
2. In order to understand the Holy Qurn, obtain a copy of the
translation written by Al arat, the Reviver of the Sunna, the
Guide of Tarqa, the Scholar of Shara, Allma Mauln Al-
j Al-fi Al-Qr Ash-Sha Imm Amad Raz Khn

|
,
which is entitled Kanz-ul-Imn [Treasure of Faith], comprising
of the commentary by the name of Khazin-ul-Irfn written by
Allma Mauln Sayyid Namuddn Murdbd

| .

,. _
;
or the commentary written by Allma Muft Ahmad Yr Khn
Nam

. .

. .

...|

_ ,.

..|
, entitled Nr-ul-Irfn.
3. Act upon the Madan Inm
1
of reciting 3 verses of the Holy Qurn
(with translation and commentary) every day;
|

.`

| . ..

.
you
will see the blessings of this for yourself.
4. In accordance with the organisational structure of Dawat-e-
Islami, each Masjid has been regarded as a al alqa (Sub-
Unit). In every al alqa it is an aim to establish a Madan
alqa (a study circle) every day after alt-ul-Fajr to recite/listen

1
In the Madan environment of Dawat-e-Islami, there are 72 Madan Inmt [Madan
action points] for Islamic brothers and 63 for Islamic sisters, which have been formulated in
the form of questions in a booklet to help Muslims to lead a pious Islamic lifestyle. Those
who are fortunate enough, perform Fikr-e-Madna [self-reflection] on a daily basis whilst
filling in the boxes given for answers, and then they hand the booklet in to their local
Zimmadr [representative] of Dawat-e-Islami within the first 10 days of every new Islamic
month. To learn about the complete method for this, obtain the booklet entitled Madan
Inmt from Maktaba-tul-Madna [the publishing house of Dawat-e-Islami]. The majority
of the publications of Maktaba-tul-Madna are available on Dawat-e-Islamis website:
www.dawateislami.net for free download.

3 verses of the Holy Qurn with the translation of Kanz-ul-mn
and the commentary of Khazin-ul-Irfn/Nr-ul-Irfn. If possible
all Islamic brothers should try to gain the blessings by participating
in Madan alqa.
2 Madan Pearls Regarding the Burial/
Submergence of Qurnic Pages
1. If a transcript of the Holy Qurn becomes so old that it is no
longer possible to recite from it and there is a likelihood of the
pages slowly decomposing or being ruined, it should be wrapped
in a pure cloth and buried in a secured place. For this, a Laad (a
sort of grave) should be made (after digging a ditch, make an
opening in the wall which faces the Qibla, large enough to contain
all the sacred pages) so that dirt does not fall on it. Alternatively,
having placed it into the ditch, place a board over it as a shelter,
so that the dirt does not fall on it. If a transcript of the Holy
Qurn becomes old, it should not be burned.) (Bar-e-Sharat, pp.
138, part 16)
2. The sacred pages of the Holy Qurn should not be placed into the
shallow part of the sea, or into a shallow river or stream, because
this generally causes them to float on to the shore and leads to
severe disrespect. The method of putting them into to sea is firstly
to place them in an empty bag or sack, along with a heavy stone
and then make some incisions into the bag or sack so that water
can enter into it immediately and it can sink to the bottom of the
sea. If water does not enter into it, it sometimes floats for miles
and reaches the shore. In the greed of obtaining the bag or sack,
at times uncivilised people, or even Kuffr [disbelievers] heap the
respected pages at the shore and then such severe acts of disrespect
take place that the heart of a devotee would begin tremble upon
hearing about such events. In order to ensure that the bag or sack
Excellence of Reciting the Holy Qurn

23
reaches the deep part of the sea, help can be obtained from a
Muslim boatman, however it should be remembered that the
incisions should be made in any case.
May I respect the Qurn all the time
O Lord! With Your fear may I always tremble

8 Miscellaneous Madan Pearls
1. It is a protocol to keep the Holy Qurn in a case or in a cover.
Muslims have been acting upon this since the time of the aba
and Tabin

~|
. (Bar-e-Sharat, pp. 139, part 12)
2. One of the etiquettes of the Holy Qurn is to refrain from turning
the back towards it, spreading out the legs towards it, putting the
feet higher than it, and being on a higher surface as compared to
it. (ibid)
3. The 3 sciences of Lught [Language], Naw [Grammar], and arf
[Morphology] are all equal in status. It is permissible to put any
book of these sciences on top of the other one. On top of those,
books of Ilm-ul-Kalm
1
can be placed; on top of those, books of
Fiqh [jurisprudence] can be placed; and on top of those, books of
ad and supplications mentioned in the Holy Qurn and ad
can be placed. Then on top of those, books of Tafsr [commentary]
can be placed; and finally, on top of all of these, the Holy Qurn
can be placed. Do not put any cloth on top of a suitcase in which
the Holy Qurn has been placed. (Fatwah Alamghr, pp. 323- 324, vol. 5)

1
Ilm-ul-Kalm is that branch of Islamic Sciences which deals with philosophical study of
Attributes of Allah

.
.

4. If someone keeps a Holy Qurn in his house with intention of
blessings and goodness, but he does not recite it, he will not be
sinful. In fact, even this intention of his will be a means of reward
for him. (Fatw Q Khn, pp. 378, vol. 2)
5. If the Holy Qurn accidently falls from someones hands or rack
onto the floor, there is no sin for him nor is any Kaffra [expiation]
required.
6. If somebody

. . ...|

,..

.
throws the Holy Qurn onto the floor with
the intention of disrespect, or puts his feet on the Holy Qurn with
the intention of disrespect; he will become a Kfir [disbeliever].
7. A statement made in words of vow (Qasam) or oath whilst holding
the Holy Qurn in hands or putting hand onto the Holy Qurn is
recognized as a firm vow (Qasam). However, if someone says
something without uttering specific words of vow/oath while
holding the Holy Qurn in his hands or putting his hand onto
the Holy Qurn, vow (Qasam) will not establish in this case nor
will any Kaffra [expiation] be required. (Fatw Razawiyya (Jadd),
pp. 584-585, vol. 13)
8. Even if there are many Qurns stocked in a Masjid, and not all of
them are being used; some are wearing out; it is impermissible to
sell them and to spend price in the affairs of the Masjid. However,
such Qurns may be distributed to be placed into other Masjids
and Islamic schools. (Fatw Razawiyya (Jadd), pp. 164, vol. 16)
O my Lord! May recitation become part of my daily routine!
In reciting the Qurn wholeheartedly, may I become keen!

5 Madan Pearls Regarding l-e-awb
[Donating Reward of Good Deeds]
1. The Beloved and Blessed Prophet
,

_.

.
has stated, The
condition of a deceased person in his grave is like that of a drowning
person; he waits anxiously for supplications from his father, his
mother, his brother or his friend. When anyones supplication
reaches him, he considers it better than the world and everything
that it contains. Allah

.
bestows the awb gifted by living
relatives to the deceased like mountains. The gift of the alive to
the dead is to supplicate for their forgiveness. (Shuab-ul-mn, pp.
203, vol. 6, ad 7905)
2. It is mentioned in abarn, When somebody sends the awb
[reward] of good deeds to a deceased person, Jibrl
.

,.

..|

..

.
places
the awb in a refulgent tray and stands carrying it near the grave
and says, O inhabitant of the grave! Your relatives have sent a
gift; accept it. On hearing this, he becomes happy, whereas his
neighbours (the deceased present in his neighbouring graves) are
grieved on their deprivation. (Mujam Awsa, pp. 37, vol. 5, ad 6504)
Alas! The frightening grave is darker than the night
O Lord! With Your mercy, illuminate it with light
3. In addition to the l-e-awb of the recitation of the Holy Qurn,
one may also make the l-e-awb of any good deed like Far,
Wjib, Sunna, Nafl, al, Fasting, Zak, Hajj, delivering a
speech or Dars, travelling with a Madan Qfila, acting upon the
Madan Inmt, partaking in the call towards righteousness,
studying a religious book or making individual effort for Madan
acts etc.

The Method of l-e-awb
4. l-e-awb is not a difficult task; even it is sufficient to say or
make the intention in the heart that, O Allah

.
! Grant the
reward of the Holy Qurn I have recited (or the reward of my so
and so good deeds) to my deceased mother
|

.`

| . ..

.
the awb
will be delivered.
The Method of Ftia
5. The method of Ftia that is common amongst Muslims
nowadays, especially upon food, is very good. As this is done, the
l-e-awb of recitation etc. can also be made along with. Put
out all the foods which have been made for l-e-awb in front
(or put out a small amount of each food), along with a glass of
water.
Then, reciting

relatives and Murshid (spiritual guide). (The deceased whose names
are mentioned during the supplication are pleased by it.) Then, finish
the supplication as usual. (If a small amount of each type of food was
placed in front with the glass of water, then mix them back into the
rest of the food and water).

17 Madan Pearls Regarding the Imma [Sunna Turban]
Firstly, 6 Sayings of Mustafa

1. 2 Rakats of al performed whilst wearing an Imma are better
than offering 70 Rakats without wearing Imma. (Firdaus bima
aur-ul-Khitb, pp. 265, vol. 2, ad 3233)
2. Wearing an Imma over a headgear is the difference between us
and the Mushrikn [idol-worshippers]. For every fold of the
Imma that a Muslim wraps around his head, he will be given
one Nr [light] on the Day of Judgement. (Al-Jmi-u-aghr, pp. 353,
ad 5725)
3. Without doubt, Allah

.
and His angels send alt on Friday
on those who wear an Imma. (Firdaus bima aur-ul-Khitb, pp. 147,
vol. 1, ad 529)
4. Offering al whilst wearing an Imma is equivalent to 10,000
virtues. (ibid, pp. 406, vol. 2, ad 3805; Fatw Razaviyya (Jadd), pp. 225,
vol. 6)
5. One al-tul-Jumua performed whilst wearing an Imma is
equivalent to 70 without it. (Tarkh Madna Dimishq la ibn Askir, pp.
355, vol. 37)
6. Immas are the crowns of the Arabs, so wear the Imma and
your honour will augment. Whoever wears an Imma; he gains
one virtue for every fold [of the Imma that he wraps around
his head]. (Jamul-Jwmi, pp. 202, vol. 5, ad 14536)
7. It is mentioned in the 312-page book Bar-e-Sharat, published
by Dawat-e-Islamis publishing house, Maktaba-tul-Madna, on
page 303 of part XVI, Tie the Imma whilst standing, and put
on the Pjma [Shalwr, lower garment] whilst sitting. Whoever
Excellence of Reciting the Holy Qurn

31
does the opposite of this (i.e. he ties the Imma whilst sitting,
and puts on the lower garment whilst standing); he will be afflicted
with a disease, for which there is no cure.
8. It is more appropriate to wrap the first fold of the Imma towards
the right side of the head. (Fatw Razawiyya (Jadd), pp. 199, vol. 22)
9. The Shimla (Unwrapped end of the turban) of the blessed Imma
of the Beloved and Blessed Prophet
,

_.

.
would
generally hang behind his blessed back, sometimes it would be on
the right hand side, and sometimes there would be two Shimlas
between his two blessed shoulders. To keep the Shimla on the
left hand side is against the Sunna. (Ashat-ul-Lamat, pp. 582, vol. 3)
10. The length of the Shimla of the Imma should be at least the
width of four fingers, and at most up to the middle of the back, i.e.
approximately the length of one arm. (Fatw Razawiyya (Jadd), pp.
182, vol.22)
11. Bind the Imma whilst standing facing the Qibla. (Kashf-ul-Iltibs
f Istibb-il-Libs lil Shaykh Abd-ul-aq Dilv, pp. 38)
12. (13.) The Sunna of the Imma is that it should not be shorter
than 2 yards in length, nor should it be longer than 6 yards, and
it should be bound in a dome-like fashion. (Fatw Razawiyya
(Jadd), pp. 186, vol. 22)
14. (15.) If you have a large kerchief with which you can produce
enough folds to cover the whole head, then it will be considered
as an Imma. It is Makru to bind a small kerchief with which
one can only produce one or two folds. (Fatw Razawiyya (Jadd), pp.
299, vol. 7)
16. When taking the Imma off, unbind it fold by fold (rather than
taking it off as it is still bound). (Fatwah Alamghr, pp. 330, vol. 5)

would adorn his enlightened head with
blessed green Imma, and [for this reason] Dawat-e-Islami has made
the green Imma its symbol. What an attraction the green Imma
reflects! The glowing, illuminated dome on the blessed, radiant tomb

Prophet
,

_.

.
is also green!
The devotees of the Prophet should also wear a green-coloured Imma
in order to keep their heads green and resplendent. Also the green colour
should not be too dark; rather it should be so beautiful and bright that
even in the darkness of the night, its shimmering and illuminating
colour is easily seen by virtue of the blessings of the green splendours
of the green dome.
Madna has no need for the moon, the sun, or their light
It is illuminated by the emerald dome, day and night!
