Secret of Earning More Reward (Sawāb)

72. Intentions for visiting a cemetery

·         I will recite the Du’ā for entering the cemetery.[1] * I will offer Īāl-e-Šawāb to the people in the graves. * Upon seeing the graves I will ponder about my death and if possible, shed tears.

·         I will act upon Shar’ī precautions over there (e.g., I will neither step nor sit onto any grave; I will not burn any incense sticks on any grave; I will not walk on any path, which has been made over previously existing graves).

 

 

 

 

Reap rewards by distributing Maktaba-tul-Madīnaĥ’s published booklets and Madanī pearls-containing pamphlets on the occasions of wedding, funeral, Ijtimā’āt, ‘Urs, procession of Mīlād etc. Make a habit to keep some booklets in your shop to gift them to your customers with the intention of reaping rewards. Send at least one Sunnaĥ-Inspiring booklet or Madanī pearls-containing pamphlet to each home in your neighbourhood with the help of children or paperboys, stepping up efforts for conveying the call towards righteousness and gaining great reward

 

 

 

 

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب        صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
