Here is a Madanī parable full of the blessings of Dawat-e-Islami’s Madanī environment. This explains how an Islamic sister from Bāb-ul-Islam (Sindh) joined Dawat-e-Islami’s fragrant Madanī environment: I was busy living my life committing many sins such as missing my Ṣalāĥ, unveiling, watching films etc. Hence I was selling the priceless diamonds of my time in exchange for the damnation of my afterlife and was busy doing sins that lead to Hell.

Unfortunately! Despite sinking in the sin-pit up to my neck, I was oblivious of the fact that all my actions were displeasing Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and Mustafa صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. The reason for my transformation was those valuable moments that I spent in Dawat-e-Islami’s weekly Ijtimā’ for Islamic sisters. The reason for my attendance in that Ijtimā’ was an individual effort made by a female Dawat-e-Islami preacher. In that blessed Ijtimā’ a Madanī wound was inflicted onto my heart! My heart developed a disliking for this disloyal world, a heart that once was absorbed in worldly glitter, all of a sudden lost interest in it. I realised that:

Aik jĥaunkay mayn idĥar say udĥar                               Chār din kī baĥār ĥay dunyā

Zindagī nām ĥay is kā magar                           Maut kā intiẓār ĥay dunyā

In one gust it flies here to there

This world is a four-day spring

They call it life but

This world is really a wait for death

اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! I repented of sins and started doing deeds leading to Heaven. I started doing Dawat-e-Islami’s Madanī work. At this moment, I am blessed with serving the Sunnaĥ as a responsible sister for the Madanī activities of Dawat-e-Islami at Ḥalqaĥ Mushāwarat level.
