his follower say prayer. Similarly, in spite of being the greatest of all Prophets, our Beloved Prophet Muhammad Mustafa صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said to Sayyidunā ‘Umar Fārūq-e-A’ẓam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ whilst allowing him to do ‘Umraĥ, ‘O my brother! Remember us in your prayer.’ (Sunan Ibn Mājaĥ, vol. 3, pp. 411, Ḥadīš 2894)
Sayyidunā ‘Umar Fārūq-e-A’ẓam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ used to say to Madanī children in the streets of Madīnaĥ, ‘Children!

If they are ever not asked to do the concluding prayer in any Ijtimā’, then they should not be upset and nor should they consider themselves to be most worthy of saying the concluding prayer. No matter whoever says the prayer, we should all join in wholeheartedly with our Āmīns, earning the blessings of the prayer. It is not necessary for only impressive and loud prayers to be accepted by Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. In fact, He عَزَّوَجَلَّ looks at broken hearts.
Islamic sisters! By the grace of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, prayers made from the bottom of the heart are answered, entreaties are granted, and wishes are fulfilled. This is a summary of an Islamic sister’s statement from Punjab (Pakistan): Before joining Dawat-e-Islami’s fragrant Madanī environment, I was very badly stuck in the sandpit of sins. Although my heart despised sins I saw no way to abstain from them. I had absolutely no religious knowledge. I would often pray, ‘O my Lord عَزَّوَجَلَّ! I want to
