The Fish of Madinah

Madani parable of selflessness

A Madani parable that an Islamic sister has experienced is being mentioned briefly. At the end of the weekly Sunnah-inspiring Ijtima’ of Islamic sisters held on 22 Safar-ul-Muzaffar 1428 AH (March 12, 2007) by Dawat-e-Islami, a global and non-political movement of Quran and Sunnah, in Mumbai, a sister (who was new in this Madani environment) informed the responsible Islamic sister that her slippers were lost. The responsible Islamic sister offered her own slippers to the sister by putting individual effort.

Another sister who had joined the Madani environment just seven months ago, came forward and said, ‘Can’t I sacrifice even a little for Dawat-e-Islami?’ She forced the new Islamic sister to wear her slippers and herself, went home barefooted. When she slept at night, she saw the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in her dream and an aged preacher of Dawat-e-Islami was present at the Holy Prophet’s feet, wearing a green turban. The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم moved his blessed lips and spoke the pearls of wisdom. His words were arranged like this, ‘I liked the words greatly that you had delivered, ‘Can’t I sacrifice even a little for Dawat-e-Islami!’ at the time of giving your slippers selflessly. (Apart from this parable, he appreciated for other things as well.)

Dear Islamic brothers! Did you realize! What a great Madani parable it is, as a result of selflessness due to Madani environment
