Zikr-E-Nabi

Love for our beloved Nabi (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) makes us speak of Nabi (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam). This makes us narrate and listen to his extremely noble manners, exemplary characters and teachings that are filled with blessings and wisdom with fervour and pleasure. If we have this love all the time, then we will regularly speak about him and will do what he has taught us to do. The example of this is that of a sincere and loyal son who serves his parents all the time. However, choosing a particular and a specific season to do this, is like an ungrateful son who celebrates Mother’s Day only once a year. He does not care for his mother before that and after that.

To narrate the life of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) is a very good deed which is filled with blessings and benefits and it should always be done. The one, who has true love, will do it all the time. The one, who has seasonal love, will choose a season to do it. And the one who does not even have this in him, will not only refrain from doing it, but will also prevent others from doing it. He is a most unfortunate one.

اَللّٰهُمَّ ارْزُقْنَا حُبَّكَ وَحُبَّ نَبِيِّكَ

Oh Allah! Grant us your love and the love of your Nabi (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam)
