Islamic and Qur'anic education forms the entire foundation of human civilization and character. To become a chosen and favored servant of Allaah Ta'aala, it is essential to have the true recognition (ma'refat) and love of the Ahl-e-Bayt (the family of the Prophet, SAWS) within one's heart and conscience. This recognition is attained by acquiring religious knowledge (deeni ilm), and it is this knowledge—not worldly knowledge—that will be of use in the spiritual afterlife (aakherat) after death.

The scope of worldly knowledge is limited only to this world, serving merely as a means to earn a livelihood. Religious knowledge, coupled with righteous deeds (amal-e-saaleh), will become the cause of Allaah's mercy in the grave. Many ignorant people immerse themselves so deeply in the pursuit of worldly knowledge that they lose themselves in worldly affairs, completely forgetting their own creation, the purpose of life, and their ultimate destination in the afterlife. They remain heedless of religion (deen) and Islamic law (shari'at) until the very end.

Such people are miles away from the shadow of Allaah’s grace, and they hold no respect or value in the sight of Allaah. Huzoor-e-'Aali Saiyedna saheb TUS repeats these words often and guides us by saying, “Only those will succeed in this world and the hereafter who protected their faith while living here in this world, and who recognized that it is the place of action (daar ul-amal) and the afterlife is the place of accountability (daar ul-hisaab).”

His sole intent and guidance are that every individual of the community (jamaa'at) becomes elevated through religious knowledge. To transform this noble intent into reality, approximately 21 publications (nashariyaat) have already been published under the Department of Tarbiyat ul-Mumineen of Da'wat-e-Haadiyah. Lord willing (inshaallaah), a few interesting and beneficial books will be made available to the believers (mumineen) in a short time. These publications are listed here for the information of the mumineen. Those who do not possess these books can obtain them from the Office (vezaarat) of Da'wat.

Aapno mansha ane hidaayat ye-j che ke jama’at no har fard deeni ilm thi sarfaraaz thaii. Aa naik mansha ne haqeeqat ma tabdeel karwaa waste Da'wat-e-Hadiyah na Tarbiyat ul-Mumineen na idaara na ma-tahat taqreeban 21 nashariyyat shaaya thaii chuki che, ane inshallah thoda arsaa ma mumineen ne chand dilchasp ane mufeed kitaabo dast-yaab thase. Yahaan aa nashariyyat ni mumineen ni maalumaat waste mukwaama aawi che. Jehne paase aa kitaabo maujood na hoi ta Da'wat ni vezaarat par thi haasil kari sake che.

 

The du'aa-supplication “Allaaho Akbaro”, which we used to recite after offering every obligatory (farz) namaaz except the Asr farz namaaz, has now been re-framed in a new format and style, keeping in mind the occasion of 15th Rajab ul-Murajjab 1447 AH (Ayyaam ul-Beez). Mumineen are instructed that henceforth this du'aa should be recited in a new and correct way. For the convenience of the Mumineen in recitation/reading and in listening to the du'aa, a PDF file of the du'aa (in Arabic and Gujarati) and its audio are also being released by Da'wat e Sharifah's publication division.
     
 

Reprint of as-Saheefat ut-Taiyebiyah: Shahrullaah 1446

When this Saheefah was published in 1431 AH in Lisaan ud Da'wat Gujarati language, no one would have thought that it would become so handy and popular among Mumineen that with every passing year its demand would surpass the available stock. So much so that its waiting list was prepared in the Vezaarat. In Rajab ul Murajjab 1446 AH, Aqaa Maulaa TUS gave permission for its reprint. With minor changes it is again made available with new look of cover-page for Mumineen, so that during the Layaali Faazelah of Shahrullaah, those who needed could refer it for various namaaz and du'aa.

These stories of Bani Isra'eel got published in the Deeni Newsletter Mishkaat ul Haadi starting from 1433 till 1443 AH.

  This book named "A Neo-Fatimid Treasury of Books", Arabic MSS among the Alavi Bohras of South-Asia by Olly Akkerman tells the story of a manuscript repository found all over the pre-modern Muslim world: the Khizaanat ul-Kutub, or treasury of books.
