Nobility of Sayyiduna Abu Darda رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ - Dawat-e-Islami

Nobility of Sayyidunā Abū Dardā
In the booklet ‘Qātīl, Imāmat kay Muṣāllay Par’ comprising of
32 pages, published by Maktaba-tul-Madīnaĥ the publishing
organ of Dawat-e-Islami, it is stated on pages 4 to 6:
Dear Islamic brothers! Usually those who are ignorant of
teachings of the Holy Quran and the blessed Sunnaĥ fall prey
to deceptions of Nafs and Satan and thus commit major crimes
like murder, terrorism, theft, robbery, adultery, gambling etc.
that fling them into jail.
Dawat-e-Islami has established ‘Majlis-e-Faīzān-e-
Quran’ for preaching the prisoners towards right path by
conducting various Madanī activities. The commencement of
Madanī activities of Dawat-e-Islami in prisons was brought
to thought when some years ago a man after serving his
imprisonment came to Amīr-e-Aĥl-e-Sunnat Muhammad
Ilyas Attar Qadiri
and described the appalling
conditions of the prisons saying: ‘Our prisons do provide
the environment that makes the prisoners enmeshed in
committing more sins rather than guiding or reforming them
so there requires strong efforts to guide the prisoners on the
virtuous path. Hearing this, the great well-wisher of Ummaĥ,
Amīr-e-Aĥl-e-Sunnat decided to initiate the Madanī activities
of Dawat-e-Islami among prisoners as well. So ‘Majlis-e-Faīzāne-Quran’
commenced Madanī activities in prisons under the
supervision of ‘Markazī Majlis-e-Shūrā.’
