The last time I went 3 days in jamaat was December of 2003. Yesterday alhamdulillah again I left in path of Allah swt, granted only for short 3 days, but after a 7 year hiatus.

My friends were shocked and surprised that I went on jamaat - "Fusus what are you doing tonight?" "Uhh I'm on jamaat bro." "What?? Jamaat? YOU?? WHY?!?" This was the general reaction.

We have to do work of dawat tabligh. Its a good work, a haq work. We have to take part in this work; it is in our benefit. The virtues of this noble work are too many to discuss here.

But now I must go. We are sleeping till 930am, then breakfast then ta'leem. I was chosen for bayaan but excused myself citing not knowing 6 points. So currently I have no responsibility. Everyone is sleeping. Apparently I am on jamaat with lions because these guys just don't snore they roar! These guys are typical jamatis, they look after other before themselves. They serve others first and then take the leftovers. No selfishness, totally selfless people. Our amir has spent 4 months in Pakistan and 40 days every year. Actually there is no amir or you can say we have 2 amirs - out of humility they can't decide who is amir. Neither one wants to be amir. So I said, "You are amir and he is vice amir problem solved." This didn't work so I offered to flip a coin for them to decide who is amir.

I slept I think 3 hours last night. But I am fresh and awake; the lions are back to sleep. I am on jamaat with some great people. I am very excited I got this group. After Fajr a local big scholar gave bayaan/dars, excellent dars. I loved it. It seemed to me like a tasawwuf dars. He jumped from topic to topic, story to story, I tried to chase the concepts but there was no connection or little connection. It was very good.

Then we did mashora (consultation). I am definitely the jamaat comedian cracking lots of jokes; keeping things light. The jamaat responds well; its an easy crowd.

Ok I need to get to sleep or do something. After Zuhr we have tons of people to meet. Seems we will do meetings until Asr salaat. Ok I am gone, time for tasbihaat till breakfast I guess.

One thing I really liked: at tahajjud time the elder white beards slept (and they do deserve their rest, they have done a lot of work mashaAllah), while the young black beards were up in dua, in sajdah, crying before Allah swt. It was refreshing and very encouraging to see. I am very hopeful if we have youth like this in America waking for tahajjud and crying for the Ummah. It makes me very hopeful. Work of dawat tabligh is amazing! I missed it. Please try to go out 3 days every month - you won't regret! It is what YOU make it.

I am thinking to change my whole life simply from this one night so far. I have been waiting 7 years for this.

Ok I'm gone to sleep now. With a'fiyat fadhl and karam, ameen.

    Well done brother. The best work in the world is tableegh. Continue it with your jamaat. Its badluck that I could not do it. I can write a little but I can not speak. Its my nature since birth. It is a reason for not going anywhere with jamaat but main reason is nafs. I request you to pray for me also. Thanks & regards.

    so both zikr and fikr are going places hand in hand.. i always found going out with hyderabadis very fascinating.. back in the day any 'Jod' falling on off days was a big event.. it would take place at surrounding villages most of the time. we medicos would either set off on 5 - 6 motrocycles or packed in a ' Jeep ' ( common term for an offroader in india.) with the hyderabadis came the good food as usual.. the seniors were particularly super comedy guys..

    we used to do weekly ' gusht ' on sunday evenings covering all the hostels and neighbourhood.. splitting into 2 jamaats.. so i happned to be the ' mutakkalim ' once.. went over the senior hostel looking out for a super senior hyderabadi ( a chronic repeater ).. so we entered his room.. big salaams and hugs.. he loved to see me.. and the talk went on about virtues.. jannah and so on..with his occasional noddings in between.. then halted me saying ..

    " Dekho mian tableegh wale bohot kharab fasaate.. yahan kahte jannat hai ..mehel hai .. hoor hai aisa waisa karko.. wahan jaane ke baad hum jaison ko jama karke bolte chalo re s**lo phaode kulhadiya uthao ..jannat walon ke liye gharan banao.. mehel hona kate .. surat na shakal.. chale aate kate.."

    ( see u tableeghis are known to trap us very badly.. u talk here about jannah.. palaces.. hoors and so on and when we reach there ultimately they shall gather the likes of us ordering to pick up hammers and axes to do masonry work.. )

    we did keep a kettle for making chai at the masjid.. so normally guys would sit for chai and listen.. so i guess the secret of making lions out of little cats lies in tht biryani and chai..

    so enjoy the good life brother.. stop snoring and start roaring..

    do send us all lotss of duas..

    jazakallah khair..

    wa assalam..

    Pray for me so I can resolve to go in Jamaat within my very busy schedule. Please pray for me that ALLAH keep me intact of this great work that reminds us the time of the sahaba r.z.
