Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (Radhiyallaho anho) narrated that Rasullullah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) said."Learn the Qur'an and recite it,because the example of one who learns the Qur'an,reads it and recites it in Tahajjud (salaat late after midnight) is like an open bag full of musk,the fragrance whereof spreads over the entire place,and a person who has learnt the Qur'an but sleeps while the Qur'an is in his heart,is like a bag full of musk but with its mouth closed." It means that the example of one who learns the Qur'an and cares for it and recites it in Tahajjud salaat is like that of a musk-container which,if opened,fills the whole house with its sweet smell. In the same way ,the entire house is lit up with divine ligh and blessings due to the recitation by the hafiz. Even if the hafiz remains a sleep or does not recite through his negligence,the Qur'an in his heart is in any case the musk. This negligence resulted in the loss that others were deprived of the blessings of Qur'an,but his heart dose,in any case,contain the musk of Qur'an.

ABU MUSA ( RADHIYALLAHO ANHO )
Hadhrat abu Musa ( Radhiyallaho anho )narrated that Rasulullah ( Sallallaho alaihe wasallam )said :
"The example of a mo'min ( beliver ) eho reads the Qur'an is like that of citron which has a pleasant
smell and a sweet taste. The example of a mo'min who does not read the Qur'an is like that of a date,
which has no smell, though its taste is sweet. The munafiq ( hypocrite ) who does not read the
Qur'an is the like a wild gourd, which has a bitter taste and no smell, and the munafiq who reads
the Qur'an is like a raihan ( sweetsmelling flower ), which is fragrant but has a bitter taste."
In this hadith an abstract quality of reading the Glorious Qur'an, has been compared to concrete
objects in order to illustrate the difference between reading and not reading the Holy Qur'an.
Otherwise it is obvious that material objects of this world like citrons and dates cannot match the
sweetness and perfume of the Qur'an. There are, however, special points in this similitude, which
pertain to the deep knowledge of the Prophets and testify to the vast understanding of Rasulullah
( Sallallaho alaihe wasallam ). Consider, for example, the citron, which gives flavour to the mouth,
cleans the stomach and stimulates digestion. These are the qualities specially associated with the
reading of the Qur'an since, fragrance in the mouth, internal purity and spirtual strength result from
reading the Qur'an. It also said that if there is citre in the house, no jinn can enter it.If it is true, then
such is the speciality of the Qur'an. Some physians say that citron stengthens the memory and it is
reported in 'Ihya' by Hadhrat Ali ( Radhiyallaho anho ) that three things, i, e, cleaning the teeth with
miswak, fasting and reding the Holy Qur'an strengthen the memory.
In the book of Abu Dawood, it is mentioned at the conclusion of the hadith given above that a
good companion is like a person having musk. Even if you do not get musk, you will at least enjoy
its fragrance. An evil companion is like a person with a furnace, near whom, even if you do not get
blackened, you certainly cannot avoid the smoke. It is therefore, important that one should be very
careful in choosing hid companions, with whom he has to mix generally.

PROCEDURE TO WORK
The most importan factor in the task of Tabligh is the manner and the method of approach,which
simply means to follow closely the lines adopted by the worthy Companions of the HolyProphet
( Sallallaho alaihe wasallam ) strictly in accordance with his teaching and practices.The method
adoptrd by the Holy Prophet ( Sallallaho alaihe wasallam ) was as follows:
A jamaat or group of at least ten men should be formed. One of them should be selected" amir "
( leader ).They should get together in a mosque, make ablutions and offer tow * rakaat' nafil 'prayers.
After this, all should supplicate together and beseech for Divine mercy, help and guidance for success in their efforts and remaining steadfast and resolute in their task of Tabligh.For all this time,
" Zikr " should be recited by all, and every precaution should be taken not to indulge in idle talk, On
reaching the plase for " Tabligh ",once again the " jamaat "should supplicate and beseech for
Allah Ta'ala's mercy and help in their mission. The place of Tabligh will be the vicinity of a mosque of the locality where the work is to be conducted. A part of the " jamaat " should be detailed to tour
the locality calmly, and quietly inviting people to the mosque, where " ta'leem, ( reading and teaching out of religious books ) should be in progress and later the " namaz " ( prayers ) of the time should
be offered. After this, one of the members of the " jamaat " should place before the people, in an
affectionate and calm manner,the inportance and urgency of reviving Islam in each and every Muslim
as ordained by Allah Ta'ala and the Holy Prophet ( Sallallaho alaihe wasallam ),giving out as simply as possible the cardinal points of Tabligh and the way to accomplish them Finally, the people should be persuaded, again in a cordial manner, to join hands in this sacred task and come out to bo
the work of Tablighg like the Jamaat itself.
Later, some members of the " jamaat " may accompany the people to their homes, where
the womenfolk should also be addressed to do similar duty among women.
They should be told to be regular in their daily prayers. All this should be done without
entering the privete portion of any hous. The women should also be told to strictly follow the
cardinal points of " Tabligh " in their daily life and observe " pardah " in accordance with the
" Shriat "
After this all such people who may be prepared to join the work should be organized into
a separate " jamaat ", with and " amir " from among themselves. They should first be made to
work under the guidance of the members of the original " jamaat ". The important point to
be remembered at this stage is that every person engaged on " Tabligh " must fully obey his
" amir " and the latter, in turn, should ensure that his personal services and attention are
available to each and every member of his Jamaat. He must see to every person's welfare,
comfore, comforts and morale and, before taking any decision, he must consult all his
collegues.The following general principles of the work of " Tabligh " should be carefully
at all times.

Contenu Hadhith
"Suffah" is the name of a particular raised platform in the Mosque of the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) in Medina. It used to be occupieci by the poor Muslim muhajirin (Plural of muhajir-emigrant from Mecca to Medina) who are known as "Ashab-us-Suffah" (Men of Suffah). The number of these men varied from time to time: 'Allamah Suyuti (Rahmatullah alaih) has listed one hundred and one names and also written an independent book let about their names. But- han and Aqeeq were the two market-places for camels near Medina. The camel, more particularly a shr-camel having a fat hump, was a favourite of the Arabs. The expression "without sin" is significant. A thing can be acquired without labour either by extortion, through illegal inheritance (by forcefully taking over the property of some relative) or by theft.Rasullullah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) thus ruled out all such acquisitions. Acquiring a thing without any sin is certainly preferred by all, but much more valuable is the learning of a few ayaat.

Hadhrat Uqbah ibn Aamir (Radhiyallaho anho) has said:
Hadhrat Uqbah ibn Aamir (Radhiyallaho anho) has said: "Rasulullah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) came to us while we were sitting on the Suffah and asked if any one of us would like to go to the market of But-haam or Aqeeq and fetch from there tow she-camels of the finest breed without commiting any sin or severing a tie of kinship. We replied that everyone of us would love to do so. Rasulullah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) then said that going to the musjid and reciting or teaching two ayaat of the Qur'an is more precious than two she-camels, three ayaat are most precious than three she-camels, and that similarly reciting or teaching of four ayaat is better than four she-camels and an equal number of camels."..........continue
