The first blossom of the Da’wah (invitation)
On one of the most exciting days, seminars and conferences were held on the life of the Holy Prophet. This child, full of loving nature and glowing with the love of the Prophet, who until that time perhaps had limited knowledge of the life of the Holy Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, stood up and asked his sister to tie a turban on his head and put on a beautiful dress, and he walked to the house of his friends with this fervent wish, . He gathered many people with him and brought them home so that he could organize the Sirat seminar in the best possible way. In short, the promised moment arrived, and many children and young people joined his gathering and added to the warmth of this gathering. Therefore, by the gathering of friends and the warming of the gathering, it was as if this child, who was the cause of such a blessed gathering, was proud of himself and was happy from the bottom of his heart for the action of showing love towards the Holy Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. Therefore, he sat all his friends down, took a book of biographies in his hand and started reading this book, at the age when He even could not pronounce the name of Abdul Muttalib, the grandfather of the Prophet, peace be upon him, very well. In short, this blessed gathering ended with as much success as possible for this child and his companions, and the wishes of this young man came true.
Yes! A child who heard about the beloved Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, from the first days of his life, the stories of the Prophet and his companions have always been the warmth of his gathering days and nights. Such a success will be very satisfying for him, and if we say it might not be far from the truth that these works were a grateful effort that laid the foundation for his scientific and practical progress in the next stages.
As this child grew older and older, these dreams became truer and his scientific and spiritual seedlings became more mature and went towards prosperity and fertility. In other stages of his life, this love was also increased and this thought, as well as the thought of Islamic Da’wah and the revival of Islam, were always at the forefront of his great deeds. This child’s name was Ali, who was also known as Abul Hassan, and later he became a torch bearer of religious calling and one of the most active pioneers of Islamic awakening in the Islamic world, who was known everywhere as Sheikh Abul Hassan Ali Hassani Nadwi. Imam Nadwi, after that childhood dream, was truly an adornment of many seminars on Islamic life and Da’wah, and wherever he stepped, his main and real motivation was awakening and calling to Allah Almighty.
