Madani Inamaat

Madni Inamaat or Madani Inamaat is a questionnaire composed by Shaykh Sheikh Maulana Ilyas Attar Qadri, the head of Dawate Islami, intended to assist Muslims with self-analysis and personal accountability, assessing observance of fard (obligatory), wajib (compulsory), Sunnah (Prophetic ways) and mustahibbāt (recommended) matters. It includes questions related to safeguarding from sins, building morality, and improving personal character.[1]

(Urdu: مدنى انعامات) Inamaat (pleural, singular = Inaam) literally means gifts from Madina. Every question is termed a Gift – a gift of the hereafter.

The act of filling out this questionnaire while contemplating the day's deeds is termed Fikr-e-Madinah in the Madni Mahul (environment) of Dawat-e-Islami.[2]
