For the first time in history a 
full time institution has been setup where anybody can apply to sit for reciting 
Salat and Salam on the beloved Prophet Muhammad (SWS) a unique way to promote 
the love for the beloved and to increase spiritually. 
That blessed place will have people reciting Darood Sharif and reciting the Holy 
Qur'an non stop on daily basis, 24 hours a day, every week, every month and it 
will continue Inshah-Allah forever. A group of 8 people will be sitting in the 
blessed area to take part in the unique spiritual retreat for at least 10 days 
or however they wish to. The 8 people will be replaced by another 8 people who 
will recite at night. The participants will be fasting and will stay in Wudu all 
the time. Food will be provided by Minhaj-ul-Quran. Monthly, over 50 million 
greetings and salutations will be presented to the beloved Prophet (s.a.w.w) 
along with 30 Qur'ans.
