PREAMBLE OF THE BOOK

Know that speech is the nature of the speaker (what is in you appears in your mouth). The hizibs of the wise mashaykhs and the scholars of good deeds and their recitations and memorizations, their lofty supplications and high dhikr and so on are the nature of their state, the nature of their example, the legacy of their knowledge and deeds straightened by their inspirations, along with their karomahs. With that they conducted all their affairs, not by lust. Hence, their words are accepted. Perhaps someone after them wanted to work that out for himself. It turns out that what he did resulted in the opposite of that.

It is told: That the bee taught the beetle how to weave a hive. Then he wove such a hive and made a home like a bee. Then the beetle claimed that he had the same skill as the bee.

So the bee said to him: This is the house, then where is the honey?

Indeed the secret is in the people, not the place.

Ba Saudan mentioned this in the books Dzaakhiratul ma’ad syarhu raatib Al-Haddad and Al-Dawagji Ash-Shami.

Ba Saudan also mentioned it in Adh-Dzakhirah in another place before this: With regard to the compilations of wirids, hizibs, ratibratibs and other such supplications by the wise Imams and scholars who did good deeds, it has been mentioned by Ash-Shaykh Zarrug and others who wrote the commentaries on the hizibs of Ash-Shaykh Abil Hasan Ash-Shadzili and Al-Imam An-Nawawi and others: that the establishment of these things and their practice are valid and clear from the Sunnah. The witnesses are many.

This is proven by the Prophet’s ruling on the dhikr and supplications that he heard from many of his companions with different words and clear meanings without being taught or learning the words from the Prophet.

Among them: The Hadith of ‘Abdullah ibn Buraydah that the Prophet heard a man say:

“O Allah, I ask You that You are Allah, there is no god but You, the one and only God, the one to whom everything is asked, who has neither begotten nor been begotten, and there is nothing equal to Him.”

So the Prophet said: “He has invoked Allah Ta’ala with His most majestic name which when He is called by it, He fulfills the call and when something is asked by mentioning it, He gives it.”

And other traditions that he mentioned by quoting from the Prophetic remembrances by Al-Imam An-Nawawi.

Then he said: The compilation of hizibs, wirids and supplications has conditions.

Among them: They must be composed in accordance with what is required, not based on artificial desires and endeavors.

The words must be free from misunderstanding, ambiguity and complexity, because they must be in accordance with the words of As-Shaari’ and their meanings, and refer to the principles and fundamentals.

So look at the book, for it is a precious collection.

What we have collected in these small pages is of this type, as the reader will see in detail in sha Allah.

Furthermore, a person does not use something but loves its owner (Whoever loves a people will be gathered with them) as mentioned in the hadith.

He should also be kind to the one who displays it, believing in the goodness of its source, because that is a condition of its utilization.

Every good thing is found in belief and every bad thing is found in reproach.

Because people are elevated according to their beliefs and anyone who does not believe is not benefited.

Allah SWT does not waste those who hope and those who pray to him.

And if a person believes in something and it is not what he thought, he is not in vain and Allah gives him.

So practice, O my brother, all that is contained in this book (Kanzun najah was surur min al-ad’iyati al-latii tasyrahus shuduur) because it contains many benefits, so that you are saved by it from various corruptions and evils and you get various virtues and rewards from your Lord.

You also make supplications similar to it and in accordance with the noble scales of Shara’ and its high rulings from every supplication offered by the scholars of good deeds and the righteous and wise auliya, the righteous seers and the righteous and successful recipients of inspiration. In addition, you are practicing the supplications that Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, has revealed in His words which are

Ta’ala in His revealed words and the supplications narrated from our prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

Although practicing these two types is preferable, there is no prohibition at all on reciting the supplications that we will mention.

Even if people make up their own supplications in the order we have mentioned, there is nothing wrong with that.

In fact, if he understands their meaning, he will have full pleasure. In addition, mix your supplications with the narrated supplications so that you may get the full benefit.

It does not bother you to say that people should not make supplications except those that come from Allah Ta’ala and the leader of the world Muhammad (peace be upon him).

Because the leaders of the scholars and auliya whom we will mention, they do not draw their abundant prayers except from the sea of the most noble Prophet and do not draw their bright lights except from the light of the Prophet.

They all get from the Messenger of Allah like taking a handful of water from the ocean or a sip of rainwater

You are the lamp of every virtue, so it does not come out of your light, but various kinds of light.

Every virtue in the universe, the noble ones borrow it from the virtues of the Prophet.

What is relied upon in this treatise from the supplications that save the reader, apart from what is narrated from the great Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, are the sayings of the wise sages, ahl al kasyaf, whose hunches do not fail.

Whoever criticizes them is wrong and very wrong.

They were shown its benefits so that they paid attention to its compilation, then practiced it and encouraged people to practice it. So people followed them in practicing it when they signaled to them in the east and west, scholars and others, non-Arabs and Arabs.

So they witnessed its blessings and saw the evidence that showed its validity, and knew that the greatness of sharee’ah does not reject it, but inclines towards it, as has been shown in the prayers of those who created it, and confirmed by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).

The guideline is the generality of the word, not the specificity of the cause.

So understand, my brother, and put this requirement into practice. What will harm you is if you believe while practicing it that the supplication came from the great Prophet. You should not attribute to the Prophet (peace be upon him) words that he did not say, lest you be included in the tradition narrated from the Prophet (peace be upon him):

“Whoever lies against me, let him take his place in Hell.” (Hadith narrated by Bukhari).

So practice these supplications relying on Allah without looking to anything other than Him, not because they are definitely narrated from the noble Prophet, for the sake of following the righteous salaf who have done it and encouraging them to practice it for the sake of taking blessings from their successful practice and emulating the prominent Sufis and obeying the words of those who recommend it and seeking good fortune with their deeds that are blessed.

May Allah benefit us from their cause and give us and you the guidance to do what He likes and is pleased with. Amen.

If you say: We do not deny supplication per se, but what we deny is that these supplications are not asked for, except in these special times as you will see in this treatise?

I say: You already know that what is relied upon in what we have mentioned are the words of the righteous, ahlil kasyaf and their deeds.

They are also supplications and solemn supplications to Allah, the Most Receptive and Merciful, and the recitation of the Qur’an, and they are not forbidden at any one time.

at any one time. So whoever does these things is only seeking to supplicate Allah and recite the words of the Lord of all creation.

There is no innovation in that and it should not be denied. Whoever denies this deserves humiliation and destruction. May Allah protect us all from the intentions of the unscrupulous and make us people who follow the example of the pious leading scholars for the sake of the Prophet’s position. Aameen.

Thus, let us enter into the purpose of this discussion with the help of the All-Knowing King.

DEEDS REQUESTED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR

Know that Muharram is a great month and its virtues are many and extensive. Muharram is the best month for fasting after Ramadan, then Rajab, then Dhu al-Hijjah, then Dhu al-Qadah, then Sha’ban. Muharram is Allah’s sanctified month and the best of the Haram months and the third of the three consecutive Haram months. The fourth of the Haram months is Rajab which is singular.

Al-Hafidh ibn Hajar mentioned: it was narrated from Hafshah from the Prophet that he said:

“Whoever fasts the last day of the month of Dhu al-Hijjah and the first day of the month of Muharram, Allah will make that fast a ransom for fifty years. And one day of Muharram is equal to thirty days of fasting.”

Al-Ghazali said in al-Ihya’ from the Prophet that he said:

“Whoever fasts three days of the month of Haram, namely Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Allah Ta’ala establishes for him the worship of 700 years.”

(Hadiths such as the one mentioned above should be checked before they are acted upon, as there is a fear that they may be maudlu’).

Prayers in the month of Muharram are narrated and their merits are many. Among the ones that I have found are the first two of the following supplications:

Ayatul Kursi 360 times with Basmalah in each case, and when you have finished it, say:.

“O Allah, O Lord who is able to change circumstances, change my situation into the best possible situation by Your power and might. O Lord of Might, O Lord of Highness. Wa shahu “alaa Sayyidina Muhammadin wa ‘alaa aalihi wa shahbihi wa sallam.”

This recitation contains great benefits, as you will find out, in sha Allah Ta’ala.

Our shaykh said: And the shaykh of our mashayyikhs, al-Arif birabbihi al-Mannan, sayyiduna and maulana As-Sayyid Ahmad ibn Zaini Dahlan, as I quoted him from his writings in his Safinah:

One of the scholars mentioned that he recited on the first day of the month of Muharram Ayatul Kursi 360 times with Basmalah in each case.

Indeed, this recitation is a strong fortress to protect against the cursed shaitan during that year. It contains countless and infinite benefits.

It is our shaykh, Ash-Shaykh Uthman ad-Dimyathi 2 selah, who recites it, and it is proper to do so before prayer.

Said Al-Allamah Ash-Shaykh Hasan Al-Idwi Al-Hamzaw in (. ): Ash-Shaykh Abul Yusri Al-Qatthan the student of Ash-Shaykh Karimuddin Al-Khalwati mentioned from Ash-Shaykh Damardasy Al-Kabir : Whoever recites Ayatu Kursi on the first day of the month of Muharram 360 times, reciting the Basmalah at the beginning of each time, and when he finishes reciting:

“O Allah, O Lord who is able to change states, change my state into the best state by Your power and might. O Lord of Might, O Lord of Highness. Wa shahu ‘alaa Sayyidina Muhammadin wa ‘alaa aalihi wa shahbihi wa sallam.”

So he is protected from all calamities in all years.

Al-Allamah Ad-Dairi mentioned the benefits of it

by quoting from al-Allamah Jamaluddin Sibth ibn Jauzi from Ash-Shaikh Umar ibn Qudamah Al-Maqdisi, the supplication for the beginning of the year and the supplication for its end and he said: Our teachers always advised us to recite it and they themselves recited it. I have never forgotten to recite them in my life. As for the supplication for the beginning of the year, he said:

“In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of all worlds. O Allah, bless Sayyidina Muhammad with the blessing that fills the treasury of Allah with light and is a cause of freedom and joy for us and the believers, and for his family and companions, . and grant them much prosperity.”

“O Allah, You are the eternal, the gadim (old) and the beginning, and in Your great bounty and comprehensive mercy we hope. This new year has come. I ask You for protection from the evil of the shaitan and his followers and help to deal with these desires that always urge to do evil, and to be busy with something that brings me closer to You, O Lord of majesty and glory. Wa shahu ta’ala ‘alaa Sayyidina Muhammadin wa ‘alaa aalihi wa shahbihi wa sallam.”

He recited it three times, because the shaitan said: “He has found protection for himself”, and two angels are guarding him from the shaitan and his followers.

Al-Allamah Ash-Sharif Al-Hasani, who is known as Ma’ul ainain, said this in the book “Nartil bidaayaat”: (These are the benefits) for the one who has reached the final stage and for the one who is still at the beginning.

First: Regarding the things that are beneficial in this year. Among them is the prayer for the beginning of the year.

Our shaykh and the shaykhs of our mashaykh mentioned it in their Safinah as well and said: One of them mentioned Al-Imam Hujjatul Islam Muhammad Al-Ghazali – Qaddasallahu sirrahu – who said:

I was in Makkah Al-Musyarrafah on the first day of the new year of Hijrah performing tawaaf at Al-Baitil Haram (the Kaaba). Suddenly the desire to meet Al-Khadhir came to my mind on that day and Allah Almighty inspired me with this supplication. So I prayed to Allah Ta’ala to bring me together with him on that day.

As soon as I finished praying, Al-Khidhir suddenly appeared at the place of tawaaf. So I started tawaaf with him and did what he did and said what he said until he finished his tawaaf, then I sat facing the Kaaba. .

Then he turned to me and said: O Muhammad, what prompted you to ask Allah to bring me together with you on this day and in this holy place?

So I replied: O my lord, it is a new year and I wish to follow you in welcoming it with your worship and prayers.

He said: Yes. Then he said: Pray the perfect prayer.

Then I stood up and performed the prayer that he asked me to perform. When I finished it, Al-Khadhir said: Pray the supplication that has been narrated and that contains much goodness and blessings, namely:

“In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all worlds. O Allah, I ask You with Your help to bestow peace and blessings upon Sayyidina Muhammad and the other prophets and messengers and their families and companions.

And I ask You to forgive me my past sins and keep me from the next, O Merciful Lord of the merciful.

O Allah, the new year has come. I did not do at the beginning of it any deed that would bring me closer to You, except my supplication to You. So I ask You to grant me the ability to make You pleased with me by doing my obligations to You in the form of obedience and sincerity that You have required of me in order to gain the pleasure of Your Most Gracious self in worshiping You. And I ask You to fulfill that obligation to me with Your grace and mercy.

O Allah, I ask You for the good of this coming year: its blessings and ease, its security and safety. And I seek refuge with You from its evils and obstacles, its hardships, fears and dangers.

And I ask You to preserve my religion which is the protector of my affairs and my world in which there is my livelihood and to guide me in it to the deeds that cause You to be pleased with me in my Hereafter, O Most Merciful of the Merciful.

Wa shahu ta’ala “alaa Sayyidina Muhammadin wa “alaa aalihi wa shahbihi wa sallam.

“Their supplication in it is: “Subhanakallahumma”, and the greeting of

Their salutation is “Salam”. And the conclusion of their supplication is: “Alhamdulillahi Rabbil “aalamiin.” (QS. Yunus: 10).

The supplication to be recited on each day of the first ten days of Muharram

Our shaykh and the shaykh of our mashaykh said: The supplication mentioned is also to protect against the encroachment of the shaitan for the entire year: You say every day of the first ten days of Muharram (three times):

“O Allah, You are the gadim (old), while this year has come and a new year has arisen.

We ask You for its goodness and seek refuge with You from its evil and seek Your protection from its transgressions and omissions. So grant us protection from the harassment of the accursed shaitan.

O Allah, surely You have given the ability to harass us to an enemy who sees our faults and knows our private parts from in front of us and behind us, from our right and left, he and his followers see us from a place where we cannot see them.

O Allah, make him despair of us as You made him despair of Your mercy, and make him despair of us as You made him despair of Your forgiveness.

Put a distance between us and him as You put a barrier between him and Your forgiveness.

Verily You are able to do that and You are the One who is able to do whatever You wish.

Wa sallallahu Ta’ala ‘alaa Sayyidina Muhammadin wa ‘alaa aalihi wa Shahbihi wa sallam.”

This supplication was mentioned by al-Allamah Ash-Sayyidi ‘Ali Al-Wina’y Ash-Shafi’i in his collected treatises on the night of the nisfu of Sha’ban and others such as Ramadan.

As for the year-end supplication, it will be mentioned in sha’ Allah at the end of these pages.

Benefit: Among the valid practices of the mujarrab (as mentioned in the book (. ) by As-Sayyid Ash-Sharif Ma’ul ainain is that whoever writes the Basmalah at the beginning of Muharram 113 times, his bearer will not have any calamity happen to him and his family during his lifetime.

And if he meets an unjust ruler, he will be safe from his evil. And Allah knows better about his secrets.

Among the efficacies of the word of Allah:

“So do the people of those lands feel secure from Our torment coming upon them at night while they sleep?

Or do the inhabitants of those lands feel secure from Our punishment coming upon them at the time when the sun is halfway up while they are playing.

So do they feel safe from the (unsuspected) punishment of Allah? None is safe from the punishment of Allah except the losers.” (QS. Al-A’raaf: 97-99).

This recitation has the effect of driving away venomous animals from the house. If you want that, then write these verses on the first day of the month of Muharram on paper and wash it with water, then sprinkle the water in the corners of the room or house. Then you will be safe from all that with the permission of Allah Ta’ala.

A great benefit that contains much goodness: It says in al-Jaami’ ash-shaghir from ibn As-Sunni from Anas:

When the Prophet saw the new moon, he said:

“O Allah, make him a moon that brings blessings and truth, I believe in the Lord who created and perfected you. Glory be to Allah, the best of creators.”

It is mentioned in Musnad Ad-Darimi and Sahih ibn Hibban that the Prophet said when he saw the new moon:

“Allahu Akbar. O Allah, make him the moon that brings security and faith and safety and Islam and the guidance to do deeds that You like and are pleased with. Our Lord and your Lord is Allah.”

In Sunan Abu Dawud – is the Prophet saying:     (twice) (three times).

(It is recommended) to recite after that surah Tabarok al-mulku. Based on an atsar about it and because it is the surah that saves and protects (from the punishment of the grave).

As-Subki said: It seems to be because it has 30 verses like the number of days in a month and because tranquility descends when reciting it.

The Prophet recited it when he went to sleep. One should recite it when he sees the new moon.

DEEDS TO BE DONE ON THE DAY OF ‘ASHOORA’

It should be noted that one of the deeds that are asked for in the month of ‘Ashoora’ is to spend the night therein. It is an action that is highly recommended by Ash-Sharee’, because on that night Rabbani help and bounty descend, especially by reciting the Qur’an or listening to it and reciting the supplications and dhikr that are narrated.

It is also requested on the night of Ashura as mentioned by Al-Allamah Ad-Dairobi regarding the efficacy of Ayatul Kursi in his book Mujarrabat and the author of the book “Nartil bidaayaat” that whoever recites on the night of Ashura after completing ablution and performing two rak’ahs of Ayatul Kursi 360 times with reciting Basmalah on each time as it has passed at the beginning of each day from him facing the qiblah and kneeling. Then after finishing reciting the number, he recites:

(forty-eight times).

Then he says:

“O Allah, this is indeed a new night, a new month and a new year. So grant me, O Allah, its goodness and the goodness of all that is in it, and keep away its evil and the evil of its trials and innovations and the evil of its lusts, passions and the accursed shaitan.” (12 times).

He concludes this supplication with whatever supplication he wishes from the Qur’an and prays for all Muslims and Muslim women after saying the salawat for the Prophet and reciting tasbih and tahlil several times. In that year he will be protected from other dangers, and Allah is in control of everything.

Among the things that are required on the day of ‘Ashoora’ is to do various deeds. Some count ten deeds and some count twelve. These are: Reciting the salawat and salam, establishing friendship and giving alms, bathing and wearing kohl, visiting the pious and visiting the sick, wiping the heads of orphans, providing for one’s family, cutting one’s nails and reciting surah al-Ikhlash (one thousand times).

On the day of Ashura there are ten deeds

and two are connected to it and have the virtues that are narrated

fast, recite the prayer, visit the pious, visit the sick and wear kohl.

wipe the heads of orphans, give sodagoh and take a bath.

provide for your family and cut your nails recite Sūrat al-Ikhlash a thousand times and you will get the reward.

These deeds are not valid except for fasting and providing for one’s family.

As for the other ten practices, some of them are dlo’if and some of them are maudlu’, as al-Allamah al-Ajhuri said. See al-Hamzawi’s book An-Nafahaat.

I made up the text in my own words to add to these three verses. So I said:

There is no valid Hadīth about this except that of spending and fasting, so keep it and follow it.

One of the things that is asked for on the day of ‘Ashoora’ is to pray with great solemnity and humility, especially by saying Hasbunallahu wa ni’mal wakiil and the tasbeeh of which more will come.

Indeed, in these two recitations there is great benefit and great results. Al-Allamah Ad-Dairobi has mentioned in his Fawaid and Sayyidi Muhammad Al-Amir ash-shaghir in his treatise on the virtues of ‘Ashoora’ by quoting from Al-Allamah Al-Ajhuri that whoever says on the day of ‘Ashoora’:     (Allah is our helper and Allah is the best of protectors, He is the best of protectors and the best of helpers) 70 times, then Allah protects him from calamities in that year.

Al-Ajhuri also said: As-Sayyid who was called Ghautsullah mentioned in Al-Jawahir that whoever recites the prayer on the day of ‘Ashoora’ (70 times) and recites this prayer (7 times), he does not die that year, while those who are near death are not guided to recite it.

This is the supplication:

“In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Merciful, and peace and blessings be upon Sayyidina Muhammad and his family and companions.

Subhanallah as full as the scales (of charity) and as much as the knowledge (of Allah), as much as the pleasure (of Allah) and as heavy as the scales of the Arsh. There is no refuge and no salvation from Allah except to return to Him.

Subhanallah is as much as an even and odd number and as much as a sentence: His perfect sentence in its entirety.

I ask You for complete salvation by Your mercy, O Lord, the Most Merciful of the merciful.

There is no power and no strength except with the help of Allah, the Most High, the Most Great. He is my helper and the best of protectors. Allah is the best of protectors and the best of helpers.

Wa sallallahu ta’ala “alaa nabiyyina khairi khalqihi Sayyidina

Muhammadin wa’alaa aalihi wa shahbihi wa sallam ajma’in.”

One of them mentioned Quthbuddin al-Hanafi An-Nahrawani and ibn Farhun al-Maliki.

Quthbuddin attributed it to praying the previous two rak’ahs, then reciting the supplication facing the qiblah with solemnity and presence of mind.

He recites it ten times and blows on himself each of the ten times. If it is recited to young children and the reciter blows on them, then they do not die and are told to imitate it to whichever of them can say it. This is what our shaykh and the shaykh of our mashaykh wrote.

It is mentioned in Fathul Baariy: The words that whoever recites them on the day of ‘Ashoora’ will not die, namely:

“Subhanallah, as much as the weight of deeds, as much as knowledge, as much as the pleasure of Allah, and as much as the weight of the Throne”.

Alhamdulillah as much as the scales (of deeds) and as much as the knowledge (of Allah), as much as the pleasure (of Allah) and as heavy as the scales of the Throne.

Allahu Akbar as much as the scales (of charity) and as much as the knowledge (of Allah), as much as the pleasure (of Allah) and as heavy as the scales of the Throne.

There is no refuge and no safety from Allah, except to return to Him.

Subhanallah as many times as there are even and odd numbers, and as many times as there are perfect sentences of Allah.

Alhamdulillah as many times as there are even and odd numbers, and as many times as there are perfect sentences of Allah.

Allahu Akbar as many times as there are even and odd numbers, and as many times as there are perfect sentences of Allah.

I ask You for salvation by Your mercy, O Lord of the Merciful among the merciful.

There is no power and no strength, except with the help of Allah, the Most High and the Most Great.

Wa sallallahu ta’ala ‘alaa Sayyidina Muhammadin wa ‘alaa aalihi wa shahbihi wa sallam ajma’in. walhamdu lillah rabbil ‘aalamiin.”

I saw in the writings of one of them: that one of the things that is asked on the day of ‘Ashoora’ is to recite this supplication:

“O Allah, O Lord who removes every calamity, O Lord who brought out Dzin Nun (Prophet Yunus) from the belly of the fish on the day of Ashoora, O Lord who united Ya’qub on the day of Ashoora, O Lord who forgave the sin of Dawud on the day of Ashoora, O Lord who healed the sickness of Ayyub on the day of Ashoora, O Lord who heard the prayer of Musa and Harun on the day of Ashoora, O Lord who created the spirit of Sayyidina Muhammad Saw your beloved and your chosen one

on the day of Ashura, O God who is the most merciful in the world and. there is no God but You.

Fulfill my desires in this world and the hereafter and prolong my life in obeying and loving You and earning Your pleasure, O Merciful God among the merciful.

Revive me in a good life and pass away in Islam and faith, O Most Merciful of the Merciful.

Wa sallallahu ta’ala ‘alaa Sayyidina Muhammadin wa ‘alaa aalihi wa shahbihi wa sallam.”

Among the supplications of Ashura is one that I found in the book Safinatul uluum by al-Allamah Ash-Shaikh Ibrahim Al-Atha Ash-Shami, which is:

“O Allah, O Lord of good, a sinner has come to You. O Lord of good deeds, You have commanded to forgive the wrongdoer.

So You are the one who does good and I am the sinner, so forgive my bad deeds with the goodness that is in You.

You are the one known by virtue and characterized by goodness. Grant me Your kindness and suffice me with it without needing any kindness from other than You, O Most Merciful of the merciful.

Wa sallallahu “alaa Sayyidina Muhammadin wa ‘alaa aalihi wa shahbihi wa sallam tasliman katsiran ila yaumiddin.”

Reminder: Al-Allamah Ash-Shaykh Zainuddin ibn Hajar al-Makki said in his book “Irshadul ibaad” like other scholars of the madhhab: Among the innovations that are blameworthy and sinful and that the rulers must prohibit are the twelve Rak’ahs of the prayer of Ar-Ragha’ib between Maghrib and Isha on the first Friday night of Rajab, and the one hundred Rak’ahs of the night of the nisfu of Sha’ban. And praying the last Friday of Ramadan for seventeen Rak’ahs with the intention of making up the five daily prayers that he has not made up. And praying two or four or more Rak’ahs on the day of ‘Ashoora’ and praying a week’s prayer.

As for the traditions that are maudlu’, they are not valid and do not be deceived by those who mention them.

I say: This is also the case with the prayer in the month of Safar. Whoever wants to pray at this time should intend to pray the absolute Sunnah individually without stipulating a specific number, which is not bound by time or cause and is not limited.

With Allah’s help we ask for guidance.

DEEDS THAT ARE REQUIRED IN THE MONTH OF SAFAR

It should be noted that what has been reported from the sayings of the righteous is that on the last Wednesday of the month of Safar a great calamity descends, and the calamities that are distributed throughout the year descend on that day. So whoever desires safety and protection from these calamities, let him supplicate on the first day of the month of Safar and also on the last Wednesday thereof with this supplication.

So whoever recites this supplication, Allah Almighty rejects the bad effects of this calamity. This is what I found in the writings of a pious person.

The supplication on the first day of the month of Safar is:

“In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful.

And peace be upon Sayyidina Muhammad and his family and companions.

I seek refuge with Allah from the evil of this age and its inhabitants and I seek refuge with Your majesty and the majesty of Your face and the perfection of the majesty of Your holiness that You may protect me and my

my parents and my children and my wife and my lovers and all those whom I love from the evil of this year.

Protect me from the evil that You have destined for this year.

and keep away from me the evil of the month of Safar, O Gracious Lord.

Make for me the end of this month and year with safety, health, and happiness for me and my parents and my children and my wife and all those I love and all Muslims.

Wa sallallahu ta’ala ‘alaa Sayyidina Muhammadin wa ‘alaa aalihi wa shahbihi wa sallam.”

I have also found in the writings of a pious person that whoever recites this du’aa’ every day of the month of Safar, Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, will protect him that year from all harm and calamity until the next month of Safar, and he will not be afflicted with any calamity that year, which is this du’aa’:

“In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful. O Allah, bestow peace, blessings and peace upon Sayyidina Muhammad Your servant, Your prophet and messenger, the Ummy prophet and his family.

O Allah, I seek refuge with You from the evil of this month and from every difficulty, trial and calamity that You have ordained in it, O Creator of life, O Ruler of the world and the Hereafter, O Lord who knows all the events that have happened and are happening and the Lord who when He wills something only says to it: “Let there be”, then there is.

O my Lord of the Eternal, O Lord of the Eternal, O Lord who created from the beginning, O Lord who restores to life. O Lord of Majesty and Glory, O Lord of the Most Glorious Throne. You do whatever You will.

O Allah, guard with Your supervision, myself, my wife, my wealth, my children, my religion and my world which You test me by accompanying it for the honor of the righteous and the good, with Your mercy, O Lord of Might, O Lord of Mercy, O Lord of Graciousness, O Lord of the covering of evil, with Your mercy, O Lord of Merciful among the merciful.

O Allah, O Lord of the Strongest, O Lord of the Harshest punishment, O Lord of the Mighty, submit to Your might all Your creatures, protect me from all Your creatures.

O God who always does good, O God who makes good, O God who gives bounty, O God who gives pleasure, O God who honors, O God who is no God but You, with Your mercy, O God who is the most merciful of the merciful.

Wa sallallahu ‘alaa Sayyidina Muhammadi wa ‘alaa aalihi wa shahbihi wa sallam ajma’in.”

Al-Allamah As-Shaikh Ad-Dairobi said in his book Mujarrobat:

Benefit: A wise man of insight and tamkin said: 320,000 calamities descend every year. All of them occur on the last Wednesday of the month of Safar. So that day is the most difficult day of the year.

So whoever prays four rak’ahs on that day and recites in each of them after al-Fatihah surah al-Kautsar 17 times and al-Ikhlas 5 times and al-Mw’awwidzatain once and recites this supplication after the salutations, then Allah Ta’ala protects him with His mercy from all the calamities that descend on that day and not one of them occurs until the year ends.

It was mentioned by Ash-Shaykh Shukur Kanji gaddasallahu sirrahu

regarding the wirids of Khawaja Mughniddin as mentioned in Al-Jawaahir al-khamsu and mentioned by Ash-Shaykh Al-Buni in Al-Firdaus: 

Allah Almighty sends down calamities on the last Wednesday of the month of Safar between heaven and earth, and the angel in charge of that receives them and hands them over to Quthbul ghauts, who distributes them among the worlds. So every death or disaster or distress that occurs is from the disaster that is distributed. Whoever wants to be saved from this calamity should pray six rak’ahs. He recites in the first rak’ah AlFatihah and Ayatul Kursi, in the second rak’ah Al-Fatihah and surah AlIkhlas in each rak’ah. Then he recites the salawat for the Prophet with any salawat, then recites this supplication:

“O Allah, I ask You by Your best names and Your perfect words and by the honor of Your prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) that You protect me and save me from Your calamities.

O Lord who repels all calamities, O Lord who removes distress, O Lord who removes sorrow. Take away from me any distress or sorrow that is decreed upon me in this year. Verily, You are all-powerful over all things.

Wa sallallahu “alaa Sayyidina Muhammadin wa “alaa aalihi wa shahbihi wa sallam tasliman.”

A pious man said: the end of Wednesday in the month of Safar is an ongoing unlucky day. So it is recommended to recite surah Yaasin on that day. When he reaches the words of Allah Ta’ala:. he repeats them 313 times. Then he prays

“O Allah, bless Sayyidina Muhammad with the blessing that saves us from all dangers and disturbances and fulfills our desires, purifies us from all sins, elevates us to the highest degree, conveys us to the farthest goal of all good in life and after death.”

Then he said:

“O Allah, remove from us the evil of all that descends from the heavens and comes forth from the earth, for indeed You are All-Powerful over all things.

Wa sallallahu ‘alaa Sayyidina Muhammadin wa ‘alaa aalihi wa shahbihi wa sallam.”

Then he supplicated for the needs of this world and the next, and asked Allah for health and safety.

Benefit: One of the effective practices to ward off calamities and protect oneself from them is to write verses and erase them, then drink the water.

It is mentioned in Natil bidaayat: It is narrated that whoever prays the previous four rak’ahs and supplicates the previous supplication, i.e.: and so on, then writes these verses and washes them in water and drinks from them, he is safe from the calamity that descends during the day until the end of the year.

The verses are:

I said: This is the narration that our shaykh used to follow and it is the best, because its benefits are general for children, women and slaves.

Warning and notice to reject many delusions:

Know that Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim narrated in their two Sahih books from Abi Hurairah that the Prophet said:

“There is no contagion and one should not believe in bad omens, should not believe in owls and should not believe in the misfortune of the month of Safar.”

So a villager said: Why is the camel in the sand as if it were a jackal? Then it mixes with a camel that has scurvy, causing it to get scurvy?

So the Messenger of Allah replied: “Who infected the first camel?” I said: Wa billahi at-taufiq. This hadith has been narrated in various reports.

In Al-Masyarig by Ash-Shaaghani with a reference to Bukhari from Abi Hurayrah: “And the best is a good sign.”

And quoting al-Bukhari and Muslim from Jabir:

“There is no contagion, no believing in bad omens, no believing in the bad luck of owls, no believing in the bad luck of the month of Safar and no believing in ghosts.”

In the book Al-Aatsar by Ath-Ihahawi it is narrated from the Prophet that he said:

“Flying birds to seek guidance and believing in bad omens, and throwing stones to seek unseen guidance is shirk.”

This hadith was mentioned by As-Suyuthi with a citation to Abu Dawud.

The scholars said in interpreting these words succinctly:

“No contagion” means that the disease does not spread from the sufferer to others.

This is a refutation of the ignorant belief about some diseases, such as scabies, that they are contagious by nature without attributing it to Allah.

So the Prophet nullified their belief by saying: “There is no contagion” when the villager asked about a healthy camel mixing with a camel with scabies and thus getting scabies. Then the Prophet said: “Who infected the first camel.”

This means that the first camel did not get scabies because of contagion, but because of the decree of Allah Ta’ala and His destiny. The same applies to the second camel and so on.

Hadiths have been narrated, some of which have confused many people to the extent that some of them think that they negate the Prophet’s statement: “There is no contagion.”

It is narrated in Sahih Bukhari and Muslim from Abi Hurairah that the Prophet said:

Do not mix sick camels with healthy camels.” (Hadith narrated by Bukhari).

And the Prophet said:

“Flee from a leper as you would from a lion.” (Hadith narrated by Bukhari).

And the Prophet said:

“If you hear of an outbreak of pestilence in a country, then do not enter it.” (Hadith narrated by Bukhari).

The inclusion of nasakh (nullification) in these traditions is meaningless, because the Prophet’s words: “There is no contagion” is a khabar. So it is impossible for him to cancel the prohibition in these three traditions and others like them,

The correct view, which is followed by the majority of scholars, is: There is no nullification in this regard, and the meaning of “no contagion” refutes the belief of the ignorant that these diseases are contagious by nature, without believing in the predestination of Allah.

This is shown by the Prophet’s words: “Who infected the first camel?”

With regard to the Prophet’s prohibition of mixing sick camels with healthy camels, and telling people to flee from lepers, and his prohibition of entering a land where there is pestilence, this is to avoid causes that could lead to disaster if a person is healthy beforehand.

So just as it is forbidden for a person to throw himself into water or fire or go under a collapsing building and the like, which usually lead to destruction, so is approaching lepers and going into a land where there is pestilence.

These are the causes of sickness and destruction, and Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, is the author of these causes and their effects, and there is none but Allah who creates and decrees.

It has been narrated by Abu Dawud that the Prophet passed by a sloping wall, so he walked quickly and said: “I fear sudden death.”

If you say: It was narrated by Jabir that the Prophet ate with a leper and said: “In the name of Allah, trust and tawakkal to Allah,” what is the reason?

The answer: The Prophet’s condition was stronger than that of the ummah. So there is no fear of him being infected with a contagious disease as there is fear of others.

With regard to what is denied about contagion by nature, and the command to flee from it, this is because Allah, may He be exalted, has made it customary for contagion to occur when mixing with others, or so that the person who is mixing with the leper will not be so unlucky that he thinks that it is contagious.

Or so that the leper will not feel sad when he sees a healthy person, or other than what is mentioned in al-Bukhaari’s sharī’ah.

This conclusion was mentioned by Ash-Shinwani in his commentary on Mukhtasor ibn Abi Jamrah.

As for the word “ath-thiyarah”, it means believing in the bad luck of something:

People in the pre-Islamic era relied on birds. If one of them went out on business and saw a bird flying to his right, he would believe in good luck and go on his way.

If he saw it flying to his left, he believed in bad luck and turned back.

Perhaps some of them would yell at the bird to make it fly and rely on it for guidance.

So the Prophet forbade that action and canceled it and said: “The best thiyarah is believing in good fortune with good words.”

For example, a person who is about to travel, and hears: Ya Salam, ya Salam, ya Salamah or a sick person hears: Ya Salim, ya Shaafi, ya Mu’afi.

For this reason it is mentioned in the khabar that the Prophet did not believe in bad luck, but believed in good luck. When going out for some purpose the Prophet liked to hear the words: Ya Raashid.

There were some intelligent ignorant people who denied the belief in the bad luck of birds and sought praise by abandoning it.

A poet of theirs said:

Not the birds that fly fast bring good fortune to man and not those that fly slow bring failure.

Another poet said:

By your life are not the stone-throwers (for divination)

Nor do those who yell at birds to fly (to seek guidance) know what Allah is doing

Most of them used birds and relied on them to seek guidance and generally succeeded because the shaytaan perfected the act in them. Remnants of that custom still exist in many Muslims.

It was narrated by Ibn Adiy on the authority of Abi Hurairyy:

“When you feel “thiyarah” continue walking and put your trust in Allah.”

Narrated by Thabrani from Abi Darda in marfu’:

“He will not attain a high rank who practices fortune-telling or returns from a journey relying on thiyarah.”

Benefit: Narrated by Al-Baihagi in Shu’abul iman from the hadith of ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar in mauquf: “Whoever experiences a little of this thiyarah, let him say:

“O Allah, there is no bad omen except the bad omen that You have ordained and there is no good except the good that You have given and there is no God but You.”

In the Maraasiil Abu Dawud it is mentioned that the Prophet said:: “There is no servant except that his heart is filled with thiyarah (belief in bad omens). So when he feels that, let him say:

“I am the servant of Allah. What Allah wills, there is no power except with the help of Allah. No one brings about good except Allah and no one removes sins except Allah. I testify that Allah is in control of all things.” Then he continued walking.

From these two traditions and others it is concluded that whoever feels thiyarah should supplicate and say:

“I am the servant of Allah, what Allah wills (happens), there is no power except with the help of Allah. O Allah, there is no bad omen except the bad omen that You have ordained. There is no good except the good that You give and there is no Lord but You.

O Allah, no one brings good things except You and no one erases sins except You.

I testify that You are in control of everything and that there is no power or strength except with the help of Allah, the Most High, the Most Great.”

The word means head according to the original and means night bird. That is what is meant here. Some say:

owl. They consider it an unlucky omen.

When it flies around a person’s house, he says: It foreshadows the death of me or one of my family.

Based on this meaning there should be no jinxing of the owl. Some say: The Arabs used to consider the spirit of a murdered person who had not been avenged to be an owl.

The bird said: Give me a drink, give me a drink. When he was avenged, he flew away.

Some say: They think that the dead person’s bones or spirit becomes an owl and flies away and they call it “ash-shada.”

Based on this meaning: There is no life for the bones of the dead. So the Prophet denied all that.

The Prophet said that the month of Safar was not moved back from its place.

These words refute the Arabs who postponed the month of Muharram to Safar and made Safar a Haram month.

According to the Arabs, Safar is a snake in the stomach that bites a man when he is hungry. The sting he feels when he is hungry is due to his bite. So the Prophet Muhammad refuted that notion.

What is meant is that they consider the month of Safar unlucky, because they think that there are many disasters and trials in that month.

The meaning: Do not consider this month unlucky and bad events will occur in it without any other. Rather it is the same as the other months.

As for the Prophet’s words: “And do not believe in ghosts” is because the Arabs used to regard them as a type of shaitan that appeared to people and misled them from the path and destroyed them. So there is no such thing as a ghost and it cannot mislead anyone from the path.

Addendum: We have mentioned here things that people consider to be unlucky omens or that can bring disaster upon them.

Among them: People in the pre-Islamic era considered marriages in Shawwaal to be unlucky in particular, and Shara’ has annulled this.

Aisha said: The Messenger of Allah married me in Shawwaal, so which of his wives is luckier than me!

And the Prophet married Umm Salamah in the month of Shawwal as well.

Part of this is assuming an unlucky time by considering planets and unlucky days.

So they give up trying to do their business at that time. This is the false assumption of the soothsayers.

It is also considered unlucky to travel when one or two days of the month are missing, or when the moon falls on the planet Scorpion.

This is a forbidden belief, because it is makrooh or forbidden to believe in it, as we will quoted from Ibn Hajar.

This includes: Thinking that Wednesdays are unlucky and so on. These are all prohibited thiyarahs.

Ibn Hajar said in al-Minah after stating that it is recommended to travel on Thursdays and Mondays or Saturdays:

Then their ruling on the prohibition of traveling on these days is clear, because they did not recommend traveling on other days. But that is not because of seeking guidance from the words of psychics or the like, because relying on them is makrooh or haraam.

Ibn Jama’ah said: It is not makrooh to travel on one of the days because the moon is in the planet Scorpion or otherwise. When it was said to ‘Ali: Will you face the Khawarij when the moon is in the planet Scorpion?

Ali replied: Where is their moon?

An astrologer said to him: Go at this time, then you will win:

Ali, replied: Muhammad had no astrologer and neither did those after him.

Ali argued with verses, then said: Whoever believes you in these words, I fear he is like one who worships a god other than Allah.

O Allah, there is no evil omen except that which You ordain and no good except that which You bestow.

We distrusted you and wronged you and set out at a time when you forbade us to set out.

Then Ali, said to the people: Do not learn the science of divination, except to guide you in the darkness of land and sea. Verily the astrologer is like a disbeliever.

Then ‘Ali threatened the fortune teller that if he did not repent, he would be kept in prison and not given any allowance. Then Ali, fought the Khawarij at a time when he was forbidden to fight. He succeeded in defeating them, namely in the second Nahrawan war.

Ibn Rushd quoted that Malik never avoided any day, rather he favored Wednesday and Saturday as a rejection of those who considered them unlucky.

A king wanted to go to war at one time, but the astrologers forbade him. Then a shi’ir was sung for him:

Leave the stars to the soothsayers who live by them and rise up with a firm resolve, O king.

Verily the prophet and the companions of the prophet forbade believing in the stars and you have seen what they are good at.

So the king disobeyed them and won.

Many people consider the last Wednesday unlucky and abandon efforts to do their business on that day.

They say of it: “Wednesdays do not revolve” on the basis of the hadith: “The last Wednesday of the month is a continuous unlucky day.”

As-Sakhawi said: The path of this hadith is bad. Assuming it to be authentic, its meaning is: Continuous bad luck for whoever considers it unlucky or believes in its bad luck specifically and fears it by believing in the opinion of astrologers.

As for the one who believes that no one can benefit or harm except Allah, then no misfortune will befall him.

It is mentioned in a khabar (hadith) that shows praise for Wednesday.

It is mentioned in Shu’abul iman by al-Baihaqi that supplications are answered on Wednesdays after sunset.

In the hadith of Jabir, it is mentioned that the Prophet came to the mosque of AlAhzab on Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday between Zuhr and ‘Asr and put down his shawl.

Then he stood up and raised his hands praying for the defeat of the disbelievers. Then we saw the joy on his face, as stated in the book of siirah (history).

It is narrated from the author of al-Hidayah that no work is begun on Wednesday unless it is completed, and Wednesday is the day on which Allah, may He be exalted, creates light.

It was narrated by Ad-Dailami from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him): “Whoever plants trees on Wednesday and says:   “Whoever plants trees on Wednesday and says: ‘I will plant them on Wednesday,’ then they will bear fruit.”

It was narrated from al-Hulaimi that he said: We know from the explanation of sharee’ah that some days are unlucky and others are lucky. If the former is true, then the latter is also true.

Some days are unlucky and some are lucky. Like humans, some are miserable and some are happy.

However, the notion that days and stars cause bad luck and good fortune by choosing them regarding times or people is false.

The idea that the stars can be the cause of good and bad, good and evil, while all of that is the work of Allah, may He be exalted, is not sinful.

As a result, as al-Munawi said: Avoiding Wednesdays and other days on the basis of thiyarah and following the beliefs of astrologers is strictly forbidden, because these days belong to Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, and they cannot benefit or harm on their own, and without them there is no harm and no harm.

Whoever believes in bad omens is surrounded by bad luck. And whoever believes that no one can cause harm and benefit except Allah, then nothing from it can affect him. As it is said:

Know that there is no bad omen except for the one who is prejudiced, namely destruction.

To summarize, all days are the same, and there is nothing special about Wednesday or any other day. Every day brings good fortune to one person and bad luck to another in consideration of the fact that Allah, the Almighty, brings about pleasant and troublesome events, good and evil on these days.

So each day has the characteristics of two different things. Allah did not insert the night into the day and the day into the night except to bring about events.

Some say: Know that the days are all of the same creation and the nights are all of the same nature.

It is mentioned in the book of Ruhul bayan in interpreting the words of Allah Ta’ala:

“And do they not know that Allah expands provision for whom He wills and limits it” (Sūrat Az-Zumar: 52).

This means that Allah expands the sustenance of whomever He wills, even if that person has no power and strength as a test for him.

And Allah constricts the sustenance of whomever He wills, even if that person is strong and has great power as a test for him.

So there is no one who narrows sustenance and no one who expands it, except Allah Ta’ala.

The proof of that is that we see people differing in their ease of sustenance and narrowness. There must be a wisdom and a reason for that. The reason is not due to human intelligence and ignorance.

We see intelligent people who are able to be very poor and sometimes we see ignorant and weak people who are very well off.

It is also not because of nature and phenomena, for at the time when powerful kings and sultans are born, the human realm and the animal realm are also born and the plant realm is also born at that time.

When we witness the occurrence of these many things at the same time, although they vary in happiness and misery, then we know that the culprit is Allah Ta’ala. With this convincing logical proof, the words of Allah are true:

“Allah expands provision for whom He wills and constricts provision (for whom He wills).

The poet said:

It is not that good fortune is decreed by the star Jupiter and it is not that misfortune is imposed upon us by the star Saturn but it is the decree of God the creator of the heavens and the judge of judges, the Most High and the Most Great.

Another poet said:

Do not rely on the stars in what you are trying to do, it is Allah who does it, not the stars of Capricorn or Aries in happiness, not the stars that influence and do not harm you, Mars or Saturn.

Al-Allamah Ash-Shaikh Manshur At-Tamimi Ash-Shafi’i said:

Whoever fears the star Zuhal or hopes for Musytari then I dissociate myself from him, even if he is my closest father.

He also said:

If you consider the stars to be harmful and beneficial to those who are under them, then do not deny those who say that you have associated them with Allah.

He also said:

Stars have no way of causing harm or benefiting, but they are guides to time and paths.

Al-Hafni said: A man who adheres to monotheism met a necromancer.

The astrologer said: How are you this morning?

The man of monotheism replied: I fear Allah and hope in Him, whereas you hope in the stars Zuhal (Saturn) and Musytari (Jupiter) and fear them.

Thus, I have spoken at such length that I have almost gone beyond the point. But there is nothing wrong with length, because my hope is that this collection of writings will be accepted and praised and will not be empty, in sha Allah, of benefit and good results.

So you must remove from yourself any prejudice and strengthen your resolve, and go about your business without confusion, especially in the month of Safar, the month of goodness and success.

Pray for me to be on the right path, for you will not find this orderly collection of discussions in a book.

May Allah Ta’ala guide us to earn His pleasure and keep away from us calamities and their causes. Aameen.

THE DEEDS THAT ARE REQUIRED IN THE MONTH OF RABI’UL AWWAL

You should know that in this month we are asked to do a lot of praying and fasting as a form of gratitude for the birth of our Prophet Sayyidina Muhammad and may Allah give him glory in His sight.

Because of the great month, there is an overall good and auspiciousness that the birth of our noble Prophet has brought to this world.

This month commemorates the birth of the leader of all creatures and the most exalted of the inhabitants of the earth and the heavens, our beloved and our intercessor with our Lord, Sayyidina and Maulana Muhammad – may Allah shower peace and blessings upon him and his family and companions and all those who are related to him -.

People who adhere to monotheism gather to listen to the story of the birth of the noble Prophet and derive his blessings and high virtues, reciting salutations and greetings for the owner of great morals.

The Muslims always celebrate the Prophet’s birthday and hold a wedding banquet and spend a lot of money on its nights in various kinds of charity, and they rejoice in it and add good deeds to it.

They pay attention to the glorious story of his birthday and it appears to them from its blessings that every good deed is plentiful.

The first to organize a celebration of the Prophet’s birthday was King Al-Mudhaffar Abu Said, ruler of Irbil. . He did so in the month of Rabi’ul Awwal and celebrated it in a big way.

Al-Mudhaffar was a just king and a brave hero. Al-Hafidh ibnu Dihyah composed a book for him which he named: Attanwir fi maulid as-siraajil munirr. 

So the king Al-Mudhaffar rewarded him with one thousand dinars.

This was the first book written on the story of the birth of the Prophet & the noble one. After that many followed him by writing essays on the Prophet’s birthday. Some were long and some were short, in the form of stories or poems.

People used to recite them on the eve of the Prophet’s birthday accompanied by glorification and solawat and salutations on the beloved leader of the world and the hereafter.

People sing qasidahs in praise of the Prophet & in mosques and jami’ mosques.

They increase this practice because they are eager to get the blessings. So they recite it in homes on any day of the month of Rabi’ul awwal, even on any day of the year.

They seek the blessings of this venerated festival out of love for the Prophet and hope for his intercession – may Allah honor and glorify him always -.

Then, in fact, the practice of Maulid and the gathering of people to celebrate it is recommended. The ruling is bid’ah hasanah.

Al-Imam Abu Shamah, the teacher of Al-Imam An-Nawawi, said: One of the best innovations of our time is the practice that is practiced every year on the day of the Prophet’s birth, which is giving sodagoh and doing good deeds, and showing honor and joy.

All these actions, in addition to doing good to the poor, show the love of the Prophet and his reverence in the hearts of the doers, and gratitude to Allah for His bounty with the birth of the Messenger of Allah, whom He sent as a mercy to all the worlds.

Ibnul Jauzi said: Part of its efficacy is that it brings about security in the year and immediate good news by achieving desires and goals.

Al-Hafidh ibn Hajar has ruled on the practice of Maulid based on strong evidence from the Sunnah, which is narrated in Sahihain:

The Messenger of Allah came to Madinah and found the Jews fasting on the day of ‘Ashura’.

So he questioned them.

They replied: It is the day on which Allah drowned Fir’aun and saved Musa, so we fast on that day in gratitude.

Then the Prophet said: “We honor Moses more than you.” Hadith narrated by Bukhari.

Ibnul Jauzi said: So, the conclusion of the practice is that it expresses gratitude for the blessings given by Allah on a certain day. And what greater favor could there be than the birth of the Prophet of mercy, Muhammad?

Expressing gratitude can be done with a variety of acts of worship: prayer, fasting, sodagoh and recitation of the Qur’an, not with prohibited actions. Wallahu Subhanahu wa Ta’ala a’lam.

We are mentioning this in order to gain blessings, but I am not aware of any specific supplication for it. But I want this collection of writings not to be empty of it.

DEEDS REQUESTED IN THE MONTH OF RAJAB

It should be noted that Rajab is a noble month, and acts of worship in this month are highly rewarded, especially fasting, seeking forgiveness and repenting of sins. The prayer on the first night is mustajab, so it is recommended.

The Prophet said: 

“There are five nights during which supplication is not rejected: the first night of Rajab, the night of Nisfu Sha’ban, the night of Friday, the night of Eid al-Fitr and the night of Eid al-Adha.” Ash-Suyuthi narrated it in al-Jaami’ ash-shaghir from ibn Asakir from Abi Umamah . On the 27th night of Rajab, the Prophet underwent Isra, as is well known, Rajab is a month that stands alone among the Haram months.

Allah says:

“Verily the number of months according to Allah is twelve (as) in the decree of Allah when He created the heavens and the earth, among which are four unlawful months” (Sūrat At-Taubah: 36).

The four unlawful months are Zulqadah, Zulhijjah, Muharram and Rajab. Three of them are consecutive and one stands alone, Rajab.

In the early days of Islam, it was forbidden to fight during the haraam months, but this was abrogated when Allah said:

“So fight the polytheists wherever you find them.” (OS. At-Taubah: 5).

There remains the sanctity of multiplying the reward for obedience and magnifying the sin for disobedience. May Allah Ta’ala protect us from it. Rajab is the month of Allah in which He pours mercy on those who repent and bestows the light of acceptance of deeds upon the entire world.

They named it “Al-Asham (The deaf)” because in that month no sound of war is heard. It is also named: “Stoning,” which means that in this month the enemies and shaytans are stoned so that they do not disturb the auliya and the righteous.

The Prophet said:

“Rajab is the month of Allah, Sha’ban my month and Ramadan the month of my people.”

It is mentioned in al-Jaami’ ash-shaghir by As-Suyuthi, Hadith number 4411, from al-Fath ibn Abi Fawaris in his Amaali from al-Hasan by mursal: dlo’if tradition.

The scholars said: Rajab is the month of istigfar (seeking forgiveness), Sha’ban is the month of invocation of peace upon the Prophet and Ramadan is the month of recitation of the Qur’an.

So do your best in Rajab – may Allah have mercy on you – because Rajab is the season of trade.

Fill your time in that month, for it is a time for much worship.

So whoever is a merchant, then these seasons have entered. And whoever is sick with many sins, these cures have been provided.

Wahab bin Munabbih said: I read in the revealed books of Allah that whoever seeks forgiveness in the month of Rajab in the morning and evening while raising his hands and saying si (O Allah, forgive me, have mercy on me and accept my repentance) seventy times, then his skin is not touched by the fire of hell.

I have summarized all this from the book Tuhfatul ikhwan fi qira’atil mii’aad fi Rajab wd Sha’ban wa Ramadan by Al-Allamah Al-Fashani st.

Sayyidi Al-Outhb Ash-Shaikh Abdul Oadir Al-Jailani mentions in his book Al-Ghunyah that it is requested of a Muslim to pray at the beginning of the night of Rajab with this supplication:

“O my Lord, the people of this night are hoping and heading towards You, and expecting Your blessings and goodness. You grant on this night the bounties and gifts and grants that You give to whom You will of Your servants, and You withhold from him whom You did not give attention to before this.

Here I am Your servant in need of You, hoping for Your blessings and kindness. If you, O my Lord, this night bounty on one of your creatures and benefit him from your mercy, then send blessings on Sayyidina Muhammad and his family and companions and his companions.

Muhammad and his family and companions and grant me Your bounty and favor, O Lord of the worlds.”

It was Ali who devoted himself to worship on four nights of the year, viz: The beginning of the night of Rajab, the night of Eid al-Fitr, the night of Adha and the night of the nisfu of Sha’ban.

Among his prayers are:

“O Allah, bless Muhammad and his family the lamp of wisdom, the giver of favors and the source of purity.

Protect me with their cause from every calamity and do not punish me in a state of carelessness or in a state of negligence.

Do not make the consequences of my actions sadness and regret and be pleased with me.

Verily Your forgiveness is for the wrongdoers and I am one of the wrongdoers.

O Allah, forgive me my sins that have not harmed You and grant me that which has not benefited You.

Verily Your mercy is wide, Your wisdom is beautiful, so grant me spaciousness and tranquility, security and health, gratitude, safety and piety.

Bestow patience and righteousness upon me and Your saints, grant me ease and do not give hardship with it and grant all that to my family, my son and my brothers in Your religion and my parents from the Muslims and the Muslims and the believers and the believers.”

Do not forget to recite the Sayyidul istighfar supplication narrated from the Prophet, which is:

“O Allah, You are my Lord, there is no God but You, You created me and I am Your servant, and I am in Your guarantee and promise You according to my ability. I seek refuge with You from the evil of my deeds and acknowledge Your favors upon me and confess my sins, so forgive me. Verily, no one forgives sins except You.”

This prayer is recited three times in the morning and three times in the evening.

It is one of the benefits mentioned by Ash-Shaikh ‘Ali al-Ajhuri in Khulasotul Atsar: that whoever recites it at the end of Friday of the month of Rajab while the khatib is on the pulpit: Ahmad Rasulullah, Muhammad Rasulullah (35 times) no dirham (sustenance) will be cut off from him in that year.

Warning: Keep in mind what we mentioned that the Raghaib prayer (i.e. the 12 rak’ahs prayed between Maghrib and Isha at the beginning of the night of Rajab) is a blameworthy innovation.

So do not do it. Instead, pray Al-Awwaabiin or tasbih or the absolute sunnah, individually without a specific number.

DEEDS REQUESTED IN THE GLORIFIED MONTH OF SHA’BAN

It is known that Sha’ban is a glorified month and it is a month known for its blessings and many good deeds. Repentance in Sha’ban is one of the greatest fortunes and obedience in it is a fortunate trade.

Allah Ta’ala made it a period of self-training and guaranteed security in that month for those who repent.

Whoever accustoms himself to jurisprudence in that month, he will be fortunate in Ramadan with good habits.

Sha’ban is the month of the Prophet as we mentioned in the previous hadith with his words: “Sha’ban is my month.” In that month the moon was split as a miracle of the Prophet.

Sha’ban is the month of invocation to the Prophet as mentioned in Tuhfatul ikhwan. So make dua for the Prophet at all times, especially in the month of Sha’ban.

On the night of the nisfu the deaths of people are distributed, it is decided at that time which ones are near and far.

It is mentioned in Tuhatul ikhwan:

It was narrated from Atha ibn Yasar , who said: On the night of the nisfu Sha’ban the angel of death records every person who died from the month of Sha’ban to the next month of Sha’ban.

There are people who do wrongs and misdeeds and marry women and plant trees, while their names have been changed in the list of the living to the dead.

No night after the night of Qadr is more excellent than the night of the nisfu Sha’ban.

Then, know that the decree of Allah Ta’ala cannot be changed or altered after revealing it to the angels. This is not the case before revealing it to the angels while it is still in the Almighty. Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, removes from it what He wills and establishes what He wills.

It has been narrated in the ahad traditions that Allah, the Almighty, decides on that blessed night every death and deed and sustenance until the next Sha’ban.

In many reports only the death is mentioned.

The wisdom of making this night special by recording it is the encouragement to do good and the warning not to sin, so that the believer likes to do good before the coming of Sha’ban and fears sin and strives to do acts of obedience. May Allah, may He be exalted, make him happy on that night.

The same applies to him after that night, fearing that he will be included in the list of those who died that year, so that he will be ready to meet Allah. This is the state of those who are guided.

It is mentioned in Tuhfatul ikhwan: The Messenger of Allah said:

“Verily, Allah forgives all Muslims on that night, except the sorcerer or the magician or the hostile person or the alcoholic or the one who disobeys his parents.”

After mentioning such traditions the author of Tuhfatul ikhwan said: It has been gathered from these narrations that those who are deprived of forgiveness and mercy are polytheists, hostile people, unjust tax collectors, murderers, breakers of family ties, those who stretch out their sarongs arrogantly when walking, adulterers, alcoholics, namimah offenders, makers of statues or paintings, those who disobey their parents, cheaters in trade, innovators and Rafidis who have hatred for the Companions in their hearts.

So whoever has the characteristics of these sins, he also fails to get forgiveness on the night of the nisfu Sha’ban, unless he is free from his sins and repents to his Lord, purifies his repentance and washes his sins with water of regret.

At that time Allah guides him on the straightest path and includes him among the best of friends in Paradise. “Whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger ……. ” (An-Nisa: 69)

He said: One of the customs of Allah, may He be exalted, on this night is to increase the water of Zamzam by an apparent increase.

It is recommended to live this night. It was narrated by AlAshfahani in At-Targhib from Mw’adz bin Jabal, who said: The Messenger of Allah said:

“Whoever observes five nights, Paradise is obligatory for him: the night of Tarwiyah, the night of ‘Arafah, the night of Eid al-Adha, the night of al-Fitr and the night of the nisfu of Sha’ban.”

One of the scholars said: The virtue of the month of Rajab in the first ten days is due to the virtue of the first night of it. The virtue of Sha’baan in the middle ten days is because of the night of nisfu in it. And the virtue of Ramadan in the last ten nights is due to Lailatul Qadr.

Then, indeed, the night of nisfu has many names and many names indicate the glory of the owner of the name.

Al-Fashani mentioned most of them in At-Tuhfah and mentioned the wisdom of naming it by each of these names and following them up with traditions or reports and the like.

Among the names he mentions are: Al-Lailatul mubarokah (the blessed night), lailatul baro’ah (the night of freedom from sin), lailatul gasmah wal qadar (the night of division and destiny) and lailatul ijabah (the night of answered prayers).

He said: It was narrated from ibnu Umar , he said: Five nights in which supplications are not rejected: Friday night, the first night of Rajab, the night of Nisfu Sha’ban, the night of Qadr and the night of Eid al-Fitr and the night of Eid al-Adha.

This narration is corroborated by the hadith narrated by As-Suyuthi mentioned earlier regarding the deeds that are requested in the month of Rajab. It is recommended to pray on that night, asking for important matters in this world and the Hereafter.

Al-Allamah As-Sayyid Al-Wina’iy said regarding the deeds related to the night of the nisfu of Sha’ban and others such as Ramadan: The most important supplication to be recited on this night is:

“O Allah, surely You are the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful, and love forgiveness, so forgive me. O Allah, I ask You for forgiveness and eternal salvation and deliverance in religion, this world and the Hereafter.”

This supplication is recited on the night of Qadr, while this is the most excellent night after it.

I say: There is a well-known supplication that has been narrated and is appropriate to the circumstances, specifically concerning the night of the fifteenth of Sha’baan. The Muslims recite it on this blessed night alone or in groups in their mosques and other places.

Either one of them recites the du’aa’ and the audience imitates him or he recites the du’aa’ and they agree as is known.

The method: You recite before the supplication surah Yaasin (three times). The first with the intention of a long life, the second with the intention of warding off calamities and the third with the intention of being provided for without needing the help of others.

After reciting surah Yaasin once, one should recite the supplication once.

Here is this blessed supplication:

“In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful. May Allah shower peace and blessings upon Sayyidina Muhammad and his family and companions.

O Lord who gives gifts and does not accept gifts. O God of majesty and glory, O God of power and pleasure.

There is no God but You, the helper of those who seek refuge, the protector of those who seek refuge and the safety of those who fear.

O Allah, if You write me by Your side in the Book of the Unseen (Al-Lauhil mahfudh) miserable or poor or expelled or constricted in my sustenance, then erase, O Allah, by Your bounty, my misery, poverty, expulsion and constriction in my sustenance and establish me by Your side in the Book of the Unseen, happy, sustained and guided to do many good deeds.

Verily, You have said and Your words are true in Your Book which was revealed through the mouth of Your sent Prophet: “Allah erases and establishes what He wills. And with Him is the Ummil kitab (Al-Lauhil mahfudh).” (Ar-Ra’ad: 39).

O my Lord, by the glorious apparition of the glorified night of the nisfu Sha’ban, in which all affairs are explained with wisdom and decided, I ask You to remove from us the calamities that we know and those that we do not know, and which You know better. Indeed, You are the Most Noble, the Most Gracious.

Wa sallallahu ta’ala ‘alaa Sayyidina Muhammadin wa ‘alaa aalihi wa shahbihi wa sallam.”

Al-Allamah Ash-Sharji mentioned this supplication in his Fawaaid and he made it into two supplications.

The night of the nisfu of Sha’ban according to the sum of its letters is 2375. So reciting this supplication on this night with this number is a protection in that year from calamities and trials.

I say: How can it not cause security, because it has been narrated by ibn Abbas that the Prophet said: “The supplication of my brother Yunus is miraculous. The first is tahlil, the middle is tasbih and the end is confession, namely:     (There is no God but You, Glory to You, I am indeed one of the wrongdoers).

No one who is in distress, no one who is sad, no one who is afflicted by calamity, no one who is in debt prays to him three times a day, but his prayer will be answered.”

This can also be found in other traditions collected in Khazinatul asraar and others.

Another benefit: Ash-Sharji said in his Fawaaid: Whoever recites the beginning of Sūrat Ad-Dukhan up to the words: on the first night of Sha’ban fifteen times until the fifteenth night and recites it thirty times, then mentions the name of Allah Ta’ala and recites Salah for the Prophet, then prays with what he likes, then his prayer will be answered immediately, insha Allah Ta’ala.

Reminder: Observing the night of nisfu and praying the prayers mentioned in the traditions is done on most nights. Some say: A short while.

Narrated ibn Abbas: It can be done by praying the ‘Isha prayer in congregation and wanting to pray the Fajr prayer in congregation, as they say about the nights of the two feasts.

As for what some people do by praying 100 rak’ahs on this night, that is an innovation.

What is preferable for people is to pray the prayer of tasbeeh that the Prophet taught his uncle al-Abbas and his other relatives. The method can be found in the books of fiqh. Wa billahi attaufiq.

PRACTICES REQUESTED IN THE BLESSED MONTH OF RAMADAN

Know, may Allah help us to obey Him, that Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, ordains times and divides seasons, and immerses the mind and intellect in the ocean of His knowledge and confuses ideas about the nature of His Essence.

So no one can attain knowledge of His Shamadiyyah (attribute of Ash-Shamad).

Allah specializes the month of Ramadan with forgiveness and pardon, good news, pleasure, joy and acceptance of deeds in addition to promising that the one who fasts in that month will achieve his goals and hopes.

So Ramadan is a great month, its virtues and benefits are many and its blessings are great.

Allah, may He be exalted, has given the fasting person two joys during this month: the joy of breaking the fast and the joy of meeting his Lord. And Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, said regarding its virtues (in a Qudsi Hadith):

“Every deed of the son of Adam is for him except fasting. Indeed, it is for Me and I am the one who rewards it.” (Hadith narrated by Bukhari).

In Ramadan the gates of Paradise are opened and the gates of Hell are closed, and the devil is bound.

On that night the Great King shows His mercy, prayers are answered and wishes are achieved. Allah Ta’ala makes fasting obligatory upon Muslims and promises those who fast will achieve their goals.

Allah Ta’ala grants them bounties and favors and specializes them with deliverance from hellfire, making it a cause of bodily health, cleansing the heart and tongue from sin and disobedience.

Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, grants concessions in fasting to those who are sick or unable to fast, saying: “So whoever among you is sick or traveling (and does not fast), he must make up on other days the number of days (for which he did not fast).” (al-Baqarah: 184).

Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, grants His forgiveness and pardon to the one who performs much worship in it, and retains for him many of His bounties and favors.

Worship in Ramadan is rewarded with multiple rewards, and the deeds performed in that month have many virtues.

It is recommended to worship in this month by praying and reciting the Qur’an and studying it continuously, spending a lot on charity, providing for one’s family, doing good to one’s relatives and neighbors and following the leader of the ummah, Muhammad.

The month of Ramadan has come, bringing security and liberation and the good fortune of living in Paradise, a glorious month in which the opportunity to achieve goals ig is a month that surpasses all times, fortunate is the one who fasts in that month and fears his Lord in deed and speech, how delicious is the one who prays at night while his tears fall on his cheeks like beads, that is the one whom his Lord has devoted to eternal Paradise and beautiful angels.

Allah, the Almighty, revealed the Qur’an in Ramadan and told us that those who recite it will be rewarded with Paradise and great goodness:

“The month of Ramadan is the month in which the Qur’an is revealed as a guidance for mankind and an explanation of that guidance and a distinction between the true and the false.” (QS. Al-Baqarah: 185).

Ramadan is the month of Lailatul-Qadr, which is better than a thousand months.

Many traditions have been narrated about its virtues. Among them is the saying of the Prophet:

“On the first night of Ramadan, all the gates of Paradise are opened. Then not a single door is closed from it in the whole month.

And the gates of Hell will be closed, so that not a single door will be opened from it.

Allah Ta’ala sends an angel to call out: O seeker of good, come, O one who wants to sin, retreat.

Then Allah said: Does anyone ask for forgiveness so that his sins may be forgiven. Does anyone ask for something so that his request is fulfilled. Does anyone repent so that his repentance will be accepted.

Allah continues to say this until Fajr time arrives,

In every night when the bei opens, Allah frees one million people from hell who would otherwise be tormented.”

It was narrated from Salman Al Farisi , he said: The Messenger of Allah spoke to us on the last day of Sha’ban. He said: “O people, you have been shaded by a month that is

month, a month full of blessings, in which there is the night of Qadr which is better than a thousand months.

Allah has made its fasts obligatory and its night prayers Sunnah, and whoever approaches it with good deeds is like one who fulfills his obligations in other months. And whoever fulfills the obligations of that month is like fulfilling the obligations of 70 other months.”

Ramadan is the month of patience and the reward for patience is Paradise. Ramadan is the month of help and the month in which the believer’s sustenance is increased.

Whoever feeds a fast-breaker is like freeing a slave and having his sins forgiven.”

We said: O Rasulallah, not every one of us has food to feed those who break the fast.

The Prophet replied: “Allah gives this reward to the one who gives the fasting person milk mixed with water or a sip of water or a date.

Whoever feeds a fasting person, Allah forgives his sins and gives him a drink from my pool so that he will not thirst forever.

And he will be rewarded with the same reward as the one to whom he gave food and drink, without diminishing his reward in the least.

Ramadan is the month of mercy in the beginning, forgiveness in the middle and deliverance from Hell in the end.

Whoever lightens the burden of his slave during this month, Allah will free him from Hellfire.

So multiply four deeds in that month: two deeds with which you make your Lord pleased and two deeds you should not abandon.

As for the two deeds with which you make your Lord pleased, recite the creed that there is no God but Allah and you ask His forgiveness,

As for the two deeds that you should not abandon, they are: you ask your Lord for Paradise and you ask Him for protection from the Fire.”

Among other things, the Prophet said: “My Ummah was given five privileges in Ramadan that were not given to the Ummah before them: the smell of the mouth of the fasting person is more fragrant in the sight of Allah than the smell of misik (musk), the angels ask forgiveness for them until they break their fast, the evil spirits are bound and Allah adorns Paradise every day and says: My righteous servants are almost prevented from calamities and disturbances and are forgiven on the last night from them.”

Someone said: O Rasulallah, is it the night of Qadr?

The Prophet replied: “No. But the one who does good deeds is rewarded when he has completed his deeds.”

Hadith narrated by al-Haitsami in Majmu’ az-Zawaaid from Abi Hurayrah with the following words.

Among them: Abi Hurayrah narrated that he said: The Messenger of Allah gave good news to his companions.

He said: “The month of Ramadan has come, the month in which Allah has made fasting obligatory upon you and the gates of the heavens are opened in that month, the gates of Hell are closed, the devils are bound and therein is a night better than a thousand months.”

“There are eight gates in Paradise: the one called Rayyan, no one enters it except those who fast.” (Hadith narrated by Bukhari).

Among the sayings of the Prophet:

“Fasting and the Qur’an intercede for the servant on the Day of Resurrection. Fasting says: Wahat my Lord, I have prevented him from food and desire during the day, so accept my intercession for him. The Qur’an says: O my Lord, I prevented him from sleeping at night, so accept my intercession for him. Then their intercession is accepted for the servant.” (Hadith narrated by Ahmad).

There are other traditions mentioned in Tuhfatul ikhwan and Ar-Raudhul faaiq.

Ahmad narrated in his Musnad from Abi Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him).

“Whoever fasts the month of Ramadan with faith and expectation of reward, his previous and future sins will be forgiven.”

With this wording, the Hadīth is narrated in al-Jaami’ ash-shaghir, but it is not attributed to al-Khathib in his Tarikh from ibn ‘Abbas.

It was narrated by Imam Ahmad in his Musnad from Abi Hurairah , who said: The Messenger of Allah ordered us to perform the night prayer in Ramadan without obliging us to do so. He said:

“Whoever performs the night prayer in Ramadan with faith and expectation of reward, his previous and future sins will be forgiven.”

This Hadīth was narrated by several people with this addition, attributing it to Imam Ahmad.

It is mentioned in Shifa’ul asqaam: All that I have seen of him is that he said: “his previous sins are forgiven.”

It is possible that this addition is found in other texts.

This addition, i.e. “and the later ones” has been confirmed by al-Hafidh ibn Hajar in Fathul baariy when commenting on Bukhari’s hadith:

“Whoever performs the night prayer in Ramadan with faith and expectation of reward, his previous sins will be forgiven,” in his words: Qutaibah added from Sufyan: “and the later ones.”

He also mentioned it regarding deeds that expiate sins. Similarly, Hamid ibn Yahya and al-Husayn ibn Hasan al-Marwazi added it in their books on fasting, and other than those mentioned in Shifa’ul asgaam.

I have mentioned all this in my syarah mandhumat on the practices that expiate previous and later sins.

What is meant by al-qiyam (prayer) in this noble hadith is absolute prayer.

Many people say: What is meant by qiyam Ramadan is the Tarawih prayer.

It means that the goal can be achieved with it, not just that it can be achieved with it.

The benefits that I have gained from the writings of our Shaykh are: He said:

Benefit: Abu Bakr An-Naisaburi said: I heard Muhammad bin Abdul Malik say: I heard Yazid bin Harun say: I heard Al-Mas’udi say: It has been reported to me that whoever recites Sūrat al-Fath on the first night of Ramadan during the tathawwu (Sunnah) prayer is protected for that year.

I also found the supplication that the fasting person makes in this blessed month when breaking his fast before Maghrib:

Then he prays by asking for his important needs in this world and the Hereafter. This is how I have seen many prominent people do it.

Perhaps this supplication is good and is in accordance with the previous one, although I do not see any mention of this supplication in this order in any book.

Al-Allamah As-Sayyid Al-Wina’iy mentioned from Anas bin Malik from the Prophet:

“No Muslim should say when breaking his fast: O Great God, O Great God, You are my Lord, there is no God but You, forgive the great sin. Verily, there is none who forgives major sins except God the Great,” but he comes out of his sins as the day he was born to his mother.”

The Messenger of Allah said: Teach this supplication to your children, for it is a saying that Allah and His messenger love, and it improves the affairs of this world and the Hereafter.”

Among those that I found was the supplication of the fasting person when breaking his fast:

“O Allah, it is for You that I fast and for Your provision that I break my fast, I believe in You, I put my trust in You, I hope for Your mercy and to You I repent.

O Allah, the thirst is gone and the veins are wet and the reward is realized, if Allah Ta’ala wills. O Lord of vast bounty, forgive me.

Praise be to Allah who helped me so that I could fast and provided for me so that I could break my fast.

O Allah, I ask You with Your all-pervading mercy that You forgive me.

Glory be to You and all praise be to You, accept it from me, surely You are the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing. O Allah, indeed You are the Most Forgiving, the Most Gracious and love forgiveness, so forgive me, O Most Gracious Lord.”

Narrated by ibn Majah from Abdullah ibn Umar , he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah say: “Verily, the one who fasts when he breaks his fast has a supplication that is not rejected.”

With regard to those who break their fast in someone else’s place, it is mustahabb for them to say:

“The fasting people eat in your place and your food is eaten by the righteous and may you be prayed for by the good angels.”

This supplication was reported from the Prophet as mentioned in Al-Adzkar.

In the hadith narrated by Muslim as mentioned by Al-Wina’iy: When the Prophet ate with a people, he did not leave until he had prayed for them. So he prayed in the house of Abdullah bin Bisyir saying:

“O Allah, bless them in the sustenance You give them, forgive them and have mercy on them.”

Fulfillment of supplication when reciting the Qur’an

We mentioned earlier that it is recommended to recite the great and noble Qur’an in the blessed month of Ramadan.

We mention here that it is recommended to pray when reciting it based on a hadith about it.

An-Nawawi mentioned in Al-Adzkaar: It is recommended to supplicate when reciting the Qur’an with a strong and strong recommendation based on the hadith that we narrated from Humaid Al-Araj , he said:

Whoever recites the Qur’an and then prays, his prayer will be answered by 70 angels. He should be urgent in supplication and ask for important matters and broad phrases.

Most or all of them should be about the affairs of the Hereafter and the Muslims, the good of their leaders and officials so that they obey and do not transgress, help each other in doing good and piety and establishing the truth and uniting for it, and pray for their victory over the enemies of religion and other dissenters.

THE DEEDS THAT ARE ASKED FOR IN THE LAST TEN NIGHTS WHERE THERE IS LAILATUL QADR

Know that Allah has favored the seasons of obedience over other times and made it easier to obtain good deeds and blessings.

Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, has honored the month of Ramadan above all other months and distinguished its nights with great virtues, and has favored it with the Lailatul Qadr, which is better than a thousand months.

Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, cares for those who have sinned and forgives them; He covers people’s sins; He soothes hearts and makes them prosperous; He fulfills the requests of those who ask Him for things and makes them easy.

Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, has made this night the most beautiful jewel in the necklace of time and has made its deeds richly rewarded. So whoever finds it and prays fervently, he is fortunate because his prayers are immediately answered.

No one seeks refuge on that night, but Allah protects him. No one repents to Allah on that night, but Allah accepts him and chooses him. No one asks Allah for something, but Allah gives it to him.

So fortunate is he who glorifies and honors it. Indeed, that night has the most blessings and light. How much goodness and how much flow.

On that night the doors of the heavens are opened and the angels descend with good news for whoever lives it and watches that night by preventing his eyes from sleeping. Fortunate is the one who enjoys the night of prayer and hopes. Fortunate is the one who feels pleasure in that night by doing obedience to his Lord.

So he prays solemnly and performs the prayer and witnesses His light when it appears.

How wonderful is that night when Allah takes notice of the supplication of the one who needs Him and realizes and helps the request of the one who prays to Him.

No one complains to Allah on that night, but Allah removes his distress and danger.

No one who is persecuted complains to Him, but He removes his difficulties from him and gives him freedom and gives him good news.

No one pleads solemnly to Him and relates his obstruction, but He accepts his excuse.

Nor does the heart of a weak person complain to Him, but He helps him gently and comforts him.

It was narrated by Imam Ahmad 2 in his Musnad with a hasan sanad from Ubadah bin Shamit , that the Messenger of Allah said:

“The Night of Qadr is found in the last ten nights (of Ramadan). Whoever prays on that night hoping for its reward, Allah forgives his previous and future sins. It is an odd night, the ninth or seventh or fifth or third or last night.”

Al-Hafidh ibn Hajar said: The people are trustworthy.

Narrated by An-Nasa’iy in As-Sunan al-Kubra from Abi Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him):

“Whoever prays in Ramadan – in one narration: in the month of Ramadan – out of faith and hoping for reward, his previous and future sins will be forgiven.

And whoever prays on the night of Qadr with faith and expectation of reward, his previous and future sins will be forgiven.”

Al-Hafidh ibn Hajar mentioned in al-Khishol: This is what An-Nasa’iy narrated from Qutaibah and Hamid ibn Yahya followed from Sufyan and he is trustworthy and his sanad meets the conditions of a sahih hadith.

Narrated by Al-Khatib in At-Tawaarikh from the hadith of Anas: “Whoever performs the ‘Isha and Fajr prayers in congregation has also received a large share of the Lailatul-Qadr.”

‘Ā’ishah said: O Rasulallah, if I find the Lailatul Qadr, what should I pray with? The Prophet replied:

“Say: O Allah, You are indeed the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful and the Most Forgiving, so forgive us.”

Scholars disagree on the timing of Lailatul Qadr. Most scholars say that Lailatul Qadr is only found in the month of Ramadan.

If we say that Lailatul Qadr is in Ramadan, is it in the whole of Ramadan or just the last ten nights of it?

There are two opinions: First: Lailatul Qadr is specific to the last ten nights of Ramadan, which is the view of many scholars. The general view is that it is found on the odd nights, especially if they coincide with the night of Friday.

Some say: It is hidden during the whole year and not specifically in Ramadan.

The wisdom in concealing it from the people in Ramadan is that they should venerate it and strive for all its nights, based on the view that it is found in all of Ramadan or in ten nights.

is found in all of Ramadan, or in the last ten nights, or throughout the year.

The discussion of Lailat al-Qadr is long and well known in books, especially such as Tuhfat al-Ikhwan and Ar-Raudhul faaig.

You know from the hadith of Sayyidah Aisha that the Muslim is asked to pray on that night with the words:

(O Allah, You are indeed the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful, and the Most Forgiving, so forgive me) and added after that:

(O Allah, I ask You for forgiveness and salvation and eternal salvation in religion, the world and the Hereafter).

This supplication was mentioned about Lailatul Qadr by al-Wina’iy in the chapter on the deeds to be done in Sha’ban.

Al-Wina’iy also said: It was narrated by ibnu Abbas on the authority of the Prophet & that he said: “Whoever says three times:

(There is no God but Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Gracious, the Most Glorious, the Lord of the seven heavens and the Master of the Most Majestic Throne), then he is like one who finds Lailatul Qadr.”

This means that if a person says this on a night that he thinks is the Night of Qadr, but it is not, and does good deeds on that night, his deeds on that night will be like his deeds on the Night of Qadr.

DEEDS REQUESTED ON THE DAY OF EID AL-FITR

Know that Allah has set us apart from other nations by the month of fasting and patience, and by washing away the sins of those who fast with it, like washing clothes with rainwater:

By completing it Allah gives us a clear mind and grants us Eid which is a happy day.

Some people are happy and some are miserable. The one whose deeds are accepted is congratulated, while the one whose deeds are rejected is woe to him whose deeds are rejected and fortunate is the servant whose deeds are accepted and whose behavior and deeds are praised.

It has been said: “The feast is not for the one who wears new clothes, but for the one whose obedience increases.”

Every day on which a slave does not disobey Allah is a holiday.

The one who is happy on the feast day is the one who remembers the promises and threats and asks for more of Allah’s reward.

On that day the Most Glorious King shows His mercy and frees His servants, male and female.

Allah Ta’ala said when the believers gathered for the Eid prayer: “O My angels, what is the reward of the one who has finished his work?

They replied: O our Lord, his wages are given.

Allah said: I make you witnesses, O My angels, that I have forgiven them.

It is mentioned in al-Ithaaf: As for the feast after Ramadan being a feast for the entire Ummah, it is a sign of the many deliverances from Hellfire that preceded it, just as Adha is the greatest feast for the many deliverances from Hellfire in Arafat that preceded it, because there is no day on which there are more deliverances than that.

So whoever was freed from Hellfire before, that day is a feast for him.

As for the one who was not freed, he is very far from being freed and is subject to a very severe threat.

It should be noted that the word “Al-led” comes from the word “Al-‘Aud”. Hence it is called Eid, because the day is repeated every year.

Some say: That is because of the many awaaid (gifts) Allah Ta’ala gives on that day to His servants due to His many favors or because Allah gives joy to His creatures on that day.

Some say: Because on that day people give and support each other. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet said: “Decorate the days of your ray with takbir.”

It was narrated from Abi Umamah , he said: The Messenger of Allah said: “Whoever makes alive the two nights of Eid, Allah will make his heart alive on the day when the hearts of men die.”

This is an allusion to his salvation on the Day of Resurrection when many hearts die – i.e. perish and are not saved – and his protection from a bad end.

The Prophet said:

“Whoever keeps alive four nights, Paradise is obligatory for him: the night of Tarwiyah, the night of Arafat, the night of Eid al-Adha and the night of Eid al-Fitr.” This Hadīth is mentioned in Al-Jaami’ ash-shaghir.

It is mentioned in another hadith: A request for the first night of Rajab and the night of the nisfu of Sha’ban.

Al-Hafni said: The least that one can do is to pray Isha in congregation and pray Fajr on that night.

However, what is meant here is to spend most of the night in acts of worship, such as prayer and remembrance, in order to achieve this great blessing, which is the certainty of entering Paradise.

The hadith mentioned earlier: “Five nights in which supplications are not rejected: the first night of Rajab, the night of the nisfu of Sha’ban, the night of Friday and the two nights of the feasts.”

The Prophet said:

“The month of Ramadan hangs between the heavens and the earth, so it is not elevated to Allah, except by giving zakat al-fitr.”

Narrated Abu Ayyub al-Anshori:

“Whoever fasts Ramadan and supplements it with six days of Shawwal is like fasting a year.”

Among the deeds that are asked for on the two holidays is what Al-Wina’iy said in his treatise: Whoever asks Allah’s forgiveness on the Feast days after the Fajr prayer one hundred times, not a single sin will remain in his list of deeds, but it will be erased from him and on the Day of Resurrection he will be safe from Allah’s punishment.

And whoever says: Subhanallaahi wa bihamdihi one hundred times on the day of Eid and says: O my Lord, I give the reward to the dwellers of the grave, there is not left of the dead but he says: O Rahiim, have mercy on Your servant and grant him the reward of Paradise.

Al-Fashani said in Tuhfatul ikhwan from Anas , from the Prophet & that he said:

“Observe the two festivals with tahlil, purifying Allah and glorifying Him, and saying Takbir.”

What is the ruling on wishing people a happy festive season?

Al-Qamuliy said: I did not see anyone of our companions who spoke about wishing people happy holidays and years and months as some people do.

But al-Hafidh al-Mundziri quoted from al-Hafidh al-Maqdisi, who said that people disagree about that.

In my opinion it is permissible, not Sunnah or innovation.

Al-Hafidh ibn Hajar replied after studying it that congratulations are prescribed. He argued that al-Baihaqi devoted a chapter to it.

He said: The chapter is about the words that some people say

to others:

He mentioned some da’eef (weak) reports and ahaadeeth, but all of them can be used as evidence in this case.

Then he said: The proof for the generality of congratulating oneself on blessings gained or calamities averted is that prostration of gratitude is prescribed.

And what is narrated in Saheeh Bukhari and Saheeh Muslim from Ka’b ibn Malik, regarding the story of his repentance for not participating in the battle of Tabuk. When he was told that his repentance was accepted and went to the Prophet, Ihalhah bin Ubaidillah welcomed him and congratulated him.

Based on that, the congratulation was requested and prescribed.

In the greeting it is asked to pray for the continuance of favors and joys upon the person being congratulated and for their recurrence.

It should not be hidden that congratulatory letters are among the social matters that establish the rules of sincerity and strengthen the bonds of meeting (and love causes specialization) and plant the seeds of unity and loyalty and strengthen the bonds of love and brotherhood.

I have composed two stanzas of holiday greetings and printed them on a card to be left in the place where one is visiting and no one is around.

So the card replaces its owner when visiting in the absence of the person visited and he does not need to return to it.

May this day of blessings and joy always be repeated to you and bring you joy, because I do not see the light of your form I make this writing to fulfill part of the obligation.

May Allah Ta’ala make our days the best of feasts in obeying the Lord of the servants with the blessing of health and safety for the sake of the position of the man under the cloud, Muhammad, may Allah always glorify and exalt him.

DEEDS REQUESTED IN THE MONTH OF DHU AL-HIJJAH

It is known that the month of Zulhijjah is a revered and holy month. In this month, the Hajj pilgrimage is performed, which is one of the pillars of Islam.

Zulhijjah is a month that is revered for its purity and its many virtues. In it, prayers are answered and desires are fulfilled, and there are ten nights on which Allah, the Almighty, swore in His Noble Book: (QS. Al-Fajr: 1-2).

Indeed, this is a great oath.

The scholars disagree as to what is meant by Al-Fajr and Al-Ashri. Some say: What is meant by Al-Fajri is the dawn of each day. As-Suyuthi limits it to that opinion in his tafseer.

Others said: The dawn of the first day of the month of Muharram, because the new year begins at that time.

Or the dawn of the first day of the day of sacrifice, because at that time people perform most of the rituals of Hajj and worship.

Or the dawn of the first day of Dhu’l-Hijjah, because it is connected to the ten nights.

Or the dawn of the day of ‘Arafah, which is the view of the majority of scholars.

What is meant by the ten nights is the tenth of Dhu’l-Hijjah. Al-Hafidh As-Suyuthi is of this opinion in his tafseer.

Some say: The last ten nights of Ramadan. Some say: The first ten nights of the month of Muharram.

Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, says: with the nakrah form, because they are the best nights of the year.

Al-Hafidh Muhammad ibn Nashiruddin Ad-Dimashqi Ash-Shaff’i mentioned in his treatise about the virtues of the ten nights of Dhu’l-Hijjah: The first opinion is that of the majority of scholars, which is the first ten nights of Dhu’l-Hijjah. This is the well-known and valid opinion.

Then he cites the traditions as evidence for this opinion until he says: The majority of scholars said that the dawn is the dawn of the day of ‘Arafah and the ten nights are the first ten nights of the month of Dhu’l-Hijjah.

Abu Uthman said: They favored the thirty nights: The first ten nights of Dhu al-Hijjah, the first ten nights of Muharram and the last ten nights of Ramadan.

The reports indicate the preference of the first ten nights of Dhu’l-Hijjah over the other twenty nights, because they include the day of Tarwiyah, the day of ‘Arafah and the day of sacrifice.

It is mentioned in the hadith:

“There are no days more excellent in the sight of Allah than the first ten days of the month of Zulhijjah and no nights more excellent than its nights.”

Zulhijjah is the last of the months mentioned in Allah’s words: Shawwal, Zulqa’dah and the first ten days of Zulhijjah. Some have issued the sacrificial holiday from it.

It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas : There is no day more excellent in the sight of Allah than these days, which are the ten days of the month of Dhu’l-Hijjah.

Do much tahlil and takbir in these days, for they are days of tahlil and takbir and dhikrullah, and a day’s fast in these days is like a year’s fast, and deeds in these days are rewarded seven hundred times.

Then he said: It is also mentioned that supplications in these ten nights are answered.

It was narrated from Abi Musa al-Ash’ari that the days that are understood are the first nine days of the month of Dhu’l-Hijjah apart from the day of sacrifice, and supplication in these days is not rejected.

How can supplications be rejected on these days, when among them is the day of ‘Arafah, which is reported to be the best in the world.

Ibn Hibban narrated this hadith in his Sahih from Jabir.

I saw a prayer that was handwritten by a prominent scholar and recited every day of the first ten days of Dhu’l-Hijjah ten times:

“Laa ilaaha illallaah as many times as there are nights and times. Laa ilaaha illallaah as many as the days and months. Laa ilaaha illallaah is as many as the waves of the sea. Laa ilaaha illallaah as many times as the rewards. Laa ilaaha illallaah as many as the raindrops. Laa ilaaha illallaah as many as the leaves of a tree. Laa ilaaha illallaah is as much as the hair and feathers of camels. Laa ilaaha illallaah as much as sand and stones. Laa ilaaha illallaah as much as flowers and fruits. Laa ilaaha illallaah is as much as human breath. Laa ilaaha illallaah is as much as the blink of an eye.

Laa ilaaha illallaah is as many as the events that have happened and those that continue to happen. Laa ilaaha illallaah, the Most Holy from what they associate. Laa ilaaha illallaah, better than what they have gathered.

Laa ilaaha illallaah at night when it is about to leave its darkness.

Laa ilaaha illallaah at dawn when it begins to break. Laa ilaaha illallaah as much as the wind blows in the deserts and rocks.

Laa ilaaha illallaah from this day until the blowing of the trumpet (the Day of Judgment).

Laa ilaaha illallaah is as numerous as all His creatures. Laa ilaaha illallaah from this day until the day of reckoning.”

I did not see that the scholar attributed it or attributed it to anyone, rather he just said: This supplication has many virtues.

Then I saw al-Allamah al-Wina’iy narrating in al-Mu’jam al-Kabir from the Prophet that he said:

“Whoever says in the first ten days of Dhu’l-Hijjah every day ten times: “Laa ilaaha illallaah as many times. Laa ilaaha illallaah as many times as the waves of the sea. Laa ilaaha illallaah as many as the plants and trees. Laa ilaaha illallaah as many as the raindrops. Laa ilaaha illallaah is as much as the blink of an eye. Laa ilaaha illallaah is better than what they gather. Laa ilaaha illallaah from this day until the blowing of the trumpet, “his previous and future sins will be forgiven.”

I say: It is better to recite both of them, alone, ten times, because it is possible that the first one was narrated as well, so combining the two narrations, if you want to limit it, then limit it to the last one, because it was narrated with certainty.

Among the supplications that I also found for the ten days of Dhu’l-Hijjah is this one. I quoted it from the writings of a pious man who said: It was narrated from Al-Allamah Ash-Shaykh AlKhatthab Al-Makki Al-Maliki – may Allah benefit him -.

He said: People are asked to repeat every day a simple supplication without specifying a certain amount in the first ten days of Dhu’l-Hijjah until the day of sacrifice to pay off debts, namely:

“O Allah, grant me Your near freedom. O Allah, grant me Your firm protection. O Allah, grant me Your long-standing favor. O Allah, grant me Your good bounty. O Allah, grant me Your good and good gifts. O God of everlasting goodness, grant me your everlasting goodness.”

Then I saw that this supplication was attributed to the Al-Allamah mentioned in our “Al-Ishobah fi mahallaat al-ijabah”.

Al-Allamah Ash-Sharif Ma’ul ‘ainain said in Natil bidaayat wd taushif an-nihayat: Among the most beneficial and widely recited supplications for the ten days of Dhu’l-Hijjah, he said: This supplication was given to me by our Shaykh and I found it in a book:

That the Messenger of Allah taught it to his close companions, namely:

“Sufficient is Allah to be my helper and sufficient. May Allah hear (grant) whoever prays, there is no end behind him. Whoever puts his trust in Allah will be provided for, and whoever seeks refuge in Allah will be safe.”

SUPPLICATION FOR THE DAY OF ARAFAT

On the day of Arafat the supplication is added:

“There is no God but Allah alone, there is no partner for Him, He has all power and to Him belongs all praise, and He is All-Powerful over all things.”

It is reported in a number of traditions that this recitation is equivalent to freeing ten slaves.

In our Ad-Da’awaat by Al-Mustaqhfiri it is narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas: Whoever recites Dul huwallahu ahad one thousand times on the day of ‘Arafah, his request will be granted.

Then he recites the famous and well-known supplications of Arafat that are mentioned in the rituals. He repeats each supplication three times and begins his supplication by praising and glorifying Allah Ta’ala, saying tasbeeh and peace and blessings on the Messenger of Allah and his family and companions. He ends the supplication by reciting these words and saying Aameen.

He should say many tasbih, tahmid, tahlil and takbir. The best supplication in this regard is the one narrated by Tirmidhi and others from the Messenger of Allah who said:

“The most important supplication on the day of Arafat and the most important word uttered by me and the prophets before me: “There is no God but Allah alone, there is no partner for Him, He has all power and to Him belongs all praise and He is over all things.”

It is mentioned in the book of Tirmidhi from Ali , he said: The most recited supplication of the Prophet on the day of Arafat at the place of wuquf is:

“O Allah, all praise be to You as we say and better than we say. O Allah, for You are my prayer, my worship, my life and my death. To You I return and for You is my inheritance, O my Lord. O Allah, I seek refuge with You from the torment of the grave and the dread in the breast and the scattered affairs. O Allah, I seek refuge with You from the evil caused by the wind.”

Among the selected supplications:

“O Allah, our Lord, grant us good in this world and good in the Hereafter and protect us from the punishment of hell. O Allah, surely I have wronged myself with great and many wrongs and there is none who forgives sins except You, so forgive me with forgiveness from Your side and have mercy on me, surely You are the Forgiving, the Merciful.

O Allah, forgive me with forgiveness from Your side by which You improve my condition in this world and the next. And have mercy on me with mercy from You that causes me to be happy in this world and the Hereafter and accept my sincere repentance that I do not break forever.

Set me on the path of istiqomah so that I do not deviate from it forever. O Allah, move me from the dishonor of sin to the glory of obedience and suffice me with your halal without committing the haram, and suffice me with obedience to You without committing sin and with Your bounty without needing anything other than You.

Enlighten my heart and my grave, protect me from all evil and gather all good for me. I entrust to You my religion and trust, my heart and body, the end of my deeds and all the favors You have bestowed upon me and all my loved ones and the Muslims as a whole.”

Al-Imam Al-Ghazali has compiled a number of supplications for the day of Arafat. He said: His most important occupation on the day of ‘Arafah should be prayer. In such a place and such a gathering of people it is expected that supplications will be answered.

The supplication narrated from the Messenger of Allah and the salaf on the day of Arafat is preferable to recite. So he should say:

“Alhamdulillaahi Robbil “aalamiin. Wa sallallahu “alaa Sayyidina Muhammadin wa “alaa aalihi wa shahbihi wa sallam.

There is no God but Allah, there is no partner for Him, He has all authority and to Him belongs all praise.

He gives life and death, He is eternally alive and does not die, in His hand is all goodness and He is in control of all things. O Allah, make light in my heart, light in my hearing and light in my sight, and light in my tongue. O Allah, expand my chest and make my affairs easy.”

AL-KHADHIR PRAYER

He should recite the supplication of Al-Khadhir a lot, saying:

“O Lord who is not preoccupied with one business without doing another and is not preoccupied with one hearing to the point of not hearing another and no sound is obscure to Him.

O God who is not burdened by requests and there are no different languages for Him. O Lord who is not weary of the insistence of servants in their prayers and is not weary of many requests. Grant us the coldness of Your forgiveness and the sweetness of seeking You.”

He should pray for whatever he wants and ask forgiveness for him and his parents and all the believers and believers.

He should be urgent in supplication and ask for great requests, for there is nothing great for Allah.

This is what al-Ghazali said in al-Ihya.

O Allah, forgive the sins of us and our parents and our teachers and those who have rights over us and who advise us to pray and who do good to us and the Muslims.

Wa sallaahu ‘alaa Sayyidina Muhammadin wa ‘alaa aalihi wa shahbihi wa sallam.

Then, on the day of sacrifice, which is Eid al-Adha, recite as we mentioned regarding Eid al-Fitr.

Then, know that I have quoted at the beginning of this treatise from Ad-Dairobi from Sibthu ibnul Jauzi from Umar ibn Qudamah Al Maqdisi the supplication for the beginning of the year and the supplication for its end.

Our teachers always prescribed it and recited it and I have never missed reciting it in my life. As for the supplication for the beginning of the year, I have mentioned it there.

YEAR-END PRAYER

This is the supplication recited on the last day of the month of Zulhijjah:

“In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Merciful. May Allah send peace and blessings upon Sayyidina Muhammad and his family and companions.

O Allah, the deed that I did in the past year and You did not approve of it and I forgot it, while You did not forget it and You forgave me, even though You were able to punish me and You called upon me to repent after I dared to turn to You, O Allah I ask Your forgiveness for it. So forgive me.

O Allah, the deed that You approve of and You promised me reward and forgiveness for, so accept it from me and do not cut off my hope from You, O Most Merciful of the merciful.

Wa sallaahu ta’aala “alaa Sayyidina Muhammadin wa “alaa aalihi wa shahbihi wa sallam.”

This prayer is recited three times three times. So the shaitan said: We have been nourished by him throughout the year and he has corrupted our deeds in one moment.

This is the end of the endeavor that Allah, the Most Grateful, facilitated in mentioning the supplications of some of the days of most of the months of the year, which is what I know and see.

So whoever finds supplications and benefits related to what we have mentioned, let him add them so that he will be rewarded in the sight of Allah, because the aim is to benefit our Muslim brothers and sisters and to bring good to the Muslims.

May Allah benefit me with it in this world and the next and gather me among the leaders of this world and the next, Muhammad. May Allah increase him in virtue and honor with Him.

I completed the preparation of this treatise with the help of Allah on the auspicious Friday of the month of Safar in the year 1328 AH.

This treatise has been praised by several renowned scholars: Al-Allamah Ash-Shaykh Muhammad Said Babshail (Mufti of Shafi’iyah) in Makkah Al-Mukarromah, Al-Allamah As-Sayyid Umar bin Muhammad Shatha, Al-Allamah As-Sayyid Husain bin Muhammad Al-Habshi (Mufti of Shafi’iyah) in Makkah Al-Mukarromah, among others, Al-Allamah Ash-Sharif Muhammad bin Idris Al-Qadiri Al-Hasani, Al-Allamah Ash-Shams Ash-Syangithi, Al-Allamah Ash-Shaykh Yusuf bin Ismz’il AnNabhani and Al-Allamah Ash-Shaykh Umar Hamdan.

The correction of the printing of this treatise was done by Ash-Shaykh Ahmad Abdul Alim Al-Barduni from the scholars of Al-Azhar.

The printing was completed on the 20th of Shawwal, 1383 AH (March 4, 1964).

Wa sallallahu ‘alaa Sayyidina wa maulana Muhammad Rasulillah wa ‘alaa aalihi wa shahbihi ajma’in.
