Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem
Hadhrat Salmaan (Radhiyallahu ‘anhu) related that Rasulullah
Sallallaahu ‘alayhi wasallam delivered a sermon on the last day of the month of
Sha’baan. In it, Rasulullah Sallallaahu ‘alayhi wasallam said:
“And in this month (Ramadaan), four things you
should continue to perform in great number; two of which shall be to please your
Lord, while the other two shall be those which you cannot do without.
Those which shall be to please your Lord are:
That you should in great quantity bear
witness that there is no deity to worship except Allah (i.e. recite the Kalimah
Tayyibah, Laa ilaha illallah)
and make much Istighfaar (repentance, beg Allah Ta’ala’s
forgiveness with Astagfirullah).
And as for those which you cannot do without:
You should beg of Allah Ta’ala, entrance into Paradise and ask
refuge in Him from Jahannum.”[1]
The following is a simple Zikr which
encompasses all of the above four and should be read daily and frequently in
the month of Ramadaan, as per the guidance of our Beloved Rasul Sallallaahu
‘alayhi wasallam. May Allah Ta’ala grant us the Taufeeq.
