It is a good time to prepare for Ramadhan. This holy and blessed month in which only the wicked / damned Shaghi 1 will not be forgiven of his sins (as per hadith narrated from the prophet s.a.w). This is a month to be awaited the whole year round. It is a beautiful month.
Let’s read Dua no 45 of Sahifa Sajaadiyya of Imam Sajjad and see how he talks about Ramadhan and how he addresses the month:
1. السّلَامُ عَلَیْکَ یَا شَهْرَ اللّهِ الْأَکْبَرَ، وَ یَا عِیدَ أَوْلِیَائِهِ.
2. السّلَامُ عَلَیْکَ یَا أَکْرَمَ مَصْحُوبٍ مِنَ الْأَوْقَاتِ، وَ یَا خَیْرَ شَهْرٍ فِی الْأَیّامِ وَ السّاعَاتِ.
3. السّلَامُ عَلَیْکَ مِنْ شَهْرٍ قَرُبَتْ فِیهِ الْآمَالُ، وَ نُشِرَتْ فِیهِ الْأَعْمَالُ.
4. السّلَامُ عَلَیْکَ مِنْ قَرِینٍ جَلّ قَدْرُهُ مَوْجُوداً، وَ أَفْجَعَ فَقْدُهُ مَفْقُوداً، وَ مَرْجُوٍّ آلَمَ فِرَاقُهُ
