🌙 A Spiritual Letter by Allama Sayyid Ali Qadhi to His Students at the Start of Rajab al-Murajjab
💌 86 years ago, on Saturday, 5th Shahrivar 1317 (one day before Rajab began), Allama Qadhi—a mentor of Allama Tabatabai—wrote a profound spiritual letter to his students. He emphasized the sanctity and spirituality of Rajab, the month of Imam Ali (AS), and provided practical guidance for making the most of this blessed time.
🕋 In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate
"Praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and blessings and peace be upon His clear Messenger, his trusted successor, their righteous offspring, and the pure progeny. May Allah's peace and blessings be upon them all."
🔸 A Call to Awareness
"You are now in the Sacred Months. Stay vigilant! Use this opportunity to gather provisions for your journey. Make the nights alive with worship, fast during the days, and show gratitude to the Lord whose grace is boundless.
"Sleep little in these nights, for many lovers of Allah stay awake. Recite the Qur'an with a beautiful and sorrowful voice, as its light dispels darkness, and no content can match its truth. Whoever claims otherwise has erred."
🔖 Key Instructions for the Month of Rajab:
1️⃣ Repentance:
Perform the prayer of repentance, especially on the night before or day of the start of Rajab. Avoid major and minor sins thereafter. Repeat the prayer of repentance on the second day of Rajab.
2️⃣ Self-Reflection and Accountability:
Engage in self-monitoring and self-accountability. Reflect on your deeds and make corrections where needed, fostering humility and growth.
3️⃣ Prayers with Presence of Heart:
Offer obligatory prayers at their designated times and complete the 51 daily recommended units of prayer. If unable, perform 44 units or at least the “Prayers of the Penitent.”
4️⃣ Night Prayers:
Night prayers are indispensable. Seeking spiritual elevation without night worship is inconceivable, as no one has achieved true perfection without it.
5️⃣ Quran Recitation:
Recite the Qur’an at night with a mournful tone, as it serves as the "wine of believers."
6️⃣ Supplications and Seeking Forgiveness:
Include the supplication for Imam Mahdi’s (AJ) reappearance in your prayers, particularly in the Qunoot of Witr. Focus on seeking forgiveness to cleanse your soul.
7️⃣ Post-Prayer Dhikr:
After obligatory prayers, do not neglect the Tasbih of Lady Fatimah (SA). This dhikr is highly recommended and should be recited at least once in each gathering.
8️⃣ Visiting Graves:
Regularly visit the graves of believers, but do so during the day and avoid nighttime visits.
9️⃣ Connecting with Believers:
Strengthen your ties with pious believers, as they are invaluable companions on the spiritual journey.
🔟 Visiting Sacred Sites:
Make time to visit mosques and shrines. A believer in a mosque is like a fish in water.
🔸 A Warning About the World:
"Do not be deceived! This world distracts us and pulls us astray. Yet, it is not ours to keep. Blessed are those whose bodies reside in the material world, but whose hearts are in the celestial realms. They may appear few, but in reality, they are many."
