ترجمۂ کنزالایمان: اللہ کے نام سے شروع جو نہایت مہربان رحم والا
Translation: Allah in the name of the most Affectionate the Merciful

Du’a for Reading the Book or Islamic Lesson
Read the following Du’a (supplication) before studying a religious book or Islamic lesson , you will remember whatever you study.
Translation:Ya Allah! Open the portal of knowledge and wisdom for us, and have mercy on us! O the one who is the most honourable and glorious! (Al-Mustaraf, vol. 1, pp. 40)

Note: Recite Durud Sharif once before and after the Du’a.




ترجمۂ کنزالایمان:اور اگر جب وہ اپنی جانوں پر ظلم کریں تو اے محبوب تمہارے حضور حاضر ہوں اور پھر اللہ سے معافی چاہیں اور رسول ان کی شفاعت فرمائے تو ضرور اللہ کو بہت توبہ قبول کرنے والا مہربان پائیں۔
                                                                                                      
Translation of Kanzul Iman:And if when they do justice unto their souls, then O beloved! They should come to you and then beg forgiveness of Allah and the messenger should intercede for them then surely, they would find Allah Most Relenting, Merciful (4:64)

Excellence of Durud Shareef
The Noble Rasool صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم has stated, ‘Whoever recites Salat upon me one time, Allah عزوجل sends ten mercies upon him.’ (Sahih Muslim, pp. 166, vol. 1)

Permissibility Of Setting Aside Days

The Ahle Sunnah wa Jamaat believe that it is not Haraam but totally permissible to set aside days for important and beneficial events.

Almighty Al’laah in the Glorious Qur’aan says,

“And remind them of the days of Al’laah” [SurahIbrahim Verse.5]

In another verse of the Holy Qur’aan Almighty Al’laah says,

“And remember Al’laah in the designated days.” [Surah Baqara Verse.203]

Now that we have had the opportunity of examining the above mentioned verses of the Holy Qur’aan, let us now study a few sayings of the Ahle Bait-e-Athaar and the Blessed Sahaba-e-Kiraam (radi Al’laahu anhumul Ajmaeen).

Ummul Mo'minin Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (radi Al’laahu anha) says,

“Rasoolullah  used to keep fast on Mondays and Thursdays.” [Mishkaat Shareef Pg.179 - Ash’atul Lam’aat Pg.104 Vol.4 – Mirqaat Shareef Pg.298 Vol.4 - Abu Dawood Shareef Pg 242 Vol.1- Ibn Majah Pg.n 125 - Jaame Tirmizi Pg.93 Vo.1 - Nisa’i Shareef]

Hazrat Abdullah ibn Umar  states,

“The Holy Prophet  used to visit Musjid-e-Quba every Saturdays, sometimes riding an animal and sometimes walking, and he would perform two raka'ats of Salaah there” [Sahih Bukhari Shareef – Sahih Muslim Shareef Pg.448 Vol.1]

Hazrat Ka'ab bin Maalik  states,

“Verily Rasoolullah  departed for Ghazwa-e-Tubook on a Thursday and he preferred to journey out on a Thursday.” [Sahih Bukhari -Mishkaat Pg.338 - Fathul Baari - Umdatul Qaari - Irshaadus Saari -Mirkaat Pg.326 Vol.1 – Kanzul Umaal Pg.73 Vol.3]

Ummul Mo'mineen, Sayyida Umme Salma (radi Al’laahu anha) states,

 “The Holy Prophet  used to instruct me to keep fast on three days of every month and that I should commence with them on a Monday or on Thursday.” [Mirkaat Pg.300 Vol.4 - Mishkaat Shareef Pg.180 -Ash’atul Lam’aat Pg.105 Vol.2 - Abu Dawood Shareef Pg.244 Vol.1 -Nisa’i Shareef]

Hazrat Abu Zirr Ghifaari  says, The Holy Prophet  said to me:

If you wish to fast then fast for three days in a month, namely the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth of every Islamic month.” [Mishkaat Shareef Pg.180 - JaameTirmizi Pg.95 Vol.1 - Nisa’i Shareef]

It is clear from all the above mentioned narrations that there is absolutely no objection to setting aside days to do any good and blessed actions. In reality, to do so is the manner of the Prophet .

Ya Allah عزوجل of Mustafa  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم! We make sincere Dua that  blesses us all with strength in Imaan and true love for the Holy Prophet  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلمand for all those who follow that which has been taught and commanded by Him. Amin! (Source: Extracted from Proper Sunni Beliefs)
