The four special actions of Ramadhan

People inquire that which Zikr   should  we   recite  in  Ramadhan? When Prophet ﷺ has advised us regarding this then there is absolutely no need to search for other Zikr. There is no better Zikr than Zikr taught to us by Prophet ﷺ. Regarding the actions to be done excessively in the blessed month of Ramadhan, the honorable advice of beloved Prophet ﷺ is as follows:

1.Excessive recital of "La Ilaha Illallah"

The pious mentioned that excessive will mean at least three hundred times, because plural in Arabic begins from three.

2.Excessive Istighfar (forgiveness).

3.Abundantly asking for

4.Abundantly seeking refuge from

There are many Du‟as mentioned in Hadeeth related to asking for Paradise and seeking refuge from Hell. Here is one of them:

 

O Allah! I ask you for paradise and for

those actions that will take me towards it.

 

O Allah! I seek your protection from the fire and

from those actions that will take me towards it.

The benefit of the company of the pious during Ramadhan

If Allah Ta‟ala grants Taufeeq (guidance), spend the month of Ramadhan in the company of a pious person, double engines will be attached to your soul. When the train goes to Quetta (a city in Pakistan), two engines are attached to the coaches; one in the front and one in the rear, because the area is extremely steep. The one in the back pushes and the one in the front pulls. So may Allah grant us two engines too. We are going to strange places and it is possible that we get affected by the glitter and glamour there. To save one self, meditate over Hell so that the blade of the fire cuts into the heart and meditate over Heaven so that the enthusiasm for Heaven pulls. This is the reason that Allah has elucidated on the details of Paradise, so that a person realizes that the restrictions and efforts in this world is for a short time, thereafter he will receive eternal comfort.

The company of the pious is a gift related to place and Ramadhan is a gift related to time. When Ramadhan is spent in the company of the pious, two engines are now attached; the engine of time and the engine of place, resulting in traversing the path of closeness unto Allah very swiftly. This is the reason that the pious gather their students at their respective places in Ramadhan. Great and senior scholars also would stay in the company of Shaykh Zakariyya ہیلعہللتمح and also by Shaykh Thānvi ہیلعہللتمح, but only those with concern (for their spiritual selves) and those who had this thirst would go. Without the proper thirst and desire, nothing is achieved in this world.
