بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

In a lecture on the last day of Sha’ban, Rasulullah ﷺ drew our attention to four things and advised that we practice them as much as possible.

They are the recitation of Kalimah Tayibbah, istighfaar, begging for Jannah and asking safety from Jahannam.

“And in this month, four things you should endeavor to perform in great number, two of which shall be to please your Lord, while the other two shall be those without which you cannot make do.

Those which shall be to please your Lord, are that you should in great quantity recite the kalimah tayyibah: La ilaha illa Allah, and make much istighfar (beg Allah’s forgiveness with Astaghfirullah).

And as for those two without which you cannot make do, you should beg Allah for entry into paradise and seek refuge with Him from the fire of Jahannam.”

Therefore, Hadhrat Sheik Rahmatullahi Alayhi advises that it must be regarded an honour to spend as much time as possible reciting these.

This will be the true appreciation of the teachings of Rasulullah ﷺ . What is so difficult about keeping the tongue busy with the recitation of Durood (salawaat) or ‘Laa Ilaha illallah’ while being engaged in our daily works?
