(ii) In every “Rukoo” and “Sajdah” recite the Tasbihate arba 10 times:

يَا حَيّ يَا قَيّومُ،
ya hayyu ya qayyumu
O Ever-Alive, O Eternal,

يَا ذَا الجَلالِ وَالإِكرَامِ،
ya dhaljalali wal-ikrami
O the Lord of Majesty and Honor.

يَارَحْمَانَ الدّنيَا وَالآخِرَةِ وَرَحِيمَهُمَا،
yarahmana alddunya wal-akhirati wa rahimahuma
O the All-beneficent of this world and the Next World and the All-merciful of them;

يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ،
ya arhama alrrahimina
O the most Merciful of all those who show mercy.

يَاإِلهَ الأَوّلِينَ وَالآخِرِينَ،
ya ilah al-awwalina wal-akhirina
O the God of the past and the coming generations;

اغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا،
aghfir lana dhunubana
(Please) forgive us our sins,

وَتَقَبّلْ مِنَّا صَلاتَنَا وَصِيَامَنَا وَقِيَامَنَا.
wa taqabbl minna salatana wa siyamana wa qiyamana
And accept our prayers, fasting, and worship.

The Holy Prophet (a.s) then continues, “I swear by Him Who has sent me with the truth as Prophet; Archangel Gabriel has reported to me from Archangel Israfel who directly reports from Almighty Allah that one who offers that prayer will not raise his head from prostration before Almighty Allah would forgive him, accept his acts during the month of Ramadhan, and overlooks his sins... .”

Sayyid Ibn Tawus and Shaykh al-Saduq have both narrated the following on the authority of Jabir ibn `Abdullah al-Ansari:I visited the Messenger of Allah (a.s) on the last Friday of Ramazan. As he saw me, he said, “Jabir: This is the last Friday of Ramazan. You should thus bid it farewell by saying the following


اللّهُمّ لا تَجْعَلهُ آخِرَ العَهْدِ مِنْ صِيَامِنَا إِيَّاهُ
allahumma la taj`alhu akhira al`ahdi min siyamina iyyahu
O Allah: (please) do not make it the last of our fasting in this month;

فَإِنْ جَعَلْتَهُ فَاجْعَلْنِي مَرْحُوماً وَلا تَجْعَلْنِي مَحْرُوماً.
fa-in ja`altahu faj`alny marhuman wa la taj`alny mahruman
but if You decide so, then (please) make me enjoy (Your) mercy and do not make me deprived (of it)

Verily, anyone who says this supplication will win one of the two good things; either attaining the next Ramazan or having the forgiveness and mercy of Almighty Allah.”

O‟ my God! Indeed You have said the following in Your revealed book, and indeed whatever you say is right, „Ramadhan is the (month) in which was sent down the Qur‟an,

وَ هَذَا شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ قَدْ تَصَرَّمَتْ لَيَالِيهِ وَ أَيَّامُهُ فَأَسْأَلُكَ بِوَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ وَ كَلِمَاتِكَ التَّامَّةِ وَ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدِ إِنْ كَانَ بَقِيَ عَلَيَّ ذَنْبٌ وَاحِدٌ لَمْ تَغْفِرْهُ لِي أَوْ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تُحَاسِبَنِي عَلَيْهِ أَوْ تُعَاقِبَنِي عَلَيْهِ أَوْ تُقَايِسَنِي بِهِ أَنْ لَا يَطْلُعَ فَجْرُ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ أَوْ يَتَصَرَّمَ هَذَا الشَّهْرُ إِلَّا وَ قَدْ غَفَرْتَهُ لِي
And now the month of Ramadhan has ended and its days and nights have all passed.
So I ask You by Your Noble Face, and Your Perfect Words, and by Muhammad and his Progeny (as) that if I am still liable for a sin which You have not forgiven that You want to hold me accountable for, punish me for, or judge me with; I ask You to not let this night pass –

يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ أَيْ مُلَيِّنَ الْحَدِيدِ لِدَاوُدَ أَيْ كَاشِفَ الْكَرْبِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اسْتَجِبْ دُعَائِي وَ أَعْطِنِي سُؤْلِي وَ اجْعَلْ جَمِيعَ هَوَايَ لِي سَخَطاً إِلَّا مَا رَضِيتَهُ
O‟ Most Compassionate Most Merciful – O‟ He who melted the iron for David (as), O‟ He who removed troubles from Muhammad (as), responds to my prayer, fulfills my needs and turns all of my selfish desires pleasing to You.

وَ اجْعَلْ جَمِيعَ طَاعَتِكَ لِي رِضًا وَ إِنْ خَالَفَ مَا هَوَيْتُ عَلَى مَا أَحْبَبْتَ أَوْ كَرِهْتَ حَتَّى أَكُونَ لَكَ فِي جَمِيعِ مَا أَمَرْتَنِي مُتَابِعاً مُطِيعاً سَامِعاً وَ عَنْ كُلِّ مَا نَهَيْتَنِي عَنْهُ مُنْتَهِياً وَ فِي كُلِّ مَا قَضَيْتَ عَلَيَّ وَ لِي رَاضِياً
Let all acts of Your Obedience be pleasant to me even if what I desire is incompatible with what You love or dislike, so that I may follow, obey and listen to all Your Orders and abstain from all that You have admonished against.

وَ عَلَى كُلِّ مَا أَنْعَمْتَ بِهِ عَلَيَّ شَاكِراً وَ فِي كُلِّ حَالاتِي لَكَ ذَاكِراً مِنْ حَالِ عَافِيَةٍ أَوْ بَلَاءٍ أَوْ شِدَّةٍ أَوْ رَخَاءٍ أَوْ سَخَطٍ أَوْ رِضًى
So that I may be pleased with all that You have destined for me and thank You for all Your Blessings.
So that I remember You in all conditions – in well-being or in calamities, in hardship or ease, and in anger or happiness.

إِلَهِي فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ انْظُرْ إِلَيَّ فِي جَمِيعِ أُمُورِي نَظْرَةً رَحِيمَةً شَرِيفَةً كَرِيمَةً تُقَوِّينِي بِهَا عَلَى مَا أَمَرْتَنِي بِهِ

Please increase my insight and certitude regarding all Your Bounties near me and Blessings given to me that You let me know about and Your Kindness to me, and Your Favors for me.

إِلَهِي حَاجَتِيَ الْعُظْمَى الَّتِي إِنْ قَضَيْتَهَا لَمْ يَضُرَّنِي مَا مَنَعْتَنِي وَ إِنْ مَنَعْتَنِيهَا لَمْ يَنْفَعْنِي مَا أَعْطَيْتَنِي أَسْأَلُكَ فَكَاكَ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ النَّارِ يَا سَيِّدِي ارْحَمْنِي مِنَ السَّلَاسِلِ وَ الْأَغْلَالِ وَ السَّعِيرِ وَ ارْحَمْنِي مِنَ الطَّعَامِ الزَّقُّومِ وَ شُرْبِ الْحَمِيمِ ارْحَمْنِي مِنْ جَهَنَّمَ‌ إِنَّ عَذابَها كانَ غَراماً إِنَّها ساءَتْ مُسْتَقَرًّا وَ مُقاماً لَا تُعَذِّبْنِي وَ أَنَا أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَ لَا تَحْرِمْنِي وَ أَنَا أَسْأَلُكَ أَسْأَلُكَ الْجَنَّةَ وَ مَا فِيهَا
O‟ my God! I ask You for my great needs! If You grant it to me, nothing withheld from me will cause me harm; and if You hold it back from me, nothing granted to me will profit me.
I ask You to grant me release from the Hell-fire.
O‟ my Master! Please have Mercy on me regarding the chains, yokes and blazing Fire! Please have Mercy on me regarding Zaqqum1 food and burning drink. Please have mercy on me regarding Hell as its torture is eternal, continous and everlasting.
Do not punish me while I ask You to forgive me. Do not deprive me while I beg of You. I ask You for Paradise and whatever lies therein.


وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ وَ مَا جَمَعْتَ اللَّهُمَّ فَزَوِّجْنِي مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِمَّنْ‌ يَأْتِي آمِناً يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ إِنِّي لِما أَنْزَلْتَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَقِيرٌ اللَّهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ ابْدَأْ بِمُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ فِي كُلِّ خَيْرٍ مِنْ خَيْرِ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ.

Additional Farewell dua from Iqbal Aamal by Imam Sadiq (as)

Al-Sheikh Abu Ja‟far al-Tusi – may God have mercy upon him – said the following in his own handwriting in his original book from which I have reported this farewell supplication. Al-Kolayni narrated it and Ibrahim ibn Ishaq al-Ahmary narrated it on the authority of Abdullah ibn Himad al-Ansary, on the authority of Abi Basir. The same supplication has also been reported by some of his companions, on the authority of Sa‟dan ibn Muslim, on the authority of Abi Basir, on the authority of Abi Abdullah As-Sadiq (as) with the following.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَحَبِّ مَا دُعِيتَ بِهِ وَ أَرْضَى مَا رَضِيتَ بِهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
“O‟ my God! I ask You by the most beloved supplications that You have ever been called and by the most pleasing thing ever with which You were pleased with being Muhammad and his Progeny (as). I ask You to bestow Your Blessings on Muhammad and his Progeny (as).

وَ لَا تَجْعَلْ وَدَاعِي وَدَاعَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَدَاعَ خُرُوجِي مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَ لَا وَدَاعَ آخِرِ عِبَادَتِكَ فِيهِ وَ لَا آخِرِ صَوْمِي لَكَ
Please do not let this farewell be the farewell to the month of Ramadhan or the farewell to this world, or the last farewell in Your Worship, or the last fasting for You.

O’ my God! I ask You since it is the prerogative of a servant to make a demand from his Lord. Your Servants do not turn to anyone else like You, to ask for kindness and generosity. I desire You and desire no one else like You. You are He who settles the needs of those who ask.

اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَدَعْ لِي فِيهِ ذَنْباً إِلَّا غَفَرْتَهُ وَ لَا خَطِيئَةً إِلَّا مَحَوْتَهَا وَ لَا عَثْرَةً إِلَّا أَقَلْتَهَا وَ لَا دَيْناً إِلَّا قَضَيْتَهُ وَ لَا عَيْلَةً إِلَّا أَغْنَيْتَهَا وَ لَا هَمّاً إِلَّا فَرَّجْتَهُ وَ لَا فَاقَةً إِلَّا سَدَدْتَهَا وَ لَا عُرْياً [عريا] إِلَّا كَسَوْتَهُ وَ لَا مَرَضاً إِلَّا شَفَيْتَهُ وَ لَا دَاءً إِلَّا أَذْهَبْتَهُ وَ لَا حَاجَةً مِنْ حَوَائِجِ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا قَضَيْتَهَا عَلَى أَفْضَلِ أَمَلِي وَ رَجَائِي فِيكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
O‟ my God! Please do not let any sins be left for me that You have not forgiven, no offenses that You do not eliminate, no slippage that You do not remove, no debts that You do not reimburse, no family that You do not provide for, no griefs that You do not alleviate, no privation that You do not settle, no nakedness that You do not dress, no illness that You do not cure, and no ailments that You do not treat. There would be none of his needs in this world and the Hereafter that God would leave unfulfilled - O‟ the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.

اللَّهُمَ‌ لا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنا وَ لَا تُذِلَّنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ أَعْزَزْتَنَا وَ لَا تَضَعْنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ رَفَعْتَنَا وَ لَا تُهِنَّا بَعْدَ إِذْ أَكْرَمْتَنَا وَ لَا تُفْقِرْنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ أَغْنَيْتَنَا وَ لَا تَمْنَعْنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ أَعْطَيْتَنَا وَ لَا تَحْرِمْنَا بَعْدَ أَنْ [إِذْ] رَزَقْتَنَا وَ لَا تُغَيِّرْ شَيْئاً مِنْ نِعَمِكَ عَلَيْنَا وَ إِحْسَانِكَ إِلَيْنَا لِشَيْ‌ءٍ كَانَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِنَا وَ لَا لِمَا هُوَ كَائِنٌ مِنَّا فَإِنَّ فِي كَرَمِكَ وَ عَفْوِكَ وَ فَضْلِكَ سَعَةً لِمَغْفِرَةِ ذُنُوبِنَا فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَ تَجَاوَزْ عَنَّا وَ لَا تُعَاقِبْنَا عَلَيْهَا يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
“Our Lord! (they say), „Let not our hearts deviate now after You have guided us…‟1 Do not debase us after You have honored us. Do not lower us after You have raised us! Do not dishonor us after You have honored us! Do not make us poor after You have enriched us. Do not withhold from us after You have bestowed on us. Do not deprive us after You have blessed us with sustenance. Do not change any of Your Bounties for us due to any of our past or future sins.
Verily Your Benevolence, Pardoning and Nobility are extensive to forgive our sins, so please forgive us and overlook our faults and do not punish us for them. O‟ the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.

اللَّهُمَّ أَكْرِمْنِي فِي مَجْلِسِي هَذَا كَرَامَةً لَا تُهِينُنِي بَعْدَهَا أَبَداً وَ أَعِزَّنِي عِزّاً لَا تُذِلُّنِي بَعْدَهُ أَبَداً وَ عَافِنِي عَافِيَةً لَا تَبْتَلِينِي بَعْدَهَا أَبَداًوَ ارْفَعْنِي رِفْعَةً لَا تَضَعُنِي بَعْدَهَا أَبَداً
O‟ my God! Please grant me honor in this session such that it would never lower it afterwards. Please exalt me in such a way that You shall never debase me afterwards. Please give me well-being in such a way that You shall never make me suffer afterwards, and give me a high rank in such a way that You shall never lower it afterwards.

وَ اصْرِفْ عَنِّي شَرَّ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ مَرِيدٍ وَ شَرَّ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيدٍ وَ شَرَّ كُلِّ قَرِيبٍ أَوْ بَعِيدٍ وَ شَرَّ كُلِّ صَغِيرٍ أَوْ كَبِيرٍ وَ شَرَّ كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ أَنْتَ‌ آخِذٌ بِناصِيَتِها إِنَّ رَبِّي عَلى‌ صِراطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ‌
And safeguard me against the evils of all enimous oppressors; and the evils of all near and far, and the evils of all small and large, and the evils of all animals that You have control over as indeed my Lord is on the Straight Path.

اللَّهُمَّ مَا كَانَ فِي قَلْبِي مِنْ شَكَّ أَوْ رِيبَةٍ [ريبة] أَوْ جُحُودٍ أَوْ قُنُوطٍ أَوْ فَرَحٍ أَوْ مَرَحٍ [بَذَخٍ‌] أَوْ بَطَرٍ أَوْ خُيَلَاءَ أَوْ رِيَاءٍ أَوْ سُمْعَةٍ أَوْ شِقَاقٍ أَوْ نِفَاقٍ أَوْ كُفْرٍ أَوْ فُسُوقٍ أَوْ مَعْصِيَةٍ أَوْ شَيْ‌ءٍ لَا تُحِبُّ عَلَيْهِ وَلِيّاً لَكَ فَأَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَمْحُوَهُ مِنْ قَلْبِي وَ تُبَدِّلَنِي [تُبْدِلَنِي‌] مَكَانَهُ إِيمَاناً وَ رِضًا بِقَضَائِكَ وَ وَفَاءً بِعَهْدِكَ وَ وَجَلًا مِنْكَ وَ زُهْداً فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ رَغْبَةً فِيمَا عِنْدَكَ وَ ثِقَةً بِكَ وَ طُمَأْنِينَةً إِلَيْكَ وَ تَوْبَةً نَصُوحاً إِلَيْكَ
O‟ my God! Please remove whatever exists in my heart including doubt; disbelief or disappointment; excessive happiness or pleasure; extravagance or haughtiness; vanity; showing off; seeking fame; cruelty; hypocrisy; infidelism; transgression; or disobedience; or anything that Your Friends do not like. I ask You to remove it from my heart, and turn it into a place for faith in You, with satisfaction with Your certain Will, inspiration to fulfill my covenant with You and fearing You, abstaining from this world, desiring what is with You, and trust in You, tranquility and sincere repentance towards You.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ بَلَّغْتَنَاهُ وَ إِلَّا فَأَخِّرْ آجَالَنَا إِلَى قَابِلٍ حَتَّى تُبَلِّغَنَاهُ فِي يُسْرٍ مِنْكَ وَ عَافِيَةٍ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ كَثِيراً وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ.

O‟ my God! O‟ my God! If you let us experience the next month, it is fine. However, if it is the end of our life, please let us experience the next month of Ramadhan with ease and well-being for me provided by You. O‟ the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful. Please bestow a lot of Your Blessings on Muhmmad and his Progeny – May God‟s peace, mercy and blessings be upon him.‟

Imam Zainul Abideen(as) Dua No 45 from Sahifa Sajjadia-Bidding Farewell to the Holy Month of Ramadan -seperate page
This supplication is one of the masterpieces of the Ṣaḥīfah al-Sajjādiyyah. It is a supplication bidding adieu to the blessed month of fasting and self-reformation, a month that is beloved by the friends of Allah. As such, the supplication is read with the sorrow and sadness, just as one would grieve when saying goodbye to an intimate companion or a near relative leaving for a year-long journey.

لِكَيْلاَ يَهْلِكَ عَلَيْكَ هَالِكُهُمْ،
likay-laa yah-lika a'lay-ka haalikuhum

40.for You hast said (blessed is Your Name and high art You exalted),

(مَنْ جَاءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُ عَشْرُ أَمْثَالِهَا
(man jaaa-a bil-h'asanati falahoo a'sh-ru am-thaalihaa
41."Whoso brings a good deed shall have ten the like of it,

وَمَنْ جَاءَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ فَلاَ يُجْزى إلاّ مِثْلَهَا)
waman jaaa-a bis-say-yi-ati falaa yuj-zaaa il-laa mith-lahaa)
42.and whoso brings an evil deed shall only be recompensed the like of it" (6:160).

وَقُلْتَ: (مَثَلُ الَّذِينَ يُنْفِقُونَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ الله كَمَثَلِ حَبَّة
wa qul-t: (mathalul-lad'eena yunfiqoona am-waalahum fee sabeelil-laahee kamathali h'ab-batin
43.You hast said, "The likeness of those who expend their wealth in the way of God is as the likeness of a grain of corn

أَنْبَتَتْ سَبْعَ سَنَابِلَ فِي كُلِّ سُنْبُلَة مَائَةُ حَبَّة

44.that sprouts seven ears, in every ear a hundred grains;

وَالله يُضَاعِفُ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ)

وَقُلْتَ: (مَنْ ذَا الَّذِيْ يُقْرِضُ الله قَرْضاً حَسَنَاً

فَيُضَاعِفَهُ لَهُ أضْعَافاً كَثِيرَةً)
fayuz''aai'fahoo lahooo az''-a'afana katheeratah)
47.and He will multiply it for him manifold" (2:245)?

وَمَا أَنْزَلْتَ مِنْ نَظَائِرِهِنَّ فِي الْقُرْآنِ مِنْ تَضَاعِيفِ الْحَسَنَاتِ،
wa maaa anzal-ta min naz'aaa-irihin-na fil-qur-aaani min taz''aae'efil-h'asanaat
48.And You hast sent down in the Qur'an similar verses on the multiplying of good deeds.

وَأَنْتَ الَّذِي دَلَلْتَهُمْ بِقَوْلِكَ مِنْ غَيْبِكَ وَتَرْغِيْبِكَ
wa antal-lad'ee dalal-tahum biqaw-lika min ghay-bika wa tar-gheebika
49.It is You who hast pointed them through Your speech from Your Unseen and Your encouragement

lad'ee feehee h'az'-z'uhum a'laa maa law satar-tahoo a'n-hum
50.in which lies their good fortune toward that which - hadst You covered it from them

لَمْ تُدْرِكْهُ أَبْصَارُهُمْ وَلَمْ تَعِـهِ أَسْمَاعُهُمْ

وَلَمْ تَلْحَقْـهُ أَوْهَامُهُمْ
wa lam tal-h'aq-hooo aw-haamuhum-
52.and their imaginations would not have grasped,

فَقُلْتَ: (اذْكُرُونِي أَذْكُرْكُمْ وَاشْكُرُوا لِيْ وَلا تَكْفُرُونِ)
faqul-ta: (ud'-kurooneee ad'-kur-kum- wa ash-kuroo lee wa laa tak-furoon)
53.for You hast said, "Remember Me and I will remember you be thankful to Me, and be you not thankless towards Me" (2:152)!

وَقُلْتَ: (لَئِنْ شَكَـرْتُمْ لازِيدَنَّكمْ
waqul-ta: (la-in shakar-tum laazeedan-nakum
54.You hast said, "If you are thankful, surely I will increase you,

وَلَئِنْ كَفَـرْتُمْ إنَّ عَذابِيْ لَشَدِيدٌ)
wala-in kafar-tum in-na a'd'aabee lashadeed)
55.but if you are thankless, My chastisement is surely terrible" (14:7);

وَقُلْتَ : (ادْعُونِيْ أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ
wa qul-ta: (ud-u'wneee as-tajib lakum
56.And You hast said, "Supplicate Me and I will respond to you,

إنَّ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِي
in-nal-lad'eena yas-tak-biroona a'n i'baadatee
57.surely those who wax too proud to worship Me

سَيَدْخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِينَ)
sayad-khuloona jahan-nama daakhireen)
58.shall enter Gehenna utterly abject" (40:60).

فَسَمَّيْتَ دُعَاءَكَ عِبَادَةً، وَتَرْكَهُ اسْتِكْبَاراً،
fasam-may-ta dua'aa-aka i'baadah wa tar-kahoo as-tik-baaraa
59.Hence You hast named supplicating You 'worship' and refraining from it 'waxing proud',

وَتَوَعَّدْتَ عَلَى تَرْكِهِ دُخُولَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِينَ،
wa tawaa'-a't-ta a'laa tar-kihee dukhoola jahan-nama daakhireen
60.and You hast threatened that the refraining from it would yield entrance into Gehenna in utter abjection.

فَذَكَرُوكَ بِمَنِّكَ وَشَكَرُوكَ بِفَضْلِكَ،
fad'akarooka biman-nik wa shakarooka bifaz''-lik
61.So they remember You for Your kindness, they thank You for Your bounty,

وَدَعَوْكَ بِأَمْرِكَ،
wa daa'w-ka bi m-rik
62.they supplicate You by Your command,

وَتَصَدَّقُوا لَكَ طَلَباً لِمَزِيدِكَ،
wa tas'ad-daqoo laka t'alabal-limazeedik
63.and they donate for You in order to seek Your increase;

وَفِيهَا كَانَتْ نَجَاتُهُمْ مِنْ غَضَبِكَ،
wa feehaa kaanat najaatuhum min ghaz''abik
64.in all this lies their deliverance from Your wrath

وَفَوْزُهُمْ بِرِضَاكَ،
wa faw-zuhum biriz''aak
65.and their triumph through Your good pleasure.

وَلَوْ دَلَّ مَخْلُوقٌ مَخْلُوقاً مِنْ نَفْسِهِ
wa law dal-la makh-looqum-makh-looqam-min-naf-sihee
66.Were any creature himself to direct another creature

عَلَى مِثْلِ الَّذِيْ دَلَلْتَ عَلَيْهِ عِبَادَكَ مِنْكَ
a'laa mith-lil-lad'ee dalal-ta a'lay-hee i'baadaka minka
67.to the like of that to which You Yourself hast directed Your servants,

كَانَ مَوْصُوْفَاً بالإحْسَان

68.he would be described by beneficence,

فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ مَا وُجِدَ فِي حَمْدِكَ مَذْهَبٌ،
falakal-h'am-du maa wujida fee h'am-dika mad'-hab
70.So to You belongs praise as long as there is found a way to praise You

وَمَا بَقِيَ لِلْحَمْدِ لَفْظٌ تُحْمَدُ بِهِ وَمَعْنىً يَنْصَرفُ إلَيْهِ
wa maa baqee lil-h'am-di laf-z'un tuh'-madu bihee wa maa'-nana yans'arifu ilay-h
71.and as long as there remains for praising words by which You may be praised and meanings which may be spent in praise!

يَـا مَنْ تَحَمَّدَ إلَى عِبَـادِهِ بِالإِحْسَـانِ وَالْفَضْل،
yaa man tah'am-mada ilaa i'baadihee bil-ih'-saani wal-faz''-li
72.O He who shows Himself praiseworthy to His servants through beneficence and bounty,

وَغَمَرَهُمْ بِالْمَنِّ وَالطَّوْلِ،
wa ghamarahum bil-man-ni wat'-t'aw-l
73.flooding them with kindness and graciousness!

Another Long supplication in bidding farewell to the month of Ramadhan pg 613- Iqbal Aamal:
English PDF
وَجَدْنَاهُ فِي كُتُبِ الدَّعَوَاتِ‌
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ‌ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يُدْرِكُ الْعُلَمَاءُ عِلْمَهُ وَ لَا يَسْتَخِفُّ الْجُهَّالُ حِلْمَهُ وَ لَا يُحْسِنُ الْخَلَائِقُ وَصْفَهُ وَ لَا يَخْفَى عَلَيْهِ مَا فِي الصُّدُورِ
“In the Name of God, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful. Praise be to God, Whose Knowledge the knowledgeable ones cannot comprehend; whose Forbearance the ignorant cannot take lightly; whose Attributes the creatures cannot express well. Nothing that is in the hearts is hidden from Him.

خَلَقَ خَلْقَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَصْلٍ وَ لَا مِثَالٍ بِلَا تَعَبٍ وَ لَا نَصَبٍ وَ لَا تَعْلِيمٍ وَ رَفَعَ السَّمَاوَاتِ الْمَوْطُودَاتِ بِلَا أَصْحَابٍ وَ لَا أَعْوَانٍ وَ بَسَطَ الْأَرْضَ عَلَى الْهَوَاءِ بِغَيْرِ أَرْكَانٍ
He has created what He created without any original copy or sample; without any effort; difficulty or being taught. He raised up the supported heavens with no companions or supporters. He expanded the earth in the air without any pillars.

عَلِمَ بِلَا تَعْلِيمٍ [بِغَيْرِ تَعْلِيمٍ‌] وَ خَلَقَ بِلَا مِثَالٍ عِلْمُهُ بِخَلْقِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُكَوِّنَهُمْ كَعِلْمِهِ بِهِمْ بَعْدَ تَكْوِينِهِ لَهُمْ لَمْ يَخْلُقِ الْخَلْقَ لِتَشْدِيدِ سُلْطَانٍ وَ لَا لِخَوْفٍ مِنْ زَوَالٍ وَ لَا نُقْصَانٍ وَ لَا اسْتَعَانَ بِخَلْقِهِ عَلَى ضِدٍّ مُكَابِرٍ وَ لَا نِدٍّ مُشَاوِرٍ
He knew without being taught and created without any samples! His Knoweldge of their creation before they were formed is like His Knowledge of them after bringing them about. He did not create the creatures to expand His Authority, or due to fear of ending or diminishing. He did not seek help from His creatures against evils and did not seek their advice.

مَا لِسُلْطَانِهِ حَدٌّ وَ لَا لِمُلْكِهِ نَفَادٌ تَقَدَّسَ بِنُورِ قُدْسِهِ دَنَا فَعَلا وَ عَلَا فَدَنَا فَلَهُ
There are no limits to His Authority and there is no termination for His Dominion. He is Sacred by His Own Sacred Light! He is close thus He is High! He is High thus He is close!

الْحَمْدُ حَمْداً يَنْتَهِي مِنْ سَمَائِهِ إِلَى مَا لَا نِهَايَةَ فِي اعْتِلَائِهِ حَسُنَ فَعَالُهُ وَ عَظُمَ جَلَالُهُ وَ أُوضِحَ بُرْهَانُهُ
Praise belongs to Him – a praise that is beyond the extent of the highest place in His heavens! His Deeds are good, His Majesty is great, and His Proofs are clear.

فَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ زِنَةَ الْجِبَالِ ثِقْلًا وَ عَدَدَ الْمَاءِ وَ الثَّرَى وَ عَدَدَ مَا يُرَى وَ عَدَدَ مَا لَا يُرَى
Praise belongs to Him. Praise that is as heavy as the mountains, as much as there is water and sand, and as many as there are seen and unseen things.

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي كَانَ إِذْ لَمْ تَكُنْ أَرْضٌ مَدْحِيَّةٌ وَ لَا سَمَاءٌ مَبْنِيَّةٌ وَ لَا جِبَالٌ مُرْسَيَةً وَ لَا شَمْسٌ تَجْرِي وَ لَا قَمَرٌ يَسْرِي وَ لَا لَيْلٌ يُدْجَى وَ لَا نَهَارٌ يُضَحَّى [يَضْحَى‌] اكْتَفَى بِحَمْدِهِ عَنْ حَمْدِ غَيْرِهِ
Praise be to God, Who existed when there was no earth that was extended, no sky that was raised, no mountains that were firm, no sun to shine, no moon to go around, no night to darken, no day to brighten, and He sufficed with His Own Praise than the praise of others.

الْحَمْدُ الَّذِي تَفَرَّدَ بِالْحَمْدِ وَ دَعَا بِهِ فَهُوَ وَلِيُّ الْحَمْدِ وَ مُنْشِئُهُ وَ خَالِقُهُ وَ وَاهِبُهُ مَلَكَ فَقَهَرَ وَ حَكَمَ فَعَدَلَ وَ أَضَاءَ فَاسْتَنَارَ هُوَ كَهْفُ الْحَمْدِ وَ قَرَارُهُ وَ مِنْهُ مُبْتَدَاهُ وَ إِلَيْهِ مُنْتَهَاهُ اسْتَخْلَصَ الْحَمْدَ لِنَفْسِهِ وَ رَضِيَ بِهِ مِمَّنْ حَمِدَهُ
Praise be to God who Praised himself and invited others to praise Him. He is the Guardian of Praise and its originator!
He is its creator and its bestower! He rules thus subdues. He decrees thus is Just! He shines thus brightens! He is the Shelter of Praise and its station! Praise started with Him and ends in Him. He purified Praise for Himself. He is pleased with those who praise Him.

فَهُوَ الْوَاحِدُ بِلَا نِسْبَةٍ الدَّائِمُ بِلَا مُدَّةٍ الْمُتَفَرِّدُ بِالْقُوَّةِ الْمُتَوَحِّدُ بِالْقُدْرَةِ لَمْ يَزَلْ مُلْكُهُ عَظِيماً وَ مَنُّهُ قَدِيماً وَ قَوْلُهُ رَحِيماً وَ أَسْمَاؤُهُ ظَاهِرَةً رَضِيَ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ بَعْدَ الصُّنْعِ أَنْ قَالُوا الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ‌
Thus He is the Only without any relatives; He is the Eternal without any period; He is Unique in Might and One in Power! His Great Rule does not end; His Favors are everlasting; His words are Merciful; His Names are Apparent and He is pleased with His servants after creating them just if they say, „Praise be to God!, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds;‟1

وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ مِثْلَ جَمِيعِ مَا خَلَقَ وَ زِنَتَهُ وَ أَضْعَافَ ذَلِكَ أَضْعَافاً لَا تُحْصَى عَلَى جَمِيعِ نِعَمِهِ وَ عَلَى مَا هَدَانَا وَ آتَانَا وَ قَوَّانَا بِمَنِّهِ عَلَى صِيَامِ شَهْرِنَا هَذَا وَ مَنَّ عَلَيْنَا بِقِيَامِ بَعْضِ لَيْلِهِ وَ آتَانَا مَا لَمْ نَسْتَأْهِلْهُ وَ لَمْ نَسْتَوْجِبْهُ بِأَعْمَالِنَا فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ
God‟s Praise is like all of His creation, as heavy as they are, and even many times more so much that it cannot be counted. Praise to Him from all His Blessings to us, for guiding us, granting to us, strengthening us and for His Favoring us with the fasting of this month, and for His Favoring us with staying up on some of the nights, and forgiving us what we do not deserve and what we do not earn with our deeds. All Praise belongs to You.

اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا فَأَنْتَ مَنَنْتَ عَلَيْنَا فِي شَهْرِنَا هَذَا بِتَرْكِ لَذَّاتِنَا وَ اجْتِنَابِ شَهَوَاتِنَا وَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ مَنِّكَ عَلَيْنَا لَا مِنْ مَنِّنَا [لَا مَنٍّ مِنَّا] عَلَيْكَ
O‟ my God! O‟ our Lord! You have favored us in this month with abstaining from our pleasures, avoiding lustful desires, and this is a favor from You to us, not from us to You.


رَبَّنَا فَلَيْسَ أَعْظَمُ الْأَمْرَيْنِ عَلَيْنَا نُحُولَ أَجْسَامِنَا وَ نَصْبَ أَبْدَانِنَا وَ لَكِنْ أَعْظَمُ الْأَمْرَيْنِ وَ أَجَلُّ الْمَصَائِبِ عِنْدَنَا مَا إِنْ [أَنْ‌] خَرَجْنَا مِنْ شَهْرِنَا هَذَا مُحْتَقِبِينَ بِالْخَيْبَةِ [الْخَيْبَةَ] مَحْرُومِينَ قَدْ خَابَ طَمَعُنَا وَ كَذَبَ ظَنُّنَا
O‟ our Lord! The greatest two things is not for our bodies to get thin and for us to become weak!
Rather, the greatest two things and the worst calamity for us is to let us depart from this month being disappointed and deprived with our aspirations failed and our suspicion turned to be untrue.

فَيَا مَنْ لَهُ صُمْنَا وَ وَعْدَهُ صَدَّقْنَا وَ أَمْرَهُ اتَّبَعْنَا وَ إِلَيْهِ رَغِبْنَا لَا تَجْعَلِ الْحِرْمَانَ حَظَّنَا وَ لَا الْخَيْبَةَ جَزَاءَنَا فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ حَرَمْتَنَا فَأَهْلُ ذَلِكَ نَحْنُ لِسُوءِ صَنِيعِنَا وَ كَثْرَةِ خَطَايَانَا وَ إِنْ تَعْفُ عَنَّا
We fasted during it for You, we certified Your Promise, followed Your Orders, and turned to You. So please do not let our share be deprivation, our reward be disappointment. Indeed if You deprive us, we deserve it for our bad deeds and many wrongdoings.

رَبَّنَا وَ تَقْضِ حَوَائِجَنَا فَأَنْتَ أَهْلُ ذَلِكَ مَوْلَانَا فَطَالَ مَا بِالْعَفْوِ عِنْدَ الذُّنُوبِ اسْتَقْبَلْتَنَا وَ بِالرَّحْمَةِ لَدَى اسْتِيجَابِ عُقُوبَتِكَ أَدْرَكْتَنَا وَ بِالتَّجَاوُزِ وَ السَّتْرِ عِنْدَ ارْتِكَابِ مَعَاصِيكَ كَافَيْتَنَا وَ بِالضَّعْفِ وَ الْوَهْنِ وَ كَثْرَةِ الذُّنُوبِ وَ الْعَوْدِ فِيهَا عَرَّفْتَنَا وَ بِالتَّجَاوُزِ وَ الْعَفْوِ عَرَفْنَاكَ
O‟ our Lord! Pardon us and fulfill our needs as You – our Master – are such! You welcomed us often with Pardoning when we sinned! You blessed us with Your Mercy when we deserved Your Punishment! You rewarded us with overlooking and covering up when we committed acts of Your Disobedience. You have introduced us with weakness, sluggishness, many sins, and returning to sins. And we have known You for overlooking and pardoning.

رَبَّنَا فَمُنَّ عَلَيْنَا بِعَفْوِكَ يَا كَرِيمُ فَقَدْ عَظُمَ [عَظُمَتْ‌] مُصِيبَتُنَا وَ كَثُرَ أَسَفُنَا عَلَى مُفَارَقَةِ شَهْرٍ كَبُرَ فِيهِ أَمَلُنَا قَدْ خَفِيَ عَلَيْنَا عَلَى أَيِّ الْحَالاتِ فَارَقْنَا وَ بِأَيِّ الزَّادِ مِنْهُ خَرَجْنَا بِاحْتِقَابِ الْخَيْبَةِ لِسُوءِ صَنِيعِنَا بِجَزِيلِ عَطَائِكَ بِمَنِّكَ مَوْلَانَا
O‟ our Lord! Please favor us with Your Pardon! O‟ the All-Generous! Indeed our calamity is great and we are really sorry to be departing from this month – the month in which we had great expectations! It has been hidden from us how we departed from it and with which benefits we departed from it. Was it attaining deprivation due to our bad deeds or was it Your Abundant Gifts due to Your Favor? O‟ Our Guardian!


وَ سَيِّدَنَا فَعَلَى شَهْرِ صَوْمِنَا الْعَظِيمِ فِيهِ رَجَاؤُنَا السَّلَامُ فَلَوْ عَقَلْنَا مُصِيبَتَنَا لِمُفَارَقَةِ شَهْرِ أَيَّامِ صَوْمِنَا عَلَى ضَعْفِ اجْتِهَادِنَا فِيهِ لَاشْتَدَّ لِذَلِكَ حُزْنُنَا وَ عَظُمَ عَلَى مَا فَاتَنَا فِيهِ مِنَ الِاجْتِهَادِ تَلَهُّفُنَا
O‟ our Master! So farewell to the grand month of fasting in which we have great hopes! Had we realized our great calamity for departing from the month of fasting due to our weak striving during it, we would have become really sad and sorry for not having tried harder during it.


اللَّهُمَّ فَاجْعَلْ عِوَضَنَا مِنْ شَهْرِ صَوْمِنَا مَغْفِرَتَكَ وَ رَحْمَتَكَ
O‟ my God! Please let our reward from the month of fasting be Your Forgiveness and Mercy.

رَبَّنَا وَ إِنْ كُنْتَ رَحِمْتَنَا فِي شَهْرِنَا هَذَا فَذَلِكَ ظَنُّنَا وَ أَمَلُنَا وَ تِلْكَ حَاجَتُنَا فَازْدَدْ عَنَّا رِضًا
O‟ our Lord! If You have Mercy on us in this month it would be exactly what we think of and expect. This is our demand so please add to Your Satisfaction with us.


وَ إِنْ كُنَّا حُرِمْنَا ذَلِكَ بِذُنُوبِنَا فَمِنَ الْآنَ رَبَّنَا لَا تُفَرِّقْ جَمَاعَتَنَا حَتَّى تَشْهَدَ لَنَا بِعِتْقِنَا وَ تُعْطِيَنَا فَوْقَ أَمَلِنَا وَ تَزِيدَنَا فَوْقَ طَلِبَتِنَا وَ تَجْعَلَ شَهْرَنَا هَذَا أَمَاناً لَنَا مِنْ عَذَابِكَ وَ عِصْمَةً لَنَا مَا أَبْقَيْتَنَا
However, if You deprive us of this due to our sins, please do not disperse us right now until You testify to our release from Hell and grant us more than we demand and add to it even more than we expect.


وَ إِنْ أَنْتَ بَلَّغْتَنَا شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ أَيْضاً فَبَلِّغْنَا غَيْرَ عَائِدِينَ فِي شَيْ‌ءٍ مِمَّا تُكْرَهُ وَ لَا مُخَالِفِينَ لِشَيْ‌ءٍ مِمَّا تُحِبُّ ثُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِيهِ وَ اجْعَلْنَا أَسْعَدَ أَهْلِهِ بِهِ
Please let this month be a means of our immunity from Your Punishment and protection for as long as we live. If you let us get to the next month of Ramadhan, let us experience it without a single instance of what displeases You and without opposing things that You Like. Then please bless us during it and let us be prosperous in it.

وَ إِنْ أَتَتْ آجَالُنَا دُونَ ذَلِكَ فَاجْعَلِ الْجَنَّةَ مُنْقَلَبَنَا وَ مَصِيرَنَا وَ اجْعَلْ شَهْرَنَا هَذَا أَمَاناً لَنَا مِنْ أَهْوَالِ مَا يَرِدُ عَلَيْنَا [نَرِدُ عَلَيْهِ‌] وَ اجْعَلْ خُرُوجَنَا إِلَى مُصَلَّانَا وَ مُجْتَمَعِنَا خُرُوجاً مِنْ جَمِيعِ ذُنُوبِنَا وَ وُلُوجاً فِي سَابِغَاتِ رَحْمَتِكَ
However, if the end of our life comes before the next month of Ramadhan, please let Paradise be for our afterlife and our final return. Please let this month be a month of security from our woes for us, and let our departure from our place of praying and congregation be departure from all our sins and entry into Your Abundant Mercy.

وَ اجْعَلْنَا أَوْجَهَ مَنْ تَوَجَّهَ إِلَيْكَ وَ أَقْرَبَ مَنْ تَقَرَّبَ إِلَيْكَ وَ أَنْجَحَ مَنْ سَأَلَكَ فَأَعْطَيْتَهُ وَ دَعَاكَ فَأَجَبْتَهُ وَ اقْلِبْنَا مِنْ مُصَلَّانَا وَ قَدْ غَفَرْتَ لَنَا مَا سَلَفَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِنَا وَ عَصَمْتَنَا فِي بَقِيَّةِ أَعْمَارِنَا وَ أَسْعَفْتَنَا بِحَوَائِجِنَا وَ أَعْطَيْتَنَا جَمِيعَ خَيْرِ الْآخِرَةِ وَ الدُّنْيَا ثُمَّ لَا تُعِدْنَا فِي ذَنْبٍ وَ لَا مَعْصِيَةٍ أَبَداً وَ لَا تُطْعِمْنَا رِزْقاً تَكْرَهُهُ أَبَداً
Please let us be of the most honored of those who have turned to You, the closest of those who have sought Your Proximity, the most successful of those who have begged You whose prayers You have fulfilled. Please let us depart from this place of praying having forgiven our past sins, protecting us in the rest of our lives, having fulfilled our demands and having granted us both in this world and the Hereafter. Please never again let us return to sins.

وَ اجْعَلْ لَنَا فِي الْحَلَالِ مَفْسَحاً وَ مُتَّسَعاً
O‟ my God! Please never provide us with sustenance that You dislike and let our share of legitimately earned sustenance be vast.

اللَّهُمَّ وَ نَبِيَّكَ الْمُحَبَّبَ الْمُكَرَّمَ الرَّاسِخَ لَهُ فِي قُلُوبِ أُمَّتِهِ خَالِصِي الْمَحَبَّةِ لِصَفْوِ نَصِيحَتِهِ لَهُمْ وَ شِدَّةِ شَفَقَتِهِ [شفقته‌] عَلَيْهِمْ وَ لِتَبْلِيغِهِ رِسَالاتِكَ وَ صَبْرِهِ فِي ذَاتِكَ وَ تَحَنُّنِهِ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ فَاجْزِهِ
O‟ my God! Please bestow rewards on Your honorable and noble Prophet (as) whose love is rooted in the hearts of his nation for his sincere advice, extreme love, delivery of Your Message, perseverance for Your Sake, and tenderness with the believers from amongst Your Servants.

اللَّهُمَّ عَنَّا أَفْضَلَ مَا جَزَيْتَ نَبِيّاً عَنْ أُمَّتِهِ وَ صَلِّ عَلَيْهِ عَدَدَ كَلِمَاتِكَ التَّامَّاتِ أَنْتَ وَ مَلَائِكَتُكَ وَ ارْفَعْهُ إِلَى أَعْلَى الدَّرَجِ وَ أَشْرَفِ الْغُرَفِ حَيْثُ يَغْبِطُهُ الْأَوَّلُونَ وَ الْآخِرُونَ وَ أَنْضِرْ وُجُوهَنَا بِالنَّظَرِ إِلَيْهِ فِي جِنَانِكَ وَ أَقِرَّ أَعْيُنَنَا وَ أَنِلْنَا مِنْ حَوْضِهِ رَيّاً لَا ظَمَأَ بَعْدَهُ وَ لَا شَقَاءَ وَ بَلِّغْ رُوحَهُ مِنْكَ تَحِيَّةً وَ سَلَاماً مِنَّا فَنَشْهَدُ [مُسْتَشْهَداً] لَهُ بِالْبَلَاغِ وَ النَّصِيحَةِ
O‟ my God! Please bestow on him the best of Your Rewards granted to any of the Prophets (as) to his nation.

Please brighten our faces by looking at him in Your Paradise, light up our eyes, and we testify for him to have delivered and given admonition.

اللَّهُمَّ وَ صَلِّ عَلَى جَمِيعِ أَنْبِيَائِكَ وَ رُسُلِكَ وَ بَلِّغْ أَرْوَاحَهُمْ مِنَّا السَّلَامَ وَ شَهَادَتَنَا لَهُمْ بِالنَّصِيحَةِ وَ الْبَلَاغِ وَ صَلِّ عَلَى مَلَائِكَتِكَ أَجْمَعِينَ وَ اجْزِ نَبِيَّنَا عَنَّا أَفْضَلَ الْجَزَاءِ

O‟ my God! Please forgive us and our progeny – those believing men and women whether dead or alive. Please let our past generations who believe benefit from comfort and mercy, light and forgiveness.

O‟ my God! Please grant victory to the troops of the Muslims, and release their captives. Let Your Reward to them be the Blissful Paradise.

O‟ my God! Please shorten the long distance away from home for the pilgrims of Your Sacred House; ease their grief and sadness and let them return amongst those who benefit from every good deed, with all their sins forgiven.

O‟ my God! Please grant us the totality of the good of this world and the Hereafter and safeguard us from their evil. O‟ the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.‟ ”

A Point about Saying Goodbye to the Month of Ramadhan -Iqbal Aamal

If one asks and says: “What is the meaning of saying goodbye to the month of Ramadhan although the month of Ramadhan is lifeless, we say that: „The wise people before the Prophet (MGB), at his time and later always speak with the land, the homeland, youth, good times, safety and goodness. When Islamic literature appeared, it approved what the intellect and understanding decree given the fact that even the Holy Qur‟an used the same style where the Honorable the Exalted God says: “One Day We will ask Hell, “Art You filled to the full?” It will say,“Are there any more (to come)?”1 As you consider, the Noble Qur‟an informs them that Hell spoke. And the meaning of this is that it spoke with the mute tongue. There are many similar instances to this in the Noble Qur‟an, in the words of the Noble Prophet (MGB) and the Divine Leaders (MGB) - may God‟s greetings be upon them – and the words of the learned ones. And there is no need to elongate this for the wise people.
Based upon this, also the mute tongue of those who pay attention to the month of Ramadhan from among the believers and the Muslims do better than those who addressed the lands and the homelands. They benefit more from it than their relatives and the month of Ramadhan is more important to them than lands and art works. Now they are forced to say farewell to it at the time of separating from the month of Ramadhan.

Saying farewell to the month of Ramadhan needs more explanation since those who say farewell to it are in several groups as follows.

One group of them pursue attaining God‟s Wants and observe the etiquette of this month in public and private. They say farewell to the month of fasting like those who were loyal and kept their promise. They do so as the farewell supplications of our Master Zayn al-Abedin (as) with the month of Ramadhan are.

Another group have acted according to God‟s Wants sometimes and have kept distance with its requirements with negligence or disobedience at other times. They should not say farewell to this month if they have not observed the fasting etiquette at its end since those who are separate from each other never say farewell to each other. The mind and the intellect require that one should say farewell to those who are in agreement with us. However, if they were behaving well when the month of Ramadhan ends, then they may say farewell to it to according to how much they respected it. Moreover, they should ask for forgiveness from God, become regretful for how they were in that month, and at the time of saying farewell, they should regret a lot for the fact that they have sometimes misbehaved during it.

Another group do not spend the month of Ramadhan with sincerity. Rather, some are unhappy since the month of Ramadhan prevents them from their habits of taking God‟s Remembrance lightly while God is aware of the unseen. In reality, these people were not with the month of Ramadhan to say farewell to it. Rather, when the month of Ramadhan had landed near their house, they were not a good neighbor for it. They disliked it and they treated it badly. Thus, it does not make sense for them to say farewell to the month of Ramadhan and whatever they say shall not even be heard.
O‟ man! Do not be like one to whom a needless guest enters – an important guest who has not come from there since last year – and he gives you blessings and forgiveness plus many gifts, fulfillment of your demands and attention that cannot be expressed in words. Do not be a bad host for that generous guest, do not mistreat him, debase him or treat him like a bad guest. If you do so, the guest may leave you while blaming you and you will be disgraced and regretful. Thus, either be good with him and recognize the rights of this guest who has brought along prosperity, mercy, kindness and safety from fears or at least be neutral with him. Thus, do not treat him badly and with impoliteness because you ruin yourself with your bad deeds, and you become infamous near the kings and the generous ones who have attained safety and Divine Pleasure.

Regarding the time of saying farewell with the fasting month, the following is reported on the authority of one of the Divine Leaders (MGB) in a book by a group of our scholars. It was written in a letter in which the questions of a group of the important narrators have been discussed was asked is as follows.“When is the time of saying farewell to the month of Ramadhan; because our companions have disagreement about this. Some say: “It is on its last night.” “And some say, „It is on its last day when the crescent moon of the month of Sha‟wal is seen.‟ ”
The answer: “The deeds of the month of Ramadhan are on its nights, the farewell is on its last night. However, if you fear that the month may end in less than thirty days, you should say farewell on two nights.”
This was the exact text of the narration that we had obtained and quoted. Thus, try to correct your inner self at the time of saying farewell with the month of Ramadhan since man sees his state. Choose the best time to say farewell to the virtue which existed in the month of Ramadhan. Do so in the best time on the last night as it was written in the past narration. However, if it is not possible on the last night, say farewell to it in the last moments of the last day of separating from the month of Ramadhan. Based upon this, anytime you had a good month of Ramadhan, express farewell to it on its last day or night like you say farewell to your intimate and loyal friends who recognize the right of a good guest: And regret for separating from it to the extent which you lose the benefits and rewards of a party. Cry and shed tears as you would do so when friends separate from each other after gathering together.
Al-Sheikh Ja‟far ibn Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn al-Abbas ibn Muhammad al-Duristy narrated in the book Kitab al-Husna, through a chain of documents on the authority of Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari:
“I went to see God‟s Prophet (MGB) on the last Friday of the month of Ramadhan. Once he (MGB) saw me, he (MGB) said, “O‟ Jabir! This is the last Friday of the month of Ramadhan. Bid farewell to it and say the following:
„O‟ my God! Please do not make this the last month of Ramadhan in our lifetime. However, if You decide to do so, then please let me enjoy Your Mercy and do not deprive me of it.‟ ” Indeed whoever recites this shall gain two benefits: He either lives to the next month of Ramadhan or is forgiven by God with His Mercy.
