Peace be upon you, O
month of Daytime Fasting!
Peace be upon you, O
month of Nighttime Vigil!
Peace be upon you, O
month of True Faith!
Peace be upon you, O
month of the Qur’an!
Peace be upon you, O
month of the Radiant Lights!
Peace be upon you, O
month of Forgiveness and Pardon!
Peace be upon you, O month of the ascending steps of Paradise and Of Salvation from the descending steps of Hell!
Peace be upon you, O
month of the Worshipful Penitents!
Peace be upon you, O
month of those who know from Spiritual Experience!
Peace be upon you, O
month of those who exercise Discriminating Judgment!
Peace be upon you, O
month of Safety and Security!
You are a prison for
disobedient sinners, and for the truly devout you are a place of comfort.
Peace be upon the
lamps and lanterns that shine so bright! Peace be upon the sleepless eyes, and
upon the streaming tears! Peace be upon the illuminated niches in the mosques,
and upon the tears that are spilled and shed! Peace be upon the sighs that
arise from hearts that are aflame!
[Excerpts from the
famous saint of Baghdad Shareef Hazrat Shaiekh Abdul Qaadir Jeelani’s [Rahmatul Laah Alaieh]book
Sufficient Provision for the Seekers of the Path of Truth, Vol. 3]
