Month of Dhi l-Qada

Spiritual Practices and Devotions

Shia believers engage in a variety of spiritual practices throughout Dhi l-Qada. One of the most salient practices is the supplication known as “Dua al-Muqaddasah,” which is recited with the intention of seeking divine mercy and guidance. This supplication serves as a conduit for spiritual reflection, allowing believers to commune with their Creator in a sincere and humble manner.

Moreover, the recitation of the Quran is emphasized during this month, with many devout individuals dedicating extra time towards understanding and memorizing verses. This act of engagement with the Quran fosters a deeper comprehension of Islamic teachings and reinforces the connection to the divine revelations received by the Prophet Muhammad. The month is also a time for self-reflection, encouraging believers to assess their actions and align them more closely with Islamic values.
