Beyond obligatory prayers, the month of Ramazan is a time for intensive supplication. Du’as are personal prayers made to Allah, encompassing a range of requests — from forgiveness to strength in faith. Several specific supplications are particularly recommended during this holy month. Among them is the “Du’a al-iftitah,” which is recited during the nights of Ramazan and highlights themes of divine mercy and justice.
3. Salawat (Sending Blessings upon the Prophet and his Family)
Shia teachings emphasize sending blessings (Salawat) upon Prophet Muhammad and his revered family. This practice invokes spiritual merit and reinforces one’s connection to the prophetic tradition. It is common to recite Salawat frequently during Ramazan, particularly in the evenings after prayers, serving as a reminder of the sacrifices made by the Ahlulbayt for the sake of Islam.
