THE FOUR ESSENTIALS
OF RAMADAN
“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
1. recite the kalima tayyiba (la ilaha illa Allah)
2. and make much istighfar.
And as for those two without which you cannot make do:
3. you should beseech Allah for entry into paradise
4. and seek refuge with Him from the fire of
Jahannam” (Shu‘ab al-Iman).
