Recommended amal and duas
Safar is the second month of the Islamic Calendar and has been a part of Islamic history since the early days of Islam. Some invalid beliefs see the month as bad luck and trouble. However, the Holy Prophetﷺ taught Muslims to place their trust in divine wisdom, rejecting the misconceptions. Here are some vital points about Safar to remember:
- It is just a normal month in the Islamic calendar
- There is no valid reference for the Month unlucky
- We should not believe in superstitious beliefs
- Trust in Allah SWT
- Engage in good deeds and sincere worship
Recommended Amal for the Month of Safar
Safar may not come with those exclusive divine rewards of Ramadan and Muharram, but it did provide excellent opportunities to increase divine rewards through regular worship, devotion, and compassion.
Here is how you can make the most of the month:
Increase daily Dhikr
Keep your tongue and heart busy in the remembrance of Allah SWT and keep on reciting the simple but most rewarding Dhikr. You can regularly recite these Dhikrs:
- SubhanAllah
- Alhamdulillah
- Allahu Akbar
- La ilaha illallah
- Astaghfirullah
Read and reflect on the Holy Quran
Safar is an excellent month to recite and memorise the Holy Quran even if you recite a few verses a day can bring guidance, spiritual comfort and clear your perspective. Consider setting aside a fixed time for recitation, reading a paragraph or two with translation, and applying the lesson you learned to your daily practical life.
Give charity
Charity is one of the most beloved acts of worship in Islam. Whether you support a charitable cause, support someone to reserve their Ramadan Umrah Packages, offer a simple act of Kindness, or provide meals to the needy, each act of kindness counts. You can also help a family struggling with financial support, offer your time to others or simply donate your items to the needy ones.
Important duas to recite during Safar
Dua provides a direct communication source to Allah SWT to seek His guidance, protection, and mercy. While there are no specific supplications to recite during the month, Muslims can recite many general duas to enjoy highly spiritual benefits and get closer to the Almighty. Here is a list of simple duas to recite during the Month:
Dua for emotional strength
Believing that there is no power and no strength except with Allah. The verse helps to seek divine strength and flexibility. It reminds you that the true power and strength only belong to Allah SWT, and it comes only from him during stressful and underlying moments.
Call upon:
“La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah”
Dua for Forgiveness
The holy Prophet PBUH said that:
Astaghfirullaha Rabbi min kulli dhambin wa atoobu ilayh
Humans are made of errors but Allah SWt provides many excellent opportunities and perfect time slots to make duas to seek forgiveness and get closer to the Almighty. Muslims can also narrate:
Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibbul-‘afwa, fa’fu ‘anni
Dua for Gratitude and Contentment
The Holy Prophet PBUH said:
“Who doesn’t thank people doesn’t thank Allah.”
The meaning of this hadith shows that pilgrims should build a nice relationship with others too and forgive others while seeking forgiveness for themselves. Praying Dua isn’t just about yourself it can serve others too. Repeat:
“My Lord, enable me to be grateful for your favor which you have bestowed upon me and upon my parents and to do the righteousness of which you approve.”
Surah An-Naml 27:19.
Dua for protection and clarity
