Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

REMEMBRANCE OF ALLAAH (ZIKAR) DURING THE INTERVAL IN TARAWIH SALAAH

The zikar (remembrance of ALLAAH) after every four Rakaats does not appear in any of the traditions. However, Allama Shami (May ALLAAH bless him) has made a mention of it by reference to Qahistani and Manhajulibad that the following zikr should be recited after every Four rakaats.

                       

Glory to the owner of the Supreme Sovereignty and of bodies and souls. Glory to the owner of honour, splendor, power and omnipotence. Glory to the ever sovereign who never dies; Lord of the angels and the spirit. There is no God but ALLAAH we seek Thy pardon, ask for Paradise and seek refuge from the Fire. [Sham]

The Prophet has said ALLAAH has made the fasts of Ramadan obligatory, and (by ALLAAH’s leave) I have made it a source to keep awake at night during Ramadan (to perform Tarawih Salaah) (because it has been specifically enjoined; it is also a necessary item). Whoever fasts during Ramadan with full belief to get a reward, and keeps awake at night, he will be as free from sin as on the day he was born. [Nisai Hayatul Muslimin]
