Al-Ma'thurat

Al-Ma'thurat in English lies staring at me on my desk.Published by IIUM's Public Relations Office (year not stated),nyata it is a gem.They must have placed it in one of those door-gift bags in one of the many functions I attended.

Things you need to know about al-Ma'thurat:

1.It refers to a compilation of wirids which are inherited from the Prophet (pbuh), compiled by Syahid Imam Hassan al-Banna (Tariq Ramadan's granddad).

2.It is usually recited at dawn or dusk as suggested in Surah Taha (130): "And celebrate (constantly) the praises of your Lord, before the rising of the sun, and before its setting"

*bukan celik je mata, fb-ing.Ahaks.

3. Al-Ma'thurat is a comfort for the diseased heart as alluded by verse 28, Surah al-Ra'd: "Those who believe and those whose hearts find satisfaction in the remembrance of God: for without doubt in the remembrance of God do hearts find satisfaction."

4. There are two forms of wirid al-ma'thurat:

i)  al-kubra (compilation of all the wirids)
ii) al-sughra: wirids for those in a hurry.

To be continued later.
