FORTY DAYS VOYAGE OF PIETY AND TAZKIYA E NAFS (PURIFICATION OF SOUL) Hazrat Muhammad (SAWAW) said “Whoever devotes them to Allah for forty days, the springs of wisdom break forth from their hearts and flow from their tongues.” The object of this schedule is to encourage the believers to devote themselves to Allah for forty days and to encourage them in getting spiritual pleasure and satisfaction. Offer one Qadha prayer with the Wajib prayer and in that case put two tick marks under the prayer it will indicate that you offered one Wajib prayer and one Qadha prayer. Recite 100 times “Astaghfurillah hae Rabi Wa Atubu Ilah” every night before sleeping and remember your prayers. Try to shed two or three tears while reciting this every day and while remembering your sins. Observe fast least three days in a month. On Thursday in the first ten days of Islamic month, on Wednesday on the second ten days of Islamic month and on Thursday in the last ten days of Islamic month. As Imam Ali a.s has reported to have said that “Whoever observes fasts on three days of a month i.e on first and last Thursday and on Wednesday in the mid ten days will get the reward of fasts of the whole month”. Recite “Dua e Kumayl”, Dua e Tawassul and “Hadith e Kissa” on the Thursday night without any interruption. Listen Nohas/Marsiyas and shed your tears on the tragedy of Karbala. This will strengthen your faith and purify your heart. In “Self Accountability” spaces write what Haram acts you did and you will try to abstain from them in the subsequent days. Imam Musa Kazim a.s has said that “He is not amongst us who does not make his nafs accountable each night when he goes to sleep”. Avoid watching films, dramas, non mehram women and songs for you smooth continuous spiritual voyage.
