The First Day of Ramadhan

ramadhan (18)

The First Day of Ramadhan

The recommended acts on the first day of Ramadhan are as follows:

First: It is recommended to bathe oneself in flowing water and to pour on the head thirty handfuls of water, for such a deed brings about security against all pains and ailments up to the next year.

Second: It is recommended to wash one’s face with a handful of rose water so as to be saved against humiliation and povery, and to pour some of it on the head so as to be saved from pleurisy.

Third: It is recommended to offer the first of the month prayer that consists of two Rak`ahs and to give alms after it.

Fourth: It is recommended to offer a prayer of two Rak`ahs at the first of which Surah of al-Fatihah and Surah of al-Fath (No. 48) should be recited and at the second Rak`ah, Surah of al-Fatihah and any other Surah should be reicted. If one offers this prayer, Almighty Allah will save him from all evils and will keep him under His custody up to the next year.

Fifth: When the dawn breaks forth, it is recommended to say the following supplication:

اللّهُمّ قَدْ حَضَرَ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ

allahumma qad hadhara shahru ramadhana

O Allah: the month of Ramadhan has commenced,

وَقَدِ افْتَرضْتَ عَلَيْنَا صِيَامَهُ،

wa qadi aftardhta `alayna siyamahu

And You have made obligatory upon us to observe fasting during it,

وَأَنْزَلْتَ فِيهِ القُرْآنَ

wa anzalta fihi alqur’ana

And You revealed the Qur'an in it,

هُدَىً لِلنَّاسِ وَبَيّنَاتٍ مِنَ الهُدَى وَالفُرْقَانِ.

hudan lilnnasi wa bayyinatin mina alhuda wal-furqani

As guidance for people and clear proofs of true guidance and distinction (between the right and the wrong).

اللّهُمّ أَعِنَّا عَلَى صِيَامِهِ،

allahumma a`inna `ala siyamihi

O Allah: (please) help us observe fasting in it,

وَتَقَبّلْهُ مِنَّا،

wa taqabbalhu minna

And accept it from us,

وَتَسَلَّمْهُ مِنا

wa tasallamhu minna

And receive it from us (with acceptance)

وَسَلّمْهُ لَنَا فِي يُسْرٍ مِنْكَ وَعَافِيَةٍ،

wa sallimhu lana fi yusrin minka wa `afiyatin

And keep it sound for us with easiness and good health from You.

إنّكَ عَلَى كُلّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ،

innaka `ala kulli shay‘in qadirun

You verily have power over all things.

Sixth: If one has not had the opportunity to say it at night, it is recommended to say the supplication number forty-four of the al-Sahifah al-Kamilah al-Sajjadiyyah, which has been previously cited.

Seventh: In his book of ‘Zad al-Ma`ad’, `Allamah al-Majlisiy has mentioned that al-Kulayniy, al-Tusiy, and others, through an authentic series of narrators, have reported Imam Musa al-Ka¨im (a.s) as saying, “Say the following supplication in the month of Ramadhan—on the first day of it, as is understood by scholars—for if one prays Almighty Allah with this supplication purely and without associating any false purposes or showing off, he will be saved, throughout that year, from all seditious and misleading matters as well as all afflictions that may injure his religion or his body; and Almighty Allah will save him from the evils of all the misfortunes that will occur in that year.” The supplication is as follows:

اللّهُمّ إِنّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الّذِي دَانَ لَهُ كُلّ شَيْءٍ،

allahumma inni as’aluka bismika alladhy dana lahu kull shay‘in

O Allah I beseech You, in the name of Your name before which everything kneels down

فَإِنّكَ أَمَرْتَنِي بِالدّعَاءِ،

because it was You who ordered me to pray You

وَتَكَفّلْتَ لِي بِالاِجَابَةِ،

wa takaffalta li bil-ijabati

And thus You have promised of response.

يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.

O the most Merciful of all those who show mercy.

It is worth mentioning that Sayyid Ibn Tawus has mentioned this supplication within the recommended acts of the first night of Ramadhan.
