“Peace be upon you O’ the greater month of God”: Farewell to you O’ the greatest months of God; O’ the celebration of God’s friends. Farewell O’ the most glorious and most beloved companion of times and O’ the best of days and moments. Farwell O’ the month in which wishes got closer to us; that is, with our own efforts, increased efforts, we got closer to our true humane wishes. Such continues the supplication in Sahifa Sajjadiya bidding farewell to this blessed month. Imam Sajjad (a.s.) enthusiastically and fervently speaks about the Night of Qadr, supplication, Quran and forgiveness in this month and then supplicates to God: O’ God preserve for us what we have achieved in this blessed month and bestow mercy upon us for what we missed in this month as a deprivation, a deficiency, a weakness that requires to be pitied and compensated for. Imam Sajjad then prays this month will come back to him once again.
