Abstract

Proper use of the spiritual opportunity of the holy month of Ramadan requires knowing it and the correct way to face it, which is mentioned in the words of the Innocents (peace be upon them). Among them, we can refer to the prayers number 44 and 45 of the Sajjadiyyah book entitled the prayer of entering the holy month of Ramadan and the prayer of farewell to the month of Ramadan. In this research, an attempt was made to extract the basic, organizing, and comprehensive themes of these prayers by using the thematic analysis method and with two quantitative and qualitative approaches in the three steps of analysis, description, and composition, and the strategies proposed in these prayers in order to discover the model of servitude. May God be explained in the month of Ramadan from the perspective of Imam Sajjad (peace be upon him). The findings of the research show that from the point of view of the infallible Imam, benefiting from the opportunity to serve God in the holy month of Ramadan requires manners and conditions that, by observing them, will bring spiritual works and blessings to man both in this world and in the hereafter. These customs are explained under two categories, individual and social, in the text of the article, and in the following, the effects of acting on them are also described in both worldly and hereafter spheres. At the end of the article, the total research.
