The human being, in the depth of his nature, is drawn toward the Absolute, toward the Divine. The Observances of the Month of Ramadan is not merely a collection of prayers and rituals; it is a journey into the heart of servitude (ʿubūdiyyah) and self-purification. Based on the renowned Mafātīḥ al-Jinān of Shaykh ʿAbbās Qummī, this text is a guide for the wayfarer who seeks to transcend the veils of heedlessness and approach the Divine Presence.
Ramadan, as delineated in this work, is a time of ascent—a period where the soul, through fasting, prayer, and supplication, loosens its attachments to the material world and realigns itself with the eternal truth (ḥaqq). Through the luminous supplications and prescribed observances translated here by Ali Quli Qarai, the reader is invited to contemplate the metaphysical realities underlying worship, the significance of divine mercy, and the profound connection between devotion and intellectual refinement. To fast is not simply to refrain from food, but to discipline the soul, to seek nearness to the ḥaqq, and to awaken to the reality of existence.
