A very interesting point to note is that in Du’a Makarim al Akhlaq, (Du’a 20 of Sahifa Sajjadiyya), Imam al-Sajjad (a) recites salawaat after every few verses. This shows us that if we want to improve our akhlaq, we must learn from the Holy Prophet (saww).
![Imam Ali al-Ridha (a) is reported to have said, “The best time for reciting the Holy Qur’an is after the completion of the Morning Prayer.”
Imam al-Baqir (a) is reported to have said, “There is a spring for everything, and the spring of the Qur’an is the Month of Ramadhan.” (Al-Kafi Vol. 2 Pg. 630)
Imam al-Sadiq (a) is reported to have said, “… Verily [the month of] Ramadhan has a special right and sanctity that the other months do not have. The Holy Qur’an is to be read in
a measured tone. When you come to a verse that mentions
Paradise, pause and ask Allah, the Mighty and Exalted, to grant you Paradise, and when you come to a verse that mentions
hellfire, then pause and seek refuge with Allah from the fire of hell.” (Al-Kafi. Vol. 2 Pg. 617)](https://ei.jaffer.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/inspirations-1-791x1024.png)
![Imam al-Sadiq (a) is reported to have said, “ The pious ones are the shias of Imam Ali (a) and the unseen is Imam al-Mahdi (ajtf). The proof of these words is seen in the verse below:
They ask, “ Why has no [other] sign been sent down to him from his Lord?” Say, [O Prophet] The knowledge of the unseen is with Allah alone. So wait! I too am waiting with you.” (Q10:20)](https://ei.jaffer.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Imam-al-Mahdi-ajtf-in-the-Holy-Quran-1-791x1024.png)
