Title: The 15 whispered prayers of As-Sahifa al-Kamila as-Sajjadiyyah
The translation is based on the Tafseer of Sheikh Dr. Mohammad Ali Shomali
The supplication (dua) is one of the best worship through which one may attain self-perfection and God's Nearness. Because, of this reason God-Almighty has invited his servants to offer supplications. God-Almighty says in Holy Quran:
Call on your Lord humbly and secretly; surely He does not love those who exceed the limits. (7:55)
The Whispered prayers, is a collection of 15 Intimate conversations with GOD extracted from the book Sahifa Sajjadiya, known famously as the Psalms of Islam. This book is a compilation of heart-rending supplications to God from his humble servant, Imam Ali ibn Hussain Zainul Abideen (peace be upon him). If we truly utilized this hidden treasure, we could not enumerate the wonders it would bestow upon us.
Munajaat means "talking" or "having a conversation". In this case, it is the intimate conversations of our Imam with his Lord. Conversing with God regularly is true spirituality, and these conversations between Imam Sajjad (as) and God will really open our eyes. Again, there are conversations for different spiritual states, such as being fearful, hopeful and thankful. Conversing with Allah according to our current spiritual state will only serve to enhance our relationship with him.
