Advantages, Hadiths and Council Closing Manners

Kifarah or known as Kafarah’s bead is a closing prayer that is often practiced by Muslims after a meeting, discussion or knowledge council.

This bead is not just a regular remembrance, it acts as a “closing” or “redemption” that may occur at a event, while having a great fadhilat in a Muslim’s daily life.

Although it is simple and easy to remember, these beads have a deep meaning and have their own advantages from the spiritual and Islamic manners.

In the Muslim community in Malaysia, the Kifarah Tasbih is usually read in the congregation after a ceremony, as a form of ending with the awareness of the possible misunderstanding during the discussion or group.

The arguments related to the Kifarah Tasbih

The Kifarah Tasbih has a special position in Islam as it was taught by Prophet Muhammad himself.

It is often practiced at the end of an event, a gathering, or after done doing something, as a closing or a deficiency redeem.

This practice shows how Islam always teaches its people to always be self -aware and seek forgiveness from Allah Almighty, even for unaware.

There are several authentic hadiths that explain the fadhilat and the importance of the Kifarah beads, including:

Whoever is sitting in a jacket, and he was covered in it, so he said before he is based on his jam: God, may God bless you, and God bless you Except that you ask forgiveness and repent to you

Meaning: “Whoever sits in a ceremony and jokes a lot in the ceremony, before leaving it, let him pray: Glory to you, God and all praise to You.

Riwayat Al-Tarmizi (3433)

Meanwhile, in other history, Imam al-Baihaqi described the history of Abu al-Barzah al-Asalmi.

The history also states the same for those who want to leave the ceremony as the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said:

Glory be to you, O God, and praise you, I bear witness that there is no god but you, I ask forgiveness and repent to you (. In what he said, he said: (This is the disbelief of what is in the sitting)

Meaning: “Glory to you, Allah and all praise to You. I testify that there is no God but You and I beg your forgiveness and repent to You. They are Barkata: O Messenger of Allah!^[2]
