Closing Prayer: Propositions, Prayer Manners and Its Virtue

---

In an event, when opening and closing the program, it should be accompanied by prayer. Actually saying basmalah before starting and ending it with hamdalah is enough. However, it would be better to offer a prayer to be blessed by Allah.

In Arabic an event is called a assembly. Assembly comes from the word "jalasa - yajlisu" which means to sit. In language, the assembly means a place to sit, where the word assembly is used to indicate various kinds of meetings between groups or people who have the same interests.

In essence, the closing prayer or closing prayer is the same thing. The kafaratul majlis prayer or the closing prayer is not only recited when closing the event. The kafaratul majlis prayer or the closing prayer can be read to end everything. Including finishing group studies, coming home from school, even finishing writing a thesis, it's good to read this prayer.

In a Tirmidhi hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah R.A, Rasulullah SAW said:

"Whoever is in an assembly, then in that assembly there are many words that are not useful, then before leaving the assembly, saying this (Kaffaratul Assembly), 'Glory be to You O Allah and all praise be to You, I bear witness that there is no god but You, I beg Your forgiveness.' Unless he has been forgiven what was in the assembly the." (HR. Tirmidhi).

The closing sentence of the event usually ends with an apology from the host and performers if they say something wrong or do something that is not pleasant to the hearts of the invited guests. After that it is continued by praying, then reading hamdalah, then ending with closing greetings.

The prayer in the closing prayer of this event contains asking forgiveness from Allah SWT, for all the sins we have committed. Either intentionally or unintentionally. By reading the closing prayer, we certainly hope that the knowledge and knowledge we get from an event can be practiced and implemented and can be beneficial in accordance with strong faith.

The following is the closing prayer for the event:

اللَّهُمَّ اقْسِمْ لَنَا مِنْ خَشْيَتِكَ مَا تَحُولُ بِهِ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ مَعَاصِيكَ ، وَمِنْ طَاعَتِكَ مَا تُبَلِّغُنَا بِهِ جَنَّتَكَ ، وَمِنَ الْيَقِينِ مَا تُهَوِّنُ عَلَيْنَا مَصَائِبَ الدُّنْيَا ، اللَّهُمَّ مَتِّعْنَا بأسْمَاعِنا ، وَأَبْصَارِنَا ، وقُوَّتِنَا مَا أحْيَيْتَنَا ، وَاجْعَلْهُ الوارثَ مِنَّا ، وَاجْعَلْ ثَأرَنَا عَلَى مَنْ ظَلَمَنَا ، وَانْصُرْنَا عَلَى مَنْ عَادَانَا ، وَلاَ تَجْعَلْ مُصيبَتَنَا فِي دِينِنَا ، وَلاَ تَجْعَلِ الدُّنْيَا أَكْبَرَ هَمِّنَا ، وَلاَ مَبْلَغَ عِلْمِنَا ، وَلاَ تُسَلِّطْ عَلَيْنَا مَنْ لاَ يَرْحَمُنَا

"Allahummaqsim lanaa min Khosyyatika maa tahuulu bihi baynanaa wa bayna ma'aashik, wa min thoo'atika maa tubalighunaa bihi jannatak, wa minal yaqiini maa tuhawwinu 'alaynaa mashooibad dunya."

“Allahumma matti'na bi asmaa'inaa wa abshorina, wa quwwatinaa maa ahyyaytanaa, waj'alhul waaritsa minnaa, waj'al Tsa'rona 'ala man zholamanaa, wan-shurnaa 'alaa man 'aadaanaa, wa laa taj'al mushibatanaa fii diininaa wa laa taj'alid dunyaa Akbara hamminaa, wa laa mablagho 'ilminaa, wa laa tusallith 'alaynaa mallaa yarhamunaa."

The Proof of the Hadith Reading the Opening and Closing Prayers

There are several hadiths regarding the closing prayer of this event, namely:

Rasulullah SAW said:

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مَنْ جَلَسَ فِي مَجْلِسٍ فَكَثُرَ فِيهِ لَغَطُهُ، فَقَالَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقُومَ مِنْ مَجْلِسِهِ ذَلِك

سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ

إِلاَّ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا كَانَ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ ذَلِكَ.

It means :

"Anyone who is in an assembly, then in that assembly there are many words that are not useful, then before leaving the assembly, say this prayer

subhaanakallaahumma wa bihamdika asyhadu allaa ilaaha illa anta astaghfiruka wa atuubu ilaika.

Which means 'Glory to You O Allah, and all praise be to You, I testify that there is no god but You. I beg Your forgiveness, and I repent to You, unless it has been forgiven for that person' something that is in the assembly." (HR Tirmidhi)

Rasulullah SAW when he was about to stand up to leave the assembly, he prayed:

سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ

"Glory be to You O Allah and all praise be to You, I bear witness that there is no god but You, I beg forgiveness and repentance to You."

Rasulullah SAW said:

مَنْ سَلَكَ طَرِيقًا يَلْتَمِسُ فِيهِ عِلْمًا سَهَّلَ اللَّهُ لَهُ طَرِيقًا إِلَى الجَنَّةِ

"Whoever travels in search of knowledge, Allah SWT will make it easy for him to go to heaven." (Muslim HR)

From Abu Hurairah, he said that Rasulullah SAW said:

مَامِنْ قَوْمٍ يَقُوْمُوْنَ مِنْ مَجْلِسٍ لاَ يَذْكُرُوْنَ اللهَ فِيْهِ إِلاَّ قَامُوْا عَنْ مِثْلِ جِيْفَةِ حِمَارٍ وَكَانَ لَهُمْ حَسْرَةً

"Every people who rise from the assembly that does not remember Allah SWT, then the completion of the assembly is like a dead donkey and only becomes regret on the Day of Resurrection." (Narrated by Abu Dawud)

Rasulullah SAW said:

"Whoever does not ask Allah SWT, then Allah SWT will be angry with him." (HR Tirmidhi)

From Aisha RA, she said:

The Prophet SAW did not sit in the assembly, nor did he read the Qur'an and did not pray unless he closed it with these sentences. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I see you don't sit in an assembly, don't even read the Qur'an and don't pray unless you close with that sentence?"

Then, Rasulullah SAW said: "Yes, whoever says good, it will be closed with a stamp of goodness, and whoever says bad, it will be the eraser of his sins. Namely subhanakallahumma wabihamdika asyhadu an laa ilaaha illa anta astaghfiruka wa atuubu ilaika." (HR An – Nasa'i)

Allah SWT says in QS Al - Mu'min verse 60:

The content is to pray and ask only to Him, then Allah SWT will allow it for His servants.
