Doa Pembuka Sebelum Kultum atau Ceramah

Gambar
Assalamualaikum wr wb Pada kesempatan ini saya menyajikan doa yang disampaikan pada saat sebelum memulai ceramah atau menyampaikan kultum pada sidang majelis muslim dimana saja, yaitu yang artinya : “ Segala puji milik Allah. Kami memohon pertolonganNya, dan mohon ampun kepada Nya. Kami berlindung kepada Allah dari kejahatan diriku dan keburukan amalku. Barang siapa yang diberi petunjuk Allah maka tidak ada siapapun yang dapat menyesatkannya, dan barang siapa yang disesatkan Allah maka tidak ada siapapun yang dapat menunjukinya. Aku bersaksi bahwa tiada Tuhan selain Allah, aku mengesakanNya dan tidak mempersekutukanNya.Dan aku bersaksi bahwa Muhammad adalah hambaNya dan rosulNya, tidak ada nabi setelah Dia. Ya Allah, berikan sholawat, salam dan kebaikan atas nabi Muhammad, keluarganya dan sahabatnya .” Wassalamu'alaikum Wr. Wb.
