PREFACE
I begin in the name of Allaah the Beneficent the
Merciful.
All Praises belong to Allaah Sub’haanahoo Wa Ta’aala, The Most
Compassionate, The Merciful, The Lord of The Universe and
Master of the Day of Judgment. And we beg to Him to shower His
choicest Blessings on the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W.) and his pure
Progeny (A.S.) (Ahlul Bait) who strived to the peak of perfection
to restore and maintain the tenets of Islam.
The five times Namaaz is one of the pillars of Islam, if it is
accepted by Allaah then all other good deeds shall also be
accepted otherwise the carelessly prayed Namaaz will we thrown
back on our face rendering other good deeds void and useless.
Allaah (S.W.T.) says in the Holy Qur’an in Surah Maa’oon, verse:
4 and 5 that, “Woe to those who do pray but are heedless in
their prayer.” Therefore, Namaaz is such a prayer that it should
not be taken lightly. It is a prayer that takes us face to face in
front of our Creator. We know that when the righteous persons
were preparing for Namaaz their condition remarkably used to
change due to the fear of God. So we should atleast try to observe
the sanctity of Namaaz to our best possible extent so as to reap its
favourable fruits in this world as well in the Hereafter.
Likewise, Duaa (supplication) also plays an important role in our
lives. Although it is not Wajib (obligatory) but is highly
emphasized to recite Duaas at every time, especially after
Namaaz. However, Duaa is also a prayer. Namaaz without Duaa is
same as to a house without furniture. Duaa is a channel to express
oneself to Allaah (S.W.T.) We have been given this weapon of
Duaa so as to beseech, beg, and complain to our Merciful Lord
concerning our needs and wishes, and seek protection from
troubles and problems through the medium of Duaa.
And as for the Duaa to be effective it has the etiquettes to be
followed faithfully. Duaa is like an application for obtaining
something, so if it manifests carelessness it may never be
responded. The similarity to it is like a person in need going to the
door of a rich person, if he begs with sincere humility there are
more chances of getting what he wants, but if he begs carelessly
or obstinately then the doors shall be closed on his face.
To make our Duaa to be effective and fruitful we should
foremostly realize the Majesty of Almighty Allaah (S.W.T.) In
our very hearts we should have His fear as well as hope. Cause of
fear for our shortcomings and faults and sins, and as for the hope
it should be for his never ending Mercy and love towards His
creation. The Duaa of one who expects favours from other then
Allaah is quite out of place. Therefore it is very essential to keep
our thoughts clear of begging and expecting from others then
Allaah.
The other factor to be taken in consideration for the effectiveness
of a Duaa is to be clean of any worldly thoughts, selfish motives,
pride, jealousy, vengeance and all other bad elements.
Furthermore, one of the etiquettes of beseeching Allaah is that
before requesting Allaah to fulfill our own needs we should first
recite Salawaat, praise Allaah (S.W.T.), thank Him for His
previous bounties and favours, repent sincerely for our sins, then
pray and plead for others, this is a way to express that we are not
selfish or self-centered, and finally pray for ourselves. If the
proper way is followed then there should not be any reason to
despair.
Allaah S.W.T says in His Holy Book that whenever any one calls
Him He answers, and that He is not far away from His creatures,
He is nearer to us than the jugular vein in our neck. So it is only a
question of pure intention and sincerity of our hearts to make our
Duaa reach His kind attention. This is the forerunner in our
prayers, if it is missed than one should be ready to face silence in
response to his/her Duaa. This is a basic requirement. Pure
intention and sincerity should be maintained upto the end.
One more thing is worth noting down, and it is that if you are not
responded instantly do not despair, do not lose hope from The
Merciful Allaah, keep on begging, and imploring, and
supplicating, and beseeching, keep the door knocking, it will
unlock one day. Moreover, Allaah (S.W.T.) is our Kind, Merciful
and Powerful Creator Who knows quite well that which is
beneficial and useful to us, so He gives according to His
appropriate and just measure. If it was according to our wishes
and cravings then imagine the ultimate result of a toddler begging
for a loaded gun.
Although some Duaas and A’amaal will apparently be seen very
attractive, and in fact they surely are so, but side by side, one
should not under-estimate the values of pre-requisites. Only
Allaah (S.W.T.) is the sole proprietor of whatever is in the earths
and heavens, and He bestows according to His own wish. Are
there not well-educated persons who are fed on fixed salaries?
And are there not non-educated persons who control a sizeable
part of economy? There are. So we must have a staunch belief in
Allaah, and our sole relying and trust should be on Him only, that
is Tawaqqul. Side by side with Duaa it is our duty to work hard
for lawful earning and keep away from illegal ways and not to be
deeply engrossed in the glitters of this temporary world. It is upto
Him that when, what, where and how much to bestow.
May Allaah (S.W.T.) help and guide us achieve our lawful needs
of both the worlds through sincere prayers and good deeds, in
accordance to His pleasure only. Aameen.
This is my revised edition of POWER OF PRAYERS with some
corrections and additionals that I very much hope will be useful to
my faithful sisters and brothers-in-Faith…Inshaa’Allaah. I
humbly pray to Allaah (S.W.T.) for the best rewards to shower on
my daughters and sons who helped me to accomplish this work,
and also those who in one way or the other helped me in this
devoted cause Iltimaas-e-Duaa.
I also humbly offer my thanks to M/s Ansariyan Publications of
Islamic Republic of IRAN for making this third edition
successful, elegent and magnificient. May Allaah S.W.T. reward
them all in both worlds with His choisest blessings.
Wassalaam.

ABOUT DUAA
Imaam Ameerul Mu’mineen (A.S.) said that a person who is not
afflicted with hardships or deseases and is living a happy life
should not have this impression that he is no more in need of
Duaa and the afflicted person is in need of it. How can one rest
assured to be safe from afflictions and problems while everywhere
the world is replete with them. If one is safe and sound today it
does not carry a warranty of future happiness also. So it is
inevitable that one is bound to stumble on a desease, troubles,
difficulty,or any problem in any coming days. Therefore it is of
intensive necessity for us to turn towards our Creator Lord for the
help and salvation during the difficult times, and it is through
Duaa.
Our Aimmaah (A.S.) considered Duaa as a weapon and a shield.
Imaam Musa-e-Kaadhim (A.S.) said, “Duaa reverts both what
has been destined and that which has not been destined.”
Imaam Zaynul Aabideen (A.S.) said, “Duaa and afflictions
challenge each other until the Day of Judgement, yet Duaa
comes out victoriously even if the afflictions are certain to
happen.”
And, “Duaa removes both the present affliction and that which
will come down later.”
The Holy Qur’an quotes the importance of Duaa in these verses:
“Say, my Lord would not care for you were it not for your
Duaa.” – S.Furqaan: 77.
“And call on Him fearing and hoping.” – S. A’araaf: 56.
“And when My servents ask you concerning Me, then suely I
am very near; I answer the prayer of the supplicant when he
calls on Me, so they should answer My call and believe in Me
that they may walk in the right way.” S.Baqarah: 186.
Imaam Ja’afar Saadiq A.S said, “Whoever obeys God’s orders
and offers his “Duaa” properly, they will be answered.”
He also mentioned proper way of beseeching, he said, “First
praise God Almighty, then remember Him and thank Him for
His blessings. After that, send greetings to the Holy Prophet
and his Progeny (Slawaat), then confess your sins and ask
forgiveness for them. That is the right way for Duaa.”
At certain times we wish for something and we get it, then we
wish for the removal of its evils, which appear in the form of its
side effects; and at certain times we experience the opposite of
this. In this connection Imaam Ali (A.S.) said, “On many
occasions man desires something but when his desire is
fulfilled he wishes it had never been fulfilled.” In Surah
Baqarah verse 216 Allaah says, “It may be that you dislike a
thing while it is good for you, and it may be that you love a
thing while it is evil for you, and Allaah knows, while you do
not know.”
Imaam Saadiq (A.S.)’s advice to Meiser Ibn Abdul Azeez, “O
Meiser! call upon God and not say to yourself that the die is
cast, for there is a rank with God man can not attain without
asking for it. If God’s servent closed his mouth and does not
ask anything from Him, nothing will be given to him.
Therefore ask God for what you need so that He will give it to
you. O Meisar, whoever knocks on a door and persists will be
allowed in.” And, “Whoever does not ask for God’s special
grace, will remain destitute.”
Imaam Ali (A.S.) said, “Never have this impression that God
Almighty has opened the door of Duaa but has closed the door
of answering Duaa.”
One of the exortations of God to Nabii Isa (A.S.), “O Isa! humble
your heart before Me and remember Me in private and let it
be known to you that I become happy when you come towards
Me with hope and fear. Don’t you ever do it with a dead heart,
do it with a living heart.”
If a Duaa is sensible and is reasonable to be answered quickly it
will be done so; but if its delay is good then the answer shall be
delayed, in this case the advantage of Duaa is that it will be
answered and reward for the patience will be granted. If the Duaa
is not sensible, rather it has evil consequences, then the very Duaa
has a reward and moreover, it may keep away afflictions.
A Hadeeth by Abu Saeed Khudhri quoting the Holy Prophet
(S.A.W.W.) said, “If a believer calls upon God and does not
ask Him for cutting off family relations or a sinful deed, God
Almighty will give him one of these three things: (a) his Duaa
will be answered quickly, or (b) there will be delay in his Duaa
being answered, or (c) Allaah will repell from him an evil act
equal to what he has begged.” The companions said: “O
Messenger of Allaah, therefore we should increase our Duaas.”
The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W.) said, “God answers Duaas most
frequently.”
In a Hadeeth from Malik Ibn Anas it is said that the Prophet
repeated it three times sayng, “God answers our Duaas most of
the time.”
Imaam Ali (A.S.) said, “Sometimes God Almighty delays
answering the Duaa so as to give both, a greater reward and a
further blessing.”
Jaabir bin Abdullah Ansaari has quoted the Holy Prophet
(S.A.W.W.) saying, “If a servent favoured by God supplicates,
God says to Jibraeel, ‘Grant his request but delay it, for I like
to hear his voice more and more.’ But if someone, in disfavour
with God supplicates, God says to Jibraeel, ‘O Jibraeel grant
the request of My servent with haste, for I don’t like to hear
his voice.’”
If our Duaa is not answered quickly we should be pleased with
God’s decree and consider it as a blessing. The Holy Prophet
(S.A.W.W.) said, “Do not abhor God’s blessings nor ask for
anything without giving it a thought. If affliction befalls
sustenance and life of any one of you, do not ever ask for a
change, since a change may lead to death or destruction. You
should rather say, “O God by the position of Muhammad
(S.A.W.W.) and his Household, if there is a blessing in what
has befallen me, make me patient and give me not only the
power of forbearance, but make me pleased with it too. Yet if
there is blessing in something else, give that something to me.
At any rate, make me pleased with your decree, for praise is
due only to You.”
For the Duaa to be answered favourably, time, place and
circumstances should be taken in consideration, because there are
spesific times and places whereat we may receive prompt
fulfillment. As for the time, the day of Friday and its night are
most meritorious, specifically during the one-hour-before-noon.
On Wednesday between noon and afternoon is also a proper time
for presenting our requests to the Almighty Allaah (S.W.T.)
The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W.) said, “Anyone of you who has a
need, should request it during night-prayer (Namaaz-e-Shab),
for it is specially for you and it has not been granted to former
nations.”
The last third of every night and Friday-night is also an excellent
opportunity to requst our needs from Almighty Allaah (S.W.T.)
Other occasions and times for making Duaa a success are: Ahya
Nights (spending nights vigil), 1st night of Rajab, 15th Sha’abaan
night, the night of Eedul Fitr, the night of Eedul Dhuhaa, the day
of Arafaat, when the wind is blowing, when the call to prayer is
made, when it is raining, when the first drop of a Martyr’s blood
is dripped, when noon arrives, and from dawn to sunrise.
Imaam Saadiq (A.S.) said, “When noon arrives, the gates of
heavens will be opened and great desires will be fulfilled.”
Imaam Baaqir (A.S.) said, “God answers the call of those
servents of His who often pray (Duaa). Therefore pray at
dawns until sunrise, for the gates of Paradise are opened at
this time. Daily food is distributed at this time and great needs
are met.”
It is stated in a tradition book that one who merely recites Duaa
without doing a good deed is like an archer who wishes to shoot
an arrow but has not got a bow. So before requesting Allaah
(S.W.T.) in a Duaa we should do any one of the good deeds.
One should do Duaa before a problem or trouble has ascended to
be safe from it. Imaam Jaa’far Saadiq (A.S.) said, “If a man
recites a Duaa before the descent of a tribulation his Duaa will
be fulfilled during its descent and it is said: ‘It is a familiar
voice which is not hidden from heavens.’ But one who has not
recited Duaa before, his Duaa during the descent of
tribulation will not be fulfilled, for the Angels will say, ‘We do
not recognize this voice.’”
A Hadeeth-e-Qudsee reads: “You have to recite Duaa and I
have to fulfil it, for no Duaa is hidden from Me but that of one
who eats unlawful things.”
The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W.) “Whoever wishes to have his
Duaa answered, must purify his daily food and business.” And,
“Cleanse the source of your daily food and do not eat unlawful
things.” Imaam Saadiq (A.S.) said: “Renouncing one morsel of
unlawful food is so much loved by Allaah that it is much
better than performing thousand rak’ats of recommended
prayer.”
Ameerul Mu’mineen (A.S.) said that God revealed to Nabii Isa
(A.S.) to say to Bani Israail, “Do not enter any one of My
houses until you have modest eyes, pure heart, and innocent
hands. Also give them this information that I will not answer
the Duaa of anyone of them while the right of one of My
servents rests upon them.”
It is reported on the authority of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W.)
that Allaah (S.W.T.) says, “Whoever asks something from Me
and is sure that gain and loss are in My hand, I will fulfil his
desire.”
The most benefited persons are those who have staunch faith in
the Mercy of Almighty Allaah (S.W.T.) and possess good opinion
of Him. Allaah says, “My opinion of My servent is his opinion
of Me. Therefore, he should have good opinion of Me.” One of
the revealation of Allaah to Nabii Moosa (A.S.) was, “O Moosa!
Should you call on Me hoping, I will soon forgive you.”
Certainly, why should not a person have a good opinion of All-
Merciful And Most Generous Allaah (S.W.T.) while His Mercy
precedes His wrath? When Allaah, the Most High, created Adam
(A.S.), He blew in him from His Own spirit, Adam (A.S.) sat and
sneezed, he was inspired to say ‘Al-Hamdu Lillaahi Rabbil
Aalameen’, he said thus and Allaah (S.W.T.) in response said,
‘May God have Mercy on you O Adam!’ So the first words to
the human being were of Mercy from the Lord of Universe.
When Allaah (S.W.T.) sent Nabii Moosa to Firawn He said to tell
Firawn that Allaah is more speedy in Mercy and Forgiveness then
wrath and punishment.
When Firawn was drawning in the sea, for such a staunch enemy
Alaah said to Moosa (A.S.) that if atall he had asked help and
forgiveness from Him He would certainly had saved him.
In Surah-e-Muhammad (S) Allaah (S.W.T.) says, “So know that
there is no god but Allaah, and ask forgiveness for your fault
and for the believing men and the believing women.”
These are but a few examples of God’s Mercy. His ocean of
Mercy is limitless. We are told to make Duaa for others also, and
we are told to pray for the deseased, to give a helping hand to the
needy, and many such deeds prove that Mercy of Allaah is in
abundance. A hadeeth also quotes that to dispair of Allaah’s
Mercy is a major sin.
Concerning making haste in Duaa Imaam Ja’afar Saadiq (A.S.)
said, “Allaah will fulfil the desire of a person who does not
make haste in Duaa.” Therefore we should make our Duaa a
comfortable, pleasing, pleading, humble and secret communion
with Allaah (S.W.T.)
A revealation made to Nabii Moosa (A.S.) was this, “O Moosa,
when you are calling on Me be humble, fearlul and broken-
hearted, rub your face on earth, and prostrate before Me with
your best body members, raise your hands in begging before
Me in Qunoot and invoke Me fearfully in your Duaas.”
To Nabii Isa (A.S.) Allaah said, “O Isa! Call on Me as a person
who is drowning and being oppressed and has no any helper.
O Isa! Humble your heart before Me and remember Me in
private most of the time. Know that I am happy when you
come to ME with fear and hope. Don’t come to Me with a dead
heart come with a living and happy heart. Let Me hear a sad
voice.”
It is mentioned that we should always praise Allaah (S.W.T.)
before presenting our needs to Him. The Imaam was asked how
we should praise Alaah. He said to recite this: “Yaa Man’huwa
Aqrabu Ilayya Min Hablil Wareed, Yaa Man’yahoolu Baynal
Mar’i Wa Qalbihee, Yaa Man’huwa Bil Mandhwaril A’alaa,
Yaa Man Laysa Kamithlihee Shay’un.”
It is stated that whoever has a Haajat should first recite Salawaat
on the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W.) and his Holy Progeny (A.S.),
then present his/her needs to Allaah (S.W.T.) and finally recite
Salawaat again. Salawaat is always answered, and it is a type of
Duaa to beseech blessings on Muhammad (S) and Aali
Muhammaad (A.S), and Allaah is too generous to answer two
sides of Duaa but abandon the middle one.
It is mentioned about weeping that it is a source of acceptance
of Duaa if one sheds tears while requesting his or her needs in
front of Allaah. Weeping is the sign of humility, tender-
heartedness and devotion, which are the most required qualities of
fulfillment of Haajaat. Imaam Saadiq (A.S.) said, “Whenever you
trembled to the skin, your eyes were replete with tears and
your heart became apprehensive, keep that state well, for you
have attained your objective.”
There are virtues in shedding tears for the fear of God, which are
not found in other prayers. Hadeeith: ‘There is a defile between
Paradise and Hell through which no one can pass but who
sheds tears in fear of God.’
The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W.) said, “God blessed me and said,
‘By My Glory! What those who shed tears receive from Me
can never be received by the worshippers. I will build palaces
for them in lofty places, and others will not share with them.’
Imaam Saadiq (A.S.) said, “All eyes shall weep on the Day of
Judgement except three eyes: (1) Those eyes which do not see
unlawful things, (2) those eyes which pass the night in prayers,
and (3) those eyes which shed tears in fear of God.”
“Every thing has a weight and measure save tears with a small
amount of which God will extinguish seas of fire. If a man
weeps for an Ummaah, God will make that Ummaah entitled
to His Mercy as a result of weeping of the same servent.”
Abu Hamza has reported on the authority of Imaam Baaqir (A.S.)
that nothing is more beloved to God then a drop of tear shed in
the dark of night for the fear of Allaah (S.W.T.).
Imaam Saadiq A.S said, “If weeping does not give you a positive
response and tears do not come to your eyes, pose as one who
is weepng, even if the tear is the size of a head of a fly, for
blessed will be your state.”
Therefore, if a person wants to be really humble in front of Alaah
(S.W.T.) then he / she should make up the mind to shed tears so as
to please The Lord. Remembering the past sins, mistakes in life,
wrong doings, unlawful earnings, oppressions, injustices,
incorrect worships, gossips, back bitings, the fire of Hell, the
horror of Qayaamat, the wrath of Allaah, and all such things are
sufficient means to make one cry and shed a bucketful tears from
eyes.
Imaam Saadiq (A.S.) said, “Duaa in the time of ease and
comfort is good for the days of affliction.”
“Whoever recites Duaa for forty beleivers and then for
himself, his Duaa will be fulfilled.” “Nothing is more swiftly
answered then a Duaa recited for others.” “The most swiftly
answered Duaa is that of a believer for his brother in faith in
his absence.”
Imaam Kaadhim (A.S.) said, “Whoever recites Duaa in absence
of his brother-in-faith, there is a call from devine throne
saying: ‘Let a hundred thousand times more then it be for
you.’”
One important thing should be mentioned here. It is that the Duaa
for others should come out from the bottom of the heart, it should
not be a mere lip-service.
Abu Baseer once asked Imaam Ja’afar Saadiq (A.S.) regarding
raising hands in Duaa. The Imaam replied, “It has five
characteristics, 1- To seek refuge from God you should put the
palms of both hands towards Qibla. 2- To have your
sustenance increased, open your hands and put the palms of
both hands towards the sky. 3- To give up hope in anyone but
God, point with the index finger. 4- To supplicate, raise your
hands above your head. 5- To supplicate move your index
finger against your face, for it is the Duaa of fear. Humility in
Duaa is to raise both hands to the level of shoulders.”
Regarding the wiping of hands on the face after Duaa Imaam
Baaqir (A.S.) said, “No man extends his hands towards God
unless God is ashamed of returning it empty and puts some of
His bounty and Mercy – that amount which He wills – in it.
Therefore when one of you recites Duaa do not pull back your
hand without having drawn it on your face.”
Imaam Muhammad Baaqir (A.S.) said, “A believer should recite
Duaa in the times of ease and comfort as in the times of
hardwships. He should neither become infirm nor tired of
Duaa when his desire has been fulfilled, because Duaa has a
dignity with God.”
Imaam Ja’afar Saadiq (A.S.) said, “The believer calls upon God
for his desire and God will say: Let there be a delay in
fulfillment of his desire, for I love his voice and Duaa. On the
Day of Judgement He will say: My servent! You called upon
Me but I made delay in fulfilling your desire. Your reward is
such and such. You called on Me on such and such affair too
and I made delay in fulfilling your desire too your reward is
such and such. Then the Imaam said: By observing the great
devine rewards the believer shall wish that it would have been
most excellent that if non of his desires in the world had been
fulfilled.”
Imaam Saadiq (A.S.) was asked that can a Duaa recited by a
person be fulfilled but after a delay? The Imaam said, “Yes, even
as long as twenty years. From the time God said to Moosa and
Haaroon (A.S.) that their call was answered, to the descent of
torment on Firawn, it was fourty years.”
Abu Baseer reported from Imaam Saadiq (A.S.) that the believer
recites Duaa but its fulfillment is delayed till Friday.
One of the revealations to Nabii Moosa (A.S.) “One who believes
that he loves Me but goes to sleep when night comes must be
lying in his belief. O son of Imraan! How good it was if you
could see those rising for prayers in darkness. While I am
showing them My image. Though My position is Most High,
they address Me as if I am in their presence, and though I am
Almighty they speak to Me as if I am in their presence. O son
of Imraan! Give Me tears of your eyes, humility of your heart,
and modesty of your body. Then call Me in the darkness of the
night to find Me as one who answers soon.”
Imaam Baaqir (A.S.) said, “A man asks his worldly desire from
God, and He too, due to His grandeur, fulfils that desire
sooner or later, but thereafter the man commits sins. Here
God says to the Angel appointed to fulfil that desire: Do not
fulfil his desire, for he has provoked My wrath and should be
deprived of My favour.”
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Proper pronunciation of every word of a Duaa is very important,
and as it is seen almost all the Duaas are originally in Arabic
language, while the irony of fate is that majority of us do not
know this language, some know to read but not writing while
others know reading and writing but they unfortunatefly do not
know the meanings. Some words with the very slight articulation
of tongue or lips does change drastically the main meaning of the
whole text. Although I have tried my best to express in words the
pronouncement to the nearest possible sound, but Duaas written in
English can never be equal to what they are originally written and
pronounced in Arabic. Therefore, it is our duty to give priority to
learning our spititual language – Arabic, so as to be well-versed
with our Holy Book and all the invalueable literatures.
Howsoever, one who does not know Arabic should pay full
attention to pronouncing of every word to the best possible extent
he or she can do. Although it is said that God sees what is in our
hearts and minds then also we should not sit rest assured if there
is some possibility to learn this distinguished language of our
Majestic Book, our Prophet, our Imaams, and all heavenly beings.
But one should not be despaired, be sure, it is only Allaah
(S.W.T.) who have the authority to accept our Duaa in whatsoever
way, mathod, means or type He pleases.
AWLAAD
(CHILDREN / OFFSPRINGS)
It is stated in Ahaadees that Awlaad are a bounty from Almighty
Merciful Allaah, particularly when they are on the right path.
Sons are Ne’mat and daughters are Rahmat. Parents are obliged to
give proper and quality education to their children together with
moral uplifting so that they may remain steadfast on the right path
throughout their life. Children are a trust from Allaah so the
parents should not overlook their duty towards them. They should
be trained and educated in such a way that they could not be taken
astray by anyone, especially in these days of immoralities which
has been lavishly scattered all around the globe.
It is also said that if Awlaad commits sinful acts then the parents
also will be taken to task, and when parents die and leave behind
them righteous Awlaad who perform good deeds then the parents
also shall be rewarded. As for secular education it has no any
guarantee for its benefits but religious education is cent percent
guaranteed for.
Imaam Jaa’far Saadiq (A.S.) said that if a woman is being late
in conception for a child, she should recite this Duaa:
Allaahumma Laa Tazar’nee Fardan Wa Anta Khayrul
Waaritheen, Waheedan Wahashan Fa Yaksuru An
Tafakkuri Bal Habalee Aakibata Swidqin Dhukooran Wa
Unaasan Aanasu Bihim Minal Wahshati Wa Askunu
Ilayhim Minal Wahdati Wa Ashkuruka Inda Tamaamin
Ni’amati, Yaa Wahhaabu Yaa Adhweemu Yaa Mu’adh-
dhamu, Thumma A’atwini Fee Kulli Aafiyatin Shukran
Hattaa Tablughanee Minha Ridhwaanuka Fi Sidqil
Hadeethi Wa Adaa’il Amaanati Wa Wafaa’in Bil Ahadi .
A person who wishes his wife to be pregnant : on Friday recite
2 rak’at Namaaz, with prolonged Rukuu’ and Sujood, and

Khayrul Waaritheen, Alaahumma Hablee Min Ladunka
Dhurriyyatan Twayyibatan, Innaka Samee’ud-Duaa’a.
Alaahumma Bismika Istahalaltu Haa Wafee Amaanatika
Akhadha-tuhaa Fa’in Kadhayta Fee Rahamihaa Waladan
Waj’alhu Ghulaamam Mubaarakan Zakiyyan Walaa
Taj’al-Lish-Shaytwaani Feehi Shirkan Walaa Naseeba .
It is narrated that a person who does not have any children
should make firm intention that if Allaah (S.W.T.) bestows a
child to him he shall name it ALI or HUSAYN, then
Inshaa’Allaah he will get children. And if a woman does the
intention of naming the child MUHAMMAD or ALI, she will
conceive a baby-boy.
A certain person complained to Imaam Muhammad Baaqir
(A.S.) for the scarcity of children the Imaam showed him this
Amal: For three days, after Namaaz-e-Sub’h and Ishaa , recite
70 times SUB’HAANALLAAH and 70 times
ASTAGHFIRULLAAH. And then recite this Duaa:

Yursilus-Samaa’a Alaykum Midraaran Wa Yumdid
Bikum Bi Amwaalin Wa Baneena, Waja’allakum
Jannaatin Wa Yaj’allakum Anhaara .
When a woman is in extreme labour pains her husband should
recite the following Aayat for quick delivery of the child:

HAAJAAT
Almost all human beings do have something to ask for from
Almighty Allaah. Some have a craving for some lawful worldly
objects, some have to ask for solutions of their problems, some
longing for remedy of illness and getting good health, while some
have the far-sight of asking favours of the next world. Thus every
one has something to ask from his/her own angle of view.
There are numerous Duaas and A’amaal shown to us by our
Aimmaa (A.S.) for fulfillment of our Haajaat. If we supplicate
sincerely observing all the needed conditions then there is a sure
response for it. But sometimes we see that in spite of all our
Duaas and beseeching we do not get our Duaa answered. There
are many reasons for it, e.g. our mode of approach may be not
suitable, or, may be we are not the proper candidates for what we
ask for, or, may be we are not in a proper condition, either
physically or spiritually, or, may be the thing we ask for is
harmful for us and we have no knowledge of it, or, may be Allaah
has kept in store much more magnificent thing for future then that
we ask for, or, Allaah knows best what is good or bad for us.
He definitely loves all His creatures and so he can’t give a thing
to us that may do more harm then good. It is also mentioned in
some Hadees that we should not stop asking for our demands from
Allaah even if we see that is not fulfilled, because for every
unfulfilled Haajat there is a surprise gift for us in the next world,
the gift which is so marvelous and indescribable that when it will
be given to us there we will wish that it would have been very
good if all our Haajaat in the world were not answered.
Hereby are some A’amaal for the fulfillment of Haajaat:
(1) For a problem to be solved easily first pray Namaaz-e-
Shab, then Ziyarat-e-Aashura, and finally recite Ziyarat-
e-Jaamiah. This was prescribed by Imam-e-Zamaana A.F.
(ref. Mafaatihul Jinaan).
(2) Reciting Ziyarat of Imam Ali (A.S.) and Imam Hussain
(A.S.) is also highly recommended for Haajaat.
(3) Perform Ziyarat-e-Aashura with the intention of offering
its Sawaab to the Revered Mother of Imam-e-Zamaana A.F.
and then ask for your Haajat.

Qur’an to Janab-e-Bilaal, the respected Muezzin of the
Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W.)
(5) On Friday-night recite Duaa-e-Mashlool eleven times after
Ishaa prayers.
(6) It is stated that, if your Haajat is to be answered lately, then
recite Duaa-e-Tawassul, this will hasten its fulfillment.

we recite Amman Yujeebul Mudhtarra Idhaa Da’aahu
Wa Yakshifus-Sooa.
(8) Pray 2 rak’at Namaaz after midnight, in each Sajdah and

the sky and recite 30 times: Minal Abdidh –Dhaleel Ilal
Mawlal Jaleel.
(9) To accomplish an important assignment the following
A’amaal is very Mujarrab: Start on the day of Friday and

raheem, then, 11 times Salawaat, then, 100 times Yaa
Mufattihal Abwaab, Yaa Muqallibal Quloob Wal

e-Hojob, Duaa-e-Saheefah, Duaa-eYastashir and many

Aliyyil Adhweem, and then 3 times: Yaa Allaahu Yaa
Rahmaanu Yaa nooru Yaa Dhal Jalaali Wal Ikraam.
(17) This is also highly recommended for Haajaat. On Friday-
night after midnight, pray 2 rak’at Namaaz, in each rak’at
whle reciting Al-Hamd when you reach Iyyaka Na’budoo
Wa Iyyaka Nasta’een repeat this verse 100 times and then
continue the Surah. When you complete reciting Al-Hamd

also perform same way as in the first. When you finish the
Namaaz recite Tasbeeh. Then recite 70 times Laa Hawla

overcome the task and shall achieve success.
(19) Another beneficial A’amaal for immediate fulfillment of
Haajat is Namaaz-e-Ja’far-e-Tayyaar. It is a two-rak’at
Namaaz and you may refer to the final portions of this book

WUSAT-E-RIZQ (ABUNDANCE) AND

(33) A certain person said he did not find anything more

Sadiq A.S: “Allaahummar’zuqnee Min Fadhlikal

Duaa to be recited in the Sajdah of Namaaz-e-Tahajjud.

Yaa Waliyyil Mu’mineen Wa Yaa Dhal Quwwatil

Lahdhwatan Min Lahadhwaatik Tuyassiroo Alaa
Ghuramaa’I Bihal Qadhaa’a Wa Tuyassiru Lee Bihal
Iqtidhwaa’a Innaka Alaa Kulli Shay’in Qadeer.”
MARHOOM PARENTS
Allah (S.W.T.) emphasizes the worth and importance of parents at
various places in the Holy Qur’an. It is enough for the wise
person to realize this when he observes that the obedience of
parents is mentioned side by side with the worship of Allaah . It is
also authentically mentioned that if your parents are not pleased
with you all your worship and good deeds are gone waste, they
don’t have any value. And it is not limited for the living parents
only but even if they are dead you must remember them by
praying for them, attributing some good deeds to them, and
rectifying their faults (if any) in a proper way. Perhaps at the time
of departure from the world the parents were not pleased at heart
with their children, but if the children give due attention to their
parents’ well-being in the Hereafter by some good deeds, they
become pleased to them.
The world that is five feet under the earth is certainly a dreadful
place for the sinners. Although we should consider that all are
pious and righteous but one never knows in what condition there
the diseased is. Perhaps they are enjoying the fruits of their good
deeds and perhaps they are in trouble because of some lapse
during their lifetime. So if we perform any good deed on their
behalf or offer a Namaaz for them they surely are benefited by it,
and it is said that our 2 rak’at Namaaz for the Marhoom is
better for them then the riches of the whole world. If they are
not in any trouble there then the bounties are increased for them
and if they are in any tribulation then their pain is lessened or
wiped off. Moresover, the performer of good deed is also to be
rewarded.
Here below are stated some A’amaal for the benefit of diseased
parents, although they are said to benefit them but the performer
of these A’amaal are also nicely rewarded.
Especially on every Friday-night and on Friday children of the
Marhoom should pray for their parents and give charity on
their behalf.
(1) Reciting Surah-e-Yaaseen is very beneficent for the
Marhoom. He/she is tremendously rewarded for it.
(2) If one recites Surah-e-Mulk or 7 times Surah-e-Qadr by
the side of Marhoom’s grave, God-forbid if any
punishment is being implemented therein, it is instantly
ceased.
(3) Whenever you wish you can pray 2 rak’at Namaaz for
Marhoom, it gives a great joy to the diseased.
(4) On Friday-night (Shabe Jumma) or on any day you may
pray 2 rak’at Namaaz between Maghrib and Ishaa with
Niyyat of Maghfirat-e-Waalidayn. In the first rak’at after
Al-Hamd recite 10 times Rabbigh Firlee Waliwaalidayya
Walil Mu’mineena Yawma Yaqoomul Hisaab. And in
the second rak’at after Al-Hamd recite 10 times Rabbigh
Firlee Waliwaalidayya WalimanDakhala Baytiya
Mu’minan Walil Mu’mineena Wal Mu’minaat. Then
complete the Namaaz as usual. Then go into Sajdah and
recite 10 times—Rabbir Hamhuma Kamaa Rabbayaani
Swagheera.
(5) Some Tasbeeh of Salawaat and Istighfaar should be
offered on behalf of Marhoomeen every now and then.
(6) Pray 2 rak’at Namaaz for the benefit of Marhoom, in the
first rak’at after Al-Hamd recite Surah-e-Qadr and in the
second recite Surah-e-Kawsar.
(7) There is another Namaaz also for Marhoom. It is 2 rak’at,
in the first rak’at after Al-Hamd recite once Aayatul
Kursee and Surah-e-Ikhalaas 2 times and in the second
rak’at after Al-Hamd recite Surah-e- Takaasur 10 times.
This also carries a great reward for Marhoom and the
reciter also.
(8) If at all the son or a daughter did not fulfill the rights of
their parent during their lifetime, then they should pray
this Namaaz. InshaaAllaah the Marhoom parents shall be
pleased with them: Time: on the night between
Wednesday and Thursday. In between Maghrib and
Ishaa. Niyyat: Fulfillment of the rights of my parent(s).
Namaaz; 2 rak’at. In each rak’at after Al-Hamd recite 5
times Aayatul Kursee, 5 times Surah-e-Ikhlaas, 5 times
Surah-e-Kaafiroon, 5 times Surah-e-Falak, and 5 times
Surah-e-Naas. After you finish praying the Namaaz in this
way recite 15 times Astaghfirullaaha Wa Atoobu Ilayh.
Dedicate the Sawaab of this A’amaal to the Marhoom
parent and you shall get the reward of fulfilling their rights.
(9) If atall, you suspect that there were some wrong
transactiones committed by your parents so you would
naturally wish that they should not be punished for that.
Therefore its remedy is that first you should try to rectify if
possible, try to make the wronged pepople be pleased with
your parents by recompensing some thing that they would
appreciate, and then observe this prayer on behalf of your
parents: Pray 4 rak’ar Namaaz in sets if 2 rak’at each. In
the 1st rak’st after Al-Hamd ecite Surah-e- Ikhlaas 25
times, in the 2 nd rak’at 50 times, in the3 rak’at 75 times
and in the 4 th rak’at 100 times. After Namaaz recite this
Duaa: Allaahumma Swalli Ala Muhammadin Wa Aali
Muhammad, Bismil-Laahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem. Yaa

DISEASE / ILLNESS / SICKNESS
The All-Merciful Allaah (S.W.T.) is so much kind towards His
creation that when a person falls sick he is rewarded for it. It is
narrated that the Angels who record deeds are commanded to
record the good deeds of a sick person even though he has not
performed any good deed during his sickness, but only because he
used to do good deeds during his healthy days. Even when a
person becomes old and he can’t perform the good deeds which he
used to perfom in his youthful and healthy days, Allaah (S.W.T.)
credits his account of good deeds because he used to do it in his
good days.
Imaam Muhammad Baaqir (A.S.) said that remaining sick and
painful for one night is better then the worship of one year; a
fever of one night is the means of Kaffaara of one years’ sins. But
this advantage is only for that person who does not complain for
his or her sickness or pain.
Imaam Ja’afar Saadiq (A.S.) said that the person who is a beloved
of Allaah is bestowed with either of these three gifts, fever,
headache, or paining eyes.
Howsoever, there are many causes of disease and sickness. One of
the causes may be because of our own negligence on the part of
hygiene, or it is hereditary, or it is because of carelessness in
consumption of food, or it may be atonement for our sins.
Howsoever, it is everybody’s duty to be on safe side and protect
oneself from disease at whatever extent it is possible.
Nevertheless there are some people who are quite fit but they do
not feel well any day. They always complain about their health
and they really look like sick, but they are not. This is because of
mental thinking of a person; psychological problem causes him or
her to consider oneself to be a sick person while physically they
might be very well. If one removes the negative thinking from his
mind he is surely cured without a tablet of medicine. In
contradiction to this there are people who create such a firm will-
power in their minds that even they are really sick, but they do not
pamper their thought of sickness and thus we can see they live the
life as wonders.
However, besides the precautions and cures we must also seek
help from Almighty Allaah (S.W.T.) because no medicine can
work without His permission. There is a well-known episode of
Nabi Moosa (A.S.) that once when he was sick he sought help
from Allaah (S.W.T.) He was directed to go to the bush and
collect a certain type of herb to use for his sickness. He did
accordingly and was cured. Next time when he was sick he went
directly to the bush, collected the herb and used it but with no
effect. Enquiring from Allaah he was told that the first time he
asked help from Allaah so he was successful but the other time he
did not do so, that was the reason.
Hereunder are the mention of some essential Duaas and A’amaal,
Inshaa- Allaah, for the complete cure of disease, illnesses, and
sicknesses.
For any type of disease recite Surah Al-Hamd 7 or 70
times over the forehead of the patient
(1) Various diseases can be avoided by reciting Surah An-
Nahl once a month.
(2) Regular recitation of Sura-e-Yaaseen has the merit of
curing and protecting from various dangerous diseases.
(3) Write Surah Al-Mujaadilah and place it on the paining
part, the pain will disappear at once.
(4) When you are doubtful to consume certain food that
whether it will harm your health or not, then recite
Surah Al-Quraysh over it and the food will do no
harm to you.
(5) Khaaq-e-Shifaa is a sure remedy for every disease, but
we should better know its usage and particular Duaa to
be recited before using it. If it is very necessary then it
is allowed to take a very small piece of Khaaq-e-Shifaa,
put it in the mouth and drink water over it and recite
this Duaa: Allaahummaj’alhu Rizqan Waasi’an Wa
Ilman Naafi’an Wa Shiffa’an Min Kulli Daa’in Wa
Suqmin.
(6) A sick person should himself/herself recite this Duaa
for the recovery: Allaahumma Ashfinee bi Shifaa’ika,
Wa Daawinee Bi Dawaaika, Wa Aafinee Min
Balaa’ika, Fa Innee Abduka Wabnu Abdika.
(7) It is narrated that we should seek Waseela of Imaam
Moosa-e-Kadhim (A.S.) for getting well from disease.
To keep Nazar that I shall offer 1400 or 14000
Salawaat to the Imaam is a sure way to recover.
(8) Keep some Sadaqa under the pillow of the sick person
and recite the following Duaa: Allaahumma Innee
As’aluka Bihaqqee Waliyyika Moosa-bni Ja’afar,
Illaa Aafaytanee Fee Jamee’I Jawaarihi Maa
Dhwahara Minhaa Wamaa Batwan, Wa Daf’at
Annee Jamee’il Aalaami Wal Askaami Yaa Jawaadu
Yaa Kareem Yaa Arhamar-Raahimeen. Then give
that Sadqa to a poor in the morning. InshaaAllaah the
sick shall be cured.
(9) To cure any type of fever recite 1000 times Surah-e-
Ikhlaas and beseech Allaah to cure the sickness in the
name of Bibi Fatima (S.A.)
(10) If the recovery from sickness seems hard then daily
recite 18 times Naadey Aliyyan over the glass of pure
water and give it to the patient to drink, Inshaa-Allaah
the disease will disappear.
(11) Reciting Naadey Aliyyan regularly 27 times daily
keeps the sickness away.
(12) Whatsoever dreadful or incurable disease may it be, if
these Holy Names are recited over it with purity of
intention and sincerity in faith, the recovery will
astonish everybody: Yaa Hafeedhu, Yaa Salaamu,
Yaa Naafiu, Yaa Baakiu, Yaa Kareemu, Yaa
Ghafooru, Yaa Haadiyu. This may be recited 3, 5, or
7 times each.
(13) The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W.) said that if one recites
this Duaa 40 times after Namaaz-e-Sub’h the disease
will be cured: Bismillaahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem,
Alhamdu Lillaahi Rabbil Aalameen, Wa
Hasbunallaahu Wa Ni’amal Wakeel,

Layuzliqoonaka Bi Abswaarihim Lammaa

Aalameen.”
(51) Once a pale-faced person came to Imaam Ameerul
Mu’mineen (A.S.) and complained about his constant
sickness and disease and asked for the remedy. The
Imaam said that he was showing him a Duaa which was
brought by Jibraeel (A.S.) to Rasoolullaah (S.A.W.W.)
when Imaam Hasan (A.S.) and Imaam Hussain (A.S.)
were sick. This is the Duaa: “Ilaahee Kullamaa
An’Amta Alayya Ni’amatan Qalla Laka Indahaa
Shukree, Wa Kulla Mamtalaytanee Bi Baliyyatin
Qalla Laka Indahaa Swabree, Fa Yaa Man Qalla

recite the following Duaa over it and then drink that
water: “Awalam Yaral-Ladheena Kafaroo Annas-
Samaawaati Wal Ardhi Kaanataa Ratqan
Fafataqnaa Humaa Wa Ja’alnaa Minal Maa’i Kulla
Shay’in Hayyin Afalaa Yu’minoon.”
(54) This Duaa was given to Imaam Ameerul Mu’mineen
(A.S.) by Rasoolullaah (S.A.W.W.) for curing Fever:
“Allaahummar’ham Jildiyar-Raqeeq Wa Adhmiyad-
Daqeeq Wa Aoodhoo Bika Min Fawratil Hareeq,
Yaa Umma Mildamin In Kunti Aamanti Billaahi

(55) For curing the Fever one should unbutton the shirt and
put his head inside , then therein recite Adhaan and
Iqaamah once and 7 times S. Al-Hamd.
(56) To remain safe from disease recite: “Bismillaahi Wa
Billaahi Kam-Min Ni’amatin Lillaahi Fee Irqin

Duaa: “Allaahumma Innee As’aluka Ta’ajeela
Aafiyatika Wa Swabran Alaa Baliyyatik Wa
Khuroojan Ilaa Rahmatik.”
(58) Put your hand on the paining part and recite 3 times:
“Allaahumma Innee As’aluka BiHaqqil Qur’aanil

Wahuwa Indak Fee Ummil Kitaabi Aliyyun
Hakeemun An Tashfiyanee Bi Shifaa’ika Wa

every type of illness : Ueedhu Nafsee Bi Rabbil Ardhi
Wa Rabbis-Samaai, Ueedhu Nafsee Bil-Ladhee Laa
Yadhurru Ma’asmihee Daa’un, Ueedhu Nafsee
Billaahil-Ladhi-smuhu Barakatun Wa Shifaaun.
HEREAFTER
It is very beneficial to recite this Duaa at various instances for
the forgivness of our sins, specificaly this helps at the last
moments of life when it is a critical moment of the departure
of soul to the next world: Yaa Man ‘ Yaqbalul Yaseer, Wa
Ya’afoo Anil Katheer, Iqbal Minnil Yaseer, Wa’afoo
Anneel Katheer, Innaka Antal Ghafforur-Raheem.
As the last moments of life are very critical and Shaytaan
comes to destroy our Eemaan it is of utmost importance that
one should always preserve in mind all the five Usool-e-Deen
and beseech Allaah (S.W.T.) that on his last moments he
should be firm on them. Ask Allaah by the following Duaa
that this is your trust and that he return it to you at the time of
death: Allaahumma Yaa Arhamar-Raahimeen, Innee Qad
Awada’atuka Yaqeenee Haadhaa Wa Thabaata Deenee
Wa Anta Mustwdioo Waqad Amartanaa Bi Hifdhil
Wadaai’a, Fa Ruddahoo Alayya Waqta Hudhooree
Mawtee.
[It is necessary that we understand in detail the meanings of
Tawheed, Adal, Nubuwwat, Imaamat, and Qayaamat. The
apparent meaning for mere memorizing shall not avail us of
any good. ]
For experiencing ease when the time to depart from this world
comes one should always practice atleast these two things: (a)
be obedient to parents, and (b) do Seela-e-Raham, i.e. to be
lenient, kind, forgiving and generous to relatives.
Always recite Surah-e-Zilzaal in Sunnat Namaaz. [*]
To depart with Eemaan one should (a) recite Surah-e-
Mu’minoon on Fridays, (b) recite Duaa-e-Tamjeed of
Saheefa-e-Kaamila Duaa no:11.
For being safe from Fishaar-e-Kabr ; On the eve of 1st Rajab
pray 20 rak’at Namaaz as usual of 2 rak’at each, and after Al-
Hamd recite S.Ikhlaas once. And on the day of 1st Rajab recite
10 rak’at Namaaz in each rak’at after Al-Hamd recite
S.Ikhlaas 3 times.
On the eve of 7th Rajab: Pray 4 rak’at Namaaz, in each rak’at
after Al-Hamd recite 3 times Surah-e-Tawheed and once
Maoodhatain (S.Falak and S.Naas), after Namaaz recite
Salawaat and 10 times Tasbihaat-e-Arba’aa. The benefit of
this A’mal is that you will get the Sawaab of those who have
fasted, Sakaraat will be easy, Fishaar in the grave will be
removed, and you will be happy on the Day of Judgement.
On the eve of 22nd Rajab: Pray 8 rak’at Namaaz, in each rak’at
after Al-Hamd recite 7 times Surah-e-Tawheed, after Namaaz
recite 10 times Salawaat and 10 times Istighfaar.
Observe fasting for 4 days on any day in the month of Rajab
and 12 days in the month of Sha’baan.
In Sha’baan, at any time pray 4 rak’at Namaaz, in each rak’at
after Al-Hamd recite 50 times Surah-e-Tawheed.
Anyone reciting 100 times Laa Ilaaha Illallaahul Malikul
Haqqul Mubeen daily, will be free from the fear and
dreadfulness in the grave.
To be safe from Fishaar-e-Kabr one should recite Surah-e-
Nisaa and S.Zukhruf on Fridays; should also recite
S.Qalam in Sunnat Namaaz, and should recite S.Mulk and
S.Taqaasur at the time of going to sleep.
On the eve of Friday (Jumma Raat) pray 2 rak’at Namaaaz in
each rak’at after Al-Hamd recite Surah-e-Zilzaal 15 times.
[*]
In the Qunoot of Namaaz recite: Rabbanaa Laa Tuzigh
Quloobana Ba’ada Idh Hadaytanaa Wa Hablanaa Min
Ladunka Rahmatan, Innaka Antal Wahhaab. And / Or
another Duaa: Yaa Allaahu Yaa Rahmaanu Yaa Raheem
Yaa Muqallibal Quloob Sabbit Qalbee Alaa Deenik. And /
Or: Rabbanaa Afrigh Alaynaa Swabran Wa Tawaffanaa
Muslimeen. And/Or: Tawaffanee Musliman Wa Alhiqnee
Bis-Swaaliheen. And/ Or: Rabbanagh Firlanaa
Dhunoobana Wa Israafinaa Fee Amrinaa Wa Thabbit
Aqdaamanaa Wansurnaa Alal Qawmil Kaafireen.
If one always recites Surah-e-Al-Haaqqah his Imaan will be
safe for ever .
Duaa-e-Adeelah is such a Duaa that if Shaytaan tries all his
technics to destroy the Imaan but he will fail. So it is essential
that we should often recite this Duaa. (refer Majmooa).
Praying Namaaz-e-Shab regularly saves one from the sqeeze
of grave and grant immunity from the Hell-fire. [*]
To remain in the state of Najaasat after urinating, creating
mischief amongst people, back- biting, and Qat-e-Raham are
the causes of sqeezing in the grave, so these should be
avoided from the very root cause.
The first night in the grave is the most dreadful time for the
deseased. The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W.) said to give Sadaqa
for the safety of the dead person, and if you do not have
anything for Sadaqa pray 2 rak’at Namaaz in which recite
S.Tawheed two times after S.Al-Hamd in the 1st rak’at and
recite 10 times S.Takaasur in the 2nd rak’at after A.Al-Hamd.
After finishing praying this Namaaz recie ‘Allaahumma
Swalli Alaa Muhammadin Wa Aali Muhammad, Wab’ath
Thawaabahaa Ilaa Qabri Dhaalikal Mayyit ( Fulaan bin
Fulaan). Allaah will immediately send 1000 Angels to the
grave of that dead person with attires of Paradise, and will
expand his grave till Qayaamat, and for the person who has
recited this Namaaz for the deseased, Allaah will offer him
great rewards and exalt his position fourty times.
Another Namaaz for the dead person (also called Namaaz-e-
Wahshat) is to be performed on the first night of burial
thus:Two rak’at Namaaz, after Al-Hamd, in 1st rak’at recite
Aayatul Qursee and in the 2nd rak’at after Al-Hamd recite ten
times S. Qadr. After Namaaz recite: ‘Allaahumma Swalli
Alaa Muhammadin Wa Aali Muhammad Wab’ath
Thawaabahaa Ilaa Qabri… (here say the name of
Marhoom).
At the time of death Shaytaan approaches and tries to spoil the
faith of the believer. Therefore one who wishes to remain safe
from the mischief of Shataan should preserve five proofs
regarding fundamental principles of faith, i.e. Usool-e-Deen in
his mind and present it to Allaah’s custody so that at the time
of death these may be handy at that critical time. And this
Duaa should be recited: ‘ Allaahumma Yaa Arhamar-
Raahimeen Innee Qad Awda’atuka Yaqeenee Haadhaa Wa
Thabaata Deenee Wa Anta Mustawdi’a Wa Qad
Amartanaa Bi Hifdhil Wadaai’a Faruddahoo Alayya
Waqta Hudhoori Mawtee.’
Reciting S. Yaaseen, S. Swaaffaat and the following Duaa
helps in the tribulation during death: ‘ Laa Ilaaha Illallaahul
Haleemu Kareem Laa Ilaaha Illallaahul Aliyyul Adhweem,
Sub’haanallaahi Rabbis-Samaawaatis-Sab’i, Wa Rabbil
Aradhweenas-Sab’i Wamaa Fee Hinna Wamaa Bayna
Hunna Wamaa Fawqa Hunna Wamaa Tahta Hunna Wa
Huwa Rabbul Arshil Adhweem Wal Hamdu Lillaahi
Rabbil Aalameen.’
Reciting this Duaa also is very beneficial at the time of death:
‘Yaa Man’Yaqbalul Yaseer Wa Ya’afu Anil Katheer Iqbal
Minnil Yaseer Wa’afu Annil Katheer, Innaka Antal
Ghafoorur-Raheem.’
TRAVEL LING
Imaam Jaa’far Saadiq (A.S.) said that there should be only three
purposes for making a journey, they are: (a) for gaining Sawaab in
Aakherat, (b) for prosperity in this life, & (c) merely to have
relaxation, sight-seeing, or lawful pleasure in traveling. Go on
travel so that you gain good health; do Jihaad so that you get
blessings in both worlds; and go for Hajj so as to become rich and
self-dependant. Traveling is a sort of trouble so as soon as your
job is accomplished return soon to your home. Travel on
Tuesdays to accomplish your hard tasks, because it is a day when
Allaah (S.W.T.) softened the iron for Nabii Daawood (A.S.) The
one who travels on Saturday shall return to his home because even
if a stone moves away from its place in a mountain it will return
again to it. The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W.) preferred to travel on
Thursday because he said it was the day liked by Allaah, The
Prophet, and Angels.
Our 5th and 6th Imaam (A.S.) said that it is Makrooh (abominable,
detestable) to travel by sea going for trading purpose. Imaam Ali
(A.S.) said that the one who travels by sea on business trip has not
tried to generate his earnings by more superior ways.
(1) It is not good to travel on Nahas Days but if need arises
one can travel on those days after giving Sadaqa and
praying to Allaah for safety.
(2) It is disliked to travel on 3rd, 4th, 21st, and 25th of lunar
months, so if possible try to avoid traveling on these
days.
(3) Even though it is allowed to travel on any day of the
week but Saturdays, Tuesdays and Thursdays are
considered good for travelling.
(4) If travelling is for the purpose of lawful business
transactions then Tuesday is the best day to undertake
the journey.
(5) If you are all alone on safari recite this Duaa: Maashaa-
Allaah Laa Hawla Walaa Quwwata Illaa Billaah,
Allaahummaa Aanis Wahshatee, Wa Ainnee Alaa
Wahdatee Wa Addee Ghaybatee.
(6) At the commencement of journey and all along the safari
this Duaa should be recited every now and then:
Bismillaahi Aamantu Billaahi, Watawaqqaltu
Alallaahi, Maashaa-Allaah Laa Hawla Walaa
Quwwata Illaa Billaah.
(7) While boarding the vehicle of travel recite: Bismillaahi
Walaa Quwwata Illaa Billaahi Al-Hamdulillaahil-
Ladhee Sakh-Khara lanaa Haadhaa Wamaa Kunnaa
Lahoo Mukrineen, Wa Innaa Ilaa Rabbina La-mun-
qaliboon.
(8) When entering a town or a city to which you are not
familiar to, recite: Allaahumma Innee As’aluka
Khyrahaa, Wa A’oodhoo Bika Min Sharrihaa,
Allaahumma Habbib Lanaa Ahlihaa Wa Habbib
Swaalihi Ahlihaa Ilayna.
(9) While embarking from the vehicle of travel recite: Rabbi
Anzilnee Manzilan Mubaarakan Wa Anta Khayrul
Munzileen.
(10) While you are on journey away from home recite this
Duaa every night before going to sleep: Recite Aayatul
Qursee, then recite-Allaahummaj’al Masweeree
Ibaran Wa Sumtee Tafakkuran Wa Kalaamee
Dhikraa.
(11) While starting the journey recite 11 times Surah-e-
Ikhlaas, Tasbeeh of Bibi Faatima (S.A.) and Al-
Waheedu as many times as possible.
(12) Before starting traveling, first pray 2 rak’at Namaaz and
recite this Duaa: Allaahumma Astawdi’uka Nafsee Wa
Ahlee Wa Maalee Wa Deenee Wa Dunyaayi Wa
Aakhiratee Wa Khawaateema Amalee.
(13) Reciting Surah An-Nabaa in the journey brings safety
and success.
(14) One who is going on safari and wishes to return safely
to his family should recite the following Duaa when he
is to come out of his house for the journey: Bismillaahi
Makhrajee Wa Bi Idh-nihi Kharajtu Wa Qad Alima
An Akhruja Khurooji Wa Qad Ahswaa Ilmuhu Maa
Fi Makhraji Wa Marji’ee Tawaqqaltu Alal Ilaahill
Akbari, Tawaqqula Mufawwidhwan Alayhi Amruhu
Wa Musta’eenin Bihi Alaa Shu’oonihi Mustazeedin
Min Fadhlihi Mubri’in Nafsahu Min Kulli Hawlin Wa
Min Kulli Quwwatin Bihi Khurooja Dhwareerin
Kharaja Bi Dhurrihi Alaa Man Yakshifuhu, Wa
Khurooja Faqeerin Kharaja Bi Faqrihi, Ilaa Man
Yasudduhu, Wa Khurooja Aailin Kharaja Bi Eelatihi,
Ilaa Man Yughneeha, Wa Khurooja Man Rabbuhu
Akbaru Thikatihi, Wa A’adhwamu Rajaaihi Wa
Afdhalu Umniyyatihi, Allaahu Thiqatee Fi Jamee’i
Umooree Kulliha Bihee Feehaa Jamee’an Asta’eenu
Walaa Shay Illaa MaashaaAllaahu Fi Ilmihi
As’alullaaha Khayral Makhraji Wal Madkhali, Laa
Ilaaha Illaa Huwa Ilayhil Masweeru.
(15) It is recommended that when one returns from a journey
he should bring some gifts for his family members, and
arrange for a feast/ banquet / ceremonial dinner for his
brothers-in-faith.
(16) It is reported from Rasoolullaah (S.A.W.W.) that when a
person sits on his means of riding and says ‘Bismillaah’
then an Angel also accompanies him and protects him,
but if he does not say so a Shaytaan accompanies him
and makes him go astray.

FRIDAY-NIGHT & DAY
( JUMME-RAAT AND JUMUAH )
Friday-night, i.e. the night preceding the day of Friday is a very
blessed, holy, sacred, and meritorious night, as well is for the day
of Friday. Angels ascend from heavens onto the earth to record
the deeds of people as these revered days and nights possess
special merits. Good deeds and Salawaat are rewarded manifold.
There are some A’amaal to be performed on these events, some of
them are stated here below:
Recite Slawaat abundantly starting from the Asr of Thursay
till at night on Friday. Imaam Ja’afar Saadiq (A.S.) said that
reciting Salawaat gets the Sawaab of 1000 merits (nekee) and
1000 sins are pardoned. Special Salawaat for these times is:
“Allaahumma Swalli Alaa Muhammadin Wa Aali
Muhammad Wa Ajjil Farajahum Wa Ahlik Aduwwihim
Minal Jinni Wal Insi Minal Awwaleen Wal Aakhareen.”
Do as much Istighfaar as possible. Recite Tasbeeh for Tawba,
recite Namaaz for Tawba, recite Duaas for Tawba, etc. Pray
Namaaz-e-Ameerul Mu’mineen for requesting Allaah
(S.W.T.) to forgive our sins, (this is beneficial for Fishaare
Kabr and dreadfulness of Qayaamat) its method is this: Pray 2
rak’at Namaaz, in each rak’at after Al-Hamd recite 15 times
Surah-e-Zilzaal.
On these auspicious occasions we should not forget our
existing and deseased parents, relatives, Muallims, Scholars,
Ulamaa, Neighbours, and all Mu’mineen and Mu’minaat, pray
for their well-being and in return the Angels will pray for you.
Recite Holy Qur’an. Atleast these Holy Surahs should be
recited, each has its own separate advantage for us: Surah-e-
Waaqiah, S.Rahmaan, S.Dukhaan, S.Swaad, S.Ahqaaf,
S.Sajdah, 3 S.Tawaaseen, S. Yaaseen, S.Jumuah, S.Kahaf,
S.Banee Israaeel.
Send gifts to our Marhoomeen in the form of Namaaz-e-
Hadiya, Qur’an, Duaas, Sadaqah, Khayraat, Radde
Madhaalim.
It is stated that when one goes to the grave of a Marhoom and
places the hand on it and recites S.Al-Hamd and 11 times
S.Ikhlaas or 7 times S.Qadr or S.Waaqiah or S.Mulk then
if atall there is a punishment being meted out to the diseased it
abruptly stops and the Marhoom gets excellent rewards.
For any Haajat one should recite Duaa-e-Mashlool.
On Friday if one recites 10 times S. Kaafiroon before sunrise
and requests Allah for his needs they shall be fulfilled. [*]
It s highly emphasized to make Ghusl on Friday.
Recite atleast these Surahs of the Holy Qur’an: S. Yaaseen, S.
Rahmaan, S. Ahqaaf, S. Kahaf, S. Mu’minoon, S. Was-
Swaaffaat, S. Nisaa, S. A’araaf, S. Hood.
For Haajat to be granted: Pray Namaaz-e-Ja’afar-e-Tayyaar.
[*]
For the safety of Imaam-e-Zamaana recite Duaas, and give
Sadaqah on Imaam’s behalf.
For Rizq-e-Akbar (bumper harvest) recite 70 times this Duaa
before noon: “Yaa Mufeedu Yaa Ghafooru Yaa Wadood
Aghninee Bi Halaalik An Haraamik Wa Bi Twaa’atik An
Ma’aswiyatik Wa Bi Fadhlik Amman Siwaak Bi Rahmatik
Yaa Arhamar-Raahimeen.”
For the repayment of debts recite this Duaa:
Allaahummakfinee Bi Halaalika An Haraamika Wa
Aghninee Bi Fadhlika Amman Siwaak Yaa Hayyu Yaa
Qayyoom.
After Asr recite Duaa-e-Asharaat. ( ref. M.Jinaan)
Before sunset recite Duaa-e-Samaat. (ref. M.Jinaan)
To see one’s place in Jannat: Pray two rak’at Namaaz after
Asr prayers, in which after Al-Hamd recite Aayatul Kursee
and 25 times S. Al-Falak, in the second rak’at recite after Al-
Hamd recite S.Ikhlaas and 25 times S.An-Naas. After Namaaz
recite 25 times – Laa Hawla Walaa Quwwat Illaa Billaahil
Aliyyil Adhweem.
On the Friday one should put on clean and good cloths, trim
moustaches and nails, wear good perfume, and make the
family members feel happy and pleased.It is narrated that any
charity given on a Friday or its night have one thoushand
Sawaab more then that of other days.
There are various magnificient Ziyaaraat and Namaz
specifically for every Holy Ma’soom, which should be prayed
on Fridays.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
For more details on the A’amaal of Friday night and Fridays
please refer to Mafaatihul Jinaan.
BED-TIME DUAAS
It is highly emphasized to do Wudhoo ( i.e. Wazu ) before going
to sleep because it carries much Sawaab. A person sleeping on a
Taahir (paak or clean) bedding in the state of having performed
Wudhoo gets the reward of having done worship for the whole
night. Moreover, before falling asleep it is essentially
recommended to take account of all our deeds of the past day so
as to rewind our tape of memory of good and bad deeds we have
committed, thus, eventually realizing our position on the scale of
morality, and if the scale of bad deeds is heavier then good deeds
we should attempt to reverse the scale in the next coming day.
It is wisely said that take your reckoning yourself before you are
taken to be reckoned, or, do your Hisaab yourself before your
Hisaab is done, i.e. done by dreadful angels.
Sleep is said to be a sister of death. So when one goes to sleep
he/she should realize that there is however no any surety of
getting up again, therefore it is very important that when we sleep
we must possess a clean heart filled with pure faith. Perhaps we
may not get a chance to rectify the past wrongs. So first of all one
should revive his or her faith, i.e. confirm from the bottom of the
heart all that is necessary for a believer. Then do Istighfaar and
recite the recommended Duaas.
It should be remembered that it is Makrooh to keep awake after
Ishaa for merely chatting and wasting time in vain talks. The Holy
Prophet (S.A.W.W.) said that except for three things it is not good
to keep awake at night, they are: (1) for Namaaz-e-Shab, (2) for
reciting Holy Qur’aan or for education, and (3) for that bride who
came to her husband’s house on the first night. It is also Makrroh
to sleep (a) upto sun-rise, (b) in-between Maghrib and Ishaa, and
(c) after the time of Asr.
And it is recommendable to have a short nap just before Zohr (in
summer), and siesta after Namaaz-e-Zohr and Asr. A person
complained to the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W.) of the loss of
memory, he was advised to have a small amount of sleep in the
afternoon, he acted likewise and was cured of his complaint.
It is Sunnat while going to sleep to lie down on the right side and
put the hand under the cheek. It is Makrooh to lie down on the left
side.
There are some very good Duaas to be recited at the time of going
to bed. They are as follows:
(1) Recite 3 times Surah-e-Ikhlaas and Surah-e-Takaasoor.
(2) Reciting this Dauaa earns Sawaab of 1000 rak’at Namaaz:
“Yaf’alullaahu Maa Yashaau Bi Qudratihee, Wa Yahkumu
Maa Yureedu Bi Izzatihee.”
(3) Recite Salawaat on all Prophets, Tasbihaat-e-Arba’aa,
and Istighfaar for all Mu’mineen wal Mu’minaat.
(4) Recite “Al-Qayyoomu” (The Everlasting) 156 times to
have a sound sleep.
(5) Recite 100 times “Al-Baaisu” for the increase in wisdom,
or 573 times the same for increase in intellectual power.
(6) Recite Tasbeeh of Bibi Faatima Zehra (S.A.)
(7) Recite Surah-e-Hashr and S.Az-Zaariyaat (this increases
sustenance).

Inna Rabbee Alaa Swiraatum Mustaqeem.”
(9) To remain safe from Ehtelaam (omission of semen) recite:

Jam’illaahi Wa Aoodhu Bi Mulkillaahi Wa Aoodhu Bi
Wajhillaahi Wa Aoodhu Bi Rasoolillaahi (S.A.W.W.) Min
Sharri Maa Khalaqa Wa Bara’a Wa Dhara’a.”
(13) To wake up at desired time recite: “Allaahumma Laa
Tu’minnee Makraka Walaa Tunsinaa Dhikraka Walaa
Taj’alnee Minal Ghaafileena Aqoomu Saa’ata…” (here
you determine the time)
(14) When you fear you would not be able to wake up at a
desired time then recite this Duaa: “Qul Innamaa
Basharun Mislokum Yoohaa Elayya Annamaa
Elaahokum Elaahin Waahid, Famankaana Yarjoo
Liqaa’a Rabbihee Falya’amal Swaalihan Walaa Yushrik
Bee Ibaadatee Rabbihee Ahadaa.”

DUAAS OF
IMAAM-E-ZAMAANA A.F.
Not a single day has passed on the earth when its inhabitants did
not have their Leader here. From day-one each community did
possess its Leader by one way or the other. We being Muslims,
the followers of a religion chosen by Allaah (S.W.T.) for
mankind, have been blessed with a sinless Leader in every era,
who is also the most knowledgeable, courageous, patient, brave,
and endowed with all perfections. After the Holy Prophet
(S.A.W.W.) we are commanded to follow his 12 holy household
members who are the guides for the mankind as ordained by
Allaah (S.W.T.) They were from Imaam Ali (A.S.) upto Imaam
Hasan Askari (A.S.) and we are at present passing in the era of the
last vicegerent of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W.) i.e. the 12th
Imaam, i.e. Hujjat-Ibnul-Hasan Imaam Muhammad Mehdi
Swaahibuz-Zamaan (A.S.) who is the present Imaam of the age
and the right guide for the mankind. We firmly believe that even
though The Imaam A.F. is in Ghaibat (Hidden from our sight) but
he is aware of all our deeds and conditions. Whenever need arises
The Imaam extends his helping hand to us. And Inshaa’Allaah he
will soon reappear to us and wipe out all evils from its grassroot
levels and finally peace, tranquility, and justice shall prevail from
Easts to Wests.
It is also our firm belief that all our deeds, good and bad, are
presented to the Imaam, when he sees our good deeds he is happy
but he becomes sad and sorrowful when he sees our bad deeds. So
we should always keep in mind that there is no any other
exceeding good act to that of making our Imaam be happy, and
there is no any worst thing then that to make our Imaam weep on
seeing us committing bad deeds.Thus all our deeds should incline
towards goodness at every moment of our lives, so as to please
Allaah, His Prophet, and our Imaam. (A.S.)
A true and sicere devotee of the Imaam should have pure affection
towards him and should remain sorrowful because of the absence
of our Imaam from our sights. Indeed it is a great calamity to be
deprived of his holy company. May be this is because of our sins
or unworthiness or any other reason, Allaah (S.W.T.) knows
better. We should always pray to Allaah for his safety,
reappearence, and request Allaah (S.W.T.)that we should be
included amongst the The Imaam’s true followers. Not forgetting
that a true follower can only be such who follows the rules and
regulations of Shareeah commanded by Allaah (S.W.T.)
Therefore it is our foremost duty to remember our Imaam at all
times. Especially while praying Duaa we should beseech
Almighty Allaah (S.W.T.) for the safety and speedy reappearence
of our Leader, Imaam-e-Zamaana A.F. Hereunder are some Duaas
concerning the Imaam of the age:
Atleast after every Namaaz one shoud recite this Duaa to
acknowledge the presence of Imaam as the Devine Guide
and asking Allaah for his safety upto the time when his rule
is established over the earth: Allaahumma Kun Li
Waliyyikal Hujjaatibnil Hasan Swalawaatuka Alayhi
Wa Alaa Aabaaihi Fee Haadhihis-Saa’ati Wa Fee Kulli
Saa’atin, Walliyyan Wa Haafidhwan Wa Qaaidan Wa
Naaswiran Wa Daleelan Wa Aynan Hatta Tuskinahu
Ardhaka Twaw’an Wa Tumati’ahoo Feehaa Twaweela.
Recite this Duaa during the Ghaybat of the Imaam A.F.:
Allaahumma Arrifnee Nafsaka Fa Innaka Inlam
Tu’arrifnee Nafsaka Lam A’arif Nabiyyaka,
Allaahumma Arrifnee Rasoolaka Fa Innaka Inlam
Tu’arrifnee Rasoolaka Lam A’arif Hujjataka
Allaahumma Arrifnee Hujjataka Fa Innaka Inlam
Tu’arrifnee Hujjataka Dhwalaltu An Deenee.
Everyday after Namaaz-e-Sub’h recite this Duaa starting
with these words: Allaahumma Balligh Mawlaaya
Swaahibuz-Zamaan… [*].
Imaam Radha (A.S.) said to recite this Duaa for Imaam
Swaahibul Asri Waz-Zamaan, the Duaa starting with these
words: Allaahumad’fa’a An Waliyyika Wa

Lillahil-Ladhee Lam Yattakhidh Swaahibatan Walaa
Waladan Walam Yakun Lahoo Shareekun Fil Mulki
Walam Yakun Lahoo Waliyyun Minadh-Dhulli Wa
Kabbirhu Takbeera.”

Waajib on a Muslim to recite this Duaa everyday before

Yuhyee Wa Yumeetu Wahuwa Hayyun Laa Yamootu
Biyadihil Khayru Wahuwa Alaa Kulli Shay’in Qadeer.”
(3) First thing in the morning while getting up from bed one
should recite this 10 times so as to be protected from all
problems during the day: “Bismil-Laahir-Rahmaanir-
Raheem, Laa Hawla Walaa Quwwata Illaa Billahil
Aliyyil Adhweem.”
(4) It is also recommended by Ma’soomeen (A.S.) to recite this
10 times every morning and evening: “Sub’haanallaahi
Wal Hamdu Lillaahi Wa Laa Ilaaha Illallaahu
Wallaahu Akbar.”
(5) Every mormning we should remember four bleesings which
Allaah (S.W.T.) has given to us and thus recite the Duaa :
“Alhamdu Lillaahil-Ladhee Arrafanee Nafsahoo
Walam Yatruqnee Amyaanal Qalb. Alhamdu Lillaahil-
Ladhee Ja’alanee Min Ummati Muhammadin
Swallallaahu Alayhi Wa Aalihee. Alhamdu Lillaahil-

Hamdan Kaseeran Twayyiban Mubaarakan Feehi.”
(7) It is reported from authentic books that one who recites the
following SALAWAAT every morning and evening, 3
times, his/her sins shall be forgiven, he/she shall always
remain pleased and happy, the needs shall be fulfilled,
sustenance increased, shall overcome the enemies, and in
Jannat shall be near the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W.) it is this
Salawaat: “Allaahumma Swalli Alaa Muhammadin Wa
Aali Muhammadin Fil Awwaleen, Wa Swalli Alaa
Muhammadin Wa Aali Muhammadin Fil Aakhireen,
Wa Swalli Alaa Muhammadin Wa Aali Muhammadin

Aalihee Wa Lam Arahoo Fa Arenee Fil Jinaani
Wajhahoo, Allaahumma Balligh Rooha Muhammadin

(8) As we remember the the most cruel atrocities, carnages and
killings committed by the despots and enemies of Ahlul
Bait it is our duty to curse all those Zaalims every time,
especially in these words which are in Ziyaarat-e-
Aashoora: “Allaahul’an Awwala Dhwaalimin Dhwalama
Haqqa Muhammadin Wa Aali Muhammadin Wa
Aakhira Taabi’in Lahoo Alaa Dhaalika,
Allaahumal’anil Iswaabatil-Latee Jaahadatil Husayn,

Ashiyyan Wa Heena Tudh’hiroon.”
(11) A person came to the Holy Prophet S..W.W. and

(15) Imaam Muhammad Baaqir (A.S.) said that Allaah (S.W.T.)
called Nabee Nooh (A.S.) by the name ‘Banda-e-Shaakir’
(the most grateful one) because he used to recite this Dua
daily morning and evening: “Allaahumma Innee
Ush’hiduk Annahoo Maa Amsaa Wa Asbaha Bi Min
Ni’amatin Aw Aafiyatin Fee Deenin Aw Dunyaa
Faminka Wahdaka Laa Shareeka Laka Lakal Hamdu
Walakash-Shukru Bihaa Alayya Hattaa Tardhwaa

(16) Nabee Nooh (A.S.) used to recite the following Duaa 10
times: “Allaahumma Innahoo Maa Asbaha Bi Min
Ni’amatin Aw Aafiyatin Fee Deenin Aw Dunyaa Fa

Lahash-Shukru Bihaa Alayya Hataa Tardhwaa Wa
Ba’adar-Ridhaa.”
(17) The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W.) said anyone who recites this
Duaa 7 times in the morning will remain safe and sound
from every problem and trouble: “Fallaahu Khayrun
Haafidhan Wahuwa Arhamur-Raahimeen, Inna
Waliyyiyallaahul-Ladhee Nazzalal Kitaaba Wahuwa
Yatawallas-Swaaliheen Fain Tawallaw Faqul
Hasbiyallaahu Laa Ilaaha Illaa Huwa Alayhi
Tawaqqaltu Wahuwa Rabbul Arshil Adhweem.”
(18) The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W.)said that anyone who recites
the following Duaa everyday his request shall be fulfilled,
his enemy shall be defeathed, nobody can overcome him,
his debt shall be repaid, and all his worries shall be
overcome: “Subhaanallaahi Kamaa Yambaghi Lillaahi,
Walhamdulillaahi Kamaa Yambaghi Lillaahi, Wa Laa
Ilaaha Illallaahu Kamaa Yambaghi Lillaahi Wallaahu
Akbar Kamaa Yambaghi Lillaahi, Walaa Hawla Walaa

Ilaaha Illaa Huwal Hayyul Qayyoomur-Rahmaanur-
Raheem Badee’us-Samaawaati Wal Ardhi Min Jamee’i
Dhulmi Wa Jurmi Wa Israafi Alaa Nafsee Wa Atoobu

Hasbiyallaahu Tawaqqaltu Alallaahi Allaahumma
Innee As’aluka Khayra Umooree Kullihaa Wa Aoodhu
Bika Min Khizyid-Dunyaa Wa Adhaabil Aakhirati.”
-And this Dua also has the same effect: “Hasbiyallaahu
Rabbiyallaahu Laa Ilaaha Illaa Huwa Alayhi
Tawaqqaltu Wa Huwa Rabbul Arshil Adhweem.”
(22) Imaam Ja’afar Saadiq (A.S.) said this Duaa is from the
treasures of Duaas, so don’t miss to recite this 3 times
everyday morning and evening: “Allaahummaj’Alnee Fee
Dir’ikal Hasseenatil-Latee Taj’alu Feehaa Man
Tureedu.”
RADD-E-MAZAALIM
(COMPENSATION FOR ZULM)
Zulm (atrocity, tyranny, despotism, oppression, cruelty, violence)
is the most hated thing by The All-Merciful Allaah (S.W.T.) He is
Merciful, Compassionate and Kind, and so does He like His
creatures to behave towards each other. All the mess and chaos
seen around the world is the result of Zulm in one-way or the
other. Peace and tranquility can never be achieved if there
prevails Zulm. And the punishment in hereafter is very dreadful
for this sin of Zulm. Allaah does not forgive the Zaalim because
the sin has not been committed to Allaah, it is the matter of
concern to others then Allaah (S.W.T.). The only way for
forgiveness is to seek pardon from the person to whom Zulm was
done.
If atall it is not possible to seek forgiveness from the person to
whom Zulm was done (because of death, absence, or any other
reasonable cause) then it is stated that the culprit should give a
considerable amount in Sadaqa on behalf of the wronged ones and
seek pardon from Allaah and beseech to Him that He may make
the amendment by pleasing the wronged ones because all the
might and power lies with Allaah (S.W.T.) only.
There are mentioned some A’amaal in the books that if we
performed then they might be beneficial for the purpose. They are
as follow:
Give Sadaqa on behalf of the person to whom you had done
Zulm.
Do Istighfaar on his / her behalf.
Recite 12 times Surah-e-Ikhlaas and then recite this Duaa:

Miswak, should observe fasts, should recite Holy Qur’an,
especially Aayatul Qursee, should consume 21 pcs of red

should not read name-plates on the graves, should not walk

should not cut nails with teeth, should not abstain from

RAJAB A’AMAAL
It is very essential for a person to study Mafaatihul Jinaan of
Sheikh Abbaas Qummi A.R., Majmooa of Allaama Haji
GhulamAli A.R., and other authentic books of Duaa, wherein, all
the A’amaal are included, so as to gain the maximum benefit of
Ibaadaaat. The Duaas and A’amaal, which are contained in this
brief booklet, are only a few majestic and invalueables amongst
them.
The months of Rajab, Sha’baan, and Holy Ramadhaan are the
most revered of all the months. Tradition of the Holy Prophet
(S.A.W.W.) is thus: “The month of Rajab is the great month of
Allaah (S.W.T.) Its merits and significance are of high status.
Rajab is the month of Allaah, Shaa’baan is my month and
Ramadhaan is the month of my Ummah. One who observes atleast
one Fast in this month has made Allaah be pleased to him and the
anger of Allaah shall not descend on him and one door of the Hell
is closed for him.”
Imaam Moosa Kaadhim (A.S.) said, ‘ One who observes one Fast
in this month then Jahannam shall be at the far off distance from
him. And one who keeps three Fasts in this month then Paraise is
incumbant upon him.”
The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W.) said that ‘Rajab’ is the name of
one of the rivers in Jannat and its water is brighter then milk and
sweeter then honey. The one who Fasts in this month will be
fortunate to drink from its stream.
Imaam Ja’afar Saadiq (A.S.) said that the Holy Prophet said,
“Rajab is the month of Istighfaar for my Ummah. So do as much
Istighfaar as possible because Allaah is The Most Forgiving,
Bestower and Kind.”
From the same Imaam (A.S.) “If one has missed to Fast in most
part of this month then even one Fast at the end of the month will
save him/her from Sakaraat-e-Mawt, and will safeguard from the
fears, dreadfulness, and punishment of the grave. Fasting in last
two days makes easy to pass on Pool-e-Siraat. And Fasting in the
last three days shall make him safe from the horror of the Day of
Judgement and will be free from the fire of Hell. The Fasting in
this month have a magnificient value.”
One who is not able to Fast in this month may recite this
Duaa 100 times daily so he/she shall get the same Sawaab
as of keeping a Fast: Sub’haanal Ilaahil Jaleeli,
Sub’haana Man Laa Yambaghit-Tasbeehu Illa Lahoo,
Sub’haanal A’azzil Akrami, Sub’haan Man Labisal Izza
Wahuwa Lahoo Ahlun.
Recite this Istighfaar abundantly: Astaghfullaaha Wa
As’aluhut-Tawbah.
One of the Duaas to be recited during this month is as
follows: Bimillaahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem. Yaa Man
Yamliku Hawaaijis-Sa’ileen, Wa Ya’alamu Dhameeras-
Swaamiteen Likulli Mas’alatin Minka Sam’un
Haadhirun Wa Jawaabun Ateedun, Allaahumma Wa
Mawaeedukas-Swaadikatu Wa Ayaadeekal Faadhilatu
Wa Rahmatukal Waasi’atu, Fa As’aluka An Tuswalle
Alaa Muhammadin Wa Aali Muhmmadin Wa An
Taqdhiya Hawaaiji Lid-Dunya Wal Aakhirati Innaka
Alaa Kulli Shay’in Qadeer.
Another Duaa to recite during this month: Bismil-Laahir-
Rahmaanir-Raheem, Yaa Man Arjoohu Likulli Khayrin
Wa Aamanu Sakhatwahoo Inda Kulli Sharrin, Yaa Man
Yu’atwil Katheer Bil Qaleel, Yaa Man Yu’atwee Man
Sa’alahoo Yaa Man Yu’twee Man Lam Yas’alhoo Wa
Man Lam Ya’arifhoo Tahannunan Minhu Wa
Rahmatan A’atwinee Bi Mas’alatee Iyyaaka Jamee’a
Khayrid-Dunyaa Wa Jamee’a Khayril Aakhirati Wasrif
Annee Bi Mas’alate Iyyaaka Jamee’a Sharrid-Dunyaa
Wa Sharril Aakhirati Fa Innahoo Ghayru Manqooswin
Maa A’atwayta Wa Zidnee Min Fadhlika Yaa Kareem.
Then hold your blessed beard by your left hand and move
your finger of Shahaadat of the right hand to the right and
left, humbly weeping and beseeching Allaah to save you
from the hell-fire in these words: Yaa Dhal Jalaali Wal
Ikraami, Yaa Dhan-Na’amaai Wal Joodi, Yaa Dhal
Manni Wat-Twawli Harrim Shaybatee Alannaar.
The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W.) said that whoever shall recite
this Duaa 100 times and then give some Sadaqa Allaah will
bestow pardon and His Blessings on him/her. And reciting
it 400 times carries the reward of 100 martyres.:
Astaghfirullaahal-Ladhee Laa Ilaaha Illaa Huwa
Wahdahoo Laa Shareeka Lahoo Wa Atoobu Ilayhi.
A person reciting 1000 times: Laa Ilaaha Illallaah, shall
be credited by 1000 rewards and shall be awarded 100 cities
in Jannat.
Whoever recites the following Duaa 70 times every
morning and evening and if he/she dies in this month then
Allaah will be pleased on them and the fire of Hell shall not
touch them. The Duaa is:Astaghfullaaha Wa Atoobu
Ilayhi x 70. and then raise your hands and say:
Allaahumagh Firlee Wa Tub Alayya.
One who recites 1000 times this Duaa Allaah will forgive
him/her: Astaghfirullaah, Dhal Jalaali Wal Ikraam, Min
Jamee’idh Dhunoobi Wal Aasaam.
It is very beneficial to recite Surah-e-Ikhlaas 10,000 or
1000, or 100 times in this month.
It is narrated that if one keeps a Fast in this month and
prays 4 rak’at Namaaz in which, after Al-Hamd, in first
rak’ats recites 100 times Aayatul Kursee and in second
rak’ats recites 200 times Surah-e-Ikhlaas so he / she shall
not die until they will be shown their place of abode in
Bihisht.
The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W.) said that whoever prays 4
rak’at Namaaz on Friday, between the time of Zohr and
Asr, in which recites, after Al-Hamd, In every rak’at, 7
times Aayatul Kursee, 5 tmes Surah-e-Tawheed, and 10
times: Astaghfirullaahal-Ladhee Laa Ilaaha Illaa Huwa
Wa As’aluhut-Tawbah, - Allaah (S.W.T.) shall record
1000 rewards daily from the day he/she has prayed this
Namaaz uptill the last day on earth, he shall be bestowed
the rewards in plenty, shall be married to Hoorul-Een,
Allaah shall always be pleased with him, his name shall be
included in the sincere worshippers, and his end will be on
faith and pardon .
Observe Fast on every Thursday, Friday and Saturday . It is
narrated that anyone Fasting on these days in the three
blessed months shall get the Sawaab of 900 years of
worship.
In this Revered month of Rajab it is recommended to pray a
total of 60 rak’at Namaaz , (can be 2 rak’at daily), ineach
ra’at after Al-Hamd recite 3 times Surah Al-Kaafiroon and
S.Ikhlaas one time. After Namaaz raise your hands and
recite: Laa Ilaaha Illallaahu Wahdahoo Laa Shareeka
Lahoo Lahul Mulku Walahul Hamdu Yuhyee Wa
Yumeetu Wahuwa Hayyun Laa Yammotu Biyadil Khayr
Wahuwa Alaa Kulli Shay’in Qadeer Wa Ilayhil
Masweeru Walaa Hawla Walaa Quwwata Illaa Bilaahil
Aliyyil Adhweem Allaahumma Swalli Alaa
Muhammadin-Nabiyyil Ummiyyi Wa Aalihi. The Holy
Prophet (S.A.W.W.) says that whoever does this A’mal
Allaah shall fulfil his/her Duaa and will bestow the Sawaab
of 60 Hajj and 60 Umrah.
The Holy Prophet said whoever recites 2 rak’at Namaaz in
any one night of this month. In which 100 times Surah-e-
Ikhlaas is recited, then it is equal in merit to the Fasts of
hundred years , and Allaah will give him / her hundred
houses which are in neighbour to some Prophets.
The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W.) said that if anyone prays 10
rak’at Namaaaz in any one night of this month, in which
recites S’Kaafiroon 100 times and S.Ikhlaas 3 times, After
Al-Hamd, Allaah (S.W.T.) will forgive all his/her sins.
H.Ameerul Mu’mineen (A.S.) said that the Holy Prophet
recommended the following recitation in every night and
every day of Rajab, Sha’abaan and Ramadhaan, to recite 3
times each: S.Al-Hamd, Aayatul Kursee, S.Kaafiroon,
S.Ikhlaas, S.Falak, And S.Naas. Then recite 3 times
Sub’haana-llaahi Wal Hamdu Lil-laahi Wa Laa Ilaaha
Illaal-Laahu Wallaahu Akbar Walaa Hawla Walaa
Quwwata Illaa Bil-laahil Aliyyil Adhweem. Then recite 3
times Allaa-humma Swalli Alaa Muhammadin Wa Aali
Muhammad. Then recite Allaahumma-ghfir Lil
mu’mineena Wal Mu’minaat. Then recite 400 times
Astaghfiru-llaaha Wa Atoobu Ilayhi. Reward for this is
that Allaah will forgive his sins even they are equal to the
drops of rain or leaves of trees or the foams of oceans.
Allama Majlisi has quoted that it is said by Maasoomeen
(A.S.) to recite daily 1000 times : Laa Ilaaha Ila-Llaah.
The first Thursday-night of this month is called Laylatur-
Raghaa’ib. An A’amaal is prescribed by the Holy Prophet
(S.A.W.W.) to be performed in this night which is full of
Fadheelat. One of its benefits is that many sins are forgiven
due to this A’mal and the reciter of this Namaaz and A’mal
shall meet this in the grave in a most beautiful form, he/she
will ask as to who it is, that he hasn’t seen any day such a
marvelous form of human being with such a beeming and
friendly gasture and with such fantastic perfume smelling
all around him,and the reply shall be that I am that A’amaal
you had performed in Laylatur-Raghaaib, so don’t be afraid
of anything here, I am your friend and will remain with you
until the trumpet shall be blown for the Day of Judgement. I
will be a cooling and soothing shed over your head on that
Great Day, so relax peacefully and don’t worry atall
because you shall be graciously rewarded. The A’amaal for
this night is as follows: On Thursday observe a Fast and
when Maghrib comes pray its Namaaz, but before praying
Ishaa, pray 12 rak’at Namaaz, in sets of 2, in each rak’at
after Al-Hamd recite 3 times Surah-e-Qadr and 12 times
Surah-e-Ikhlaas. After completing the Namaaz recite 70
times: Allaa-Humma Swalli Alaa Muhammadin-
Nabiyyil Ummiyyi Wa Alaa Aalihee, Allaa-Hummaa
Swalli Alaa Muhammadin Wa Aali Muhammad. Then go
into Sajdah and therein recite 70 times: Subboohun
Quddoosun Rabbul Malaaikati War-Roohi. Then raise
from Sajdah and recite 70 times: Rabbighfir War-Ham
Wa Tajaawaz Ammaa Ta’lamu Innaka Antal Aliyyul
A’adhamu. Then again go into Sajdah and recite 70 times:
Subboohun Quddoosun Rabbul Malaaikati War-Roohi.
Then beseech All Mighty Allaah your Haajaat and Inshaa-
Allaah they shall be fulfilled.
It is Mustahab to recite Ziyaarat of Imaam Ali Razaa
(A.S.) in this month, it is similar to perform Umrah in this
month. Its reward is same as of performing Hajj.
Imaam Zaynul Aabideen always performed Umrah in
Rajab and he prayed Namaaz day and night over there in
Khaana-e-Kaaba. In the stateof Sajdah he recited this Duaa:
Adhwumadh-Dhambu Min Abdika, Fal Yahsunil Afwu
Min Indika.
22 ND NIGHT OF RAJAB:
One who wishes that whenever death comes he dies on the status
of complete faith, he should do this A’mal: Pray 8 rak’at Namaaz,
recite S.Tawheed 7 times after Al-Hamd in each rak’at,
25 TH RAJAB:
This is the day of martyrdom of Imaam Musa Kaadhim (A.S.) so
we should recite his Ziyaarat.
27 TH NIGHT OF RAJAB:

meritorious night, apparent mission of the Holy Prophet
(S.A.W.W.) was declared on its morning. Amongst our Shiahs

of sixty years.
The Holy prophet (S.A.W.W.) said that after Ishaa go to
sleep a little and get up before midnight , then pray 12 rak’at
Namaaz, in this you may recite any Surah after Al-Hamd.
After completing the Namaaz recite 7 times these Surahs—
S.Al-hamd, S.An-Naas, S.Al-Falak, S.Tawheed,

the Imaam mentioned in Mafaatihul Jinaan.
Recite Ziyaarat of Imaam Husayn (A.S.)
Recite Ziyaarat-e-Rajabiyyah.(ref.M.Jinaan)
27 TH DAY OF RAJAB:
This day is one of the greatest days of Eed. It was on this day that
Jibraeel (A.S.) accended and brought the declaration of open
Prophet’hood of the Holy Prophet Muhammad Mustafa
(S.A.W.W.) There are some A’amaal for this day, they are:
(a) Perform Sunnat Ghusl for this day.

emphasized to Fast. Fasting of today is equal in merit to the
Fasting of 70 years .
(c) Recite many Salawaat.
(d) Recite Ziyaarat of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W.) and Imam
Ameeru Mu’mineen (A.S.)
(e) Pray 12 rak’at Namaaz as usual with any Surah after Al-

Hamd, S.Tawheed, S.An-Naas, S.Al-Falak, and then recite this
Duaa Four times: Laa Ilaaha Illallaahu Wallaahu Akbar, Wa
Sub’haanallaahi Walhamdu Lillaahi Walaa Hawla Walaa
Quwwata Illaa Billaahil Aliyyil Adhweem. Then recite this

Shay’an. Then again Four times: Laa Ushriku Bi Rabbee
Ahadan.

each rak’at.
(d) The 3rd day of this month is a very meritorious and
auspicious day, it is the birthday of Imaam Hussain (A.S.)
One should Fast on this day and there is a very good Duaa
to be recited today. (refer.M.Jinaan)
15 TH SHA’ABAAN:
The night preceding this day is an extra-ordinary night. Imaam
Muhammad Baakir (A.S.) said that this night is the most excellent
night after the Night of Qadr, in this night Allaah distributes His
Grace on His creatures abundantly, by His Mercy He forgives
numerous people, we should try to gain His proximity. Allaah has
promised that He will not return anyone empty-handed except if a
sinful thing is asked for. This holy night is to Ahlul Bayt as
Laytul Qadr is to Holy prophet (S.A.W.W.) Auspiciousness of
this night is amplified manifold because of the birth of Imaam-e-
Zamaana A.F. on this date.
The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W.) said that in this night Allaah
(S.W.T.) distributes sustenance, registers the life-spans of
creatures, and the names of those to go for Hajj are recorded. In
this night Allah bestows His Grace and Blessings to His creation
much more then what they deserve.
BEFORE IFTAAR:
If one recites Duaa-e-Ahd (that Duaa which is recited on every
Friday morning, starting with ‘Alaahummaa… Rabban…
Nooril… Adhweem……”) [*] he/she shall get plenty of Sawaab,
Allaah will answer his prayer, accepts his prayer and Fasting,
grants his 10 requirements, forgives his sins, removes his grief,
makes his heart at ease, grants his wishes, makes to ascend his
deeds upwards with the deeds of Prophets and Saints, and on
Qayaamat will bring him to His presence with a face illuminated
like a bright moon.
Imaam Ali (A.S.) used to recite this Duaa at the Time of
Iftaar:-Bismillaahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem. Bismillaahi
Allaahumma Laka Swumna Wa Alaa Rizqika Aftwarnaa
Fataqabbal Minnaa Innaka Antas-Sameeul Aleem.
On the first morsal of Iftaar recite; Bismillahir-
Rahmaanir-Raheem Yaa Waasi’al Maghfirati Ighfirlee.
It is also stated to trecite Surah-e-Qadr at Iftaar.
It is recommended to give alms and to give food to other
Fastng people At the Time of Iftaar.
It is stated to recite Surah-e-Qadr 1000 times every night.
There are particular Duaas to be recited in every night of
this month. (Ref. M.Jinaan).
Recite Duaa-e-Iftitaah in every night. (Ref. M.Jinaan)
In every night of this Holy month recite the following
Namaaz so that 17000 sins might be forgiven. 2 rak’at
Namaaz, after Al-Hamd recite 3 times Surah-e-Ikhalaas
and after Namaaz recite this Duaa: Sub’haana Man Huwa
Hafeedhun Laa Yaghfulu, Sub’haana Man Huwa
Raheemun Laa Ya’jalu, Sub’haana Man Huwa Qaaimun
Laa Yas’hoo Sub’hana Man Huwa Daa’imun Laa Yalhoo.
Then recite 7 times Tasbihaat-e-Arba’aa. And then recite
once this Duaa: Sub’haanaka Sub’haanaka Sub’haanaka
Yaa Adhweemu Ighfirliyadh-Dhambal Adhweem. The
recite 10 Salawaat.
If anyone recites Surah-e-Fat’h (Innaa Fatahna Laka
Fat’ham-Mubeena……) in Sunnaat Namaaz in these nights
he shall remain safe from all problems and disease during
this whole year.
After every Nawafil Namaaz it is better to recite this Duaa:
Bismillaahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem. Allaahummaj’al Fee
Maa Taqdhwee Wa Tuqaddiru Minal Amril Mahtoom
Wa Fee Maa Tafruqu Minal Amril Hakeem Fee Laylatil
Qadri An Taj’alanee Min Hujjaji Baytikal Haraamil

Maghfoori Dhunoobuhum Wa As’aluka An Tutweela
Umree Fee Twaa’atika Wa Tuwassi’a Lee Fee Rizqee Yaa
Arhamar-Raahimeen.
A’AMAAL AT THE TIME OF SAHRI (DAAKU):
It is highly emphasized to eat some food at the time of Sehri, even
if one is not hungry he / she should partake a little food or some
drink.
It is narrated that Allaah (S.W.T.) bestows His Mercy on the
one who does Isteghfaar at the time of Sahri.
One who recites Surah-e-Qadr at the time of Sahri and
Iftaar gets the Sawaab of a Martyr.
There are beautiful Duaas to be recited at Sahri, e.g. Duaa-e-
Tasbihaat, Duaa-e- Abu Hamza-e-Simaali, etc. (pls. Refer
M.Jinaan for it.)
NEW-MOON:
We should try our best to see the new moon of Maah-e-
Ramadhaan, some Ulamaa say that it is obligatory to see it. And
when we see the moon we should not point to it rather we should
raise our hands towards the sky and recite this Duaa:
Bismillaahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem, Rabbee Wa Rabbukallaahu
Rabbul Aalameen, Allaahumma Ahillahu Alaynaa Bil Amni
Wal Imaani Was-Salaamati Wal Islaami Wal Musaara’atee
Ilaa Maa Tuhibboo Wa Tardhaa, Allaahumma Baarik Lanaa
Fee Shahrinaa Haadhaa Warzuqnaa Khayrahoo Wa Awnahoo
Wasrif Annaa Dhurrahoo Wa Sharrahoo Wa Balaa’ahoo Wa
Fitnatahoo.
Another Duaa when you see the new moon. The Holy Prophet
(S.A.W.W.) used to turn towards Qibla and recite the following
Duaa when he sighted the new moon of Maah-e-Ramadhaan:
Bismillaahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem. Allaahuma Ahillahu
Alayna Bil Amni Wal Eemaani Was-Salaamati Wal Islaami
Wal Aafiyatil Mujallalati Wa Difaail Asqaami Wal Awni Alas-
Swalaati Was-Swiyaami Wal Qiyaami Wa Tilaawatil
Qur’aani. Allaahumma Sallimna Li Shahri Ramadhaan Wa
Tasallaamhu Minna Wa Sallimnaa Feehi Hattaa Yanqadhiya
Annaa Shahru Ramadhaan Wa Qad Afawta Annaa Wa
Ghafarta Lanaa Wa Rahimtanaa.
A’AMAAL FOR THE 1 ST NIGHT

news of safety from the fire of Hell.

Whosoever shall recite this Duaa in the last ten nights after every
Wajib and Sunnat Namaaz Allaah will forgive his sins committed
in this month and shall safeguard him from committing other sins
in the remaining days:-
Bismillaahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem. Allaahummaa Addi Annaa

Minal Marhoomeen Walaa Taj’Alnaa Minal Mahroomeen.
There are other very good Duaas also to be recited during the final
ten days, which can be reffered to Mafaatihul Jinaan. For example
the Duaa starting with these word; “Allaahumma Innaaka Qulta
Fee Kitaabikal Munzili…” and “Yaa Mulayyinal Hadeed.” and
“Yaa Moolijal Layli Wan-Nahaari…” etc.

used to fold up his bedding and devote his precious time in
I’tiqaaf for the last ten nights.

This day is the commemoration of the day of Martyrdom of
Imaam Ali (A.S.) so we should observe it with absolute
solemnity. This is the saddest day for the believers and
followers of Imaam Ali (A.S.) Many Salawaat should be
recited and many curses should sent on the enemies of Ahlul
Bayt (A.S.) Especially today more curses should be sent on
the accursed Ibne Muljim and his accursed associates.

recited every now and then.

NIGHT OF EED-AL-FITR
This is a majestic night. It is beneficial to keep awake the whole
night for Ibaadaa. It is stated in traditions that this night is not of
less importance then the night of Shb-e-Qadr.
Some A’amal for this night are as follows:
Make Ghusl before sunset.
Keep awake in Masjid for Namaaz, Duaas, Istighfaar and
beseeching Allaah.
Recite these Takbiraat after Naaz-e-Maghrib, Ishaa, Sub’h,
and Eed Namaaz: Allaahu Akbar Allaahu Akbar Laa
Ilaaha Illallaahu Wallaahu Akbar Allaahu Akbar
Walillaahil Hamd Alhamdulillaahi Alaa Maa Hadaana
Walahush-Shukru Alaa Maa Awlaanaa.
After Namaaz-e-Maghrib and its Naafila raise hands towards
the heaven and recite:- Yaa Dhal Manni Wat-Twawli Yaa
Dhal Joodi Yaa Mustwafiya Muhammadin Wa
Naaswirahoo Swalli Alaa Muhammadin Wa Aali
Muhammad Waghfirlee Kulla Dhanbin Ahswaytahu Wa
Huwa Indaka Fee Kitaabim-Mubeen. The go into Sajdah
and recite 100 times: Atoobu Ilallaah. Then besech your
Haajat, Inshaa’Allaah it will br fulfilled.
Recite Ziyaarat of Imaam Husayn (A.S.) which is special
for this night. (ref.M.Jinaan).
Recite this Dua 10 times: Yaa Daa’imal Fadhli Alal
Bariyyah, Yaa Baaswital Yadayni Bil Atwiyyah, Yaa
Swaahibal Mawaahibis-Saniyyah, Swalli Alaa
Muhammadin Wa Aalihee Khayril Waraa Sajiyyah
Waghfir Lanaa Yaa Dhal Ulaa Fee Haadhihil Ashiyyah.
Pray those 10 rak’at Namaaz which is mentioned in the last
night of Maahe Ramadhaan.
Recite 2 rak’at Namaaz, in the first rak’at after Al-Hamd
recite 1000 times Surah-e-Ikhlaas and in the second rak’at
only once, in another tradition it is written only 100 times
instead of 1000 . After Namaaz go into Sajdah and recite:
Yaa Dhal Manni Wal Joodi Yaa Dhal Manni wat-Twawli
Ya Mustwafiya Muhammadin Swallallaahu Alayhi Wa
Aalihee Swalli Alaa Muhammadin Wa Aalihee Waf’al
Bee……(Haajaat). Imaam Ali (A.S.) used to pray this
Namaaz and after rising from Sajdah he said, “By the One in
Whose Hands is my soul, whoever prays this Namaaz and
asks anything from Allaah he will get it, and even his sins
may be as much as the particles of sand shall be forgiven
all.” And finally there is a Duaa to be recited after this
Namaaz for which please refer to Mafaatihul Jinaan.
Pray 14 rak’at Namaaz, in each rak’at recite Aayatul Kursee
once and S.Ikhlaas 3 times. The Sawab for each rak’at is
equal to the fourty years’ worship, and also as of a person
who has prayed and Fasted in this month.
Finally, at the end of the night one should make Ghusl and
attend to Namaaz-e-Sub’h.
SHAWWAAL
The first day of this month is the Day of Eed-al-Fitr. There
are some A’amaal to be done, they are:-
Recite Takbeeraat (mentioned hereby previously) after
Namaaz-e-Sub’h and Eed-Namaaz.
Give Zakaat-e-Fitra, which is 3 kilograms per person and
better give it before Namaaz-e-Eed. This is an emphasized
Waajib, it is a means of acceptance of our A’amaal during
Maahe Ramadhaan and it is also a safeguard against death.
Make Ghusl. It should not be under the sky but better in a
closed bathroom. And recite this Duaa before it:-
Allaahumma Eemanan Bika Wa Tasdeeqan Bi Kitaabika
Wa Ittibaa’a Sunnati Nabiyyika Muhammadin
Swallallaahu Alayhi Wa Aalihee. Then recite

Namaaz.”

Dhunnoba Jamee’il Mu’mineena Wal Mu’minaati Fa
Innahoo La Yaghfirudh-Dhunooba Illaa Anta.
BENEFITS:

enemies will be pleased with him in Qayaamat, his death will be
on faith, his faith will be secured, his grave will be made
expansive, his parents will be pleased with him, his parents and
children will be forgiven, his sustenance will be increased, and at
the time of death his soul will be taken away with great ease.

manifold as well are the punishment for bad deeds.
To observe Fasting consecutively on Thursday, Friday
and Saturday earns the Sawaab of ninty years’ Ibaadat.
The 11th day is the birth-day of Imaam Ali Radhaa (A.S.)
so it is recommended to recite his Ziyaarat and Salawaat.

in Masjid and have not committed a single sin even for a
moment.
According to some traditions 23rd day is the day of

Mercy of Allaah descends tonight. There is great Sawaab to
spend this night in Ibaadaat.
Imaam Ali Ridhaa (A.S.) said that tonight were born Hazrat
Ibraahim (A.S.) and also Hazrat Isa (A.S.) so it carries much

sixty years.

in A.H.220.
ZILHAJ J
This month of Dhu-l-Hijjah (Zilhajj) is a very praiseworthy

Khayr the most.

the Sawaab of Fasting a whole year.

An’aami, Wal HamduLillaahi Alaa Maa Ablaanaa.
EED-E-GHADEER
Today is considered the greatest Eed by Almighty Allaah and
Aal-e-Muhammad. To whomsoever Allah bestowed Apostleship,
they observed this day as a very revered day of Eed.
Imaam Ja’afar Saadiq A,S. was once asked that if there was any
other Eed besides the Eed of Fitr, Adh’haa, and Jummah, he said
that there is one of the greatest Edd and it is the Eed of Ghadeer
on 18th Zilhijjah when the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W.) announced
publicly about the Imaamat and Khilaafat of Imaam Ali (A.S.)
delaring, “Man Kuntu Mawlaahu Faa Haadhaa Aliyyun
Mawlaahu.” The questioner asked the Imaam that what deeds
should we do today? He answered that you should observe
Fasting, remember Muhammad (S.A.W.W) and Aali
Muhammad (A.S.) and send Salawaat on them abundantly.
Imaam Ali Radhaa (A.S.) said to one of his companions that from
wherever he was he should try to reach to the Holy Shrine of
Imaam Ali (A.S.) because today Allaah S.W.T pardons the sins
for sixty years of every Mu’min men and women, and every
Muslim men and women. And also He emancipates people from
Hell fire as He does in Shab-e-Qadr and Shab-e-Eed. To give one
dirham to your Mu’min brother today is more benevolent then to
give one thousand dirhams in other days. And it is very
beneficient to be compassionate and kind and lenient to your
Mu’min brothers and sisters today. The Imaam said on oath that if
people would recognize the sanctity and excellence of this day the
Angels would shake hands with them. So it is of utmost
importance that we should give appropriate reverence to this day
of Ghadeer.
For the blessed day of Ghadder one should put on good cloths,
wear best perfume, rejoice, make the Shias also rejoice, forgive
their mistakes, fulfil their needs, be considerate and free handed
to relatives, spend on their children, send food to Mu’mineen,
give Iftaar to those who have Fasted, meet Mu’mineen with
delight and shake hands with them, send them gifts, and rejoice
because of the great blessing from Allaah in the way of the
Wilayat of Imaam Ali (A.S.) Today do much Ibaadat and recite
Salawaat many times. To feed a Mu’min today is equal to feed all
the Prophets and Virtuous. Imaam Ameerul Mu’mineen (A.S.)
said that to make Iftaar for a Fasting person is equal to making the
same to two hundred thousand people amongst Prophets, Pious,
and Martyrs.
There are some A’amaals to be done for today:
Observe Fast. Its merit is equal to the Fastings of the whole
life and 100 Hajj and Umrah.
Make Ghusl.
Recite Ziyaarat of Imaam Ali (A.S.) known as Ziyaarat-
e-Ameenullah
Recite another Ziyaarat-e-Jaamia Mutliqah.
Pray 2 rak’at Namaaz just before noon in the first rak’at
Innaa Anzalnaa and in the second S. Ikhalaas once each.
Then go into Sajdah and recite 100 times Shukr of Allaah.
Then raise from it and recite a Duaa (ref.M.Jinan), then
another Sajdah and recite !00 times Al-Hamdulillaah and
100 times Shukran-Lillaah.
MERIT: The performer of this A’mal is as if he was
present at Ghadeer-e-Khum and accepted all what
Rasoolullah (S.A.W.W.) has said.
After Ghusl, half hour before noon pray 2 rak’at Namaaz in
which, after Al-Hamd recite 10 times S.Ikhlaas, 10 times
Aayatul Kursee, and 10 times S.Ikhlaas in each rak’at.
MERIT: Sawaab of one lack Hajj, one lack Umrah, the
Haajaat shall be granted, and good health guaranteed..
Recite Duaa-e-Nudbaa today.
Other Duaas are in Mafaatihul Jinaan.
EED–E–MUBAAHILA 24 TH DAY
Today is the day of great rejoicing and full conviction that Islaam
is the true religion and the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W.) and his Holy
Ahlul Bayt are the True Guides of the right path. This is because
some non-Muslims, Christians from Najraan, came to the Holy
Prophet for the arguments concerning true religion. The Holy
Prophet tried his best to make them understand the true matter but
due to their stubbornness the non-Muslims did not believe. Finally
they decided to come to an open ground together with their
respective sons, daughters, and selves and invoke curses on the
one who is not on the right. But when they observed that the
Prophet had brought with him the most loved and near ones with
him, whose personality so much godly and astounding, and they
observed the signs of Adhaab ready to come over them, so they
accepted their defeat and thus Islaam was proved to be the rightful
religion.
Today was the day when Aayae - Tat’heer was revealed to
acertain the purity of Ahlul Bayt.
Today was the day when Imaam Ali (A.S.) in the state of Rukoo’
gave away his valueable ring to a needy person, and Allaah
revealed the Aayat of “Innamaa Waliyyukumullaah…” In the
honour of Imaam Ali (A.S.)
Some A’amaal for today:
Make Ghusl.
Observe Fast.
Pray 2 rak’at Namaaz such as that of Eed-Ghadeer’s.
Recite Duaa-e-Mubaahila. (ref.M.Jinaan).
Give Alms to Faqeer.
Recite Ziyaarat of Imaam Ali (A.S.) better to recite
Z.Jaamia.
25 TH DAY:
It is an honourable day today. Surah-e-Hal-Ataa was revealed
today in honour of Ahlul Bayt. They had Fasted for three days but
at the time of Iftaar they broke their Fasts with water only because
a needy, an orphan and a prisoner respectively had come at their
door to ask for food, so every member of the family of Ahlul Bayt
gave away his portion of food, in spite of themselves being in
need of it.
AASHOORA:
Today is the day of Martyrdom of Imaam Husayn (A.S.) It is a
great day of sorrow and mourning for the Shiahs. Do not busy
yourselves in worldly matters today. Hold Majaalises and
commemorate Aashoora with utmost sadness. Invoke curses on
the enemies of Imaam Husayn (A.S.)
We should express Pursa (condolenses) to each other in these
words:
A’azamallaahu Ujooranaa Bi Muswaabinaa Bil Husayni
Alayhissalaamu Wa Ja’alnaa Wa Iyyaakum Minat-
Twaalibeen Bi Saarihi Ma’a Waliyyehil Imaamil Mahdiyyi
Min Aali Muhaammadin Alayhimus-Salaam.
Anyone who is fortunate today to be present at Karbala near to the
Blessed Grave of Imaam Husayn (A.S.)should freely give water to
the people, its merit is such as he gave the water to the army of
Imaam Husayn (A.S.) and was with them on the day of Aashoora.
There is tremendous Sawaab in reciting 1000 times Surah-e-
Ikhlaas today.
Recite Duaa-e-Asharaat. (ref. M.Jinaan)
Today we ought to behave as much sorrowfully and gloomily as
possible, expressing our paramount disgust for the outrageous
event of Aashoora in which Imaam Husayn (A.S.) and his bend of
few thirsty and hungry companions were innocently slaughtered
with the most animalstic brutality by the so-called Muslims of the
army of Yazid L.A.
Today Fasting is not allowed but we should not eat or drink
anything until at late afternoon partaking the simplest food.
Allama Majlisi says that it is better not to observe Fasting on the
Ninth and Tenth of Muharram because Bani Umayya and their
followers used to rejoice on the event of Karbala, they considered
these two days to be very much good for them and thus they
observed Fasting on this fateful event., and they also accumulated
their needful things for the year.
Therefore Imaam Ali Radhaa (A.S.) said that anyone who leave
his worldly business Allaah shall accomplish all his works and
undertakings, and one who will pass this day in sadness, sorrow,
and tears, and encourage his household members also to the same,
Allaah will make the day of Qayaamat a happy event for him.
Whoever accumulates worldly things for peace and pleasure
Allaah will take away His Barakat from them and shall gather
them on Qayamat with the Accursed Yazid bin Muawiya,
Uubaydulla bin Ziyad, Umar bin Saad, and their associates (may
Allah’s everlasting curses be on them and remain in greatest
tribulation forever). Aameen.
Today we should not even laugh or pass the time in playing
games, but for the whole day and night we should behave like a
bereaved people. We should ponder over the reasons of such a
great event that for what cause it occurred and now what is our
duty towards it, how should we live our lives so as to be in line
with the cause of Imaam Husayn (A.S.)
Recite 1000 times:
Allaahumal’An Qatalatal Husayn Alayhissalaam.
FALSE TRADITIONS:
There are some false traditions manufactured by Bani Umayyas
such as {{(“giving credence of merits of Fasting on Aashoora,
beseeching Allaah for your Haajaats being Mustahab, every
Prophet was blessed with some good this day, the fire of Namrood
went off today, Nabi Nooh’s ark came to a safe halt today, army
of Firown drowned today, Nabi Isa was rescued from Jews,
Tawba of Nabi Adam was accepted today, Nabi Yunus came out
of the belly of the fish today, accumulating the necessities for the
next year, hadeeth to beautify oneself and rejoice, and some false
Duaas such as ``` Sub’haanallahi Mil’al Meezaani Wa Muntahal
Hilmi Wa Mablaghar-Ridhaa Wa Zinatal Arshi, then- Yaa Qaabila
Tawbata Adama Yawma Aashoora Yaa Raafi’a Idreesa Ilas-
Samaai Yawma Aashoora Yaa Musakkina Safeenati Noohinn Alal
Joodiyyi Yawmi Aashoora Yaa Ghiyaasa Ibrahima Minan-Naari
Yawma Aashoora……``` etc.”}}} All this sort of material does
not make any sense, history has authentic records to every event
of Prophets against what they claim to happen on Aashoora.
Therefore we should be careful in it. Their main intention was to
cover this great issue of Karbala so that people should not come to
know the actual matter that the so-called Muslim rulers were
actually worse then infidels and they wished that Imam Husayn
(A.S.) may give his consent to the un-Islamic and un-humanly
ways of their lives so that it gets a permanent seal of Islaam and
thus a thick veil may cover their misdeeds and their predecessors’
misdeeds also., consequently burying the religion of Islaam from
its very foundation. This was the main cause to demand Bay’at
but nevertheless they were defeated in their cause but Imaam
Husayn (A.S.) came out victorious even though by the greatest
sacrifices, he won the battle which was actually between the
causes, he won in his cause, which is obvious to all the world
tday, a proof being his magnificient Shrine and his follwers all
around the globe commemorating Muharram. While his enemies
are wiped out and became extinct species of oppressors, looters,
and debauches. Nobody knows and cares of the whereabout of
their unclean remains.
However, in the evening of this day we should recite Ziyaarat-e-
Tahiyyat, i.e. the Ziyaarat to convey our condolences to the Holy
Prophet and Ahlul Bayt Alayhimussalaam. For this Ziyaarat
please refer Mafaatihul Jinaan. It was on this same evening of 61
A.H. that the cruel and brutal army of accursed Yazid took captive
the respected and honourable ladies of Ahlul Bayt and still
denying them even some water to drink. It was a dreaful evening
for those holy ladies lamenting for their dead ones on one side and
on the other side being subjected to tortures by setting their camps
on fire. The intense Zulm on them is enough to melt the hardest
heart.
25 TH OF MUHARRAM:
This is the Martyrdom Day of Imaam Zaynul Aabedeen (A.S.)
The Imaam was present in Karbalaa on Aashoora but he was
severly sick and was in a state of unconsciousness most of the
time. After the massacre of Karbala on the second day he was
made to walk bare-footed to Kufa and then to Shaam, together
with the holy ladies, moreover he was mercilessly chained also.
The unimaginable Zulm inflicted on the family of the Holy
Prophet (S.A.W.W.) is enough to make a human being weap tears
of blood throughout entire life. Let us pray to The All-Just Allaah
that those Zaalims and their ‘yes men’ and those who had created
foundation for the massacre of Karbalaa remain under the most
severe curse from Allmighty Allaah forever ever ever. Aameen.
We are under the highest obligation from the martyrs of Karbala
because it is because of their precious sacrifice that Islaam was
saved and we are Muslims today. Therefore we should dutifully
remember them by reciting their Ziyarat, and by offering some
Namaaz on their behalf, and keep up the spirit of Islaam ever
high.
Surah-e-Fajr has its other name as Surah-e-Imaam Husayn
(A.S.) so it is beter to recite it often to refresh the memories
concerning Imaam Husayn (A.S.) Recite this Surah in Wajib and
Sunat Namaaz, it has got its merits.
Reciting Ziyaarat-e-Aashoora is not limited to the day of
Aashoora only. We should recite it as often as possible, its merits
are beyond imagination.
Namaaz-e-Imaam Husayn (A.S.) should be prayed for his
rememberence. (ref.M.Jinaan)
Recite Ziyaarat-e-Naahiya. This is to salute Shohadaa-e-
Karbalaa. Imaam-e-Zamaana recites this Ziyaarat.
The sister of Imaam Husayn (A.S.), Bibi Zaynab (S.A.) has
also a very great share in safeguarding Islaam. She suffered
enormous hardships from Karbala to Kufa and Shaam. It was her
holy presence among the captives who managed to answer bravely
to the Zalims and made it known to the public masses their
identity which the Zalims were intentionally hiding. After Krbala
the mission of Imaam Husayn was completed by Bibi Zaynab
(S.A.) It was Bibi Zaynab (S.A.) who made it known to those who
were ignorant about the cause of Martyrdom of Imaam Husayn
(A.S.) And it was Bibi Zaynab (S.A.) who unveiled the hypocrites
and infidels who were behind the atrocitites of Karbalaa.
So it is our duty to remember the Holy Lady Bibi Zaynab
Salaamullaahi Alayhaa by reciting her Ziyaarat as often as
possible. Moreover, if luck permeates, one should visit her
Blessed Shrine in Shaam to pay due tributes. Her Shrine stands as
lively as the Holy Shrine of Imaam Husayn (A.S.) in Karbalaa.
And one should not doubt about the Mo’jiza at Bibi Zaynab
(S.A.)’s shrine. They do happen and faithfuls are certainly
benefited over there.
One of the most heart rendering atrocities of the tragedy of
Karbalaa is that the loving daughter of Imaam Husayn (A.S.), Bibi
Sakeeena (S.A.) who was only four years old was also subjected
to untold Dhulm. She was amongst the captives in a dreadful
prison. She endured very much but atlast the small soul could not
bear the atrocities any more and she breathed her last in the very
prison. She was buried therein. Today her Holy Shrine also stands
with full glory and majesty in Shaam. We should also recite
Ziyaarat of Bibi Sakina (S.A.) realizing how much sufferings she
had to bear for the sake of Islaam, although she was little in age
but as a blessed daughter of the Imaam she was highly learned and
knowledgable.
It was only by the command of Allaah (S.W.T.) that Imaam
Sajjaad (A.S.) remained alive through the tragedy of Karbalaa,
otherwise the enemies of Islaam, specifically Banu Umayya had
firm plans to extinguish the light of Islaam by sparing not a single
male person from Ahlul Bayt so that Islaam could no longer be
propogated. The cruel Yezidites did not spare even the feeding
infant Ali Asghar (A.S.) who was only six month old. But as
Allaah S.W.T has declared in His Holy Book that it is a vain
effort by the infidels to extinguish the light of Islaam, it will ever
remain shining upto the last day on earth.
The Dhulm they had commited in Karbalaa was at its peak. No
more of it can ever be imagined of. Attrocities were of such
extents that a simple-minded would think as if the oppressed were
of the most severe crime. In fact Imaam Husayn (A.S.), his
household members, and his companions were quite innocent and
sinless. The only sin, if it could ever be called a ‘sin’, in the sight
of the oppressors was that the Imaam was on a right path leading
pious life and guiding people to the right path. While Bani
Umayya being the worshippers of this world, and infidels at their
hearts, wanted quite the opposite, i.e. keeping the masses in
darkness of ignorance and leading them astray, thus gaining
power to rule over them.
When the treaty was concluded between Imaam Hasan (A.S.) and
Muawiya it was particularly mentioned that he will not appoint
anyone to succeed him in ruling the state, but as was their old
custom Muawiya committed breach of agreement and appointed
his drunkard and animalistic son Yazid to be his successor. When
Imaam Husayn (A.S.) was told to give his consent and recognize
Yazid as a rightful caliph of the Holy Prophet it was obvious that
such a holy person can never agree to it. And the war started
between good and evil. Yazid was sure that if Imaam Husayn
(A.S.) did not recognize him then his empire was doomed to the
extinct. He and his likes were completely absorbed in vanity they
did not wish to leave their beastly pleasures of this world at any
cost. As such, they had put aside all the reverence and sanctity of
Allaah, His Prophet, and Ahlul Bayt, and acted according to their
own devilsh desires.
Bani Umayya had started their enmity towards Islaam from the
very beginning era. They prosecuted Muslims in Makkah, they
even tried to assassinate the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W.), they
waged bloody wars against Muslims in Madeena, they poisoned
and assassinated the Imaams, they commenced their enmity just
on the moment the Holy Prophet left the world, but in spite of
uncountable tortures and killings of Muslims yet today Muslims’
figure stands towering at its maximum. Especially they wished the
progeny of the Holy Prophet to be wiped out, and they certainly
did it to their best, but it is obvious that today not a single corner
of earth is without any population of Sayyids, i.e. the generations
of Ahlul Bayt (A.S.) After the fall of Umayyids the accursed Bani
Abbaasis took over their job. Even though they commited untold
atrocities, brutalities, tortures and massacres on Ahlul Bayt and
their followers, but they also could not wipe out Islaam. From east
to west and from north to south there are scattered like pearls
people snd Ulamaa from the progeny of the Holy Prophet
(S.A.W.W.), but ask for the Bani Umayya or Bani Abbaasis, there
is no trace of them anywhere. They are an extinct specis.

born today.
1 ST NIGHT:
On this night, 13 years after Be’asat (public declaration of
Prohet’hood), the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W.) migrated to
Madeena-e-Munawwara. The infidels had surrounded the Holy
Prophet’s house intending to massacre him. Imaam Ali (A.S.)
slept on the Holy Prophet’s bed and the Prophet went away
unseen passing through the open swords of the enemies. They
thought that the Prophet was inside sleeping in his bed but as they
stormed in they amazingly saw Imaam Ali. Asked about the
whereabouts of the Holy Prophet the enemies were answered so
sharply as they deserved for. Imaam Ali (A.S.) was readily
present to even sacrifice his life to save the Holy Prophet
(S.A.W.W.) from the infidels. Therefore, on this night this Aayat
of the Holy Qur’an was revealed in praise of Imaam Ali (A.S.)
because of his great sacrifice to lay down his own life instead of
the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W.) ‘Wa Minan-Naasi Man-Yashree
Nafsahub-tighaa’a Mardhaatillaah…’

AAB–E–NAYSAAN
The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W.) said that Jibraeel (A.S.) told him
about a particular medicene, that if it was utilized then there shall
never arise any need to go to a Tabeeb (Doctor, Hakeem or a
Healer). This invalueable medicene is the Water of Aab-e-
Naysaan. It is the rain water raining in particular days only. The
rain which comes 23 days after Nawroz. That is to say that if
Nawroz falls on 21st March, then add 23 days to it and you will
come to 15th April. So the rain which falls from 15th April upto
30 days, i.e. upto 14 th May, is called Aab-e-Naysaan. Collect this
water in a Paak utensil and recite these Holy Surahs over it. This
will cure all types of disease, it is also useful for a prisonor to be
freed, and colds can’t do any harm on the one who drinks this
water.
The following Surahs should be recited 70 times each over the
said water: S. Al-Hamd; Aayatul Kursee; S. Kaafiroon; S.
A’Alaa; S. Al-Falak; S. An-Naas; S. Ikhlaas.
Then recite 70 times –Laa Ilaaha Illallaahu; 70 times Allaahu
Akbar; 70 times – Allaahumma Swalli Alaa Muhammadin Wa
Aali Muhammad; and 70 times – Sub’haanallaahi Wal Hamdu
Lillaahi Walaailaaha Illallaahu Wallaahu Akbar.
