[POWER OF PROPER FASTING]
RAMADHAAN
AL - MUBAARAK
FASTING, DUAAS, & AAMAAL

PREFACE
All Praises and Glory belong to the Most High Lord of the
universe Almighty Allaah S.W.T. Who is Most Kind, Most Wise
and All-Powerful; and His Most Gracious Blessings be showered
on His beloved Prophet Muhammad Mustafa S.A.W.W. and his
Holy Progeny, - Ahlul Bayt A.S.
This humble work is undertaken for the benefit of Muslim brothers
and sisters who faithfully try to follow rules and regulations laid
down by Shariah, and are enthusiastic in it. As the title of the book
so indicates, we shall discuss all about Fasting encompassing all its
angles.
The Duaas and Aamaal mentioned herein are only a few amongst
what are there in authentic books such as Mafaatihul Jinaan etc.
Other Duaas and Aamaal are written herewith because it is said
that any good deed performed in this Holy Month of Ramadhaan
outweighs the merit of its performance in other months.
A basic requirement to observe a Fast is patience, endurance and
tolerance, without having these qualities Fasting is a very distant
objective. Fortunate is the person who can, in its true sense,
successfully observe a Fast. Fasting in the Holy Month of
Ramadhaan is stated to be a shield against the dreadful and
horrible fire of Hell. In other words, this may be taken as a stern
warning that nothing can save us from the fire of Hell except
Fasting.
Therefore the institution of Fasting should never be taken lightly. It
is not only the name of remaining hungry and thirsty, there is much
more there in it. Fasting is one of the pillars of Islaam, and as such,
if we underestimate it then the structure of our faith cant even bear
the heat of Hell-fire. Therefore I have tried to the best extent of my

4
limited knowledge to explain in detail the underlying wisdom of
Fasting as well as its pre-requisites, so as to avoid having the zerosum-value though after long durations of thirst and hunger. May
Allaah S.W.T. give us all Tawfeeq to Fast properly as required by
Him. Aameen.
There is nothing which surpasses Fasting for building a strong
will-power in a person. A person in a Fasting state keeps away
from the lawful things also, so how can it be impossible for
him/her to keep away from unlawful things. Therefore a successful
Fasting person gains cent percent control over every limb of his
body, including the brain. A proper Fasting needs control over the
body as well as soul. If one observes a Fast by merely abstaining
from food and drink but not considering other factors required for
the Fast, then he/she shall not be benefited from Fasting except
resulting in a slight loss in body weight. Physical gain is
temporary, it cant remain for ever, but the spiritual gain is eternal,
and basically it is this objective that we have to pursue in Fasting.
So if one strives for spiritual benefit he/she shall get the physical
one also, as an added advantage, but if it is vice versa then the loss
is unimaginable.
A Prophetic tradition tells us that there are many who dont get
anything from Fasting except thirst and hunger; this points out to
those who are not fully aware of the laws and regulations of
Fasting, either due to ignorance or for the lack of care. Therefore, it
is necessary that we should be aware of all requirements and laws
of Fasting and stick to them so as to be benefited from it.
Actually it is not so hard to remain without food and drink for a
couple of hours. There are authentic records that show that people
have gone without food for weeks. The task is when it requires that
all our bodily organs, limbs and even the brain should faithfully
behave side by side with abstinence from food and drink. All our
actions, deeds and thoughts should be that which pleases our Lord.
This is the standard needed for observing a Fast. Otherwise
remaining hungry and thirsty for some hours can also be done by
small children, and actually it has been noticed that a child as old
as three small years has observed Fasting, although it is another
matter that was it done voluntarily or otherwise?
Anyhow, the Blessed Month of Ramadhaan is the Month of Allaah
S.W.T. It is called SHAHRULLAAH. He has promised that
whoever Fasts in this month shall be rewarded graciously and
abundantly. This is a Great Grace from our Lord that He has kept

5
open the gates of Paradise in this Holy Month, and observing
Fasts properly is the way to it.
May Allaah S.W.T. grant us all Tawfeeq, strength and will-power
to observe proper Fasting in this and all the coming Holy Months
of Ramadhaan. Aameen.

PROPER FASTING
The true essence of Fasting is to create drastic changes within
oneself to a considerable extent of perfection. Observing a Fast is
not the name of merely abstaining from food and drink. It has a
very wide dimension. The main purpose of making people Fast is
to make them pious and righteous (=Muttaqee). If we want our
Fasting to be a proper Fasting then we must follow the rules and
requirements for it. It is narrated that each and every part of our
body should Fast with us so as to get the full benefit of Fasting. If
we keep our limbs under control and well-behaved it is then that
our Fast can do good for us. Remaining thirsty and hungry can
only result in a sheer weight-reducing scheme, but the soul will
remain unaffected. If we want our souls also to be benefited
together with physical gains then we must adhere to the
requirements of proper Fasting. This is actually the goal of Fasting.
In other words, Fasting means abstaining from vain talks, vain
sounds, vain desires, and vain thoughts together with abstinence
from food and drink. It is a practice of abstinence from every evil,
a practice of self-determination, a practice of self-sacrifice, and a
practice of self-denial from even lawful items so that one does not
feel any difficulty to keep aloof from unlawful items when such
situation arise.
Fasting keeps our mind calm and stress-less, our bodies become
light and swift, our sense of perception is illuminated, and our
expenses are reduced. But it is an irony of fate mostly it is noticed
that when the Fasting month arrives our dining tables become fully
loaded with various types of colourful dishes which enhances overeating. Instead of reducing the burden we tend to increase it. Many
times it is noticed that a person gains weight in this month. Many
contradictory factors are observed as a result of not recognizing the
sanctity of this Holy Month. A fully filled up stomach can never
reach even to the boarders of piety and righteousness. One of the
main factors guiding a person to the right track is less-eating.
It is stated that in the Holy Month of Ramadhaan Allaah S.W.T.
spreads His banquet and invites the people to be benefited from it
as much as they wish. This invitation to the feast organized by
Allaah S.W.T. is not the feast of devouring as much food as our

7
belly can accommodate. This divine feast is to gain eternal benefit
and pleasures, not a short-lasting pleasure of tasty foods which
disappears as soon as it is gulped down the throat. Our Lord has
made us to be the best of His creation, and as such He wants to see
us to be of the highest standard in all angles of our life. This
achievement cant be got while one is filled up with food to the
brim. It is only a light stomach which cultivates angelic virtues.
Eating too much causes a sort of intoxication which results in
heaviness of mind and body, the power of perception thus
diminishes and one can not go beyond ones own self. While lesseating keeps the body and soul in all-alert position and the mind is
able to grasp quickly, he / she can cope up with problems with
great ease, can imagine, think, ponder and solve the problems
without complexity.
Allaah S.W.T. does not like a person with full-stomach. He has
spread His banquet for us to give rest to our stomach so that we
may be able to perform some constructive deeds so as to be
qualified to get eternal rewards.
In olden times once it so happened that three persons were once
traveling to a certain city. On their way they reached a small town
where they decided to spend the night and then proceed with their
journey the next morning. So they went to the Masjid and set to
rest there. Just after a few moments there came a person from that
town who knew one of the travelers and so he took him to be his
guest. After some time another man came and saw that there was
his friend among the travelers and he also took the second person
to his home. Remaining there was one person who had no any
associate in that town, so he spent the night in the Masjid, without
anything to eat or drink. The next morning when all the travelers
met again those two who were taken guests were boasting for the
hospitality they had received. Soon a mysterious voice came telling
them that the person they had left in the Masjid was not alone, he
was actually the guest of Allaah S.W.T. This was because he
remained in the Masjid with a hungry stomach and was thus
adorned to be the guest of Allaah. This is not surprising because in
olden times things used to be somehow different from what they
are today, in those times sinners were branded on the forehead or
on the gates of their houses, and some times even an instant
Adhaab would descend on the sinners.
Fasting is so much preferred by Allaah S.W.T. that He has said that
He shall reward the Fasting persons by His Ownself. It is really a
thought provoking appeal. How splendid, magnificent, glorious
and superb the reward would be when it is to be rewarded by

8
Allaah S.W.T. Himself! Therefore it is very essential that we must
be cautious in our Fasting that lest it go away waste. Ofcourse
keeping away from food and drink for the sake of pleasing Allaah
S.W.T. is certainly a virtue but when we are commanded to Fast in
the Holy Ramadhaan then it is incumbent upon us to adhere to
rules and regulations of Fasting together with abstinence from
food, water, and every other thing which invalidates the Fast;
moreover, each and every moment of the Holy Month should be
utilized for the gaining the pleasure of Allaah S.W.T. and then only
it can be said to have Fasted properly.
In the state of Fasting many are seen wasting the precious time in
many different ways; some resort to sports, some go for games,
some roam around the town aimlessly, and some go for other passtimes. Therefore it is said that sleeping in the state of Fasting is a
sort of worship, this is because when we are asleep we are safe
from committing any unlawful activity. But a virtuous Fastobserver is he /she who keeps the Fast, maintains the routine work
and duties, and have an insight far and wide concerning Fasting.
Thus he/she could not afford wasting the time in a meaningless
way but would always be after some constructive activity. A
person may sometime fumble on a sinful act during the seemingly
harmless act of pass-time. The Holy Month of Ramadhaan is such
a Blessed month that any good deed performed in this month
carries manifold reward then in other months.
Concerning this Blessed Month Imaam Ali A.S. said, Dont say
Ramadhaan, because you dont know what Ramadhaan is;
whoever says so must pay charity and must offer atonement Fast.
Instead of saying Ramadhaan say as Allaah S.W.T has called it, The Month of Ramadhaan." Allaah S.W.T. has spread the divine
banquet of His Invitation to the Fast-Observers so that people
should strive hard to reach the peak of perfection and thus become
lawful candidates for the limitless bounties and favours from
Almighty Allaah S.W.T. But this high status can only be obtained
by proper Fasting, that is, by passing successfully through the tests
of abstinence and endurance, and by full-time commitment of
oneself in the way of Allaah S.W.T.
When we are Fasting then we should have a slight idea of accepted
wisdom that Fasting also reduces the daily consumption of food.
But unfortunately it is noticed that at the time of completion of
Fast (Iftaar) people are excited to some extent that they tend to fill
the belly to the brim. Some try to compensate the hunger of the day
with one meal of breaking the Fast. While some gluttony persons
keep munching food for most of the night, till Adhaan is heard.

9
This manner of eating brings one to a harmful level because overeating is destructive; it causes intoxication, laziness, lethargy,
obesity and dullness of intellect in addition to various types of
diseases. Over-eating is contrary to what our Creator wants us to
do. Allaah wishes to see His creatures in full alert all the time,
physically as well as mentally. And this cant be achieved except
we are less-eaters.
Hunger is in one way a praiseworthy situation for human beings. It
is narrated that, Stop the path of satanic influence upon your self
through hunger. The Holy Prophet S.A.W.W. said, Whoever
keeps his stomach hungry his thinking culminates to the highest
level making his reflections stronger.
It is believed that abstinence from food and drink is foremost
among the prime requisites of Fasting, and this is viewed in a very
wide angle. It is also wrongly seen to this extent of degree that if
one backbites, or abuses someone, or steals, or slanders, or
commits any bad deed, yet it cant be accepted that the Fast has
become void, but if even a drop of water unknowingly slips down
in the mouth then people will atonce shout that the Fast has been
broken! This is a sheer ignorance of law. Fasting has its own
properly calculated laws as mentioned above which should be
taken into consideration.

LESS EATING
Let us now examine the good sides of CONSUMING LESS
FOOD:
(1) Effects of less-eating are humility, hospitality, freedom from
arrogance and egotism, and a feeling of sympathy for the less
fortunates.
(2) It lowers the intensity of sensual passions and other evil
motivations which leads to sinning and deviation.
(3) Less-eaters are also less-sleepers. It is obvious that over
sleeping is a sort of wasting our age. A wise person always utilizes
his / her limited time of age utilizing it prudently so as to gain
eternal benefits at full extent.
(4) A less-eater is always at ease and comfort because he / she
have not to run around regarding preparation of various dishes. He
is free from purchasing many food items, cooking them,
consuming, relieving, and finally go for medical appointments and
incurring its expenses.
(5) It saves time and money thus prompting one to spend in
charity, benevolence, pilgrimage, and many other good causes.

10
This is only one aspect of Fasting, yet each aspect carries its
unmatchable virtues, such as it purifies the heart, sharpens the
mind, enhances power of conception, making a person attain the
required status of a Muttaqee. But if over-eating at the time of
Iftaar and Daakoo are not avoided then the whole concept of
Fasting gets ruined. It is worth noting that life should not be
devoted to sensual pleasures only, our goal must be aimed high.
We are not created only to produce and consume things that we
need. We are here in the world to cultivate our God-Given talents
so as to reach to the peak of mental perfection by learning the
lessons of humanity. A human being is a master piece of the
Creator therefore what is expected of him is something more then
angelic character. Therefore a wise persons perspective should be
a purposeful life of an honourable position.
So Fasting educates us all these invaluable objectives. Ramadhaan
Mubaarak is the month of practice. This is the month of selfrestraint against evil-whispering of the soul. This is the month of
sympathy, sympathizing with the less fortunate, poor, needy,
orphans, the sick, the aged and children. It teaches us the virtues to
carry on through out our lives. It teaches us to practice forbearance
and patience in every field, be it concerning food, drink, passions,
delights, hardships, relations, etc. We should cultivate these virtues
and apply to our everyday life up to the last breath. It should not be
confined to one month only that after Holy Ramadhaan lest we
turn the back and are at square one again. Successful is the one
who holds fast to the values of Fasting all the year around. This
should be the goal of a Fasting person. That is the reason why
Fasting is prescribed in lunar month because it rotates in all the
seasons of the year; sometimes Holy Ramadhaan comes in winter,
sometimes in summer, autumn or spring season, so a matured
person of 35years of age would pass through all the seasons in
Fasting state, he experiences the taste and hardship of Fasting
through all the seasons making him quite strong to bear the
hardships of all the seasons.
Even though the benefits of proper Fasting is salvation from Hell
fire and gaining Paradise but a true believer should not make this
to be his / her view point; the main perspective should be that we
should be worthy of being accepted by our Lord as His obedient
servants.
One of the obstacles which hinder the progress of a Fasting person
to obtain angelic values is OVER-EATING. The sole purpose of
Fasting is lost when our dining tables are laden with various
colourful and delicious dishes at the times of Iftaar and Sahree.

11
Even though all the food items be of lawful earnings, but they
promote indulgence in over-eating, which is a solid contradiction
of the values of Fasting. Our Creator wishes for us otherwise. He
wants us to remain proper human beings by eating less while we
become low ambitious miserly people and amuse ourselves with
something else then what Allaah wants. A true devotee is never to
be seen as a worshipper of his belly.
Perfect Fast observer is he whose level of consuming food and
drink are lawfully obtained and are permissible items, he does not
indulge in any wasteful activity or extravagancy, he does not fill up
his dining table with assorted food items, he does not indulge in
over-eating, he limits his self to consuming a single dish,, and he
abstains from eating for the sake of enjoyment; these type of peple
shall be rewarded with the best of rewards. Allaah S.W.T. shall
bless them with His infinite generosity and shall be rewarded with
unimaginable special rewards.
A true believer never under-estimates the values of this sacred
month of Ramadhaan. According to the tradition of the Holy
Prophet S.A.W.W. its days and nights are better then the days and
nights of any other month. Each moment of this blessed month
should be utilized properly and wisely. Wasting time in front of
useless TV shows, video, and various games can never be afforded
by a true believer. Worship, prayers, and skillfully planned
constructive activities are not in scarcity that we have to go finding
an activity to kill the time.
************

Many persons get nothing out of their


Fasts but hunger and thirst; many more
get nothing out of their night prayers but
exertions and sleepless nights. Wise and
sagacious persons are praiseworthy even if
they do not Fast and they sleep during the
night.
Imaam Ali A.S.

FORMAL PREPARATION
Atleast a couple of weeks prior to the advent of the Holy Month of
Blessed Ramadhaan we should make preparations well in advance
to wellcome the Holy Ramadhaan. Pre-planning should be made
for the right schedule of works and worship during this month so
that much of our valuable time can be saved and set apart for
beneficial activities and prayers. There are numerous and very
useful prayers and Duaas prescribed for this Holy Month that
requires a great deal of time and devotion. A person has to fulfill
his duties during the day time, so our day and night routine should
be planned in such a way that when night falls we are not
exhausted and we may have strength to stand for Ibaadaat. If one
cant devout much of his / her time in the nights then it is far from
possible that all the beautiful and magnificent Duaas and prayers
can be accomplished.
Praying and beseeching in advance brings a sure result; so we
should request Allaah S.W.T. in our prayers that when he makes us
lucky enough to see the coming Holy Ramadhaan He should give
us enough strength and Tawfeeq to Fast, worship and perform good
deeds as much as possible. Our Duaa should be that Allaah S.W.T
may give us a determined resolution and strong will-power to
observe proper Fasting, to perform all obligatory and voluntary
Ibaadaat, to stay night-vigil for prayers, to bestow a broad heart so
as to spend more in His way, and the most important, - to bestow to
us the blessings of Laylatul Qadr.
The place of worship should be cleaned, purified and prepared in
such a way that there remains no object of hindrances when we
stand for the prayers.
All the debts and outstanding accounts such as Khums, Zakaat,
Trusts, etc. should be preferably cleared off so that when we stand

13
in front of our Lord there should not be any unwanted burden on
our backs.
If there are some Qadhaa Namaaz or Fasts they should also be paid
at the earliest.
Allaah S.W.T. is the Most Kind and Merciful, so we should also
beseech Him to forgive our past sins and mistakes before the
advent of Ramadhaan Mubaarak so that we may act afresh keeping
away from future wrong-doings. If we sincerely ask Him He shall
certainly forgive us.
But then remains the problem of those sins committed against
other human beings, Allaah will not forgive it because the sinner
must ask for pardon from the one to whom the sin was done. So we
have to go and beg pardon from the people whom we have
slandered, or done back-biting, or usurped their property, or done
anything wrong to them. This is called RADD-E-MADHAALIM,
i.e. we have obligations on our backs. If they willingly forgive us
then there is no objection from Allaah S.W.T. This should not be
ignored so that we may be clean of any obligation on our necks
from the very onset of Holy Ramadhaan. But if circumstances do
not allow for going to beg forgiveness from the culprit and all the
ways to it are closed, then there is a Dua and Namaaz for it which
is written in the final pages of this book.
It is stated that if anyone has not paid his dues of Khums or has
usurped the money or property of others then his prayers cant be
accepted. This is because it is one of the requirements of prayer
that the place of prayer, and the cloths that we wear while praying
must be lawfully obtained.
Concerning our workers, we should consider them benevolently
because after all they are also human beings as our own selves.
They have the families, needs, and necessities as we do have.
Specifically in this Holy Month we should be more compassionate
to them, it is a way of our Imaams, and they always forgave the
mistakes of their servants, so we must also follow on their
footsteps to acquire righteousness to some extent. If we wish that
on the Day of Judgment Allaah should forgive us then we should
here forgive the mistakes of others. In this Holy Month the burden
of workload should be reduced from our workers so as to give
them sufficient rest. One way of doing this is to employ few more
workers so as to distribute the work load. The Holy Prophet
S.A.W.W. said, A person who does not exercise strictness on his
workers will be saved from the strictness of Almighty Allaah on

14
the Day of Judgement, and a person who lessens the load of
workers Allaah S.W.T. shall take his / her account with leniency.
Finally, as it is said preparation to receive the Holy Month of
Ramadhaan is essential. And the pre-planning includes foremostly
the cleaning of our hearts, the heart should be purged off of any
bad elements such as arrogance, vengeance, rivalry, immorality
and every evil, our hearts should be pure and clean. The next thing
to be done is to do away with the habit of gossiping and backbiting, this is the thing which invalidates a Fast. And the most
important thing to do is that we should make a firm, solid and
unyielding resolution to follow faithfully all the requirements
needed for a proper Fast which can be acceptable by our Lord
Allaah S.W.T.
************

Almighty Allaah S.W.T. says:


Oh Musa! Indeed the servants act in this
world until death overpowers them. Then
they regret their past sins and wrong-doings,
they then seek to return to this world so they
can do good deeds. Our Lord, we have
seen and we have heard, therefore send us
back, we will do good, surely (now) we are
certain. (32:12). I swear by My Honour
and My Power, I will not send any one of
them back.

If your brother just smells your sin, he will


never sit beside you. Your sins are increasing
everyday and your life is decreasing. Dont
waste your life in falsehood and carelessness.
If you want more, then be in the company of
the generous. Seek refuge from the worldly
people and mix with the deprived.
* * * * * Oh Musa son of Imraan! Listen
carefully to what I say! One can never have
time to think about Allaah unless the people
feel secure from mischief. Mischief means
oppression, tricks, gossiping, backbiting,

15

injustice, jealousy, harm, internal (secret) and


external (appearance).

HAPPY ADVENT OF SHAHRULLAAH


Regarding the blessed arrival of the Holy Ramadhaan the Holy
Prophet of Islaam Hadhrat Muhammad Mustafa S.A.W.W. said,
A person who corrects his / her ways of lifestyle to better ways
shall pass with ease on the Bridge (Pool-e-Siraat) when feet will be
stumbling and loosing balance over it: a person who is kind and
honours the orphans Allaah shall also honour him on the Day of
Qayaamat; a person who is compassionate to his relatives Allaah
shall bestow His Grace on him but whoever shall behave cruelly to
his / her relatives and disgrace them shall be deprived of Allaahs
Mercy; a person who prays voluntary (Sunnat) Namaaz in this
month shall be given clemency on Qayaamat: a person who
observes all obligatory deeds will be rewarded seventy times then
that in other days and his / her scale of good deeds will be heavier
then that of the bad deeds; a person who recites Holy Quran in
this month will be rewarded the merit of reciting complete Holy
Quran; Shaytaan is made captive in this month so beg to Allaah
no to let him overpower you; doors of Paradise are wide open in
this month so beg Allaah not to close them for you; doors of Hell
are closed in this month so beg Allaah not to open them for you.
The Holy Prophet S.W.A.W. also said, O people, very soon a
month will be coming to you which is a month of great blessings,
mercy and forgiveness of sins by Almighty Allaah S.W.T. To Him
its nights, days and hours are better then all nights, days and hours.
This is a month whereby Almighty Allaah is your Host, wherein
your breath is considered as Tasbeeh and your sleep is Ibaadat, so
beg forgiveness from Allaah and beseech Him to give you Tawfeeq
to observe Fasting and recite Holy Quran. Whoever will be
deprived of Allaahs Mercy in this month is an unfortunate person.
When you Fast remember thirst and hunger of the Day of
Judgment. Give alms to the needy. Give due respect to your aged
ones. Be compassionate to your young ones, and be sympathetic to
your relatives. Abstain from that which is unlawful to see, hear or
speak. Be kind to orphans of others so others shall be kind to your
orphans. After repenting, pay full attention towards Allaah. Be
punctual in Namaaz, pray in its fixed time and raise your hands
towards heavens because the time of Namaaz is the best time when

16
Allaah looks most kindly towards His creatures and answers their
needs when they ask sincerely. Allaah has promised not to punish
those who perform prostration (Sajdah), and those who pray
Namaaz, therefore reduce your sins-overloaded backs by doing
Sajdah and Namaaz.
O people anyone who gives Iftaar (a meal for the time of breaking
the Fast) to a Fasting person shall get the reward of emancipating
one lakh slaves and his/ her past sins shall be forgiven, and it is not
a must that you give plenty of delicious food but you may offer as
much as you can afford to.
From the above mentioned Prophetic tradition it gives a very clear
representation of the significance of this great Holy Month of
Ramadhaan, which is also Shahrullaah, the month of Allaah.
Therefore it is essential for pre-planning and making a perfect time
table for all our schedules so that we could not be left disappointed
when the successful people are being rewarded. One should
consider himself a lucky person if he is blessed to be present in this
Holy Month. Recitation and contemplation of the Holy Quran,
various prayers, Sunnat Aamaal, Duaas, Namaaz-on-time, its
Naafila, and many other good deeds can only be done if there is
proper planning for it, otherwise the hours, days, weeks and the
month shall pass away like the blowing wind and we shall only rise
up from slumber when the opportunity would have already passed
away from our hands. Serving the creation of Allaah is one of the
most virtuous acts, so if possible we should arrange Iftaar for the
Fasting persons on daily basis, it carries great Sawaab.
Then there are some people around us who are in need of financial,
physical or moral assistance, so helping them is a great thing.
Helping and serving the creation of Allaah is the most preferred act
in the sight of Allaah S.W.T.
Doing Istighfaar is one of the foremost important deeds in this
Holy Month; nobody is sinless except the Maasoomeen A.S. and
the Prophets of Allaah S.W.T. So we should do sincere repentance
and beseech Allaah to forgive our sins, mistakes and short-comings
while earnestly promising Him not to revert again to them. There
are many Duaas, Namaaz and Aamaal for seeking repentance; we
should not ignore this because Imaam Jaafer Saadiq A.S said,
Whoever is not forgiven during this month then there is no any
hope for his / her salvation till the next Holy Ramadhaan, or that he
/ she should not miss going to the plains of Arafah and seek
repentance there.

17
It is narrated from Maasoomeen A.S. that we should recite the
Holy Quran and do Istighfaar as much as possible. Besides
recitation of the Holy Quran we must know the meaning of what
we recite and should ponder over the Aayaat. It is a living miracle
with us and as such we must go deep into its subjects and find out
more about it by thinking on various topics mentioned therein and
learn more from the scholars.
As for Istighfaar it is the month of repentance. Allaah S.W.T.
forgives numerous sinners in this Holy Month. Therefore we
should not miss this opportunity to ask for our forgiveness. As
mentioned earlier we are not sinless, so if one thinks of his / her
past there shall be found plenty of wrong doings; e.g. there might
be some Qadhaa Namaaz, or the Namaaz which was prayed late
then its time, or the Namaaz which was prayed carelessly or in a
hurry. There also might be some Fasts which were invalidated for
certain reasons, or left out; or there might be some violated rights
of our parents, children, relatives, teachers, workers, friends,
scholars, neighbors etc; or might be we had committed
extravagancy in some matter, which is Haraam; or might be we
had neglected to attend to the poor and needy; or might be we
committed injustice to some one or to our own selves; or might be
we had not performed Hajj and Ziyarat properly; or might be we
had done some mistakes or sins owing to our short sightedness or
because of the love of this transient world. These and many more
should be thought of.
In this Holy Month it is essential for a Fasting person to behave
with wisdom, insight and knowledge. For those who do not
consider the sanctity of Fasting it is advisable to note these words
from Imaam Ali A.S. He said for such people, His share in
Fasting is nothing but thirst and hunger. While some worshippers
share in reward is nothing but difficulty and hardship. This means
that in every deed Maarifat is necessary (wisdom, knowledge and
insight).
There are three stages of periods in this month. The first ten days
are of Barakah (Blessings). The next ten days are of Rahmah
(Compassion). And the last ten days are of Maghfirah
(Repentance).
************
Almighty Allaah S.W.T. says:
Oh son of Adam! I did not create you for gathering
wealth for yourself and for others; but I created you
to worship Me humbly and thank Me a lot, and praise

18
My Glory day and night. Indeed, your sustenance is
determined. The greedy is deprived. The miser is
condemned. The jealous is sorrowful. The Examiner
is Ever-living and Eternal.

SAHREE AND IFTAAR


It is highly recommended that we should not abandon Sahree, i.e.
one should eat something at the pre-dawn time (Daakoo). Even
when one is not feeling hungry a little amount of food or drink
should be taken. At the time of Sahree Allaah S.W.T forgives the
sins of a person who does Istighfaar. One who recites Surah-eQadr at the time of Sahree and Iftaar gets the merits of a Martyr.
There are special Duaas also to be recited at the time of Sahree. We
should make the Intention (NIYYAT) for Fasting at this time. We
can also make Niyyat at any time of the night, or we can also make
Niyyat for the whole month at the onset of the month.
Regarding Iftaar, i.e. the time of completion of the Fast, it is
recommended that one should first pray Maghrib and Ishaa prayers
and then sit to break the Fast; but if there are people waiting for
you or if you have become too weak to withstand the pangs of
hunger any more then it is allowed to do Iftaar prior to Namaaz. At
this time also there are some Duaas to be recited, or you may recite
Surah-e-Qadr. It is recommended to break the fast by first
consuming some piece of Dates (Khajoor), or any sweetmeat item,
or hot water, because this is good for our health. Specifically for
the Dates it is mentioned that whoever breaks the Fast by eating
Khajoor gets the Sawaab of his Namaaz four hundred times more
then usual. Dates should not be just a piece or two but we should
eat some considerable amount of it. The philosophy behind this is
the fact that one who eats Dates does not then have much craving
for other junk food that are not good for our health, thus a habit of
over-eating is brought under control. Dates contain sufficient
amount of vitamins, protein, calcium, and other minerals so after
consuming it one feels satiated and there remains no need for more
food. As a result the stomach retains enough space inside which
does not hinder one to perform Ibaadaat and do some other useful
activity.
At the time of Iftaar it is highly emphasized to give Alms (Sadqa)
and also provide Iftaar to the Fasting people, this is a very
commendable deed.

19
The most worth mentioning thing is that we should not go beyond
the limits in eating, whether at the time of Iftaar or at Sahree.
Moderation is the best way of life; Less-eating will prompt us to do
more Ibaadaat and many positive activities.
************

LAYLATUL QADR
There comes the most meritorious night in this Holy Month.
Specifically it is only one single night, but nobody can know
exactly on which date it falls. It is being kept secret by Allaah
S.W.T. It is hidden in three nights, the 19 th, the 21st, and the 23rd.
Therefore we should keep praying all these three nights so that we
may be benefited to receive the merits of Laylatul Qadr. This is the
night of power. Deeds of everyone are destined in this night.
Sustenance, pilgrimage to Hajj, health and everything is destined
in this night. So anyone doing good deeds and prayers in this night
can be highly favoured by Almighty Allaah S.W.T. Staying night
vigil in Laylatul Qadr is the most essential objective of this Holy
Month. To mould our destiny to a peaceful and comfortable life in
this world and in the Hereafter it is necessary to divert our full
attention towards this magnificent night.
The blessed Laylatul Qadr is better then thousand months. Our
Duaas and prayers are granted in this night because the gates of
heaven are kept open and Allaahs Mercy descends on the
believers, A tradition says that prayers from all people are granted
in this night except for the four types; they are : (a) a rebellious and
disobedient son / daughter who has angered and displeased their
parents; (b) a person who has cut off relations with his kith and
kin; (c) a person who nurtures vengeance and animosity to a
believer; and (d) a person who drinks alcohol. These four peoples
prayers are not accepted.
Laylatul Qadr is the majestic night which should not be missed at
any cost. We should take ample rest during the day so that it
becomes easy to keep awake in the night for prayers. It is stated
that if you want to keep awake for the whole night for performing
acts of worship then besides your determination, recite Surah-eNabaa (Ammaa YatasaaAloon., ch.30 of H.Q), it will help a lot
to keep awake without being tired or sleepy.
There are various Namaaz, Duaas and Aamaal to be performed in
this night. Doing Istighfaar, reciting Salawaat, asking Allaah for

20
good health, knowledge, insight, intellectual power, and all legal
Haajaat is recommended. Giving Sadaqah on this night is of high
value. Remembering Marhoomeen by Duaa and Namaaz etc. on
their behalf is also a praiseworthy act. Then we should devout a
portion of this blessed night for meditation remember all the
favours we have been awarded by Allaah S.W.T., His majestic
power working round the clock in this vast universe, and have a
heart-to-heart talk with our Most Kind Creator. Shed some tears
while you request for forgiveness; beseeching for our needs to
Allaah with tears in the eyes is an indication of acceptance. Ziyarat
of Imaam Husain A.S. is the most recommended act of this night.
Recitation of the Holy Quraan is also a meritorious and rewarding
deed. Especially it is emphasized to recite Surah-e-Dukhaan,
S.Anqaboot, and S.Room in this night, this results in making our
spoiled deeds to gain its validity of virtiues.
It is worth mentioning that only the fortunate ones get the
opportunity to get this blessed night of Power. Therefore a single
moment should not be wasted. At the end of the night we should
bid it farewell with heavy heart and resort to Maasoomeen A.S
pleading for their intersession. The following day of Qadr should
also be accorded due respect through Duaas and good deeds.
************
Oh son of Adam! Do not be pleased with your wealth; it wont
last for ever.
Do not become sad because of povery; it is neither a burdon
nor is it incumbent upon you.
Do not become hope-less because of calamities, indeed gold is
tested by melting it in fire; likewise a believer is tested
by calamities (Balaa).
Indeed the wealthy are respected in this world and humiliated
in the Hereafter; And the poor is humiliated in this
world and respected in the Hereafter.
Indeed, the Hereafter in prosperous and terenal.Oh son of
Adam! The wealth is Mine and you are My servant and
the guest is My Messenger. If you stop giving My wealth
to My messenger then do not desire My Heaven and My
Sustenance.Oh son of Adam! The wealth is Mine and
the rich are My representatives and the poor are My
dependents. The one who is mean towards My
rdependents, I will make him enter into Hell and I will
not care for him!
Oh son of dam! Be generous, indeed generosity is part of pure
certainty and certainty is part of faith and faith is from
Heaven.Oh son o0f Adam! Be careful to be a miser.
Indeed miserliness is from Kufr (disbelief) and Kufr is
from Hell.

21
Oh son of Adam1 Be careful of the curse from the oppressed,
because nothing prevents it from reaching Me. If I did
not love to forgive, I would not have tested Adam and
then sent him back to Heaven.
Oh son of Adam! If I did not love to forgive I would not test
My servants with sins.

THE LAST DAY


On the eve of the last day of Ramadhaan Mubaarak there are some
recommended prayers to be recited. Dua-e-Widaa is the beautiful
Duaa which is to be recited while bidding farewell to this Holy
Month. Then there is also a special excellent gift from the Holy
Prophet to his Ummah in the form of a particular Namaaz which
has boundless rewards for the one who prays it. (These shall be
written in the ending pages).
On this night we should feel sorry that now only one precious night
is left with us because the blessed days and nights are going to
depart from us very soon, a true believer should feel a sense of
sadness and missing it and should be longing for the expansion of
this Holy Month. We should sincerely ask Allaah S.W.T to avail us
again the opportunity to get the next years Holy Ramadhaan. A
believer is in the dual state of fear and hope in the last night and on
the last day of this Holy Month because of thinking that perhaps all
his prayers and good deeds performed in this month might not be
worthy of acceptance, if so the final result would surely be a
dreadful one; while the hope is based on the fact that Allaah S.W.T.
is the Most Kind, Most Forgiving, and Most Beneficent, so He will
certainly accept our prayers and deeds through His Boundless
Grace and thus reward us with eternal blessings.
************

Oh son of Adam! Whatever


you say or do, whether it is
little or much, My Angels are

22

watching you every night and


day to write them.

EID UL - FITR
The night of Eid-ul-Fitr is a very significant night for prayers. It is
stated that the merit of this night is not less then Shab-e-Qadr.
Therefore we should keep vigil for prayers and beseech Almighty
Allaah S.W.T to accept whatever Ibaadaat and good deeds we
performed in this month. There are some prescribed Aamaal for
this night which will be mentioned later.
The day of Eid is certainly a day of rejoicing but it should not be
by unlawful manner. We should consider the needy and poor by
providing them the means for it so that they also can enjoy this
occasion to some extent. In many parts of the world there are our
Muslim brothers who are not able to put on proper cloths or even
they cant manage to have one proper meal. There are innocent
Muslims who are being constantly oppressed and massacred. There
are also our brothers and sisters whose land has been grabbed by
the usurpers and they dont have legal right to live in their own
lands. We should take all these matters seriously into consideration
and do whatever we can to relieve the oppressed Muslim nation
from the clutches of the oppressors. We should also not forget
these less-fortunate ones in our Duaas.
There is Eid-Namaaz to be prayed today and some Duaas.
Exchange of gifts between relatives, neighbours and friends is also
a virtuous deed which strengthens the bond of brotherhood and
unity. Then there are workers; domestic workers should be
considered also, because they have also a family who wants to
enjoy this joyous day.
************
IMPORTANT
NOTE :
BEFORE RECITING ANY DUAA PLEASE RECITE: BISMILLAAHIR
RAHMAANIR RAHEEM, ALLAAHUMMA SWALLI ALAA MUHAMMADIN WA
AALI MUHAMMAD.
AND AFTER RECITING THE DUAA RECITE: ALLAAHUMMA SWALLI ALAA
MUHAMMADIN WA AALI MUHAMMAD.

Oh son of Adam! Do not miss the morning prayers;


because all the things on which the sun shines will pray
for the one who performs the prayers

DUAAS - NAMAAZ - AAMAAL


MOON SIGHTING DUAA
It is highly recommended to look out for the new-moon of the
Holy month of Ramadhaan. Some Ulamaa say that it is obligatory
to look for the new-moon. It is also stated that when you see the
crescent of the Holy Ramadhaan do not point to it with your finger.
It is recommended to raise the hands and recite the following Duaa
when the new moon is sighted:-

Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem.


Allaahumma Swalli Alaa Muhammadin Wa Aali
Muhammad.

Allaahumma Swalli Alaa Muhammadin Wa Aali

Another Duaa is that when the Holy Prophet S.A.W.W. sighted the
new moon of Maah-e-Ramadhaan he used to turn towards Qibla
and recite the following Duaa:-

Allaahumma Ahillahoo Alayna Bil Amni Wal


Eemaani Was-Salaamati Wal Islaami Wal Aafiyatil

DUAA AT SAHREE
At the time of Sahree (pre-dawn time / Daakoo) there are particular
excellent Duaas to be recited. There is also Duaa-e-Abu Hamzae-Thimali and other Duaas, if one finds them to be lengthy then
even daily reciting in pieces will benefit if it is read with
understanding its meaning.
Atleast one should recite Surah-e-Qadr.
One of the shortest Duaas of Sahree is as follows :-

Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem.

Almighty Allaah S.W.T. says:
Oh, son of Adam! Pray humbly to Me, otherwise I will feel
your heart with poverty, your hands with difficulties, your
body with afflictions, your chest with grief, I will not answer
your supplications and I will make your world difficult for you
and decrease your sustenance.
(Hadeeth-e-Qudsee)

Oh son of Adam! No one is going to enter My Heaven


except: He who has humbled himself in front of My
Greatness, he who has spent his day in My
remembrance, he who has safeguarded his soul from
lust, for the sake of Allaah, he who shows
brotherhood towards a traveler, he who takes care of
the poor, he who is merciful towards the afflicted, and

31

he who respects the orphans and acts as a kind father


to them, and for the widows he is like a tender
husband. The one who has these qualities if he calls
Me I will answer him atonce and if he asks Me (for

NIGHTS OF BEEZ
13TH, 14TH, & 15TH
These are called BEEZ nights of the month and they have got
special significance; there are some Aamaal to be done, they are:1. Perform Sunnat Ghusl,
2. Recite four rakat Namaaz in which recite Surah-e-Ikhlaas 25
times in each Rakat,

mentioned Surahs in every Rakat.
4. Recite Duaa-e-Mujeer for the forgiveness from Allaah S.W.T.
(Mafaatihul Jinaan Arabic. Page # 80)
The above Aamaal will eradicate the sins even if they are as much
as the rain-drops or the leaves of trees.

Hadeeth-e-Qudsee
Oh sons of Adam ! Obey Me to the extent of
your needs towards Me. Disobey Me to the
extent of your ability to tolerate the fire of
Hell. Collect wealth in this world according
to the length of your stay here. Collect for
your Aakhirat (Hereafter) according to the
length of your stay there. Do not think that
your death is far and your bounties are
available, or your sins are hidden. - .

36

15th NIGHT
This is one of the praiseworthy nights; its Aamaal are as follows:1. Perform Sunnat Ghusl;
2. Recite Ziyaarat of Imaam Husain A.S. (this is in the back
pages)
3. Pray 6 rakat Namaaz which is explained hereabove;
4. Pray 100 rakat Namaaz in which recite Surah-e-Ikhlaas 10
times in every rakat (after Al-Hamd). It is narrated from Imaam
Ameerul Mumineen A.S. that whoever shall pray this Namaaz,
Allaah shall send ten Angels towards him to protect him from his
enemies, be it from humans or genies, and at the time of his death
thirty Angels shall protect him from Hell-fire.
5. Whoever is fortunate enough to be present in Karbala tonight
by the blessed grave of Imaam Husain A.S. should perform ten
rakat Namaaz consisting 10 times Surah-e-Ikhlaas in each rakat
(after Al-Hamd), and then beseech Allaah S.W.T. to save him from
Hell, InshaaAllaah he will be saved. He shall not die until he shall
see some Angels in his dream giving him good tidings of Paradise
and safety from Hell-fire.

************
Oh sons of Adam ! Call to mind My favours which I bestow on
you. Without a guide you can not find a way; similarly you can
not find the way to Jannat (Heaven) without knowledge. You can
not gether wealth without struggle; in the same way you can not
enter Heaven except with patience on My obedience. And you
can get closer to Me by practicing supererogatory acts. And seek
My pleasure by pleasing the poor. Indeed My pleasure never

37

separates from you even for a blink of an eye.- Hadeeth-eQudsee

15th DAY
This is an auspicious day of the birthday of Imaam Hasan A.S. our
second Imaaam. It is recommended to give alms and perform many
good deeds today. As it is the day when we remember Imaam
Hasan A.S. we should perform the Duaas and Aamaal related to
him. Here are few of them:

Recite Ziyaarat and Salawaat of the Imaam.

Namaaz of Imaam Hasan A.S. :- Pray 4 rakat


Namaaz, in each rakat recite Surah-e-Ikhlaas 25 times after AlHamd, then recite the following Dua:

Allaahumma Innee Ataqarrabu Ilayka Bi Joodika Wa


Karamika Wa Ataqarrabu Ilayka Bi Muhammadin
Abdika Wa Rasoolika Wa Ataqarrabu Ilayka Bi
Malaaikatikal Muqarrabeen Wa Ambiyaaika Wa

Walaa Tuadh-dhibanee Bi Qabeehin Kana Minnee
Fa Inna Afwaka Wa Joodaka Yasaooni Innaka Alaa
Kulli Shayin Qadeer.

The time just after sunrise (before the redness of the horizon
disappears) is the time dedicated to Imaam Hasan A.S. So we
should recite the following Duaa everyday at that particular time,
the Duaa is :-

17th NIGHT
17th Maah-e-Ramadhaan is the date on which the Battle of Bard
was fought, and the Muslim army, in spite of their small number,
came out victorious against the huge army of infidels. Following
are some Aamaal to be done tonight:

Perform Sunnat Ghusl;

Giving Sadaqah is Mustahab today;

Perform the prayers and Duaa for Shukr (thanks-giving);

************
Oh son of Adam ! Indeed the truth has been
revealed to you from your Lord. Whoever
wants to believe let him believe and whoever
wants to disbelieve let him be a disbeliever.
Indeed you are not good to a person unless he
is good to you. And you are not kind to your
relatives unless they are kind to you. And you
do not talk to a person unless he talks to you.
And you do not feed a person unless he feeds
you. And you are not just to a person unless
he is just to you. And you do not respect a
person unless he respects you No one is
superior to the other, indeed the believers are:
those who believe in Allaah and His
Messengers, good to those who are bad to
them, kind to those who break ties of
relationship with them, give to those who do
not give to them, just to those who are unjust

41

to them, talk to those who isolate themselves


from them, respectful to those who dont
respect
them.
Hadeeth-e-Qudsee.

If it were not for the Ruku (kneeling) of elders,


suckling babies, grazing animals, humble youths,
indeed I would have made the sky of steel, the
earth of copper, and the mud of pebbles. I would
not have sent a single drop of water from the sky
and grown a single grain from earth. I would have
poured on you My worst wrath.

Hadeeth-e-Qudsee.

LAYLATUL QADR --- 19TH NIGHT


This is the first night of Shab-e-Qadr. The Aamaal are as
follows:-

1. After sunset one should perform Ghusl so as to pray


Maghribain and do Aamaal of Laylatul Qadr.

2. Recite 2 rakat Namaaz in which recite Surah-e-Ikhlaas 7


times in each rakat after Al-Hamd;

3. Recite 70 times Astaghfirullaaha Wa Atoobu


Ilayh.
4. Recite 100 times Astaghfirullaah Rabbee Wa
Atoobu Ilayh.

42

5. Recite 100 times Allaahummalan Qatalata


Ameerul Mumineen.
6. Then open the Holy Quran in front of you and look into it
reciting this Duaa :

Allaahumma Innee Asaluka Bi Kitaabikal Munzali


Wamaa Feehi Wa Fee Hismukal Akbaru Wa
Asmaaukal Husnaa Wamaa Yukhaafu Wa Yurjaa An
Tajalanee Min Utaqaaika Minan-Naar..(Haajat)
7. Then close the Holy Quraan and place it on the head, and say:Allaahumma Bihaqqi Haadhal Quraani Wa Bihaqqi
Man Arsaltahu Bihee Wa Bihaqqi Kulli Muminin
Madahtahu Feehi Wa Bihaqqika Alayhim Falaa
Ahada Aarafu Bihaqqika Minka,
and then recite 10 times each of these Holy names of

Qaaim.
8. Recite Ziyaarat of Imaam Husain A.S. (This specific
Ziyaarat is given in the final pages of this book)

9. Stay awake for the whole night; it is narrated that whoever


keeps night vigil for Ibaadaat is forgiven of all sins even if they be
as much as the stars in the sky or as heavy as the weight of waters
of the seas. And certainly Allaah S.W.T. is very pleased when His
servant sincerely repents and requests Him to pardon his sins. So
we must recite Istighfaar as much as possible and perform other
Aamaal for the forgiveness of sins.

10. Pray 100 rakat Namaaz. It is better to recite 10 times Surahe-Ikhlaas in every rakat.

11. Recite this Duaa from Imaam Zaynul Aabideen A.S.:Allaahumma Innee Amsaytu Laka Abdan Daakhiran

15.
In our Duaas we should remember and pray for our parents,
relatives, teachers, Ulamaa, neighbours and all Muslim brothers
and sisters. Reciting a Tasbeeh of Istighfaar and Salawaat for
them is beneficial, and also pray Namaaz for their Sawaab.
16.
The Holy Prophet S.A.W.W. said to ask from Allaah S.W.T.
in this night for sound health.

44
17. Some scholars say that keeping awake for the whole night
while discussing religious matters and Masalaas is a better deed
also.

Significance of 21st night is much more then the 19th night.


All the Aamaal which are mentioned in 19th night are similarly
to be performed on this night also, such as Ghusl, Namaaz,
Ziyaarat, putting Holy Quraan on the head, keeping awake the
whole night for Ibaadaat, hundred rakat Namaaz, Jawshan-eKabeer, etc. all are the same as they are for the 19th night.
In this night it is emphasized to recite abundant Salawaat on
Muhammad S.A.W.W. and Aali Muhammad A.S. and send
Laanat on their enemies.

You eat My provision and still
disobey Me; but when you call Me, I
still answer you. From Me good
bounties descend upon you and from
you sinful deeds come up to Me. How
good a master I am and how bad a
servent you are! I give whatever you
ask Me, but still you go on sinning. I
hide these sins, one after another, one
evil deed after another. I am ashamed
of you but you are not ashamed of Me?
You forget Me. But I remember you. You

Hadeeth-e-Qudsee.

Oh son of Adam! The earth always


says, You walk on me, but in the
end you will be within me. I am a
dwelling where you will have to

52
stay alone. I am a dwelling which
is full of ferocious things as well as
serpents and scorpions. So, oh son
of Adam! Do good deeds and
thereafter enter me; only then
would you be happy and without
hardships. Hadeeth-e-Qudsee.

THE LAST FRIDAY

Daily prayers are the best medium to


advance onself in favour of the Lord.
Hajj is a Jihaad for every weak person.
For every thing that you own there is
Zakaat, a tax paid to the Lord, and the
tax of your health is that you keep Fast.
The best Jihaad of a woman against
man is to render his home-life pleasing
and congenial.
- Imaam Ali A.S.

AAMAAL FOR TAWBA


(Repentence)
As it is mentioned earlier it is very essential to beg forgiveness and
seek repentance from Almighty Allaah S.W.T., specifically in this
Holy Month. Allaah is very pleased when we do sincere Tawba.
Initial step towards Tawba is that we should be sorry at heart for
the misdeeds or sins; Allaah S.W.T. is the Most Forgiving so we

85
should seek His forgiveness for our sins which may have been
committed knowingly or otherwise. No one in the world is sinless
or infallible except the Prophets and Maasoomeen A.S. Therefore
seeking forgiveness should be the most essential part of our life not
limited to this holy month only but during all our lives. Then we
should seek forgiveness or repay and compensate to the persons we
have wronged, if he / she is dead then we should seek forgiveness
from the heirs and pay the dues to them, or we should perform
some good deeds on behalf of the wronged-ones. Repentance
should be so much that the wronged one is absolutely pleased with
us and we owe nothing to him/her. And if God-forbid, we have
consumed unlawful food then we must Fast so many days as to
dissolve the accumulated fats and flash in our body that was
because of that Haraam earnings. Some hardships should be
undertaken so as to realize the gravity of sins. The important factor
in this is to make firm determination no to repeat the past sins and
keep away from all sins in the remaining future.
As it was said that we are human beings so nobody is sinless
except The Holy Infallibles so if one calmly ponders over it then it
might perhaps come to the mind some Qazaa Namaaz, or Namaaz
prayed late then its proper time or prayed hastily, or there might be
some Roza we had made Baatil unknowingly or carelessly, or there
might be remaining on our necks some rights of our parents,
children, relatives, neighbours, our teachers, scholars, and the
needy, or might it be that we have earned some unlawful earnings,
or might be that we have not paid Khums, Zakaat or any other
dues, or it might be that we have not performed Hajj, and even if
we had performed it might be full of mistakes, or might be in our
young age we committed some mistakes or sins because of
improper understanding, or might it be that we have not
propogated the religion as it should be done. All these factors and
others should be considered seriously and beg pardon and
forgiveness from the Almighty Allaah S.W.T.
Some ways to seek forgiveness are mentioned hereunder:1. Namaaz-e-Afw :- Pray two rakat Namaz. In each rakat after
Al-Hamd recite Surah-e-Qadr, recite Rabbee Afwaka 15
times before going in Rukoo, then in Rukoo, after its dhikr,
recite Rabbee Afwaka 10 times, then Sameeallaah. And
recite Rabbee Afwaka 10 times and go into Sajdah, in the
Sajdah, after its dhikr, again recite Rabbee Afwaka 10 times,
then when you sit recite again 10 times Rabbee Afwaka, then
in the next Sajdah also 10 times Rabbee Afwaka, then before

86
standing for the next rakat again say Rabbee Afwaka 10
times. In the second rakat do the same as the previous rakat.
2. Recite Astaghfirullaaha Rabbee Wa Aoobu Ilayh as many
times as possible, but sincerely and repentantly.
3. Pray Namaaz-e-Tahajjud (Shab) regularly. This is a sure way
to get forgiveness.
4. It is stated that this Aamal is specially to beg forgiveness from
Allaah, so any one who performs it his/her sins shall be
pardoned:- Perform Sunnat Ghusl, recite Ziyaarat of Bibi
Faatima Zehra S.A. then do Istighfaar, recite any Duaa for
Tawbah.
5. It is stated that if one recites these Holy Surahs of the Holy
Quraan his/her sins shall be forgiven, they are, Surah-eYaaseen, S.Tahreem, S.Waaqiah, S.Kaafiroon.
6. Reciting Ziyaarat of Imaam Ali Radhaa A.S. is also a means
of forgiveness.
7. Reciting these magnanimous Duaas can also wipe out sins:
Duaa-e-Mashlool,
Duaa-e-Kumayl, Duaa-e-Jawshan-eKabbeer, Duaa-e-Mujeer, Duaa-e-Asharaat, Duaa-eYastasheer, Duaa-e-Kanzul Arsh, Duaa-e-Tawassul, etc.
8. Namaaz-e-Rasoolullaah (s.a.w.w) Refer Mafaatihul Jinaan for
its method. (p.38)
9. Namaaz-e-Ameerul Muamineen (a.s) Refer Mafaatihul
Jinaan. (p.39)
10. Namaaz-e-Wasiyyat : Between Maghrib and Ishaa pray two
rakat Namaaz, in each rakat after Al-Hamd recite 13 times
Surah-e-Zilzaal and 15 times Surah-e-Ikhlaas.
11. Reciting SALAWAAT abundantly is also a sure way to
repentance.
12. This Amal is aslso effective for forgiveness: - Offer 4 rakat
Namaaz, in each rakat after Al-Hamd recite 3 times Surah-eIkhlaas, once Surah-e-Al-Falak and once Surah-e-An-Naas.
After finishing the Namaaz recite 70 times Astaghfirullaaha
Rabbee Wa Atoobu Ilayhi. Then recite the following Duaa :
Laa Hawla Walaa Quwwata Illaa Billaahil Aliyyil
Adhweem, Yaa Azeezu Yaa Ghaffaaru, Ighfirlee Dhunoobee
Wa Dhunoobi Jameeil Muamineena Wal Muaminaat, Fa
Innahoo Laa Yaghfirudh-Dhunnoba Illaa Anta.
13. Recite Surah-e-Sajdah on Friday-night.
14. Recite Surah-e-Dukhaan in Waajib and Sunnat Namaaz.
15. Pray 2 raka Namaaz, in each rakat after Al-Hamd recite 60
times Surah-e-Ikhlaas.
16. Namaaz-e-Ghufayla. Pray this Namaaz in between Maghrib
and Ishaa prayers,
17. In Sajdah recite this Duaa of Hazrat Ilyaas A.S.:- Ataraak
Muazzabi Wa Qad Adhmaatu Laka Hawaajiri, Ataraak

87
Muazzabi Wa Qad Affartu Laka Fit-Turaabi Wajhee,
Ataarak Muazzabi Wa Qad Ijtanabtu Lakal Maaaswee,
Ataraak Muazzabi Wa Qad Asharu Laka Laylee. (=O
Allaah Shall You The Most Merciful, be happy to see me
burning in fire and in great torments although I have been
observing Fasts in hot weather and endured acute thirst, and I
have restrained from sins to please You only; Will You be
happy to see me burning while I have kept night vigils for Your
worship ?.)
18. In the last Sajdah of the Naafilah of Ishaa recite 7 times:Allaahumma Innee Asaluka Bi Wajhikal Kareem, Wa Bi
Ismikal Adhweem, Antuswalli Alaa Muhammadin Wa Aali
Muhammad, Wa An Taghfiralee Dhanbiyal Adhweem.
19. After praying Namaaz always recite the following Duaa:-

Astaghfirullahl-ladhee Laa Ilaaha Illaa Huwa


Aalimul Ghaybi Wash-Shahaadatil Azeezul
Hakeemul Ghaffoorur-Raheemu Dhul Jalaali
Wal Ikraami Wa Atoobu Ilayhi.
20.

These Duaas also are for seeking forgiveness:-

DUAA - E TAWASSUL
If this magnificent Duaa is recited for beseeching forgiveness from
Allaah one should rest assured that he/she shall be forgiven. It is
because there are the names of fourteen Maasoomeen A.S. in it
through whose intercession we seek from Allaah. It is said that if it

89
is recited sincerely for a Haajat, it will be granted very soon. The
Duaa is:-

Almighty
S.W.T. says:

Allaah

Oh Musa! Indeed the servants act in


this world until death overpowers
them. Then they regret their past sins
and wrong-doings, they then seek to
return to this world so they can do
good deeds. Our Lord, we have seen
and we have heard, therefore send us
back, we will do good, surely (now)
we are certain. (32:12). I swear by
My Honour and My Power, I will not
send any one of them back.

Remember there are three kinds of people,
one kind is of those learned people who are highly
versed in the ethics of truth and philosophy of
religion; second is the kind of those who are
acquiring knowledge; and the third is that class of
people who are uneducated, they follow every
pretender and accept every slogan, they have neither
acquired any knowledge nor have they secured the
support of firm and rational convictions.

NAMAAZ-E-JAFAR-E-TAYYAAR A.S.
It is written that to perform this Namaz in Laylatul Qadr is very
beneficial. This Namaaz is very meritorious and effective. There
are many traditions which tell us about its high significance. Many
major sins are forgiven through this Namaaz-e-Jaafar-e-Tayyaar.
Its method is as follows:Pray 4 Rakats Namaaz in a set of 2 Rakats each.

In the 1st rakat after Al-Hamd recite Surah-e-Zilzaal (Idhaa


Zulzilatil Ardhu Zilzaalhaa..) and in the 2nd rakat after Al-Hamd
recite Surah-e-Wal Aadiyaat (Wal Aadiyaati Dhabhan.);

103

In the second Namaaz of another two rakats recite Surah


Al-Nasr (Idhaa Jaaa Nasrullaahi Fath.) in the 1st rakat after
Al Hamd and Surah-e-Ikhlaas in the 2nd rakat after Al Hamd.

In every rakat after Al-Hamd and the Surah recite 15 times


Tasbihaat-e-Arbaaa (=Subhaanallaahi Wal Hamdu Lillaahi Wa
Laa Ilaaha Illallaahu Wallaahu Akber);

In all Rukoos, all Sujoods, and all stations recite Tasbihaate-Arbaaa 10 times; that is. In Rukoo, before Sijdah, in Sijdah,
before second Sijdah, after it, and before Tashahhud. (This will
totally make up to 300 times Tasbihaat-e-Arbaaa);

Imaam Jaafer Saadiq A.S. said after the 2nd Sajdah of the
4th rakat recite this Duaa:-

Subhaana Man Labisal Izza Wal Waqaar, Subhaana


Man Taattwafa Bil Majdi Wa Takarrama Bihee
Subhaana Man Laa Yambaghit-Tasbeehu Illaa

If at all we have done something wrong to any human being,
treated badly, abused, back-bited or usurped his / her right and
there remains no way to go to beg for forgiveness and repay the
dues to the aggrieved person then there is only one way left, and
that is to seek pardon from Almighty Allaah S.W.T. Who has the
authority to forgive us on behalf of the person whom we have
annoyed, persecuted, looted, abused, maltreated, harassed or
wronged in any way. For that purpose there is an Amaal as
follows :Pray 4 Rakat Namaaz in set of 2 Rakats.
In the 1st rakat after Al-Hamd recite 25 times Surah-e-Ikhlaas, in
the 2nd rakat recite 50 times, in the 3rd rakat 75 times and in the

107

Wassalaamun Alaa Manit-Tabiul Hudaa

Imaam Jaafar Saadiq A.S. said, It is written in


Hikmat-e- Aal-e-Daawood that traveling should be
undertaken for three purposes only:- (1) To gain the
Hereafter, (2) To gain sustenance, and (3) for the
lawful pleasure.
**************
Travel so that you become healthy, do Jihaad so that
you get the bounties of the world and of the
Hereafter.
**************
Dont stay in such a country where you cant
perform religious rituals and thus miss the religion.

**************
Travel on Tuesdays; this will solve your problems
because it was on this day that Allaah S.W.T. softened
the iron for Prophet Daawood A.S. And travel on
Saturdays for the sure return to your home
**************

It is Makrooh to travel or to strive hard for worldly


gains on the morning of Fridays. After the Jummah
Prayer it is blissful for every lawful work
