Hifzi Eman

a)Imam Mohammed Baqir (a.s.) has said that after every mandatory prayer, there is no better invocation than the Tasbeeh e Fatima (a.s.). If there was any other, more effective, way of Praising Allah, the Prophet (a.s.) would most certainly have instructed his daughter about that. Imam Jafar e Sadiq has said that reciting the Tasbeeh e Fatima (a.s.) after every compulsory prayer is better than performing a thousand genuflections:-

Allaho Akbar (34 times)

Alhamdu lillah (33 times)

Subhan Allah (33 times)

b) One should say once after reciting the Tasbeeh the following words La ilaha ilAllah لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ ٱللَّهُ

c)Imam Baqir (a.s.) says One who sits quietly after each mandatory prayer and recites 3 times the following , Allah will pardon all his sins:

I seek forgiveness from the Lord (testifying) There is no God other than Him The Living and the Everlasting Of Majesty and Splendour And I turn to Him In Repentence!

�Astaghfarallah allazi la ilaha illa huwal hayyal qayyumo zuljalal e wal ikraame wa aatube ilaihi

 

Imam Sadiq has said that if a person recites 30 times  Subhan Allah: after each compulsory prayer, all his sins will be pardoned 

    CHAPTER ONE   Mafatih  GENERAL POST-PRAYER duas

The following prayers and recommended devotional acts have been quoted from Shaykh al-��s��s famous book of Mi�b�� al-Mutahajjid and other reference books.

 

After you say the Tasl�m statement�the closing part of the ritual prayers�and accomplish your prayer, repeat the Takb�r statement (i.e. all�hu akbar; Allah is the Greatest) three times while raising your hands to the level of your ears and then say:

لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ ٱللَّهُ

l� il�ha ill� all�hu

There is no god save Allah;

إِلَهاً وَاحِداً

il�han w��idan

One and Only God;

وَنَحْنُ لَهُ مُسْلِمُونَ

wa na�nu lah� muslim�na

and we are submissive to Him.

لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ ٱللَّهُ

l� il�ha ill� all�hu

There is no god save Allah

وَلاَ نَعْبُدُ إِلاَّ إِيَّاهُ

wa l� na`budu ill� iyy�hu

and we worship none save Him,

مُخْلِصينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ

mukhli��na lah� aldd�na

making our devotion sincere as in His sight,

وَلَوْ كَرَهَ ٱلْمُشْرِكُونَ

wa law kariha almushrik�na

even though the polytheists may detest it.

لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ ٱللَّهُ

l� il�ha ill� all�hu

There is no god save Allah;

رَبُّنَا وَرَبُّ آبَائِنَا ٱلاوَّلِينَ

rabbun� wa rabbu �b�'in� al-awwal�na

(He is) Our Lord and the Lord of our fathers of old.

لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ

l� il�ha ill� all�hu

There is no god save Allah;

وَحْدَهُ وَحْدَهُ وَحْدَهُ

wa�dah� wa�dah� wa�dah�

Alone, alone, alone.

انْجَزَ وَعْدَهُ

anjaza wa`dah�

He has truly fulfilled His promise,

وَنَصَرَ عَبْدَهُ

wa na�ara `abdah�

granted His servant victory,

وَاعَزَّ جُنْدَهُ

wa a`azza jundah�

made powerful His soldiers,

وَهَزَمَ ٱلاحْزَابَ وَحْدَهُ

wa hazama al-a�z�ba wa�dah�

and defeated the parties alone.

فَلَهُ ٱلْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ ٱلْحَمْدُ

falahu almulku wa lah� al�amdu

So, sovereignty be His and praise be His.

يُحْيي وَيُميتُ

yu�y� wa yum�tu

He grants life and causes (others) to die,

وَيُميتُ وَيُحْيي

wa yum�tu wa yu�y�

and (then) causes to die and raises from the dead;

وَهُوَ حَيٌّ لاَ يَمُوتُ

wa huwa �ayyun l� yam�tu

while He is eternally ever-living and He never dies.

بِيَدِهِ ٱلْخَيْرُ

biyadihi alkhayru

All goodness is at His Hand,

وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْء قَديرٌ

wa huwa `al� kulli shay'in qad�run

and He has power over all things.

Then, say the following:

I seek forgiveness of Allah; there is no god save Him,

astaghfiru all�ha alladh� l� il�ha ill� huwa

اسْتَغْفِرُ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِي لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ

the Ever-living and Self-Subsisting; and to Him do I turn in repentance.

al�ayyu alqayy�mu wa at�bu ilayhi

ٱلْحَيُّ ٱلْقَيُّومُ وَاتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ

Then, say the following:

اَللَّهُمَّ ٱهْدِنِي مِنْ عِنْدِكَ

O Allah, (please do) guide me to the true guidance of Yours,

وَافِضْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ

وَٱنْشُرْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ

wanshur `alayya min ra�matika

spread over me from Your mercy,

وَانْزِلْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ بَرَكاتِكَ

wa anzil `alayya min barak�tika

and bring down upon me from Your blessings.

سُبْحَانَكَ لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ انْتَ

sub��naka l� il�ha ill� anta

Glory be to You; there is no god save You.

ٱغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبِي كُلَّهَا جَمِيعاً

(Please) forgive my sins�all of them entirely,

فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَغْفِرُ ٱلذُّنُوبَ كُلَّهَا جَمِيعاً إِلاَّ انْتَ

fa'innah� l� yaghfiru aldhdhun�ba kullih� jam�`an ill� anta

because none can forgive all sins entirely save You.

اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي اسْالُكَ مِنْ كُلِّ خَيْرٍ احَاطَ بِهِ عِلْمُكَ

O Allah, I beseech You to grant me wellbeing from You in all of my affairs

وَاعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ خِزْيِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَعَذَابِ ٱلآخَرَةِ

wa a`�dhu bika min khizyi aldduny� wa `adh�bi al�khirati

and Your power that none can deter

مِنْ شَرِّ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلآخِرَةِ

min sharri aldduny� wal-�khirati

against the evils of this world and the Next World,

وَمِنْ شَرِّ ٱلاوْجَاعِ كُلِّهَا

wa min sharri alawj�`i kullih�

the evils of all pains,

وَمِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ انْتَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهَا

wa min sharri kulli d�bbatin anta �khidhun bin��iyatih�

and the evil of all moving creatures that You grasp from forelocks.

إنَّ رَبِّي عَلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ

inna rabb� `al� �ir��in mustaq�min

Verily, my Lord is on a Straight Path.

وَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

wa l� �awla wa l� quwwata ill� bill�hi al`aliyyi al`a��mi

There is neither strength nor power save with Allah, the All-high and All-great.

تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَىٰ ٱلْحَيِّ ٱلَّذِي لاَ يَمُوتُ

tawakkaltu `al� al�ayyi alladh� l� yam�tu

I put my trust in the Ever-living (Lord) Who never dies.

وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَداً

وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِيٌّ مِنَ ٱلذُّلِّ

wa kabbirhu takb�ran

Then, utter the Tasb�� al-Zahr�' litany (which is discussed in the attached book of al-B�qiy�t al-��li��t).

Before you move from your prayer-place, repeat the following litany ten times:

اشْهَدُ انْ لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ ٱللَّهُ

ash-hadu an l� il�ha ill� all�hu

I bear witness that there is no god save Allah;

وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَريكَ لَهُ

wa�dah� l� shar�ka lah�

(He is) One and Only; and there is no partner with Him;

إِلَهاً وَاحِداً

il�han w��idan

a Single God;

احَداً فَرْداً صَمَداً

a�adan fardan �amadan

One, Unique, and eternally Besought of all.

لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ صَاحِبَةً وَلاَ وَلَداً

lam yattakhidh ���ibatan wa l� waladan

It is narrated that a great reward is obtained by saying this litany, especially after the Dawn (Fajr) and Evening (`Ish�') obligatory Prayers and at sunrise and sunset.

O He Who is not annoyed by the insistence of those who entreat Him persistently!

اذِقْنِي بَرْدَ عَفْوِكَ

adhiqn� barda `afwika

(Please do) Make me taste the nice flavor of Your pardon

وَحَلاَوَةَ رَحْمَتِكَ وَمَغْفِرَتِكَ

wa �al�wata ra�matika wa maghfiratika

and the sweetness of Your mercy and forgiveness.

You may also say the following  prayer:

إِلٰهِي هٰذِهِ صَلاَتِي صَلَّيْتُهَا

il�h� h�dhih� �al�t� �allaytuh�

O Allah, This is my prayer that I have just offered

لاَ لِحَاجَة مِنْكَ إِلَيْهَا

l� li��jatin minka ilayh�

on account of neither a need that You may have for it

وَلاَ رَغْبَةٍ مِنْكَ فِيهَا

wa l� raghbatin minka f�h�

nor a desire that You may have for it;

إِلاَّ تَعْظِيمَاً وَطَاعَةً

ill� ta`��man wa ��`atan

rather, it is only glorification of You, obedience to You,

وَإِجَابَةً لَكَ إِلَىٰ مَا امَرْتَنِي بِهِ

wa ij�batan laka il� m� amartan� bih�

and response to You to carry out what You have ordered me to do.

إِلٰهِي إِنْ كَانَ فِيهَا خَلَلٌ اوْ نَقْصٌ

O my God: If there is a defect or a deficiency in my prayer,

مِنْ رُكُوعِهَا اوْ سُجُودِهَا

min ruk�`ih� aw suj�dih�

whether in the genuflection or the prostration;

فَلاَ تُؤَاخِذْنِي

fal� tu��khidhn�

then, (please) do not reproach me for it;

وَتَفَضَّلْ عَلَيَّ بِٱلْقَبُولِ وَٱلْغُفْرَانِ

wa tafa��al `alayya bilqab�li wal-ghufr�ni

rather, confer upon me with Your acceptance (of it) and forgiveness (of me).

 

After accomplishment of the ritual prayers, you may also say the following  prayer, which the Holy Prophet (�) taught to Imam `Al� Am�r al-Mu'min�n (`a) for developing memory:

سُبْحَانَ مَنْ لاَ يَعْتَدي عَلَىٰ اهْلِ مَمْلَكَتِهِ

sub��na man l� ya`tad� `al� ahli mamlakatih�

Glory be to Him Who does not treat the people of His realm with transgression!

سُبْحَانَ مَنْ لاَ يَاخُذُ اهْلَ ٱلارْضِ بِالْوَانِ الْعَذَابِ

Al-Kaf`am�, in his book of al-Mi�b��, cites that it is advisable to repeat the following  prayer three times after obligatory prayers:

اعِيذُ نَفْسي وَدِينِي

u`�dhu nafs� wa d�n�

I seek for myself, my religion,

وَ اهْلِي وَمَالِي

وَمَا رَزَقَنِي رَبِّي وَخَوَاتِيمَ عَمَلِي

all sustenance that my Lord has provided to me as sustenance, the results of my deeds,

وَمَنْ يَعْنِينِي امْرُهُ

wa man ya`n�n� amruh�

and whomever I may concern about,

بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ

bill�hi alw��idi

(I seek for all these) the protection of Allah, the Single,

ٱلاحَدِ ٱلصَّمَدِ

al-a�adi al��amadi

the One, and the eternally Besought of all

ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ

alladh� lam yalid wa lam y�lad

Who begets not, nor is He begotten;

وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُواً احَدٌ

wa lam yakun lah� kufwan a�adun

and the like of Whom there is none.

وَبِرَبِّ ٱلْفَلَقِ

wa birabbi alfalaqi

And [I seek the protection of] the Lord of the dawn

مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ

min sharri m� khalaqa

from the evil of what He has created,

وَمِنْ شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ

wa min sharri gh�siqin idh� waqaba

the evil of the utterly dark night when it comes,

وَمِنْ شَرِّ ٱلنَّفَّاثَاتِ فِي ٱلْعُقَدِ

wa min sharri alnnaff�th�ti f� al`uqadi

the evil of those who blow on knots,

وَمِنْ شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ

and the evil of the envious when he envies.

وَبِرَبِّ ٱلنَّاسِ

And [I seek the protection of] the Lord of men,

مَلِكِ ٱلنَّاسِ

maliki alnn�si

the King of men,

إِلٰهِ ٱلنَّاسِ

il�hi alnn�si

the God of men,

مِنْ شَرِّ ٱلْوَسْوَاسِ ٱلْخَنَّاسِ

min sharri alwasw�si alkhann�si

from the evil of the whisperings of the slinking (Satan),

ٱلَّذِي يُوَسْوِسُ فِي صُدُورِ ٱلنَّاسِ

alladh� yuwaswisu f� �ud�ri alnn�si

who whispers into the hearts of men

مِنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ وَٱلنَّاسِ

mina aljinnati walnn�si

from among the jinn and the men.

 

It is narrated in an inscription handwritten by Shaykh al-Shah�d that the Holy Prophet (�) said: Whoever desires that Almighty Allah will not show him his evildoings (that he did in this world) on the Resurrection Day and will not open the record of his evildoings, should say the following  prayer after each obligatory prayer:

اَللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ مَغْفِرَتَكَ ارْجَىٰ مِنْ عَمَلِي

all�humma inna maghfirataka arj� min `amal�

O Allah, Truly, I hope for Your forgiveness more than I trust my deed.

وَإِنَّ رَحْمَتِكَ اوْسَعُ مِنْ ذَنْبِي

wa inna ra�mataka awsa`u min dhanb�

Your mercy is verily more expansive than my sin.

اَللَّهُمَّ إنْ كَانَ ذَنبِي عِنْدَكَ عَظِيماً

all�humma in k�na dhanb� `indaka `a��man

O Allah, If my sin is grave in Your view,

فَعَفْوُكَ اعْظَمُ مِنْ ذَنْبِي

fa`afwuka a`�amu min dhanb�

then Your pardon is greater than my sin.

اَللَّهُمَّ إِنْ لَمْ اكُنْ اهْلاً انْ ابْلُغَ رَحْمَتَكَ

all�humma in lam akun ahlan an ablugha ra�mataka

O Allah, If I do not deserve to attain Your mercy,

فَرَحْمَتُكَ اهْلٌ انْ تَبْلُغَنِي وَتَسَعَنِي

fara�matuka ahlun an tablughan� wa tasa`an�

then Your mercy is so liberal that it can reach and include me,

لانَّهَا وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ

li-annah� wasi`at kulla shay'in

because it has included all things;

بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا ارْحَمَ ٱلرَّاحِمينَ

bira�matika y� ar�ama alrr��im�na

[Let it be] by Your mercy; O most Merciful of all those who show mercy.

 

Ibn B�bawayh (i.e. Shaykh al-�ad�q) holds that one should say the following litany immediately after uttering Tasb�� al-Zahr�':

اَللَّهُمَّ انْتَ ٱلسَّلاَمُ

all�humma anta alssal�mu

O Allah, You are the [source of] peace,

After saying this litany, one may pray Almighty Allah to grant him all his personal desires.

رَضِيتُ بِٱللَّهِ رَبّاً

ra��tu bill�hi rabban

I have submitted to Allah being my Lord,

وَبِٱلإِسْلاَمِ ديناً

wa bil-isl�mi d�nan

to Islam being my religion,

وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّىٰ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ نَبِيّاً

wa bimu�ammadin �all� all�hu `alayhi wa �lihi nabiyyan

to Mu�ammad�peace be upon him and his Household�being the Prophet,

وَبِعَلِيٍّ إِمَامَاً

wa bi`aliyyin im�man

to `Al� being my leader,

وَبِٱلْحَسَنِ وَٱلْحُسَيْنِ

wa bil�asani wal-�usayni

to al-�asan, al-�usayn,

You should then repeat the following  prayer three times:

and wellbeing in this world as well as the Next World.

 

It is narrated from Imam Ali (as) if one desires to depart from this world as innocent as he was at his birth, then he should recite the Sura e Ikhlaas twelve times after every compulsory prayer and then raise his hands towards the sky and recite the following invocation:

Allahumma inni asaloka beismekal maknoone wal makhzoonil tahiril tuhharil mubarake wa asaloka beismekal azeeme wa sultanekal qadeeme ya waheb al ataya wa ya mutleqal usaara wa ya fakkakar riqaabe min an naare asaloka anto salle ala Mohammedin wa alle Mohammadin wa an tuteqa raqbati minan naare wa an tuqrijani min ad duniya aamenan wa an tudqilunil jannata salemun wa an tajal duaee awwalahu falahan wa awsatahu najahan wa aakhirahu salahan innaka anta allamul ghayoobo

CHapter Four  Supplications Before and After Ritual Prayers (baqiyatus salehat )

Five in number, these  prayers are as follows:

First: Imam al-��diq (`a) is reported to have said: Imam `Al� Am�r al-Mu'min�n (`a) used to say: Whoever says these words, will be added to the group of Mu�ammad and his Household:

Before commencing a ritual prayer, the following  prayer may be said:

اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي اتَوَجَّهُ إِلَيْكَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ

all�humma inn� atawajjah� ilayka bimu�ammadin wa �li mu�ammadin

O Allah, I turn my face towards You in the name of Mu�ammad and Mu�ammad�s Household,

وَاقَدِّمُهُمْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ صَلَوَاتِي

wa uqaddimuhum bayna yaday �alaw�t�

present them before You before I begin my prayers,

وَاتَقَرَّبُ بِهِمْ إِلَيْكَ

wa ataqarrabu bihim ilayka

and seek nearness to You in their names.

فَٱجْعَلْنِي بِهِمْ وَجِيهاً

faj`aln� bihim waj�han

So, in their names, (please) make me of high regard with You

فِي ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلآخِرَةِ

f� aldduny� wal-�khirati

in this world and the Hereafter

وَمِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ

wa min almuqarrab�na

and of those drawn near to You.

مَنَنْتَ عَلَيَّ بِمَعْرِفَتِهِمْ

mananta `alayya bima`rifatihim

You have endued me with the great favor of making me know them;

فَٱخْتِم لِي بِطَاعَتِهِمْ

fakhtim l� bi��`atihim

so, (please) seal my life with obedience to them,

وَمَعْرِفَتِهِمْ وَوِلاَيَتِهِمْ

wa ma`rifatihim wa wil�yatihim

recognition of them, and loyalty to them,

فَإِنَّهَا ٱلسَّعَادَةُ

fa'innah� alssa`�datu

because this is the true happiness.

وَٱخْتِمْ لِي بِهَا

wakhtim l� bih�

Therefore, (please) seal my life with these things,

فَإِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

fa'innaka `al� kulli shay'in qad�run

for You have power over all things.

 

Upon accomplishment of the prayer, the following  prayer may be said:

اَللَّهُمَّ ٱجْعَلْنِي مَعَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ

all�humma ij`aln� ma`a mu�ammadin wa �li mu�ammadin

O Allah, (please) make me with Mu�ammad and Mu�ammad�s Household

وَٱجْعَلْنِي مَعَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ

waj`aln� ma`a mu�ammadin wa �li mu�ammadin

and make me with Mu�ammad and Mu�ammad�s Household

فِي كُلِّ مَثْوىًٰ وَمُنْقَلَبٍ

f� kulli mathwan wa munqalabin

in every place of returning and place of rest.

اَللَّهُمَّ ٱجْعَلْ مَحْيَايَ مَحْيَاهُمْ

all�humma ij`al ma�y�ya ma�y�hum

O Allah, (please) make me live their lives

وَمَمَاتِي مَمَاتَهُمْ

wa mam�t� mam�tahum

and die their death,

وَٱجْعَلْنِي مَعَهُمْ فِي ٱلْمَوَاطِنِ كُلِّهَا

waj`aln� ma`ahum f� almaw��ini kullih�

include me with them in all situations,

وَلاَ تُفَرِّقْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُمْ

wa l� tufarriq bayn� wa baynahum

and do not depart me from them.

إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ

innaka `al� kulli shay'in qad�run

Verily, You have power over all things.

 

Second: �afw�n al-Jamm�l is reported to have said: I was once with Imam al-��diq (`a). He directed his face towards the kiblah direction (for performing a prayer) and said the following  prayer before he uttered the takb�rah al-i�r�m statement (i.e. the commencing statement of the ritual prayers):

اَللَّهُمَّ لاَ تُؤْيِسْنِي مِنْ رَوْحِكَ

all�humma l� tu'yisn� min raw�ika

O Allah, (please) do not make me despair of Your soothing mercy,

وَلاَ تُقَنِّطْنِي مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ

wa l� tuqanni�n� min ra�matika

do not make me lose hope of Your mercy,

وَلاَ تُؤْمِنِّي مَكْرَكَ

wa l� tu'minn� makraka

and do not make me feel secure against Your plans,

فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَامَنُ مَكْرَ ٱللَّهِ إِلاَّ ٱلْقَوْمُ ٱلْخَاسِرُونَ

fa'innah� l� ya'manu makra all�hi ill� alqawmu alkh�sir�na

for none feels secure against Allah�s plans except the losing people.

 

Third: Imam al-��diq (`a) is reported to have said: Imam `Al� Am�r al-Mu'min�n (`a) used to say the following  prayer whenever he accomplished the midday (i.e. �uhr) prayer:

اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي اتَقَرَّبُ إِلَيْكَ بِجُودِكَ وَكَرَمِكَ

all�humma inn� ataqarrabu ilayka bij�dika wa karamika

O Allah, I seek nearness to You in the name of Your magnanimity and generosity,

wa ataqarrabu ilayka bimu�ammadin `abdika wa ras�lika

I seek nearness to You in the name of Mu�ammad Your servant and messenger,

وَاتَقَرَّبُ إِلَيْكَ بِمَلاَئِكَتِكَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ

wa ataqarrabu ilayka bimal�'ikatika almuqarrab�na

and I seek nearness to You in the name of Your archangels,

وَانْبِيَائِكَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ وَبِكَ

wa anbiy�'ika almursal�na wa bika

Your missioned prophets, and You.

اَللَّهُمَّ انْتَ ٱلْغَنِيُّ عَنِّي

all�humma anta alghaniyyu `ann�

O Allah, You are independent of me

وَبِيَ ٱلْفَاقَةُ إِلَيْكَ

wa biya alf�qatu ilayka

while I am in need for You.

انْتَ ٱلْغَنِيُّ وَانَا ٱلْفَقِيرُ إِلَيْكَ

anta alghaniyyu wa an� alfaq�ru ilayka

You are the self-sufficient while I am needy for You.

اقَلْتَنِي عَثْرَتِي

aqaltan� `athrat�

You have overlooked my slips

وَسَتَرْتَ عَلَيَّ ذُنُوبِي

wa satarta `alayya dhun�b�

and covered my sins;

فَٱقْضِ ٱلْيَوْمَ حَاجَتِي

faq�i alyawma ��jat�

so, (please) grant my request on this day

وَلاَ تُعَذِّبْنِي بِقَبِيحِ مَا تَعْلَمُ مِنِّي

wa l� tu`adhdhibn� biqab��i m� ta`lamu minn�

and do not punish me for the hideous things You know about me.

بَلْ عَفْوُكَ وَجُودُكَ يَسَعُنِي

bal `afwuka wa j�duka yasa`un�

Rather, Your pardon and Your magnanimity are so expansive that they can encompass me.

He would then prostrate himself and say the following  prayer:

يَا اهْلَ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ

y� ahla alttaqw�

O worthy to be feared!

وَيَا اهْلَ ٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ

wa y� ahla almaghfirati

O worthy to forgive!

يَا بَرُّ يَا رَحِيمُ

O All-benign! O All-merciful!

انْتَ ابَرُّ بِي مِنْ ابِي وَامِّي

You are more benign to me than my father, my mother,

وَمِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْخَلاَئِقِ

wa min jam�`i alkhal�'iqi

and all creatures.

ٱقْلِبْنِي بِقَضَاءِ حَاجَتِي

iqlibn� biqa��'i ��jat�

(Please) make me return having my request granted (by You),

مُجَاباً دُعَائِي

having my prayer responded,

مَرْحُوماً صَوْتِي

having my voice compassionated,

قَدْ كَشَفْتَ انْوَاعَ ٱلْبَلاَءِ عَنِّي

qad kashafta anw�`a albal�'i `anna�

and having all sorts of tribulation held off from me.

THE INVOCATIONS  OF THE MORNINGS AND EVENINGS

Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s) has said, � when a person recites the following ten times before the sunrise and before the sunset every day, all his sins committed on that day will be pardoned:

La ilaha il Allaho wahdahu la shareeka lahu lahul mulko wa lahul hamdo yohi wa yumeeto wa yohi wa huwa hayyun la yamooto be yadahil khaire wa huwa ala kulle shaiyin qadeer

Imam Mohammed Baqir (a.s.) has said, � One who recites the Salawat on Mohammed and his progeny ten times at dawn and repeats the following words

Subhan Allah ( 35 times)

La ilaha il Allah (35 times)

Alhamdu lillah (35 times)

And repeats the same at dusk, then he will be counted as those who are busy supplicating to Allah throughout the day. And one who says allaho Akbar a hundred times at dawn and at dusk, he will get Reward equal to releasing a hundred slaves.

It is narrated that the Prophet of Allah (a.s.) used to recite three hundred and sixty times every dawn and dusk the following Alhamdu lillahi rabbilaalimeen kateeran ala kulle haalin

He (a.s.) said that there are 360 veins in the human body. Of them 180 are mobile and the other 180 are static. If, even one mobile vein becomes static, or any of the static veins becomes mobile, then the person doesn�t get the sleep and remains restless the whole night. He should therefore regularly recite the invocation mentioned above.

Hazrat Ameer al Momineen has said that anyone who recited three times the following words every morning and evening, then Allah will certainly enter him into the Heaven:

Razaito billahi rabban wa bilislame deenan wa Muhammadin sal allaho alaihi wa aalehi nabian wa bil qurane balaghan wa be aliyin imaman wa bil ausiayo min wuldehe aayimatan

Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s.) has said that one who recites the following words 25 times every day, then Allah will write one virtue in the names of all the momins from Adam (a.s.) till the Day of Reckoning and to that individual he will Reward equal to that of all the momins:

Allahumma aghfiru lilmomineena wal mominaate wal muslimeena wal muslimaate

 

Recite ten times the Quranic Surah (i.e. Chapter) known as al-Ikhlas:

Recite ten times�All Praise and Glory be to Allah, the Supreme And there is no power or power-acquiring Except through God, the High, and the Mighty�.

 Recite once:�In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate God, guide me through Your Grace; Supplement my meager means with abundance of your generosity. Spread your Mercy All over me. Send down over me your Blessing!� 

Recite ten times:�Glory and Praise be to Allah For there is no God except Allah And Allah is Supreme�. 

Recite ten times:�I bear witness that there is no God except Allah. He is alone having no equals or partners. Alone everlasting Who does not need to take a son or a spouse�

 Recite once:�In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate. I give, hereby, myself And all that God has give me In the custody of Allah, The one, The Everlasting, Who begets not. Nor has He been begotten. Nor there is one equal to Him! And I, hereby, take refuge with myself And that God has given me With the Lord of Day break From the evil of what He has created And from the evil of darkness when it gathers. And from the evil of those women who blow on knots And from the evil of envious when he envies. And I take refuge with myself and all that God has given me With the Lord of men, The King of men, the Sustainer of men From the evil or the slinking whisperer Who whispers in the breasts of men Of Jin and Men�.

 Recite once:There is no power or strength save in God The most High, the Most Supreme. I rely on the Living Who will not Taste, the Taste of death I laud and glorify the One Who has not take a spouse Or a son! Nor there was a partner to share sovereignty nor a friend To supplement a possible need. So glorify Him In the greatest way possible. 

Recite three times:�I seek forgiveness from the Lord (testifying) There is no God other than Him The Living and the Everlasting Of Majesty and Splendour And I turn to Him In Repentence!� 

Then recite:�O Lord I ask you In the name of Muhammad and his line of Progeny To have Mercy on Muhammad and his posterity. And (through them) grant me (also) The light in my eyes, the true understanding of my faith The (Divine) Certainty in my heart The sincerity in my actions and peace in my mind And spaciousness in the means of my living And gratitude unto You As long as you decide to keep me alive�. 

Then recite:�There is no God except Allah, the One, without any partner. To Him belongs the Kingdom and to Him is due all Praise. He gives life and death. In His hand is the good, and He has power over all things�.

�I seek refuge in Allah, the Hearing, the Knowing, from the evil suggestions of Shaitans and seek refuge in Allah from their presence. Surely Allah -- He is the Hearing, the Knowing�.

 Then recite:�O Allah! Who transforms hearts and eyes, may my heart steadfast to Thy religion. And make not my heart to deviate after Thou hast guided me a right and grant me Thy mercy. Surely Thou art All � bestower, and by Thy mercy save me from the fire. Oh Allah! Extend the span of my life and increase my subsistence and unfold Thy Knowledge. If there is any misfortune for me in the guarded tablets make it fortunate for me, for surely thou effaces what Thou pleases and inscribes (what Thou pleases) and art heart of guarded tablet�.

O My Allah! I Ask Thee For Success And Safety, In All Matters Concerning Me. I Seek Thy Shelter From Misery And Disgrace I Come Across In This World, And The Trouble I May Have To Face On The Day Of Judgment; I Take Shelter Under Thy Kind And Compassionate, Equitable Ways And  Means, And Thy Glorious Majesty That Does Not Fix Terms (Predestination), And Thy Omnipotence That Does Not Arbitrarily Prevent Things From (Obeying The Operation Of) Evil Of This World And Hereafter (If They Chose To Be In The Thick Of It); Also It Is True In Connection with The Evil Of Hunger And The Diseases And Evil Of (All Type Of) Violence.

(All) praise is for Allah, as often as and each time when something praises Allah, and just as loves Allah that which praises Him with (the worlds) �Alhamdulillaah� as He (alone) is it fit for and is worthy of, since it is for the sake of His kind disposition, and glory of His Majesty. There is no God save Allah, as often as and each time when something cries out �Allah� in joy and delight, and just as loves Allah that which pronounces the words �Laa ilaaha ilallah� as He (alone) is fit for and is worthy of, since it is for the sake of His kind disposition, and glory of His Majesty. Allah is the Greatest, as often as and each time when something calls Allah Great and sublime, and just as loves Allah that which says �Allahu Akbar� as He (alone) is fit for and is worthy of, since it is for the sake of His kind disposition, and glory of His Majesty. �Glory be to Allah�, (All) praise is for Allah (alone) �there is God save Allah�, and �Allah is the Greatest�, for all the bounties bestowed upon me, and on every one of the created beings that He created, by whom ( the above noted four declarations ) used to be, are, or shall be made to the Last Day of Judgment. O My Allah send blessings on Muhammad and on the Children of Muhammad. I request Thee (to give me) the good that I ask for, and the good which I have not referred to. I take refuge with Thee, from the evil that is hanging over my head, and the evil which has not yet come upon me.

سُبْحانَ اللهِ كُلَّما سَبَّحَ اللهَ شَيءٌ وَكَما يُحِبُّ اللهُ اَنْ يُسَبَّحَ وَكَما هُوَ اَهْلُهُ وَكما يَنْبَغي لِكَرَمِ وَجْهِهِ وَعِزِّ جَلالِهِ وَالْحَمْدُ للهِ كُلَّما حَمِدَ اللهَ شَيءٌ وَكَما يُحِبُّ اللهُ اَنْ يُحْمَدَ وَكَما هُوَ اَهْلُهُ وَكَما يَنْبَغي لِكَرَمِ وَجْهِهِ وَعِزِّ جَلالِهِ وَلا اِلـهَ اِلاّ اللهُ كُلَّما هَلَّلَ اللهَ شَيءٌ وَكَما يُحِبُّ اللهُ اَنْ يُهَلَّلَ وَكَما هُوَ اَهْلُهُ وَكَما يَنْبَغي لِكَرَمِ وَجْهِهِ وَعِزِّ جَلالِهِ وَاللهُ اَكْبَرُ كُلَّما كَبَّرَ اللهَ شَيءٌ وَكَما يُحِبُّ اللهُ اَنْ يُكَبَّرَ وَكَما هُوَ اَهْلُهُ وَكَما يَنْبَغي لِكَرَمِ وَجْهِهِ وَعِزِّ جَلالِهِ سُبْحانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ للهِ وَلا اِلـهَ اِلاَّ اللهُ وَاللهُ اَكْبَرُ عَلى كُلِّ نِعْمَة اَنْعَمَ بِها عَلَىَّ وَعَلى كُلِّ اَحَد مِنْ خَلْقِهِ مِمَّنْ كانَ أوْ يَكُونُ اِلى يَوْمِ الْقِيامَةِ اَللّـهُمَّ اِنّي أسْألُكَ اَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلى مُحَمَّد وَآلِ مُحَمَّد وَأسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِ ما أَرْجُو وَخَيْرِ ما لا أرْجُو وَاَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ ما أحْذَرُ وَمِنْ شَرِّ ما لا أحْذَرُ .

Verily your Lord is Allah who created the earth in six days; then occupied the throne (Arsh). He covers the night with the day which swiftly follows it, and has made the sun and the moon and the stars subservient by His command. Verily His is all creation and commandment. Blessed is Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. Call upon your Lord humbly and in secret. Verily He loves not the transgressors. And make not mischief in the earth after it�s �fair ordering� (Reformation) thereof, and call on Him in awe and hope. Verily the mercy of Allah is at hand for those who do good.

اِنَّ ربَّكُمُ اللهُ الَّذِىْ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَاْلاَرْضَ فِىْ سِتَّةِ اَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَاى عَلَى الْعَرْشِ يُغْشِى اللَّيْلَ النَّهَارَ يَطْلُبُه حَثِيْثًا وَّالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ وَالنُّجُوْمَ مُسَخَّرَاتٍ بِاَمْرِهِ اَلاَ لَهُ الَاخَلْقُ واْلاَمْرُ تَبَارَكَ اللهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِيْنَ. اُدْعُوْا رَبَّكُمْ تَضَرُّعًا وَّخُفْيَةً اِنَّه لاَيُحِبُّ الْمُعْتَدِيْنَ . وَلاَ تُفْسِدُوْا فِى اْلاِرْضِ بَعْدَ اِصْلاَحِهَا وَادْعُوْهُ خَوْفًا وَّطَمَعًا اِنَّ رَحْمَتَ اللهِ قَرِيْبٌ مِّنَ الْمُحْسِنِيْنَ

(ii) (then) say :

My Allah send blessings on Muhammad and on the children of Muhammad, let my affairs be free from care and make them profitable and give me means of livelihood from my share, and from whence I have no expectation.

اَللّـهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّد وَآلِ مُحَمَّد وَاجْعَلْ لي مِنْ اَمْري فَرَجاً وَمَخْرَجاً وَارْزُقْنى مِنْ حَيْثُ أَحْتَسِبُ وَمِنْ حَيْثُ لا أحْتَسِبُ

(ii) In the same position say 3 times :

O Lord of might and glory, send blessings on Muhammad and   on the Children of Muhammad. And have mercy on me, keep me safe from the fire (of Hell)

يا ذَا الْجَلالِ وَالاِكْرامِ صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّد وَآلِ مُحَمَّد وَارْحَمْني وَاَجِرْني مِنَ النّارِ

 (10)  Recite 12 times:

(i) Sooratul Ikhlaas
(ii) And the following dua�a Imam Ali Al-Murtaza(A.S.)  used to recite 12times after every obligatory Namaaz.
O My Allah, I beseech Thee in the name of Thy well-guarded, treasured, pure, chaste, and blessed name; and I beseech Thee in the name of Thy Great name, Thy Kingdom is eternal, O He who makes many generous presents, O He who sets slaves free, O He who loses and unties the throttling ties around the neck in the fire of Hell, I beseech Thee (that) Thou send blessings on Muhammad and on the Children of Muhammad, and set my neck free from the burning inferno; make my exit from this world calm and peaceful, and my entry in Paradise safe and easy, settle my supplication (as under) :
Let the first be a total liberation, the middle a whole success, let the last be a beautiful order of lasting peace. Verily Thou art well aware of all that is hidden and invisible.

اَللّـهُمَّ اِنّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْمَكْنُونِ الَْمخْزُونِ الطّاهِرِ الطُّهْرِ الْمُبارَكِ وَأسْأَلُكَ بِاْسمِكَ الْعَظيمِ وَسُلْطانِكَ الْقَديمِ يا واهِبَ الْعَطايا وَيا مُطْلِقَ الاُسارى وَيا فَكّاكَ الرِّقابِ مِنَ النّارِ أَسْأَلُكَ اَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلى مُحَمَّد وَآلِ مُحَمَّد وَاْنَ تُعْتِقَ رَقَبَتي مِنَ النّارِ وَاَنْ تُخْرِجَني مِنَ الدُّنْيا سالِماً وَتُدْخِلَنِي الْجَنَّةَ آمِناً وَاَنْ تَجْعَلَ دُعآئي اَوَّلَهُ فَلاحاً وَاَوْسَطَهُ نَجاحاً وَآخِرَهُ صَلاحاً اِنَّكََ أنْتَ عَلاّمُ الْغُيُوبِ .

(11) (then) Recite :

[ Imam Ali Al-Murtaza (A.S.) had advised his followers to recite the following dua�as after every obligatory Namaaz]
(i)    O He whom hearing of one sound does not render inattentive to the other, O He whom supplicants (how many they may be) do not confuse or disturb, O He whom clamorous determined pleading of petitioners do not upset; let me cultivate the good taste of enjoying the calm and quiet, only Thy favours make possible; the gentleness and unselfishness Thy kindness and indulgence develop (in me).

يا مَنْ لا يَشْغَلُهُ سَمْعٌ عن سمع وَيا مَنْ لا يُغَلِّطُهُ السّائِلُونَ وَيا مَنْ لا يُبْرِمُهُ اِلْحاحُ المُلِحِّينَ اَذِقْني بَرْدَ عَفْوِكَ وَحَلاوَةَ رَحْمَتِكَ وَمَغْفِرَتِكَ

(ii)

My Allah, the Salaat (Namaaz) I have just prayed, was not to put forth  any demand before Thee, nor was there any self-seeking desire to reach Thee through it. It was nothing but praise, obedience and surrender unto Thee, in order to carry out that which Thou has commanded. My Allah, If there was a break of continuity (disturbance of mind) or shortcoming, while making  the intention, or standing, while bowing down, or prostrating in adoration, do not catch hold of me, (but) have the kindness of bestowing a favour on me, by affording me through Thy mercy absolution and acceptance, O the Most Merciful.

اِلـهي هذه صَلاتي صَلَّيْتُها لا لحاجَة منْكَ اليْها وَلا رَغْبَة مِنْكَ فيها اِلاّ تَعْظيماً وَطاعَةً وَاِجابَةً لَكَ اِلى ما اَمَرْتَني بِهِ الـهي اِنْ كانَ فيها خَلَلٌ اَوْ نَقْصٌ مِنْ رُكُوعِها أوْ سُجُودِها فَلا تؤاخذني وَتَفَضَّلْ عَلَيَّ بِالْقَبُولِ وَالْغُفْرانِ .

(iii) The following dua�a was taught by the Holy Prophet (S.A.) to Imam Ali (A.S.), to be recited after every obligatory Salaat, for developing a flawless memory:

Glory be to Him who does not treat the citizens of His Kingdom unjustly and harshly, Glory be to Him who does not let torment and pain come suddenly upon mankind, Glory be to the Compassionate, the Merciful. O Allah fill my heart and mind with true enlightenment, discerning intelligence, quick understanding and knowledge, Verily Thou art able to do all things.

سُبْحانَ مَنْ لا يَعْتَدي عَلى أهْلِ مَمْلَكَتِهِ سُبْحانَ مَنْ لا يَأخُذُ اَهْلَ الاَْرْضِ بأَلْوانِ الْعَذابِ سُبْحانَ الرَّؤوُفِ الرَّحيمِ اَللّـهُمَّ اْجَعلْ لي في قَلْبى نُوراً وَبَصَراً وَفَهْماً وَعِلْماً اِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَي قَديرٌ .

(12) In �Misbah of Kafa�amee� it is written that the following dua�a may be recited after every obligatory Salaat :

Long for Thy protection my Nafs (soul), my belief, my family, my possessions, my children and my brother�s-in-faith, and that which Thou, my Lord gives me as means of livelihood, and my deeds that have been done, and whoso makes know and refers to his cause and case in the name of Allah, and no other, the Single, the Independent Everlasting, (who) begets not, nor was begotten, and there is none like (comparable) unto Him; (in the name of) the Lord of daybreak, from the evil of that which He has created; from the evil of the darkness when it is intense, and from the evil of the malignant witchcraft, and from the evil of the envier when he envies. (in the name of) the Lord of mankind, the King of mankind, the God of mankind, from the evil of the sneaking whisperer, who whispers in the hearts of people, (be he) from among the jinn and mankind

اُعيذُ نَفْسي وَديني وَاَهْلي وَمالي وَوَلَدي وَاِخْواني في ديني وَما رَزَقَني رَبِّي وَخَواتيمَ عَمَلي وَمَنْ يَعْنيني اَمْرُهُ بِاللهِ الْواحِدِ الاَحَدِ الصَّمَدِ الَّذي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفواً اَحَدٌ وَبِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ مِنْ شَرِّ ما خَلَقَ وَمِنْ شَرِّ غاسِق اِذا وَقَبَ وَمِنْ شَرِّ النَّفّاثاتِ فِي الْعُقَدْ وَمِنْ شَرِّ حاسِد اِذا حَسَدَ وَبِرَبِّ النّاسِ مَلِكِ النّاسِ إلـهِ النّاسِ مِنْ شَرِّ الْوَسْواسِ الْخَنّاسِ الَّذى يُوَسْوِسُ في صُدُورِ النّاسِ مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنّاسِ .

(13) Recite the following dua�a after every obligatory prayer:

It is reported that the Holy Prophet (S.A.) had said that if one wants to keep hidden (forgiven) his faults and mistakes, committed in this world, on the Day of Judgment, he should recite the following dua�a after every obligatory prayer:
My Allah, indeed, Thy indulgence is more to be hoped for than    my deeds; certainly Thy mercy is more deep and far-reaching   compared to my faults and mistakes. My Allah if my errors, in the matter of Thy laws, are grave in nature, Thy pardon is more substantial and well-known than my transgressions. If not obscured the befitting (praise), that eloquently describes Thy Mercy to perfection, it is because Thy Mercy is most (praise) worthy, (which) obtains and speeds up plenty of opportunities for me in everything, through Thy kindness O the Most Merciful.

اَللّـهُمَّ إنَّ مَغْفِرَتَكَ اَرْجى مِنْ عَمَلى وَاِنَّ رَحْمَتِكَ أوْسَعُ مِنْ ذَنْبي اَللّـهُمَّ إن كانَ ذَنبي عِنْدَكَ عَظيماً فَعَفْوُكَ اَعْظَمُ مِنْ ذَنْبي اَللّـهُمَّ إنْ لَمْ اَكُنْ أهْلاً أنْ اَبْلُغَ رَحْمَتُكَ فرحمتك اَهْلٌ اَنْ تَبْلُغَني وَتَسَعَني لاَِنَّها وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَيْء بِرَحْمَتِكَ يا اَرْحَمَ الرّاحِمينَ .
