The following is narrated based on documents on the authority of my grandfather Abu Ja‟far al-Tusi – may God have Mercy on him – as narrated on the authority of As-Sadiq (as), on the authority of his father (as), on the authority of his grandfather (as), on the authority of Ali (as), “Ali (as) liked to have some spare time and spend four nights each year to do acts of worship.” These four nights are as follows: the first night of the month of Rajab, the first night of the middle of Sha‟ban, the night of the Eid ul-Fitr Festival and the night of the Eid ul-Azha.
The intention from staying up at night and doing acts of worship acts is to completely direct all your moves and actions to the Almighty God with the intention of nearness to God. You should act as if you are in the presence of your Master and your Master sees you. Thus, if there are some especaial deeds for that night you should act based on that. However, if it does not have a special worship act, or a special worship act had been quoted for a portion of that night, then spend the rest of that night with asking for forgiveness and correcting your relationship with the Almighty God by cleaning the heart, rubbing off the darkness that has resulted from insisting on sin, saying God‟s remembrances and other affairs that you need for gaining the prosperity of this world and the eternal home of the Hereafter. And if you became sleepy, sleep with the intention of nearness to God so that you may gain energy and wake up to turn to God later. And if you act this way you may be able to perform the worshipping acts on that night.
The night of Eid Ul Adha is one of the blessed nights. Many narrations have referred to the great merits and rewards of those who spend this night, as a whole, with acts of worship. Moreover, some narrations have mentioned that this night is not less blessed than the Qadr Night. The devotional acts at this night are as follows:
It is recommended to spend the whole night with offering prayers, supplicating, imploring for forgiveness, and staying at mosques.Holy Prophet (s): Allah (swt) pours down good (al-khyayr) in abundance on 4 nights: Night of [Eid) al-Adhaa, [Eid] al-Fitr, . . (Muhammad al-Ray Shahri, Shahrullah fil-kitaab wal-sunnah, p. 495, H. 767 taken from Kanzul ‘ummal, 12, 322, H. 35215) Imam Ali (a): If you can preserve [the importance] of Nights of Fitr and Nahr . . . then do so; say a lot of supplications, prayers and recitation of the Qur’an. (Ibid, p. 496, H. 769 taken from Misbah al-tahajjud, p 852 from Harith b. ‘Abdullah) Imam al-Sadiq (a): He who visits the grave of al-Husayn (a) on three nights ( Eid Fitr/Eid Adha/15 Shaban), Allah forgives his past and future sins. Holy Prophet (s): He who keeps awake on the Nights of Two Eids (i.e. al-Fitr & al-Adhaa) expecting reward from Allah (muhtasiban lillah), his heart would not die on the day when hearts [of others] die (Ibid. H. 784 taken from Sunan ibn Maajah 1, 567, 1782).
It is recommended to sacrifice an animal ( as per conditions) and have beakfast after offering Salat al-Eid and it is recommended to eat from the meat of the sacrificed animals.
Signifcance -Ponder
We briefly remind you of the points which God has kindly favored us with. O‟ man! Remember that you were favored by God before you recognized Him and before you sought nearness to Him with doing acts of worship. It was God who took care of your important needs. He sent His Messenger - who is His most honorable creature - towards you to destroy atheist kings and to destroy the wicked ones who were an obstacle between you and your benefitting from Divine secrets, and served as means of entertaining you with other things.
The Messenger of God extinguished the fire of the unbelievers, and subdued the Jewish and the Christian kings and the deviated ones. God did not give you the duty of waging a holy war in His Way, tolerating danger and loss as the Master of the Messengers and his especial pure family tolerated. Thus, do not forget God‟s favor to you for keeping you safe from these frightening calamities and making you succeed in attaining your wishes, doing the best deeds and turning to God.
Look at this with insight and remember all the martyrs who became martyred for your guidance and the towns and villages that were ruined and the previous nations which were destroyed.
Then remember how the Almighty God declared His Secrets on the Festival and showed His Rays of Light in this happy time - Secrets which had been hidden from the previous nations and the previous generations and He made you worthy of seeing His Greatness and Beauty, talking and praising without any mediator.
Were these favors due to the goodness of your genes or flesh and blood? Were you not just a weak creature or a tiny baby at that time? Did you play any role in devising these affairs? May God have mercy upon you! Be an obedient worshipper, act upon advice and listen to the sayings of your Owner who has set you out in these ways and has protected you from destructive affairs.
I swear by God that despite the healthiness of your intellect and the virtues which God has granted you - and you suppose that it belongs to your virtues - it is ugly for you to pretend to be blind or become blind and not see these favors that are much more superior to the intellect.
It is not proper for you to engage in other things or give a higher priority to other things. Thus, you should welcome the guidance of the Almighty God on the Festival with exalting and praising Him, establishing the rights of His Promises and with being afraid of the Divine torture.
You should be happy due to the greatness of the Merciful the Almighty God, your humbleness, and the threats and dangers which face you in this world. You have been travelling in the loins and in the wombs for many years safely and have now reached here. You are now receiving Mercy and Kindness in this party of God and are secure from fears.
It would be astonishing if you are not aware of the extent of the favors of the Almighty God to you considering all the good things that He has granted you. Thus, start to do what He has asked you since God has taken care of all your major fears. He will also take care of you in the future with the same kindness with which He deals with all His Servants and Worshippers.
Section 12 Iqbal On What is Best to End the Azha Festival (Eid al-Azha) with
We have reported how to end the deeds on several very important days before. Thus, you may refer to them and act accordingly if you wish. In addition to the above-mentioned cases, note the following. The Almighty God has allocated all the times to His worshipping. He has also let them be as place of spreading the tablecloth of His Mercy and granting His Blessings to those who ask and those who do not ask. Thus, if man spends some of his spare times in doing things other than worshipping God and requesting Prosperity from God, he has stolen that amount of time from his Master and has violated God's Reverence. He would not have attained God's Pleasure and quarrelled with His Wish and has exposed himself to God's Punishment that no one can bear. Whose heart who is acquainted with the rank of God - who is the Owner of all of the worshippers -would act in disobedience to Him? Thus, whoever performs acts that are against God's Sanctity on Eid ul-Azha is sure to suffer on that day and deserves to suffer great grief for violating the sanctity of God – who is the owner of the affair of all the living and the dead. This is also transgressing the reverence of His Messenger and his Caliphs (as) who have brought the Islamic decrees and losing the Divine Blessings.
Thus you should pay attention and see which of the Divine Leaders (as) is your supporter, helper and host on this day as explained in the book Jamal Al-Usbu’ Bikamal Al-Amal Al-Mashru’ where we said that the Noble Prophet (as) and each one of the Divine Leaders (as) are the supporters and hosts of especial days. Then you should present your case to him and ask him to compensate for its shortcomings as it is expected of any host.

Section 8 The Nobility of Offering Sacrifice
The following is narrated based on documents on the authority of Muhammad ibn Muslim, on the authority of Abi Ja‟far As-Sadiq (as), “It is strongly recommend to offer a sacrifice for whoever can do so whether he is a child or an adult. This is a tradition.”
The following is narrated based on documents on the authority of Ala ibn Fuzayl, on the authority of Abi Abdullah (as), “Someone asked him (as) about the offering. He (as) replied, "It is obligatory for all Muslims unless they cannot afford it.” Then the man asked, “What about for the wife?” He (as) replied, “Do so if you can but do not abandon it for yourself.”
The following was reported by Muhammad ibn Babuyih, “Umma Salma – may God be pleased with her – went to the Prophet (as) and said, „Should I borrow money to pay for sacrifice?‟ He (as) replied, „Yes you may since the money you borrow for sacrifice shall be repaid.‟”
Slaughtering an animal (qurbani) in other places is emphasized practice (sunnat-e-muwakkida). If the animal of sacrifice is camel or cow, it must be a female. If it is a ram or a goat it must be male. The camel should have entered its sixth year. In cow and goat the precaution is that it should have entered the third year. Sheep must have entered the second year. The sacrificial animal must not have any damaged part. That it must not have a broken horn or cut ear. Sacrifice of castrated animal and ones raised as domestic animals, is detestable (makrooh). Once you buy the offering turn it towards the Qibla (the prayer direction) and start to slaughter it and say,
wajjahtu wajhiya lillazii fatarrassamawaati wal arzi haniifan musliman wamaa ana minal mushrikiin inna salaatii wanuskii wanagyaaya wananatii lillahi rabbil aalamin laa shariika lahu wabidhalika umirtu waana minal muslimiin. allahumma minka walaka bismillahi wabillahi wallahu akber. allahuma taqabbal minni, allahumma taqabbal minnii
kama taqabalta an ebrahima khaliilika wa musa kaliimika wa muhammadin habiibika sallallahu alihi waalihi waalaihim.
I turn my attention towards the One who has created the heavens and the earth as a true believer and a Muslim; and I am not among the polytheists, My prayer, hady, life and death are for Allah, the Sustainer of the worlds. He has no partner and so have I been ordered and I am of those who have submitted to You. O Allah all this is from and for You. I commence in the Name of Allah and Allah is great. O Allah! accept my devotions).
The following is narrated based on documents on the authority of Abu Ja‟far ibn Babuyih in his book Man La Yahzaruh Al-Faqih, God‟s Prophet (as) offered two sheep. Once he slaughtered one of them he said, “O' my God! This is my offering and that of any of my Progeny who does not make an offering.” He slaughtered the next one and said, “O' my God! This is my offering and that of any of my nation who does not make an offering.”
Muhammad ibn Babuyih said, “The Commander of the Faithful (as) made an offering along with the Prophet (as) each year. He slaughtered a sheep and said,
"In the Name of God, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful. "For me, I have set my face, firmly and truly, towards Him Who created the heavens and the earth, and never shall I give partners to Allah."Al-An‟am 6:79. "Truly, my prayer and my service of sacrifice, my life and my death, are (all) for Allah, the Cherisher of the Worlds:"Al-An'am 6:162
O' my God! This is from You and for You. Then he (as) said: "This is from Your Prophet (as)"
Then he (as) slaughtered another sheep for himself.
The following supplications at the time of slaughtering the offering are narrated based on documents to Muhammad ibn Yaqoub, on the authority of Safvan and Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr, on the authority of Abu Abdullah As-Sadiq (as),
"God is Great! God is Great! There is no God but God. And God is the Great. God is the Great.
Praise belongs to God. There is no god but God the Forebearing, the Generous! There is no god but God the Sublime the Supreme! There is no god but God - the true God, the One - and to Him we bow in Islam.
There is no god but God.
We do not worship anyone but Him even though the polytheists detest this! There is god but God - our Lord and the Lord of our forefathers.
There is no god but God, the One the Only who kept His Promise and helped His Servant, and granted esteem to His Army and left the other parties abandoned.
Sovereignty belongs to Him and Praise belongs to Him and He has Power over all things. Glory be to God as often as things glorify Him and as God likes to be glorified and as it suits the benevolence of His Face and the honor of His Might. God is Great as often as things exalt Him and as God likes to be exalted and as it suits the benevolence of His Face and the honor of His Might.
Praise be to God as often as things praise Him and as God likes to be praised and as it suits the benevolence of His Face and the honor of His Might. And there is no God but God as often as things express His Greatness and as God likes to be exalted and as it suits the benevolence of His Face and the honor of His Might.
And Glory be to God and Praise be to Him as many as the number of even and odd, as many in number as there are blessings which God bestowed upon me, and to everyone of His Creatures – who existed before and who shall come until the Resurrection Day. I place myself, my religion, my hearing, my sight, my body, all my organs, what the earth carries of me, my family, wealth, children and my parts, all I care for and all You have provided for me and all under my custody under Your Protection! O‟ God! "There is no God but He,-the Living, the Self-Subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him nor sleep. His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede in His presence except as He permitteth? He knoweth what (appeareth to His creatures as) before or after or behind them. Nor shall they compass aught of His knowledge except as He willeth. His Throne doth extend over the heavens and the earth, and He feeleth no fatigue in guarding and preserving them for He is the Most High, the Supreme (in glory). " Baqara 2:255 "Say: 'If the ocean were ink (wherewith to write out) the words of my Lord, sooner would the ocean be exhausted than would the words of my Lord, even if we added another ocean like it, for its aid. '"Al-Kahaf 18:109 "Say: 'I am but a man like yourselves, (but) the inspiration has come to me, that your Allah is one Allah. whoever expects to meet his Lord, let him work righteousness, and, in the worship of his Lord, admit no one as partner. '"Al-Kahaf 18:110 "By those who range themselves in ranks, and so are strong in repelling (evil), and thus proclaim the Message (of Allah. ! Verily, verily, your Allah is one!- Lord of the heavens and of the earth and all between them, and Lord of every point at the rising of the sun! We have indeed decked the lower heaven with beauty (in) the stars,- (For beauty) and for guard against all obstinate rebellious evil spirits, (So) they should not strain their ears in the direction of the Exalted Assembly but be cast away from every side, Repulsed, for they are under a perpetual penalty, Except such as snatch away something by stealth, and they are pursued by a flaming fire, of piercing brightness. Just ask their opinion: are they the more difficult to create, or the (other) beings We have created? Them have We created out of a sticky clay!"1 "Glory be to Your Lord, the Lord of Honour and Power! (He is free) from what they ascribe (to Him)! And Peace on the apostles! And Praise to God!, the Lord and Cherisher of the Worlds. "2 "O' ye assembly of Jinns and men! If it be ye can pass beyond the zones of the heavens and the earth, pass ye! not without authority shall ye be able to pass! Then which of the favors of your Lord will ye deny? On you will be sent (O' ye evil ones twain!) a flame of fire (to burn) and a smoke (to choke): no defence will ye have: Then which of the favors of your Lord will ye deny?"3 "Had We sent down this Qur'an on a mountain, verily, thou wouldst have seen it humble itself and cleave asunder for fear of Allah. Such are the similitudes which We propound to men, that they may reflect. Allah is He, than Whom there is no other god;- the Sovereign, the Holy One, the Source of Peace (and Perfection), the Guardian of Faith, the Preserver of Safety, the Exalted in Might, the Irresistible, the Supreme: Glory be to God!. (High is He) above the partners they attribute to Him. He is Allah, the Creator, the Evolver, the Bestower of Forms. To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names: whatever is in the heavens and on earth, doth declare His Praises and Glory: and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise. "4 Say "He is Allah, the One and Only Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him. "5 "In the Name of God, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful. Say: I take refuge with the Lord of the Dawn; From the mischief of created things; From the mischief of Darkness as it overspreads; From the mischief of those who practise secret arts; And from the mischief of the envious one as he practises envy.

You are the Light of the heavens and the earth! You are the Brightness of the heavens and the earth. You are the Ruler of the heavens and the earth. You are the Self-Subsisting of the heavens and the earth! You are the Lord of Might, Nobility, Grandeur, Magnificence and Power over Your Creatures! O' my God! Indeed I ask You by the totality of Your Names. O' God! O' God! O' God! There is no God but You! O' God! I ask You by Your Names. O' the Eternal! O' Almighty! O' the Enduring! O' the One! O' the Odd!

And truly traveling to You is short in duration, the supplications of one who is travelling to You is not blocked off from Your Hearing.

And I depend on You for my rescue, and I plea to You by praying, doing this while knowing that I do not deserve Your Listening to me and I do not deserve to be Pardoned by You.
I take refuge in You for not obeying You, avoiding acts of Your Disobedience due to Your Admonition but because of hoping in Your Oneness and because of recognition of You knowing that I have no Lord but You. There is no Power or Aid available except from You. O' my God! O' my Master! You yourself have said to Your Servants, “… Despair not of the Mercy of Allah. for Allah forgives
all sins: for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. ”1 You have repeated Your Advice so that they understand and said, "and who can forgive sins except Allah. ”2 Then please have mercy upon us out of Your Mercy - O' the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful. Please remove my troubles and answer my crying to You for indeed You are the All-Hearing All-Knowing.
