The holy month of Ramadan
Salaah for Every Night



In the margin of al-Balad al-Amin, al-Kaf`ami has reported on the authority of Sayyid Ibn Baqi that it is recommended to offer a two unit prayer every night in Ramadan,
Offer 2 units (rakaah) of prayer reciting in each unit Surah al-Fatihah once and repeating Surah al-Tawhid three times. After accomplishment, it is recommended to say the following dua / litany:

سُبْحَانَ مَنْ هُوَ حَفِيظٌ لاَ يَغْفُلُ
subhana man huwa hafizun la yaghfulu
Glory be to Him Who watches over, never leaves anything undone, or is neglectful.

سُبْحَانَ مَنْ هُوَ رَحِيمٌ لاَ يَعْجَلُ
subhana man huwa rahimun la ya`jalu
Glory be to Him Who is Merciful, never does a thing in haste.

سُبْحَانَ مَنْ هُوَ قَائِمٌ لاَ يَسْهُو
subhana man huwa qa'imun la yas-hu
Glory be to Him Who is vigilant, never forgets one thing over another.

سُبْحَانَ مَنْ هُوَ دَائِمٌ لاَ يَلْهُو
subhana man huwa da'imun la yalhu
Glory be to Him Who is alert and steady, never is engrossed with a thing so as to overlook another.


After that, it is recommended to say the al-Tasbihat al-Arba`ah:


سُبْحَانَ ٱللَّهِ
subhana allahi
All glory be to Allah,

وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ
walhamdu lillahi
all praise be to Allah,

وَلاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ ٱللَّهُ
wa la ilaha illa allahu
there is no god save Allah,

وَٱللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ
wallahu akbaru
and Allah is the Greatest.


Then, it is recommended to say the following imploration for forgiveness:

سُبْحَانَكَ سُبْحَانَكَ سُبْحَانَكَ!
subhanaka subhanaka subhanaka!
Glory be to You! Glory be to You! Glory be to You!

يَا عَظِيمُ ٱغْفِرْ لِيَ ٱلذَّنْبَ ٱلْعَظِيمَ
ya `azimu ighfir liya aldhdhanba al`azima
O All-great, forgive my grave sins.


Then, it is recommended to invoke blessings upon the Holy Prophet and his Household ten times:

اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَىٰ آلِهِ
allahumma salli `ala muhammadin wa `ala alihi
O Allah, (please do) send blessings to Muhammad and upon his Household.


Almighty Allah will forgive seventy thousand sins of those who offer this prayer
