Signifance of Friday
After Friday Salaat-ul Fajr
It has been narrated that one who, after the the Dawn Prayer on Fridays, does devotional acts and says supplications and invocations until sunrise, will be raised seventy ranks to the Supreme Paradise.
In the first unit of the Dawn Prayer, it is recommended to recite Surah al-Jumu`ah (No. 62) and, in the second unit, Surah al-Tawhid (No. 112).
5. Before opening the mouth with any word, it is recommended to say the following prayer after the Dawn (Fajr) Prayer so that all sins committed throughout the week will be forgiven:

اَللَّهُمَّ مَا قُلْتُ فِي جُمُعَتِي هٰذِهِ مِنْ قَوْلٍ
allahumma ma qultu fi jumu`ati hadhihi min qawlin
O Allah, whatever saying I have uttered this week,

أَوْ حَلَفْتُ فِيهَا مِنْ حَلْفٍ
aw halaftu fiha min halfin
whatever oath I have taken during it,

أَوْ نَذَرْتُ فِيهَا مِنْ نَذْرٍ
aw nadhartu fiha min nadhrin
and whatever vow I have made during it,

فَمَشِيَّتُكَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ ذٰلِكَ كُلِّهِ
famashiyyatuka bayna yaday dhalika kullihi
verily, it is Your will that is before all that.

فَمَا شِئْتَ مِنْهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ كَانَ
fama shi'ta minhu an yakuna kana
Hence, only that which You will to have effect will come to pass

وَمَا لَمْ تَشَأْ مِنْهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ
wa ma lam tasha' minhu lam yakun
and whatever You do not will to have effect will never come to pass.

اَللَّهُمَّ ٱغْفِرْ لِي وَتَجَاوَزْ عَنِّي
allahumma ighfir li wa tajawaz `anni
O Allah, (please) forgive me and overlook my offenses.

اَللَّهُمَّ مَنْ صَلَّيْتَ عَلَيْهِ فَصَلاَتِي عَلَيْهِ
allahumma man sallayta `alayhi fasalati `alayhi
O Allah, whosoever You bless, then I invoke Your blessings upon him

وَمَنْ لَعَنْتَ فَلَعْنَتِي عَلَيْهِ
wa man la`anta fala`nati `alayhi
and whosoever You curse, then I invoke Your curse upon him.

This act should be done once a month at least.
6.Shaykh al-Tusi has recorded that it is highly recommended to say the following prayer after the Dawn Prayer on Fridays:
اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي تَعَمَّدْتُ إِلَيْكَ بِحَاجَتِي
allahumma inni ta`ammadtu ilayka bihajati
O Allah, I am resorting to You with my needs,

وَ أَنْزَلْتُ إِلَيْكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ فَقْرِي
wa anzaltu ilayka alyawma faqri
and I am putting in Your presence my poverty,

وَفَاقَتِي وَمَسْكَنَتِي
wa faqati wa maskanati
my indigence, and my deprivation.

فَأَنَا لِمَغْفِرَتِكَ أَرْجىٰ مِنِّي لِعَمَلِي
fa-ana limaghfiratika arja minni li`amali
Verily, I hope for Your forgiveness more than I rely on my deeds.

وَلَمَغْفِرَتُكَ وَرَحْمَتُكَ أَوْسَعُ مِنْ ذُنُوبِي
wa lamaghfiratuka wa rahmatuka awsa`u min dhunubi
Indeed, Your forgiveness and Your mercy are more inclusive than my sins are.

فَتَوَلَّ قَضَاءَ كُلِّ حَاجَةٍ لِي بِقُدْرَتِكَ عَلَيْهَا
fatawalla qada'a kulli hajatin li biqudratika `alayha
So, (please) embark on settling all my needs out of Your power over them,

وَتَيسِيرِ ذٰلِكَ عَلَيْكَ
wa taysiri dhalika `alayka
out of the easiness for You to do that,

وَلِفَقْرِي إِلَيْكَ
wa lifaqri ilayka
and out of my urgent need for that.

فَإنِّي لَمْ أُصِبْ خَيْراً قَطُّ إِلاَّ مِنَكَ
fa'inni lam usib khayran qattu illa minka
Verily, I have not gained any good thing save from You

وَلَمْ يَصْرِفْ عَنِّي سُوءاً قَطُّ أَحَدٌ سِوَاكَ
wa lam yasrif `anni su'an qattu ahadun siwaka
and none could ever repel evil from me save You.

وَلَسْتُ أَرْجُو لآِخِرَتِي وَدُنْيَايَ
wa lastu arju li-akhirati wa dunyaya wa
I hope for none to stand for me in my affairs of this world and the Next World

وَلاَ لِيَوْمِ فَقْرِي
la liyawmi faqri
and on the day of my poverty,

يَوْمَ يُفْرِدُنِي ٱلنَاسُ فِي حُفْرَتِي
yawma yufriduni alnnasu fi hufrati
when people will leave me alone in my hole (i.e. grave)

وَأُفْضي إِلَيْكَ بِذَنْبِي سِوَاكَ
wa ufdi ilayka bidhanbi siwaka
and I will then confess of my sins before You, except You.

General Recommended Acts for the Day of Friday -Tabs |

i.It is highly recommended to bathe oneself, ie, to do Ghusl. In fact, this is one of the most confirmed rituals of Fridays. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings upon him and his family) is reported to have instructed Imam `Ali (peace be upon him) by saying, “O `Ali; wash yourself every Friday even if you have to purchase water with your daily provisions and have nothing to eat. Verily, no voluntary act is better than this.” Imam al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) is also reported to have said: Whoever washes himself on Fridays and, says the following prayer will be pure all through that week:
أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ ٱللَّهُ
ash-hadu an la ilaha illa allahu
I bear witness that there is no god except Allah,

وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَريكَ لَهُ
wahdahu la sharika lahu
the One, (there is) no associate with Him;

وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ
wa ash-hadu anna muhammadan `abduhu wa rasuluhu
and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and His Messenger.

اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
allahumma salli `ala muhammadin wa ali muhammadin waj`alni mina alttawwabina
O Allah, send blessings to Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad,

وَٱجْعَلْنِي مِنَ ٱلتَّوَّابِينَ
waj`alni mina almutatahhirina
and make me of those who turn to You constantly

وَٱجْعَلْنِي مِنَ ٱلْمُتَطَهِّرِينَ
ash-hadu an la ilaha illa allahu
and those who keep themselves pure and clean.

“Pure” in the aforesaid Hadith stands for purification from sins or acceptance of the deeds, which is thus moral purification.
In any case, it is important not to neglect bathing oneself on Fridays when possible. The recommended time of this bathing is between sunrise and midday. In addition, the nearer to midday the better.
Another Dua after Ghusl :Imam Reza (a.s.) narrates:
“Performing ghusl on Friday is desirable which is equal to an obligation. Do not avoid it while you are at home or on a journey. It is enough to perform after sunrise but it is better if it is nearer to noon. Recite this supplication after performing ghusl.”
اَللّٰهُمَّ طَهِّرْنِيْ وَ طَهِّرْ قَلْبِيْ وَ انْقِ غُسْلِيْ وَ اَجْرِ عَلٰى لِسَانِيْ ذِكْرَكَ وَ ذِكْرَ نَبِيِّكَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ اٰلِہٖ وَ اجْعَلْنِيْ مِنَ التَّوَّابِيْنَ وَ مِنَ الْمُتَطَهِّرِيْنَ.
allaahumma tahhirnee wa tahhir qalbee wan qe ghuslee wa ajre a’laa lesaanee zikraka wa zikra nabiyyeka mohammadin sallal laaho a’layhe wa aalehi waj a’lnee menat tawwaabeena wa menal motatahhereen.
O Allah! Purify me and purify my heart, adorn my bath, and make Your remembrance and remembrance of Your prophet Muhammad, peace of Allah be on him and his progeny, flow on my tongue. Make me amongst the repantent and the purified ones.


If anyone forgets to perform ghusl on Friday. Some maraje permit to take it from Fajr till the time of Asr next day

The Salwaat-Invocation of blessings upon the Holy Prophet and his Household 1000 times and in different formats has been highly recommended for Friday.
Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (peace be upon him) is reported to have said, “For me, no act of worship is more favorable than invoking blessings upon the Prophet and his immaculate Household—may Allah bless them all—on Fridays.” If there is not enough time to repeat this invocation one thousand times, it must be repeated one hundred times at least so that faces will be brightened on the Judgment Day.

It has been also narrated that to invoke blessings upon the Holy Prophet and his household is equal (in reward) to seventy times of going on Hajj. & that all sins will be totally forgiven for those who repeat invocations of blessings upon the Holy Prophet and his Household one hundred times.
اَللّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ صَلَواتِكَ وَصَلَوَاتِ مَلَاْئِكَتِكَ وَرُسُلِكَ وَجَمِيعِ خَلْقِكَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وأَهْلِ بَيْتِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِ وَعَليْهِمُ السَّلَامُ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ.
Imām Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sādiq (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) said:
“On Judgment Day, Allāh the Almighty shall raise the days, and Friday shall be raised as leader of all of them like a bride, possessing all perfections and beauty, presented to the owner of religion and wealth. It shall stop at the door of Paradise with other days behind it, and will intercede for all those who sent more blessings on Hazrat Muhammad (صَلَّى ٱللَّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ‎) and his holy progeny (عليهم السلام) in it.”
Ibne Sinan (narrator) says, ‘I said, How much is considered as more in it? And in which times of Friday is it best to send blessings and salutations?’
Imām (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) said, ‘Hundred times. And the best time is after Asr.’ He asked, ‘And how should I say it?’ Imām ( عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام ) replied, ‘Say a hundred times:
اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَّآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَّعَجِّلْ فَرَجَهُمْ
O Allāh, bless Muhammad and the progeny of Muhammad and hasten their reappearance.
[Reference: Mikyal al-Makarim Fi Fawa'id al-Du'a Li'l Qai’m vol. 2; Part 6, point 13]

ii.It is recommended to cut the mustache neatly and trim the nails, As has been mentioned in narrations, these acts bring about expansion in sustenance, and security from insanity and leprosy. Whilst doing that, say the following :
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِوَبِٱللَّهِ
bismillahi wa billahi
In the Name of Allah (I begin);and by (the command of) Allah

وَعَلَىٰ سُنَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
wa `ala sunnati muhammadin wa ali muhammad
and according to the tradition of Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad (I do this).

It is also recommended, on cutting the nails, to start with the little finger of the left hand and end with that of the right hand. The same thing is applicable to the nails of the feet. Then, the cut nails should be buried.

iii.It is recommended to apply perfume and put on the best of one’s clothes.

iv.It is recommended to give Sadqa/Alms, for the rewards are doubled up on Fridays and at Friday nights, as is confirmed by narrations, as one thousand folds as giving alms on other days.

v.It is recommended to arrange fruits and wholesome meals to the family members so that Fridays will be their days of pleasure.

vi.It is recommended to eat pomegranate before breakfast and to eat seven leaves of endive before midday. Imam Musa al-Kadhim (peace be upon him) is reported to have said, “The heart of him who eats a pomegranate before breakfast on Fridays will be enlightened for forty days. To eat two pomegranates increases the period of enlightenment to eighty days, and so on. It also dismisses the evil suggestions. Of course, to get rid of Satan’s suggestions is to stop acting disobediently to Almighty Allah; and to stop acting disobediently to Him allows entrance to Paradise.” In al-Misbah, the author has said that to eat pomegranates on Fridays and at Friday nights has great merits.
vii.It is recommended to dedicate Fridays to learning the religious laws and instructions, not to wandering in others’ gardens, accompanying the vicious and the licentious, speaking about the others’ defects, laughing and guffawing, reciting poetry, and discussing useless subjects as well as similar matters. Disadvantages arisen from such matters are too many to be mentioned.
Imam Ja`far al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) is reported as saying, “Woe to a Muslim who does not dedicate Fridays to learning the affairs of his religion.”

viii.It is recommended to visit the tombs of one’s relatives in general and parents in particular. Imam al-Baqir (peace be upon him) is reported as saying, “Visit the graves of your relatives on Fridays, for they know about those who visit their graves and will be happy for that.”
ix.It is recommended to dye hair with hibiscus, for it saves from leprosy and insanity.

x.Aga Mohinuddin kumaili khurasani in NijatBaksh Giraftaran says that Allah(swt) himself will take care of the person & his family ( like a weekly insurance)if we recites after any salat Fajr/Dhuhr ON FRIDAY the following; Sura Fatiha & Sura Tauheed once & then Sura Falaq & Sura Naas 7 times each

xi.SURAHS It is also highly recommended to recite Surahs al-Nisa' (No. 4)
Surah Hud (No. 11)
al-Kahf (No.18)
al-Saffat (No. 37)
al-Rahman (No. 55
Surah al-Ahqaf (No. 46
Surah al-Mu'minun (No. 23)
xii.Imam al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) is reported as saying that any one who recites Surah al-Ahqaf at Friday nights or on Fridays will not be inflicted by dismays in his worldly life and will be saved from the horrors on the Resurrection Day,
and that any one who recites Surah al-Mu'minun regularly each Friday will come upon a happy end and will be granted an abode in the Supreme Paradise with the Prophets and Messengers of Almighty Allah.

Friday - Day Associated with the Awaited Saviour, Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him)
Friday has a relationship with Imam al-Mahdi —may Allah hasten his advent— from several aspects. On Friday, Imam al-Mahdi (peace be upon him) was born and on Friday, his delightful advent shall be. Hence, to expect Relief on Friday should be more intense than other days.
In the Imam's (peace be upon him) Ziyarat on Fridays the following statement is mentioned; 'Today is Friday, which is your day on which your advent is expected to bring about relief to the believers at your hands..'
In fact, Friday has been decided as feast day just because it is the day on which Imam al-Mahdi (peace be upon him) will reappear in order to purify the entire earth from the filth of polytheism and atheism and from the dirt of acts of disobedience to Almighty Allah and from sins.

Friday and Imam Zamana from Najmuth Saqib
It is having a special significance with regard to Imam Zamana (a.s.). One of them being that the birth of the Holy Imam (a.s.) occurred on that day and also that his reappearance will also take place on Friday; therefore, awaiting and anticipation on that day is more than on other days as is explained in some traditional reports and in it is mentioned in Ziyarat of the Imam specially performed on Friday that: O Master, O Lord of the time, benedictions of God be on you, and on your family members on this Friday and it is the day on which I anticipate your reappearance and victory in it for the believer upon your hands…till the end when it is said:
O my Lord, O the master of the age, blessings of the Almighty Allah be on you, and on your family members; this is Friday and it is the day on which you await your reappearance and the deliverance of the believers at your hands.
And I O my master, on that day, am your guest and I seek refuge with you and you, O my master, are the noble one and the descendant of the great ones and you are appointed to afford refuge; thus accept me in your care and give me refuge…and so on.
On the contrary, considering Friday to be a day of Eid from the four important Eid days in fact from the aspect that it is a special day for the believers as they will be elated on seeing the earth purified from the filth of polytheism and infidelity and the dirts of divine disobedience and from the presence of the tyrants, apostates, disbelievers and hypocrites and the appearance of the word of truth, the loftiest religion, laws of faith and the emblems of Muslims without any hurdle and prohibition of anyone from the enemies of the Almighty Allah and his devotees on that bright day will be pleased and elated.
In the supplication after the rising of the Sun on Friday there is hint to this point as Sayyid Ibne Taaoos has mentioned in Jamaalul Usboo’1 , p. 152 from Imam Moosa Kazim (a.s.) that he said to Muhammad bin Sinan on Friday:
Have you recited the necessary supplication this day? He replied: asked: Which supplication? He replied: Say:
Peace be on you, O the new blessed day which the Almighty Allah has made as the Eid for His friends, who are purified from the filths and who have exited from mischief and those, who have returned with His Awliya (a.s.) and who are cleaned of pains and the filths of beliefs and evil deeds, who have devoted their lives to the love of the friends of the Almighty Allah.
Then turn towards the Sun and say:
“Peace be on you O the brilliant Sun.” and so on. On the contrary, Friday is one of the names of the master of the affair or it is an allusion to that noble man or the reason of naming Friday as Friday
as Saduq in Khesaal p. 396 has narrated from Saqar bin Abi Dalf.
Imam Ali Naqi (a.s.) says in the exegesis of the tradition of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) that you must not be inimical to the days, as they will also be inimical to you. Then he said: We are the days… Till he said: And Friday is the son of my son and the folks of truth will gather with him.
Saduq said: Days are not the Imams (a.s.); however it is an allusion to them so that other than the folks of truth do not understand its meaning asthe Almighty Allah has stated:
“I swear by the fig and the olive, And mount Sinai, And this city made secure,”95:1-3 implying the Prophet, Ali, Hasan and Husain (a.s.) and then He has mentioned some other similes also therein.
Husain bin Hamadan in his book has narrated from Hasan bin Masud and Muhammad bin Khalil that they said: We came to our master, Abul Hasan Ali bin Muhammad (a.s.) in Samarrah and found him with some Shia people. We asked the Imam regarding the auspicious and inauspicious days.
He replied: Do not be inimical to the days, lest they become inimical to you.
I asked the Imam about the meaning of this tradition.
He replied: There are two meanings of this tradition: outward and inward.
The outward meaning is that Saturday is for us, Sunday is for our Shia, Monday is for Bani Umayyah, Tuesday is for their followers; Wednesday is for Bani Abbas and Thursday is for their followers; and Friday is the Eid for Muslims. And the inward meaning is that Saturday is my grandfather, the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.), Sunday is Ameerul Momineen (a.s.), Monday is Hasan and Husain (a.s.), Tuesday is Ali bin Husain, Muhammad bin Ali and Ja’far bin Muhammad (a.s.); Wednesday is Moosa Ibne Ja’far, Ali bin Moosa and Muhammad bin Ali (a.s.) and I; and Thursday is my son, Hasan and Friday is his son; who will unite the words; that is the faiths. All will unite on a single faith and through it he will perfect the bounty and the Almighty Allah will prove and express the truth and destroy falsehood and he is your awaited Mahdi. Then he recited: “In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. What remains with Allah is better for you if you are believers, and I am not a keeper over you.”11:86
Then he said: He, by Allah, is the remnant of Allah.2Hidaayatul Kubraa, p. 363 Saduq (r.a.) writes in Khesaal:394 narrating from Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) that he said: Saturday is for us, Sunday is for our Shia, Monday is for our enemies, Tuesday is for Bani Umayyah, Wednesday is for taking medicine, Thursday is the day when wishes will be fulfilled and Friday is for hygiene and for use of perfumes and it is the Eid of Muslims and it is the superior to Eidul Fitr and Eidul Azha.
Day of Ghadeer is the best of the Eids and it is the 18th of Zilhajj and it was a Friday. The Qaaem of us Ahle Bayt (a.s.), will appear on Friday and the Judgment Day will be on Friday and no deeds is better on Friday, except reciting Salawat on Muhammad and Aale Muhammad (a.s.).
Allamah Majlisi has narrated in Behaarul Anwaarvol. 3, pp. 340-341 that from the ancient sources of our scholars: After you conclude the Morning Prayer on Friday, recite the following testimony and then recite Salawat on Muhammad and Aale Muhammad (a.s.) and it is a lengthy supplication and some of its sentences are related to Imam Asr (a.s.)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. O Allah, be for Your Wali among Your creatures, a protector, a guard, a leader and helper, till he lives in Your earth in peace and enjoys it for a long time. And appoint him and his progeny the inheritor Imams.
And bring together his dispersed affairs, and perfect his rule, and bring for him his subjects and make his glory strong, and bless him with patience and forbearance. Till he takes revenge and give peace to his heart. And cure the hearts of malice and make the burning hearts cool. And end the regret of aggrieved souls, from the aspect of blood shed unlawfully and broken relations, and unknown obedience [ignorance about compulsory obedience of the rightful Imam] make the hardships good for him and make Your bestowals wide and complete Your bounties on him with a good protection to him. O Allah, remove the fear of enemy from him and erase his memory of enemies; do bad with all those who wish bad for him and plot against all those who plot against him and reserve evil for him. O Allah, scatter their conglomeration and end their limit and make their hearts overawed and make their steps slip. And crush their tribes, and scatter their affairs as they have wasted the prayer and have followed their base desires.
They have committed evils and kept away from good. Therefore, apprehend them through exemplary punishment and show them regrets. Indeed You are powerful over everything.
It is recommended to recite the well known Dua Nudbah, which is related to His Eminence and in fact the points mentioned therein are very touching and moving; causing one to be emotionally charged with attachment to the Imam for one, who has tasted even a little bit of the syrup of his love; it is bitterness of the poison of his separation, which becomes effective on Friday; on the contrary on its eve also as is mentioned in an ancient book of Ziyarat written by Shaykh Tabarsi, the author of Ehtejaaj, in which it is mentioned that it should be recited and since it is a lengthy supplication and is available in many other books as well, we have not mentioned it here.
The best deed on Friday
He says that the best of the deeds on Friday is to recite a hundred times after Asr Prayer: O Allah, bless Muhammad and the progeny of Muhammad and hasten their reappearance. And in many supplications of Friday, seeking help and hastening of the reappearance in the first supplications of the post prayer litanies of Zuhr on Friday, it is mentioned: O Allah, as my life is dedicated for Paradise with an infallible from the progeny of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.), who is aggrieved due to his victimization and whose rulership is destined that through him He would fill up the earth with justice as it would have been fraught with injustice and oppression. O Allah, hasten his reappearance.

Or what is urged to happen quickly is not delayed. Give me contentment and an independent disposition.

allaahumma arfaa’z’annee ilayka s’aa-i’dan wa laa tat’ma-inna fiyya a’duwwan wa laa h’aasidan wah’faz’nee qaaa-iman wa qaa-i’dan wa yaqt’anna wa raaqidan
O Allah! Make my knowledge about thee of the highest quality. Do not let me drown myself in hatred, nor feel resentful; keep me steadfast, within bounds, obedient, enduring.

اللّهُمَّ إغْفِرْ لي وَارْحَمْني وَاهْدِني سَبيلَكَ الاقْوَمُ وَقِني حَرَّ جَهَنَّمَ وَ احْطِطْ عَنّي المَغْرَمَ وَالمَأثَمَ وَاجْعَلْني مِنْ خيارِ العالَمِ.
allaahummaghfir lee warh’amnee wahdinee sabeelakal aqwamu wa qinee h’arra jahannama wa h’areeqal muz”rami wah’t’ut’ a’nnil maghrama wal maa-thuma waj-a’lnee min khiyaaril a’alami
O Allah forgive me, have mercy on me, make me strive in Thy way honestly, free me from the heat of burning Hell, from being consumed by the blazing fire, make less what I have to pay back, and punishment I deserve, make me be one of the choicest people for all times.

إرْحَمْني مَمّا لاطاقَةَ لي بِهِ وَلاصَبْرَ لي عَلَيْهِ. برحمتك يا أرحم الرحمين ،  اللهم صل على محمد وآهل بيته الطيبين الطاهرين
allaahumma arh’amnee mimmaa laa t’aaqai lee bihee wa laa s’abra lee a’layhi bi-rah’matika yaa arh’amar raah’imeen allaahumma s’alli a’laa muh’ammadin’w wa aali muh’ammad.
 O Allah! Have mercy on me because have not the strength, nor patience to withstand it (punishment), Through Thy mercy, O the Most Merciful.  O Allah send blessings on Muhammad and on the children of Muhammad.

وَيَا مَنْ لَا يُخَيِّبُ الْمُلِحِّينَ عَلَيْهِ
Wa Yā Man Lā Yukhayyib al-Muliḥḥīn ‘alayh
O He Who does not disappoint those who persist in asking Him,

وَيَا مَنْ لَا يَجْبَهُ بِالرَّدِّ أَهْلَ الدَّالَّةِ عَلَيْهِ
Wa Yā Man Lā Yajbah bi-al-Radd Ahl al-Dāllah ‘alayh
O He Who does not respond with rejection to those who depend on Him,

وَيَا مَنْ يَجْتَبِي صَغِيرَ مَا يُتْحَفُ بِهِ
Wa Yā Man Yajtabī Ṣaghīr Mā Yutḥaf bih

O He Who thanks for the little,

وَيُجَازِي بِالْجَلِيلِ
Wa Yujāzī bi-al-Jalīl
And rewards with the great,

وَيَا مَنْ يَدْنُو إِلَى مَنْ دَنَا مِنْهُ
Wa Yā Man Yadnū ilā Man Danā Minhu

And forgives the bad deed until He removes it,

انْصَرَفَتِ الْآمَالُ دُونَ مَدَى كَرَمِكَ
Inṣarafat al-Āmāl Dūn Madā Karamik
Hopes have turned away before reaching the extent of Your generosity,

بِالْحَاجَاتِ، وَامْتَلَأَتْ بِفَيْضِ جُودِكَ
bi-al-Ḥājāt, wa-Imtala’at bi-Fayḍ Jūdik
With needs, and the containers of requests have been filled with the abundance of Your generosity,

أَوْعِيَةُ الطَّلِبَاتِ، وَتَفَسَّخَتْ دُونَ بُلُوغِ نَعْتِكَ
Aw‘iyat al-Ṭalibāt, wa-Tafassaḥat Dūn Bulūgh Na‘tika
And the descriptions have fallen short of reaching Your attributes,

الصِّفَاتُ، فَلَكَ الْعُلُوُّ الْأَعْلَى فَوْقَ كُلِّ عَالٍ
al-Ṣifāt, Falak al-‘Ulū al-A‘lā Fawq Kull ‘Ālī
So You have the highest loftiness above all that is high,

وَالْجَلَالُ الْأَمْجَدُ فَوْقَ كُلِّ جَلَالٍ
wa-al-Jalāl al-Amjad Fawq Kull Jalāl
And the most glorious majesty above all that is majestic,

كُلُّ جَلِيلٍ عِنْدَكَ صَغِيرٌ
Kull Jalīl ‘indak Ṣaghīr
Every great thing before You is small,

وَكُلُّ شَرِيفٍ فِي جَنْبِ شَرَفِكَ حَقِيرٌ
wa-Kull Sharīf fī Janb Sharafik Ḥaqīr
And every honorable thing beside Your honor is insignificant.

خَابَ الْوَافِدُونَ عَلَى غَيْرِكَ
Khāb al-Wāfidūn ‘alā Ghayrik
Those who approach anyone other than You are disappointed,

وَخَسِرَ الْمُتَعَرِّضُونَ إِلَّا لَكَ
wa-Khasira al-Muta‘arriḍūn illā lak
And those who expose themselves except to You are losers,

وَضَاعَ الْمُلِمُّونَ إِلَّا بِكَ
wa-Ḍā‘a al-Mulimmūn illā bik
And those who seek assistance except by You are lost,

وَأَجْدَبَ الْمُنْتَجِعُونَ إِلَّا مَنِ انْتَجَعَ فَضْلَكَ
wa-Ajdaba al-Muntaji‘ūn illā Man Intaja‘ Faḍlak
And those who seek pastures except for Your bounty are barren.

بَابُكَ مَفْتُوحٌ لِلرَّاغِبِينَ
Bābuk Maftūḥ li-al-Rāghibīn
Your door is open for those who desire,

وَجُودُكَ مُبَاحٌ لِلسَّائِلِينَ
wa-Jūduk Mubāḥ li-al-Sā’ilīn
And Your generosity is available to the seekers,

وَإِغَاثَتُكَ قَرِيبَةٌ مِنَ الْمُسْتَغِيثِينَ
wa-Ighāthatuka Qarībah min al-Mustaghīthīn
And Your help is near to those who cry out for it.

لَا يَخِيبُ مِنْكَ الْآمِلُونَ
Lā Yakhīb Min Ka al-Āmilūn
Those who hope in You are not disappointed,

وَلَا يَيْأَسُ مِنْ عَطَائِكَ الْمُتَعَرِّضُونَ
wa-Lā Yay’as Min ‘Aṭā’ika al-Muta‘arriḍūn
And those who expose themselves to Your gifts do not despair,

وَلا يَشْقَى بِنَقِمَتِكَ الْمُسْتَغْفِرُونَ
wa-Lā Yashqā bi-Naqmatika al-Mustaghfirūn
And those who seek Your forgiveness are not afflicted by Your punishment.

رِزْقُكَ مَبْسُوطٌ لِمَنْ عَصَاكَ
Rizquk Mabsūṭ li-Man ‘Aṣāk
Your provision is extended to those who disobey You,

وَحِلْمُكَ مُعْتَرِضٌ لِمَنْ نَاوَاكَ
wa-Ḥilmuk Mu‘taḍir li-Man Nāwāk
And Your forbearance is offered to those who oppose You,

عَادَتُكَ الْإِحْسَانُ إِلَى الْمُسِيئِينَ
‘Ādatuka al-Iḥsān ilā al-Musī’īn
Your habit is to be kind to those who do wrong,

وَسُنَّتُكَ الْإِبْقَاءُ عَلَى الْمُعْتَدِينَ
wa-Sunnatuka al-Ibqā’ ‘alā al-Mu‘tadīn
And Your way is to preserve those who transgress,

حَتَّى لَقَدْ غَرَّتْهُمْ أَنَاتُكَ
Ḥattā Laqad Gharrahum Anātuka
Until Your patience has deceived them,

عَنِ الرُّجُوعِ، وَصَدَّهُمْ إِمْهَالُكَ عَنِ النُّزُوعِ
‘an al-Rujū‘, wa-Ṣaddahum Imhāluka ‘an al-Nuzū‘
From returning, and Your delay has prevented them from repenting.

وَإِنَّمَا تَأَنَّيْتَ بِهِمْ لِيَفِيئُوا
wa-Innamā Ta’annaītbihim Liyafī’ū
You only delayed them so that they might return,

إِلَى أَمْرِكَ، وَأَمْهَلْتَهُمْ ثِقَةً بِدَوَامِ مُلْكِكَ
ilā Amrik, wa-Amhaltahum Thiqatan bi-Dawām Mulkik
To Your command, and You gave them respite trusting in the permanence of Your dominion.

فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ السَّعَادَةِ خَتَمْتَ لَهُ بِهَا
Fa-Man Kān Min Ahl al-Sa‘ādah Khatamt lahu bihā
So, whoever is among the people of happiness, You have sealed it for him,

وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّقَاوَةِ خَذَلْتَهُ لَهَا
wa-Man Kān Min Ahl al-Shaqāwah Khadhaltahu Lahā
And whoever is among the people of misery, You have forsaken him to it.

كُلُّهُمْ صَائِرُونَ، إِلَى حُكْمِكَ
Kulluhum Ṣā’irūn, ilā Ḥukmik
All of them are returning to Your judgment,

وَأَمُورُهُمْ آئِلَةٌ إِلَى أَمْرِكَ
wa-Umūruhum Ā’ilatun ilā Amrik
And their affairs will return to Your command.

لَمْ يَهِنْ عَلَى طُولِ مُدَّتِهِمْ سُلْطَانُكَ
Lam Yahin ‘alā Ṭūl Muddatihim Sulṭānak
Your authority has not weakened over the length of their duration,

وَلَمْ يَدْحَضْ لِتَرْكِ مُعَاجَلَتِهِمْ بُرْهَانُكَ
wa-Lam Yadḥaḍ li-Tark Mu‘ājaltihim Burhānak
And Your proof has not been invalidated by Your delay in punishing them.

حُجَّتُكَ قَائِمَةٌ لَا تُدْحَضُ، وَسُلْطَانُكَ ثَابِتٌ
Ḥujjatuka Qā’imah Lā Tudḥaḍ, wa-Sulṭānuka Thābit
Your argument is established and cannot be invalidated, and Your authority is firm,

لَا يَزُولُ، فَالْوَيْلُ الدَّائِمُ لِمَنْ جَنَحَ عَنْكَ
Lā Yazūl, Fa-al-Wayl al-Dā’im li-Man Janaḥ ‘ank
It does not waver, so the eternal woe is for those who deviate from You,

وَالْخَيْبَةُ الْخَاذِلَةُ لِمَنْ خَابَ مِنْكَ
wa-al-Khaybah al-Khādhilah li-Man Khāb Minka
And the disgrace that ruins for those who lose hope in You,

وَالشَّقَاءُ الْأَشْقَى لِمَنِ اغْتَرَّ بِكَ
wa-al-Shaqā’ al-Ashqā li-Man Ightarra Bika
And the most severe misery for those who are deluded by You.

مَا أَكْثَرَ تَصَرُّفَهُ فِي عَذَابِكَ
Mā Akthar Taṣarrufahu fī ‘Adhābik
How much he will wander in Your punishment,

وَمَا أَطْوَلَ تَرَدُّدَهُ فِي عِقَابِكَ
wa-Mā Aṭwal Taradudahu fī ‘Iqābik
And how long he will hesitate in Your retribution,

وَمَا أَبْعَدَ غَايَتَهُ مِنَ الْفَرَجِ
wa-Mā Ab‘ad Ghāyatahu min al-Faraj
And how far his end is from relief,

وَمَا أَقْنَطَهُ مِنْ سُهُولَةِ الْمَخْرَجِ
wa-Mā Aqnaṭahu min Suhūlat al-Makhraj
And how hopeless he is of an easy way out.

عَدْلًا مِنْ قَضَائِكَ لَا تَجُورُ فِيهِ
‘Adlan min Qaḍā’ik Lā Tajūr fīh
It is justice from Your judgment that is not unjust,

وَإِنْصَافاً مِنْ حُكْمِكَ لَا تَحِيفُ عَلَيْهِ
wa-Inṣāfan min Ḥukmik Lā Taḥīf ‘alayh
And fairness from Your rule that is not biased against him.

فَقَدْ ظَاهَرْتَ الْحُجَجَ، وَأَبْلَيْتَ الْأَعْذَارَ
Faqad Ẓāhart al-Ḥujaj, wa-Ablayt al-A‘dhār
You have made the arguments clear, and exhausted the excuses,

وَقَدْ تَقَدَّمْتَ بِالْوَعِيدِ، وَتَلَطَّفْتَ فِي التَّرْغِيبِ
wa-Qad Taqaddamt bi-al-Wa‘īd, wa-Talaṭṭaft fī al-Targhīb
And You have advanced the warning, and been gentle in encouragement,

وَضَرَبْتَ الْأَمْثَالَ، وَأَطَلْتَ الْإِمْهَالَ
wa-Ḍarabt al-Amthāl, wa-Aṭalt al-Imhāl
And You have given examples, and prolonged the respite,

وَأَخَّرْتَ وَأَنْتَ مُسْتَطِيعٌ لِلمُعَاجَلَةِ
wa-Akhkhart wa-Ant Mustaṭī‘ li-al-Mu‘ājalah
And You have delayed while being capable of hastening,

وَتَأَنَّيْتَ وَأَنْتَ مَلِي‏ءٌ بِالْمُبَادَرَةِ
wa-Ta’annaīt wa-Ant Malī’un bi-al-Mubādarah
And You have been patient while being able to act promptly.

لَمْ تَكُنْ أَنَاتُكَ عَجْزاً
Lam Takun Anātuk ‘Ajzan
Your patience is not out of weakness,

وَلَا إِمْهَالُكَ وَهْناً
wa-Lā Imhāluka Wahnan
Nor is Your delay out of helplessness,

وَلَا إِمْسَاكُكَ غَفْلَةً
wa-Lā Imsākuk Ghaflah
Nor is Your withholding out of neglect,

وَلَا انْتِظَارُكَ مُدَارَاةً
wa-Lā Intiẓāruk Mudārah
Nor is Your waiting out of pretense,

بَلْ لِتَكُونَ حُجَّتُكَ أَبْلَغَ
Bal Li-Takūn Ḥujjatuka Ablagh
But so that Your argument may be more complete,

وَكَرَمُكَ أَكْمَلَ
wa-Karamuk Akmal
And Your generosity more perfect,

وَإِحْسَانُكَ أَوْفَى
wa-Iḥsānak Awfā
And Your beneficence more abundant,

وَنِعْمَتُكَ أَتَمَّ
wa-Ni‘matuk Atamm
And Your blessings more complete.

كُلُّ ذَلِكَ كَانَ وَلَمْ تَزَلْ
Kull Dhālik Kāna wa-Lam Tazal
All of that was and has not ceased to be,

وَهُوَ كَائِنٌ وَلَا تَزَالُ
wa-Huwa Kā’in wa-Lā Tazāl
And it will continue to be and You will not cease.

حُجَّتُكَ أَجَلُّ مِنْ أَنْ تُوصَفَ
Ḥujjatuka Ajal min an Tūṣaf
Your argument is more sublime than to be described,

بِكُلِّهَا، وَمَجْدُكَ أَرْفَعُ مِنْ أَنْ يُحَدَّ
bi-Kulliha, wa-Majduka Arfa‘ min an Yuḥadd
In its entirety, and Your glory higher than to be limited,

بِكُنْهِهِ، وَنِعْمَتُكَ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ أَنْ تُحْصَى
bi-Kunhih, wa-Ni‘matuka Akthar min an Tuḥṣā
In its essence, and Your blessings more numerous than to be counted,

بِأَسْرِهَا، وَإِحْسَانُكَ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ أَنْ تُشْكَرَ
bi-Asrihā, wa-Iḥsānuka Akthar min an Tushkar
In their entirety, and Your kindness more abundant than to be thanked,

عَلَى أَقَلِّهِ، وَقَدْ قَصَّرَ بِيَ السُّكُوتُ
‘alā Aqalih, wa-Qad Qaṣṣar Bī al-Sukūt
For the least of it, and my silence has fallen short,

عَنْ تَحْمِيدِكَ، وَفَهَّهَنِيَ الْإِمْسَاكُ
‘an Taḥmīdik, wa-Fahhanī al-Imsāk
From praising You, and my restraint has hindered me,

عَنْ تَمْجِيدِكَ، وَقُصَارَايَ الْإِقْرَارُ بِالْحُسُورِ
‘an Tamjīdik, wa-Quṣārāyā al-Iqrār bi-al-Ḥusūr
From glorifying You, and my utmost is to admit my shortcomings.

لَا رَغْبَةً يَا إِلَهِي بَلْ عَجْزاً
Lā Raghbatan Yā Ilāhī Bal ‘Ajzan
Not out of desire, O my God, but out of incapacity.

فَهَا أَنَا ذَا أَؤُمُّكَ بِالْوِفَادَةِ
Fa-Hā Anā Dhā A’ummuk bi-al-Wifādah
So here I am approaching You with supplication,

وَأَسْأَلُكَ حُسْنَ الرِّفَادَةِ
wa-As’aluka Ḥusn al-Rifādah
And asking You for good hospitality,

فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ
Fa-Ṣalli ‘alā Muḥammad wa-Ālih
So bless Muhammad and his family,

وَاسْمَعْ نَجْوَايَ، وَاسْتَجِبْ دُعَائِي
wa-Asma‘ Najwāya, wa-Astajib Du‘ā’ī
And hear my whispers, and answer my supplication,

وَلَا تَخْتِمْ يَوْمِي بِخَيْبَتِي
wa-Lā Takhtim Yawmī bi-Khaybatī
And do not seal my day with disappointment,

وَلَا تَجْبَهْنِي بِالرَّدِّ فِي مَسْأَلَتِي
wa-Lā Tajbahnī bi-al-Radd fī Mas’alatī
And do not confront me with rejection in my request,

وَأَكْرِمْ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ مُنْصَرَفِي
wa-Akrim min ‘indak Munṣarafī
And honor my departure from You,

وَإِلَيْكَ مُنْقَلَبِي
wa-Ilayk Munqalabī
And my return to You.

إِنَّكَ غَيْرُ ضَائِقٍ بِمَا تُرِيدُ
Innaka Ghayru Ḍā’iq bimā Turīd
You are not constrained by what You wish,

وَلَا عَاجِزٍ عَمَّا تُسْأَلُ
wa-Lā ‘ājiz ‘ammā Tus’al
And not incapable of what You are asked,

وَأَنْتَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ
wa-Anta ‘alā Kulli Shay’ Qadīr
And You are capable of everything,

وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ
wa-Lā Ḥawla wa-Lā Quwwata illā bi-Allah
And there is no power and no strength except by Allah,

الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ
al-‘Alī al-‘Aẓīm
The Most High, the Most Great.

Friday Dua from Al Seraj
It is recommended to read this dua on Friday. Imam Ali (a.s.) said the grieved will have his grief removed by Allah, the distressed will have his distress dispelled by Allah and the wish seeker will have his wish granted by Allah. (Ref Bihar al Anwar vol 87 Page 55)
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَ بِاللَّهِ،

فَأَغْشَيْنَاهُمْ فَهُمْ لَا يُبْصِرُونَ،

Allah protects me,

وَ يُقَوِّينِي عَلَى الْخَلْقِ،

By Allah's light I see clearly,

Wa biquwwati Allāh al-Quddūs asta'īn,
And by Allah the Holy's strength, I seek help,

اللَّهَ يُعْطِينِي،
Allāh yu'ṭīnī,
Allah gives me,

وَ اللَّهُ الْمَلِكُ الْجَبَّارُ يَرْفَعُنِي،
Wa Allāhu al-Malik al-Jabbār yarfa'ūnī,
And Allah, the King, the Compeller, raises me,

عَلَى أَجْنِحَةِ الْكَرُوبِيِّينَ،
'Alā ajniḥati al-karūbiyyīn,
On the wings of the cherubim,

Commenting on this Ziyarah, Sayyid Ibn Tawus says: As I say this form of Ziyarah, I cite this couple of poetic verses as the best expression of my feeling:
نَزِيْلُكَ حَيْثُ مَا اتَّجَهَتْ رِكَابِيْ وَ ضَيْفُكَ حَيْثُ كُنْتُ مِنَ الْبِلَادِ
"I am your visitor wherever my mount turns.. and I am your guest whichever place I may be"

The exegesis of the Salutations to Hazrat Imam Zamana (a.s.) on the day of Friday
Peace be upon you O guardian and supervisor nominated by Allah on His creation
The word Aayn? means 'eye' (Surah Maidah (5), Verse 54), similarly another meaning is derived from it is 'spring' (Surah Baqarah (2), Verse 60). The Holy Quran has used this word in context with these two meanings; otherwise the word has been used in several other meanings and contexts. According to famous Arabic litterateurs, the exact meaning of this word means eye and in rest of the cases its use is symbolic. He explained it with a simile that the reason for its usage in spring may be because the way water gushes out of the spring, similarly tears roll out of the eye.
(al-Mufradaat)
Hazrat Imam-e-Zamana (a.s.) has been mentioned as the 'eye of Allah', In Quran, Allah has mentioned His eye in the following verse: (O Prophet!) And wait patiently for the judgment of your Lord, for surely you are before Our eyes(Surah Tur (52), Verse 48)
It may be emphasized here that according to Islamic monotheistic beliefs Allah does not have any physical form or shape. However, He has made metaphorical references to things on His own like Kaaba is mentioned as His house and the she camel of Hazrat Saleh (a.s.) is mentioned as His own.
Nevertheless, according to the traditions of the Ahle Bait (a.s.), Imams (a.s.) are the eyes of Allah which constantly supervises His creation. There are innumerable traditions in this regard, but we will mention two of those traditions. Allamah Mohammad Baqir Majlisi (r.a.) in his famous book, Behaarul Anwaar has devoted one entire chapter to this subject and quoted 63 traditions in it.
1. Khusaimah relates that I asked Hazrat Imam Ja'far Sadiq (a.s.) about the Quranic verse "And everything will perish except His face (wajh)". Hazrat Imam Sadiq (a.s.) explained that
by 'wajh' Allah means His religion and the religion of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) and Hazrat Ali (a.s.), they are His face and His eyes among the people.(Behaarul Anwaar, vol. 24, p. 197, hadith 33, quoted from Tauhid-e-Saduq, p. 140)
It may be noted here that the face of Allah here is not physical face but Imams (a.s.) because through them people can turn towards Allah.
2. Hazrat Imam Sadiq (a.s.) says, Hazrat Amirul Momeneen Ali (a.s.) said, 'I am the knowledge of Allah and the observant eye of Allah.'(Behaarul Anwaar, vol. 24, p. 198, h. 25, quoted from Tauhid-e-Shaikh Saduq (r.a.), p 152, 155)
It is evident that in the present era, Hazrat Imam-e-Zamana (a.s.) who represents Ahle Bait (a.s.), is the eye of Allah who guards His creation.
'Peace be upon you O light of Allah through whom the guided ones receive guidance and through whom the believers are provided salvation.'
Shia and Sunnis unanimously agree that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) and His Ahle Bait (a.s.) are the light of Allah which guides mankind. Let's have a glance at the 'Ayate Noor" and its interpretation in the Holy Quran:
Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth; the likeness of His light is as a niche in which is a lamp, the lamp is in a glass, (and) the glass is as it were a brightly shining star, lit from a blessed olive-tree, neither eastern nor western, the oil whereof almost gives light though fire touch it not-- light upon light-- Allah guides to His light whom He pleases, and Allah sets forth parables for men, and Allah is Cognizant of all things.(Surah Noor (24), Verse 35)
In the interpretation of this verse, famous Sunni scholar, Ibne Maghazali Shafei in his famous book, al Manaqib writes that Ali bin Ja'far says that I went to Imam Abul Hasan (a.s.) and asked him about this like a 'Niche in which the lamp', to which he replied:
"The niche means Hazrat Fatema (a.s.) and the lamp implies Hazrat Imam Hasan (a.s.) and Hazrat Imam Husain (a.s.). And ?the glass is as it were a brightly shining star? the glass is as it were a brightly shining star refers to Hazrat Fatema (s.a.) who is a shining star among the women of the world. 'Lit from a blessed olive-tree', here the tree means Hazrat Ibrahim (a.s.) and when the verse says 'Neither eastern nor western' means that Ibrahim was neither a Jew nor a Christian. 'The oil whereof almost gives light' means soon knowledge will emanate from it. 'Though fire touch it not - light upon light' means there will be Imams one after another. 'Allah guides to His light whom He pleases' means... whoever Allah wishes guides towards our Mastership and Leadership."(Manaqibe Maghazali pg 317)
This was from a Sunni book; there are a huge number of traditions even in the Shia books. One of them is mentioned hereunder:
Janab Jabir Ibne Abdullah Ansari (r.a.) narrates that when I entered Masjid-e-Kufa, I saw Hazrat Ali (a.s.) was writing something from his fingers and was constantly smiling. Out of curiosity I asked, "What is the reason for this mirth?"
Hazrat Imam Ali (a.s.) answered: "I am amazed at the man who recites this verse and does not recognize it as he ought to recognize it?"
I asked which verse O Amirul Momeneen (a.s.)? He (a.s.) said:
The saying of Allah, 'Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth; a likeness of His light is as a niche' Here 'niche' means Hazrat Mohammad (s.a.w.a.), while I am the lamp, 'in a glass' the glass case means Imam Hasan (a.s.) and Imam Husain (a.s.), 'it were a brightly shining star' means Imam Ali bin Al Husain (a.s.), 'lit from a blessed tree' means Mohammad bin Ali (a.s.), 'olive' means Ja'far bin Mohammad (a.s.), 'neither eastern' means Musa bin Ja'far (a.s.), while 'nor western' means Ali bin Musa (a.s.), 'the oil whereof almost gives light' is Mohammad bin Ali (a.s.) and 'though fire touch it not' is Ali bin Mohammad (a.s.), 'light upon light' is al Hasan bin Ali (a.s.) and 'Allah guides to His light whom He pleases' is Al Qaem Al Mahdi (a.t.f.s.).(Ghaayatul Maraam, by Sayed Hashim Bahrani (r.a.), pg 318)
This tradition was the hidden interpretation of Ayate Noor. Late Shaikh Hadi Tehrani (r.a.) has written a full article on this and named it as 'Resalatul Nooriyah'. Those interested in comprehensive information may refer to this article.
Nevertheless, Allamah Majlisi (r.a.) in chapter 18 has recorded 42 traditions which explains that Infallible Imams (a.s.) are the Light of Allah. For details refer vol 23 pg 304, one of those traditions is mentioned below:

Abu Khalid Kabuli inquired from Hazrat Imam Mohammad Baqir (a.s.) about the verse ?Therefore believe in Allah and His Apostle and the Light which We have revealed ' (Sura Tagabun(64), Verse 8).
Imam (a.s.) replied:
O Abu Khalid! By Allah, Noor in this verse refers to Imams (a.s.) from Aale Mohammad (s.a.w.a.). By Allah till the Day of Judgment, they will be Allah's Light which has been revealed. By Allah they are the Light of Allah in the earth and skies. O Abu Khalid, by Allah the Light of Imam (a.s.) is more illuminated in the heart of the believers than the sun during a bright day. By Allah, they brighten the hearts of the believers. From whomever Allah wishes, He hides His Light, which results in the darkening of their hearts. O Abu Khalid none will love us or accept our wilayat until Allah purifies his heart. And Allah will not cleanse his heart until he submits in front of us. And once he is submissive to us then Allah will protect him from intensive questioning and fear on the Day of Judgment."(Behaarul Anwaar vol 23 pg 308, hadith no 5, narrating from Tafsir Ali bin Ibrahim Qummi)
If Imams (a.s.) are Lights and their light is much more powerful than the physical source of light then, their effects will also be much more intense and significant. Two of those effects have been mentioned in this phrase of the ziyarat.
It is explained that through this Noor people are guided and believers (who are guided) get succor.
The word used in ziyarat is 'faraj'. Traditions have emphasized to await the 'faraj' (the relief). As Hazrat Imam Ja'far Sadiq (a.s.) said:
"Wait for the relief (faraj) and do not despair of Allah's mercy as certainly the most loved action in front of Allah is waiting for the relief."
This hadith clearly indicates that waiting for faraj is a laudable action in front of Allah. While the succor in this world will be attained only and only after the reappearance of Hazrat Imam-e- Zamana (a.t.f.s.), the succor in the hereafter is meant only for those who believe in the mastership and Leadership of the Infallible Imams (a.s.).
However, it should be borne in mind that for spiritual relief external means are not required, but the purification of soul and adherence to Ahle Bait (a.s.) alone is sufficient.
As Imam (a.s.) says in this tradition:"Excessively pray for faraj (relief) for in this (prayer) lies your salvation."

At the Time of Dhuhr
After the Dhuhr Prayer
Friday Dua at the Time of Dhuhr
Among the recommended acts on Fridays is that one may say the following prayer at midday as is narrated by Muhammad ibn Muslim on the authority of Imam Ja`far al-Sadiq (peace be upon him). Yet, the following form of the supplication has been quoted from Shaykh al-Tusi’s famous book entitled Misbah al-Mutahajjid:

لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ ٱللَّهُ
la ilaha illa allahu
There is no god save Allah.

وَٱللَّهُ اكْبَرُ
wallahu akbaru
Allah is the Most Great.

وَسُبْحَانَ ٱللَّهِ
wa subhana allahi
Glory be to Allah.

اَلْحَمْدُ للهِ الَّذي لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَداً
alhamdu lillahi alladhi lam yattakhidh waladan
All praise be to Allah Who has not taken to Himself a son
