Thursday Nights Rites
(Shab e Juma)
Signifance of Thursday Nights

It has been narrated that Imam Ja`far al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) said, “On Thursday afternoons, angels from the heavens descend to the lowest space carrying golden pens and silver papers on which they record nothing except the invocations of blessings upon Muhammad and his Household.”
اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
allahumma salli `ala muhammadin wa ali muhammadin
O Allah, send blessings to Muhammad and his Household.


Shaykh al-Tusi says it is recommended, on Thursdays, to repeat the invocations of blessings upon Muhammad and his Household 1000 times in the following form:

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

وَعَجِّلْ فَرَجَهُمْ
wa `ajjil farajahum
hasten their Relief,

وَأَهْلِكْ عَدُوَّهُمْ
wa ahlik `aduwwahum
and destroy their enemies

مِنَ ٱلْجِنِّ وَٱلْإِنْسِ
mina aljinni wal-insi
from both jinn and human beings,

مِنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ وَٱلْآخِرِينَ
mina al-awwalina wal-akhirina
both the foremost and the later ones.

Great reward will be the share of him who utters this invocation from Thursday afternoons up to the last hour of Fridays.

Surahs, Salats Sura Kahf last 10 ayat

Surah's (Chapters) to be Recited on the Night Preceeding Friday
At Friday nights, it is recommended to recite the following chapters (Surah) of the Holy Qur'an:
(1) Surah al-Isra’ (Bani-Isra'il; No. 17),(2) Surah al-Kahf (No. 18),(3) the three Surahs beginning with Ta-Sin, i.e. Surah al-Shu`ara' (No. 26), Surah al-Naml (No. 27), and Surah al-Qasas (No. 28),(4) Surah al-Sajdah (No. 32),(5) Surah Yasin (No. 36),(6) Surah Sad (No. 38),(7) Surah al-Ahqaf (No. 46),(8) Surah al-Waqi`ah (No. 56), (9) Surah Fussilat (No. 41),(10) Surah al-Dukhan (No. 44),(11) Surah al-Tur (No. 52),(12) Surah al-Qamar (No. 54), and(13) Surah al-Jumu`ah (No. 62).
If there is not enough time to recite all these Surahs, one may choose Surah al-Waqi`ah and those preceding it [in the aforesaid list].
Imam al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) is reported to have said i)one who recites Surah al-Isra' each Friday night will join Imam al-Mahdi (peace be upon him) as one of his companions.
ii)one who recites Surah al-Kahf at Friday nights will die as martyr and will be resurrected with and in the line of the martyrs (on the Resurrection Day).
iii)one who recites the three Surahs beginning with Ta-Sin at Friday nights will be included with the intimate saints of Almighty Allah, will be made in the vicinity and under the protection of Him, will never be inflicted with misery in his worldly life, and will be given beyond his pleasure on the Resurrection Day.
iv)one who recites Surah al-Sajdah at Friday nights will be given his Record of Deeds in his right hand, will not be interrogated about his evildoings, and will be included with the companions of Muhammad and his Household—peace be upon them all.
v)one who recites on Fridays or at Friday nights Surah al-Ahqaf will be saved, by Almighty Allah, from terrors in the worldly life and will be secured from the horror of the Resurrection Day.
vi)one who recites Surah al-Waqiah at Friday nights will be loved by Almighty Allah, all people will be made to love him, will be saved from all miseries, poverty, neediness, and misfortunes in this worldly life, and will be joined to the companions of Imam `Ali Amir al-Mu'minin (as) because this Surah is ascribed to him
Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (peace be upon him) is  reported to have said that one who recites Surah Sad at Friday nights will be granted the welfare of this world as well as the Next World in such an excellent way that none would deserve except Prophets and archangels and will be allowed to Paradise as well as all those whom he loves among his household including the servants.
It has been also narrated that to recite Surah al-Jumu`ah at Friday nights is decided as expiation (forgiving the sins) for the evildoings committed throughout the week. A similar merit has been narrated for reciting Surah al-Kahf at Friday nights or after the two obligatory Dhuhr and `Asr Prayers on Fridays.


Salaats for the Night Preceeding Friday

It is worth mentioning that it is highly recommended to offer many (supererogatory) prayers at Friday nights such as;

Imam `Ali’s Prayer, known as (Salat Amir al-Mu'minin)

A two-unit prayer in each of which one should recite Surah al-Fatihah once and repeat Surah al-Zalzalah (No. 99) fifteen times. It has been narrated that one who offers this prayer will be saved, by Almighty Allah, from the grave torment and the horrors on the Resurrection Day.
A two-unit prayer in each of which after Sura Hamd, recite Sura Tawheed 70 times. Upon completion of the prayer say 'Astaghfirullah' 70 times.
It has been reported from the Holy Prophet, 'If one recites (this prayer) then by the One Who has sent me with truth anyone who performs this act and does Isteghfar then even if he supplicates for my whole nation the Almighty would accept his supplication and would enter the whole nation in Paradise. Allah grants him for each letter in the astagfirullah domes like stars in the sky, in each dome of the palaces by the number of stars in the sky, in each palace by the number of stars in the sky - chests, in each chest by the number of stars in the sky, beds, on each the bed was covered with blankets by the number of stars in the sky, etc ..., and Allah will bestow all these rewards on those who perform these two raka'ats.' [Reference: Biharul Anwaar, Mustadrak al-Wasail]

A six-unit prayer in each of which after Surah Hamd recite Ayatul Kursi and Surah Kafiroon once each and Surah Tawheed thrice. After the prayers, recite Ayatul Kursi three times. For one who recites this prayer the Almighty Allah appoints an angel to purify his sins who purifies his sins and in their place writes good fortune and bestows him whatever he desires.

Prayer of Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him) on Night of Friday
Quoting the book of Kunuz al-Najah by Shaykh al-Yabrisi, the author of al-Najm al-Thaqib mentioned the following statement to have come from Imam al-Mahdi (peace be upon him) : “Whoever has a request to be urgently granted by Almighty Allah, may bathe himself after midnight at a Friday night, directs towards his place of prayer, and offers a two unit prayer. In the first unit, he may recite Surah al-Faatehah, but when he reaches this holy verse, he should repeat it one hundred times:
إيّاك نعبد وإيّاك نستعين
He may then continue reciting this Surah. After that, he may recite Surah al-Tawheed one time only. In the genuflection of each unit, he may repeat the following seven times:
سبحان ربّى العظيم و بحمده
In the two prostrations of each unit, he may repeat the following seven times:
سبحان ربّى الاعلى و بحمده
Upon accomplishment of the prayer, he may beseech Almighty Allah using this supplicatory prayer. If he does, Almighty Allah will most certainly grant him his request unless it results in rupture of relations with one’s relatives:
اللَّهُمَّ إنْ أطَعْتُكَ فَالَمحْمَدَةُ لَكَ وَإنْ عَصَيْتُكَ فَالحُجَّةُ لَكَ مِنْكَ الرّوحُ وَمِنْكَ الفَرَجُ
سُبْحانَ مَنْ أنْعَمَ وَشَكَرَ سُبْحانَ مَنْ قَدَرَ وَغَفَرَ. اللَّهُمَّ إنْ كُنْتُ عَصَيْتُكَ فَإنّي قَدْ أطَعْتُكَ في أحَبِّ الاشْياءِ
إلَيكَ وَهوَ الايمانُ بِكَ، لَمْ أتَّخِذْ لَكَ وَلَداً وَلَمْ أدْعُ لَكَ شَريكا مَنّا مِنْكَ بِهِ عَليّ لامنّا مِنّي بِهِ عَلَيْكَ، وَقَدْ عَصَيْتُكَ ياإلهي عَلى غَيْرِ وَجْهِ المُكابَرَةِ وَلا الخُروجَ عَنْ عُبودِيَّتِكَ وَلا الجُحودِ لِرِبوبيَّتِكَ،
ولكِنْ أطَعْتُ هَوايَ وَأزَلَّني الشَّيْطانُ فَلَكَ الحُجَّةُ عَليّ وَالبَيانُ، فَإنْ تُعَذِبْني فَبِذنوبي غَيْرَ ظالِمٍ وَإنْ تَغْفِرْ لي وَتَرْحَمْنِي فَإنَّكَ جَوادٌ كَريمٌ.
You may then repeat this word as much as one breathe takes:
ياكَريمُ ياكَريمُ
You may then continue, saying:
ياآمِنا مِنْ كُلِّ شَيٍ وَكُلُّ شَيٍ مِنْكَ خائِفٌ حَذِرٌ أسْأَلَكَ بِأمْنِكَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيٍ وَخَوفِ كُلِّ شَيٍ مِنْكَ أنْ تُصَلّيَ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وِآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَأنْ تُعْطيَني أمانا لِنَفْسي وَأهْلي وَمالي وَوَلَدي حَتّى لاأخافَ أحَداً وَلاأحْذَرَ مِنْ شَيٍ أبَداً إنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيٍ قَديرٌ وَحَسْبُنا اللَّه وَنِعْمَ الوَكيلُ ياكافيَ إبْراهيمَ نَمْرودَ وَياكافيَ موسى فِرْعَوْنَ أَسْأَلُكَ أنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآل مُحَمَّدٍ وَأنْ تَكْفيَني شَرَّ
You may now mention the one whom you anticipate to harm you by name and the father’s name (i. e. so-and-so the son of so-and-so) and beseech Almighty Allah to repel his harm and save from his evils. Most certainly, Almighty Allah will do, if He wills.

Then, you may prostrate yourself, submit your request, and beseech Almighty Allah earnestly and purely. Verily, if any believing man or woman offers this prayer and says this supplicatory prayer, the doors to the heavens will be opened before him/her so that his/her requests will be granted and his/her prayer will be immediately responded, no matter what his/her prayer may be. This is one of the favors Almighty Allah has bestowed upon people and upon us."

Following Imam Ja`far al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) it is recommended to have pomegranate at Friday nights, preferably before going to sleep. In this respect, it has been narrated that to eat pomegranate before going to sleep procures security until morning. It is also instructive to extend a handkerchief on the ground so as to save all the seeds of a pomegranate from loss and then eat them all. It is also recommended not to share the pomegranate with anyone.
