23rd Ramzan 1432 A.H. - Shab-e-Qadr

[ZiaraatDotCom]

As Salam-o-alaikum,

Night of 23rd of Ramzan will start when the Fast of the 22nd of Ramzan
completes. This is the most probable night of Qadr - Shab-e-Qadr.

Importance of this night
========================
Allah(swt) mentions in Surat-ul-Qadr in the Holy Quran - "Lailatul-
Qadr-e Khair-um-min-alf fish-shahr" - The (prayer of the) Night of
Qadr is better than (the prayers of) 1000 months. Allah(swt) also says
in the same Sura “Tanaz zalul mala-ikatahu war ruhu feeha be izni
rabbahim mil kulle amr salamun hiyya hatta matlayil fajr”. During this
night, angels descend from the heavens on our Holy Imam-e-Zamana(atfs)
and bring his Allah(swt) orders regarding affairs of the whole year
that follows and this process continues until dawn.

I wish to felicitate all momineen and mominaat and thank profoundly
Allah(swt) who has provided all of us with another opportunity to
avail
ourselves of great vitues of this night.

Aamal (acts, prayers and duas) of Shab-e-Qadr
==============================================

Detailed aamal are available at: http://www.ziaraat.com/events/shabqadr/shabqadr.php


The Prophet Mohammad(sawaw) and the Holy Imams(a.s.) have taught
momineen special prayers and duas to be recited in Shab-e-Qadr. The
site
now contains a link "Aamal of Shab-e-Qadr" on the main page
detailing those special prayers and duas. Kindly review them and
inform
other momineen and mominaat as well so that as many could benefit as
possibly can.

Here is a quick summary of the aamal :
1. Performing ghusl (bath) before Maghrib prayers and praying Maghrib
and Ishaa with ghusl.
2. Staying awake and busy in prayers throughout the night.
3. 2 Rakaat Prayer. Recitation of Sura Tawheed 7 times after Sura
Hamd
in each Rakaat.
4. Recitation of dua "Astaghfirullah ha wa atoub-o ileah" 70 times
after this Prayer.
5. Recitation of 100 Rakaat of Prayers. Prefereably pray 6 days of
QAZA
Prayers (Obligatory prayers which have been missed).
6. Recitation of Dua Makaram-il-Ikhlaq, Dua-e-Tauba, Dua Joshan-e-
Kabeer and Dua Joshan-e-Sagheer.
7. Recitation of Ziarat of Imam Hussain(a.s.) and Imam-e-
Zamana(a.s.).
8. Recitation of Sura Room, Sura Ankaboot, Sura Dukhkhan and of as
many duas and Suras as possible.

I pray that Allah(swt) grants the will and strength to all of us to
spend the whole night in prayers asking for forgiveness of our own
sins and those of our loved ones and the betterment of our life in
this world and the hereafter.

Please make special prayers for the Ummah and for the early re-
appearance of Imam-e-Zamana(atfs)
