Invocations to be Recited in the Morning and the

Evening

First of all, keep the Islamic definitions of “morning” and “evening” in mind:

The duration from midnight to the glimmering of the first ray of the sun is called ‘morning.’ Whatever recited within this duration will be considered to have been recited in morning. From the starting of Ẓuĥr time upto the sunset is called ‘evening.’ Whatever recited within this duration will be considered to have been recited in the evening. By reciting the following invocations every morning and evening, the reciter would attain countless benefits. It is not necessary to recite in sequence.

1. Recitation of سورة الفلق ,سورة اخالص and سورة الناس three times each is a great means of protection from every affliction. If one recites these Sūraĥ’s in the morning, he will be protected till the evening, and if he recites them in the evening, he will remain secured till morning. (Abū Dāwūd,

Ḥadīš No. 5082, Vol. 4, page 355)

If he dies on that day, he will be a Shaĥīd (Martyr). If one recites the same invocations in the evening, there is the same Šawāb for him till morning. (Jāmi’-e-Tirmiżī, Ḥadīš No. 2931, Vol. 4,

The above-mentioned supplication is included in the morning Waẓāif in Al-Waẓīfaĥ-tul-Karīmaĥ but the number is not mentioned. Therefore, if it is recited once there is no harm in it. However, there is a narration in “Madāre-jun-Nubūwwat”, vol. 1, page 236 reported by Sayyidunā Anas ��+�� *,��- �. � �/�& without any limitation of time: The narration says: ‘The one who recites this Du’ā 10 times will be as cleansed from sins as he was on the day when he was born. Further, he is secured from 70 worldly troubles like frenzy, leprosy, leucoderma and wind etc.’ (It is up to the reciter whether he recites it once

in the morning only or recites it 10 times any time during the day).

1 It is permissible to make Īṣāl-e-Šawāb to an alive Muslim. Therefore, Sayyidunā Ṣāleḥ ibn Dirĥam narrates: while we were on our way to Makkaĥ for performing Ḥaj, we came across a man who asked us if there was a nearby village named Ubullāĥ. We replied in the positive. Listening to this, he asked ‘Which one of you assures me of offering two or four rak’at Ṣalāĥ in Masjid-e-‘Ashār for me and say ‘This Ṣalāĥ is for (the Īṣāl-e-Šawāb of) Abū Ĥuraīraĥ.’ (In fact, the man who asked them to do so was Abū Ĥuraīraĥ himself). (Mishkāt-kitāb-ul-fitn, Bāb-ul-Malāḥim Pg.468)

The reciter of this invocation would remain secured from all troubles, afflictions, Satan and evils. His sins would be forgiven; no one else’s good deeds would turn out to be equal to his good deeds2. (Musnad Aḥmad, Ḥadīš No. 18012, Vol. 6, page 289)

2 A narration of Musnad Imām Aḥmad states that it may be recited after Fajr and Maghrib. Another narration says one can recite it after Fajr and ‘Aṣr. According to the Ḥanafī school of thought, acting upon the latter narration is more appropriate. (Baĥār-e-Sharī’at)

After the Fajr Ṣalāĥ

After Fajr, the one who remains busy doing the Żikr of Allāĥ �� without changing the position of his feet in sitting-posture till the sun uprises, i.e. almost twenty minutes pass after the glimmering of first sunbeam, and then performs 2 Rak’ats of Nafl Ṣalāĥ will get the Šawāb of complete Ḥajj and ‘Umraĥ. (Jāmi’-e- Tirmiżī, Ḥadīš No. 586, Vol. 2, page 100)

During the Night

The duration from sunset to Ṣubḥ-e-Ṣādiq (dawn) is referred to as night (in Islamic jurisprudence). Hence, whatever is recited within this duration will be considered to have been recited during night. For example, if any invocation is recited after Maghrib, it will be considered to have been recited during the night. If possible, recite the following during the night.

كـل ـورة م ـس .1 : The excellence of reciting this Sūraĥ is that the reciter will get deliverance from the torment of grave. (Jāmi’-e- Tirmiżī, Ḥadīš No. 2899, Vol. 4, page 407)

ـ ورة ي ـس .2 س ـ : The excellence of reciting this Sūraĥ is that the

reciter will be forgiven. (Shu’b-ul-Imān, Ḥadīš No. 2458, Vol. 2, page 479)

انـورة دخ ـس .4 : The excellence of reciting this Sūraĥ is that the reciter will wake up in the morning in such a state that 70,000 angels will be making the supplication of forgiveness for him. (Jāmi’-e- Tirmiżī, Ḥadīš No. 2897, Vol. 4, page 406)

Invocations to be Recited before Going to Sleep

1. If someone recites ‘Āyat-ul-Kursī’ ( ـ ال ت ــآي ـ ک ـ ىـ رس ـ ) once, a custodian (an angel) will be deputed for the reciter by Allāĥ �� and Satan will not be able to approach him till morning. (Ṣaḥīḥ Bukhārī, Ḥadīš No. 2311, Vol. 3, page 88) The reciter’s house as well as his neighbouring houses will remain protected from theft; further, ghosts and Jinns would not enter these houses. (Al Waẓīfaĥ-tul-Karīmaĥ, page 18)

2. The one who recites Tasbīḥ-e-Fāṭimaĥ ( م�سيح فاط ت ) at night will wake up happily in the morning. There are numerous other benefits for reciting this invocation. (Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim,


3. Recite Sūraĥ Fātiḥaĥ ‘ ح�الفات ورة س ’ and Sūraĥ Ikhlāṣ ‘ خالصال ا ة سور ’ once each. (Reported by Bazaz, Ref: Ḥiṣn-ul-Ḥaṣaīn, page 36)

4. Recite Sūra-tul-Baqaraĥ ‘ ہالبقر سورة ’ from the beginning of

the Sūraĥ till مفلحون and then from سول till the end of امن الرthe Sūraĥ. (Shu’bul Imān, Ḥadīš No. 2413, Vol. 2, page 464)

5. Recite the last Āyaĥs of Sūraĥ Kaĥaf ‘ فه سورةك ’ from امنوا ان الذين to the end of the Sūraĥ. If someone recites these Āyaĥs with the intention of waking up from sleep any time during

the day or night, he will wake up at the desired time. �� !!" #� �� (Dārimī, Ḥadīš No. 3406, Vol. 2 , page 335)

6. Spreading the palms of both hands and reciting سورة اخالص, رة الفلقسو and سورة الناس once each, blow on palms and then

stroke hands on the head, face, chest, back and front up to where the hands can reach in the whole body. Do the same for a second and third time; the one doing so will remain

safe from every affliction. �� !!" #� �� (Ṣaḥīḥ Bukhārī, Ḥadīš

No. 6319, Vol. 7, page 192)

7. Finish invocations by reciting Sūra-tul-Kāfirūn ‘ الکحبفرون ورة س ’ at the end. After that, if there is a need to talk, one may talk, but he should recite the same Sūraĥ again in the end.

Taĥajjud

Sleep after performing ‘Ishā Ṣalāĥ; when you wake up during any part of the night before Ṣubḥ-e-Ṣādiq (dawn), even if you wake up having slept for a short while after ‘Ishā Ṣalāĥ, make Wuḍū and perform at least 2 Rak’ats Nafl Ṣalāĥ. This Ṣalāĥ is called Taĥajjud. It is Sunnaĥ to perform 8 Rak’ats, while the practice of the Mashāikh is to perform 12 Rak’ats. As for the recitation of the Holy Qurān in Taĥajjud, one may recite from any part or Sūraĥ of the Qurān. In the Rak’ats of Taĥajjud Ṣalāĥ, it is better to recite as much Quran as one has memorized. If one has memorized the whole Qurān by heart, he may complete the recitation of the whole Qurān in Taĥajjud within a minimum period of 3 days and a maximum period of 40 days.

One may also recite Sūraĥ Ikhlāṣ ( خالصاال ورة س ) three times in every Rak’at. By doing so, he will attain the Šawāb of reciting the whole Quran in each Rak’at.

The foregoing three invocations are not only tried and trusted but also very simple. One should not be heedless of them. Whenever you have a desire, recite each of the three invocations in the exact described number. Neither

Recite the foregoing three invocations daily in the given order unless the desire is fulfilled. If the desire is not so important, recite the first two invocations hundred times daily with Durūd thrice before and after the invocation.

Necessary Instructions

1. It is extremely necessary for every sane and adult Islamic brother and sister to offer five daily Ṣalāĥ regularly. For men, it is also Wājib to offer Ṣalāĥ with Jamā’at in Masjid. The abandoner of Ṣalāĥ is like a human-portrait that has an apparent human face but cannot carry out any act typical of humans. Remember! The one who never offers Ṣalāĥ is not the only abandoner of Ṣalāĥ; rather, the one who misses even one Ṣalāĥ deliberately is also an abandoner of Ṣalāĥ. Missing Ṣalāĥ out of job, employment, trade or any other busyness is ungratefulness and utter foolishness. No employer (even if he is a non-Muslim) can prevent his employees from offering Ṣalāĥ. If the employer doesn’t allow the employees to offer Ṣalāĥ, such sort of employment is absolutely Ḥarām. Remember! No means of livelihood can bring about blessings in sustenance by missing Ṣalāĥ. Sustenance is under the omnipotence of Allāĥ �� who has declared Ṣalāĥ Farḍ. The abandoners of Ṣalāĥ invite the wrath of Allāĥ �� .


27

2. Make a cautious estimation as to how many total Ṣalāĥ you have missed; even if the estimation includes more Ṣalāĥ than you actually missed, there is no harm in it but no missed Ṣalāĥ should be left out. Offer all these Ṣalāĥ gradually but as shortly as possible. Do not be lazy as the time of death is not known. No Nafl worship is accepted as long as the Farḍ worship is due. If there are a number of Qaḍā Ṣalāĥ to be offered, for example, hundred Fajr Qaḍā Ṣalāĥ are to be offered, make the following intention each time: “I am offering the very first Fajr that I missed.” Make similar intention for every missed Ṣalāĥ. Qaḍā of only Farḍ and Witr are offered. Therefore, total twenty Rak’ats of Qaḍā are offered per day.

3. Similarly, all the missed fasts have also to be kept before the arrival of the next Ramaḍān as a blessed Ḥadīš says that the fasts of the next Ramaḍān are not accepted unless the fasts of the previous Ramaḍān are offered.1

4. Those who possess wealth to the extent of the Niṣāb of Zakāt must pay their Zakāĥ subject to the conditions of Zakāĥ2. In case of not paying Zakāĥ for many years, make a calculation for the total amount of unpaid Zakāĥ and pay it forthwith. To delay in paying Zakāĥ after the completion of (lunar) year is a sin. Zakāĥ may also be

2 In order to get detail information, please go through the fifth volume of Baĥār-e-Sharī’at.


28

paid in small amounts from the commencement of the year. In this case, make a calculation to ensure that complete Zakāĥ has been paid by the end of the year. If some Zakāĥ is still unpaid, pay it instantly. If excess Zakāĥ has been paid, excess amount may be deducted from the Zakāĥ of the next year.

5. Ḥajj is also a chief Farḍ for the one capable of going for

Ḥajj. Allāĥ �� says in Sūraĥ Āl-e-‘Imrān (سورة آل عمران), Āyaĥ 97, regarding the obligation of Ḥajj:

Reminder

O Islamic brothers and sisters! Remember! When you were born, all were smiling but you were crying. Live such a life that everyone cries at your death but you smile.

If you keep on weeping sincerely in the remembrance of Allāĥ �� with your writhing heart in the grief of being far from the Beloved Rasūl ��# �0�� * �� ع�# *,��- �. ��2 �3 so, definitely at the time of death, you will be smiling by virtue of beholding and attaining the closeness of the beloved Prophet ��# �0�� * �� ع�# *,��- �. ��2 �3 whereas all others would be crying in the grief of your departure from the world.

Dear Islamic brothers and sisters! Remember the promise that you have made with Allāĥ �� via this sinner. Please make Du’ā for me as well that I always abide by all the Divine commandments sincerely and act upon Sunnaĥ till the end of my life.

O Islamic brothers and sisters! Don’t be heedless of your death. If you remember it, you will remain safe from destruction; your faith and religion will be secured, you will be blessed with acting upon Sunnaĥ and refraining from committing sins.

Don’t trust and fall in love with this disloyal world. You will be hunted down by death.

Recitation of Qurān

Great Auliyā of Allāĥ �� have said that the recitation of the Qurān is doubtlessly a tried and trusted invocation for the fulfilment of desires. Recite daily as much Qurān as you can do reverently. If you recite it according to the below-mentioned

method, �� !!" #� �� you will attain success soon. Start recitation on Jumu’aĥ (Friday) and complete it on Thursday.

Friday: From Sūraĥ Fātiḥaĥ (سورة الفاتح�) to the end of Sūraĥ

Māidaĥ ( ائدہسورة الم ).

Saturday: From Sūraĥ An’ām (سورة انعام) to the end of Sūraĥ

Taubaĥ ( وب�ت سورة ).

Sunday: From Sūraĥ Yūnus (سورة يونس) to the end of Sūraĥ

Maryam (سورة مريم).

Monday: From Sūraĥ Ṭāĥā ( سورة ط�) to the end of Sūraĥ

Qaṣaṣ ( صصسورة ق ).

Tuesday: From Sūraĥ ‘Ankabūt ( نکبوتسورة ع ) to the end of

Sūraĥ Ṣād ( سورة ص).

Recite in seclusion; avoid talking during recitation. For the achievement of every campaign and fulfilment of every task, recitation of complete Qurān for 12 consecutive times is believed to be the most effective invocation.

Durūd after Fajr, Ẓuĥr or ‘Aṣr on Friday. If one is alone anywhere, he should recite this Durūd alone. Likewise, Islamic sisters should recite this Durūd in their homes.

There are numerous virtues of reciting Durūd & Salām. Just a few are presented here. If a Muslim loving the Holy Prophet ��# �0�� * �� ع�# *,��- �. ��2 �3, considering him greater than everyone in the world by heart, staying away from his blasphemers and having resentment against them in heart, recites Durūd and Salām, he will attain innumerable blessings.

Islamic Sisters to Pay Attention

Dear Islamic sisters! It is obligatory for you to acquire necessary knowledge about your menstrual periods. Do go through the second part of “Baĥār-e-Sharī’at” or ask any other sister to read it out to you. Furthermore, in order to learn necessary rulings about Pardaĥ (Islamic veiling) read “Baĥār-e-Sharī’at”, Vol. 16, page 78-86. Some information regarding veil is mentioned below.

Sayyidatunā Umm-e-Salamaĥ ��7�+�� *,��- �. � �/�& narrates: Sayyidatunā Maīmūnaĥ ��7�+�� *,��- �. � �/�& and I were present in the court of the Beloved Rasūl �� # �0�� * �� ع�# *,��- �. ��2 �3 . (Meanwhile, a blind companion) Ḥaḍrat ‘Abdullāĥ Bin Umm-e-Maktūm ��+�� *,��- �. � �/�& arrived. The


35

beloved Rasūl ��# �0�� * �� ع�# *,��- �. ��2 �3 asked us to have veil. I said, “O Prophet of Allāĥ �� ع�# *,��- �. ��2 �3 ��# �0�� * , he is blind and will not be able to see us.” The beloved Rasūl ��# �0�� * �� ع�# *,��- �. ��2 �3 replied, “Are both of you also blind? Would you also not be able to see him?” (Jāmi’-e- Tirmiżī, Ḥadīš No. 2787, Vol. 4, page 356)

Dear Islamic sisters. The foregoing narration clarified that as it is mandatory for man not to see Nā-Maḥram woman, likewise, woman should also avoid seeing Nā-Maḥram man. However, there is a slight difference between a man’s looking at a Nā-Maḥram woman and a woman’s looking at a Nā-Maḥram man; if the woman is sure that she would not have lust in case of seeing so and so man, there is no harm for her, but if she has even doubt about having lust, she must not see him.

Some More Rulings

1. A woman must neither touch the body of a Nā-Maḥram man nor shake hands with him. She cannot even kiss the hands of her Murshid.

2. A woman should not throw away her hairs breaking while combing at a place where a Nā-Maḥram man can see them.

3. There is a command of Pardaĥ (Islamic veiling) between cousin brothers and sisters. Non-observance of Pardaĥ between brother-in-law (husband’s brother) and sister-in-law (brother’s wife) is a cause of destruction like death. (Mirāĥ)


36

4. Islamic sisters must not sit on terraces outside the house, nor peep through the windows as these acts may open the door of evils.

Dawat-e-Islami

Dear Islamic brothers and sisters! Dawat-e-Islami is a non-political movement for the preaching of Qurān and Sunnaĥ. You should make every possible co-operation to it physically, heartily and financially. Wherever Dawat-e-Islami’s weekly Ijtimā’ (congregations) are held, you should make an ardent effort to attend them. Likewise, wherever Dars of “Faīzān-e-Sunnat” is given, you should participate in it. The places where the Dars of “Faīzān-e-Sunnat” is not given, make arrangements for the commencement of daily Dars at such places. Every Islamic brother is strictly advised to travel with the Madanī Qāfilaĥ for at least three days every month.

Method of Delivering Dars

Say the following three times:

“Please come closer”

Then, taking veil within veil (double-covering), sit in folded leg position [as in Ṣalāĥ] and recite the following:

I make the intention of Sunnat I’tikāf.

Then say the following:

“My Dear Islamic Brothers! Come closer and, in respect of the Dars, sit in the folded leg position [as you sit in Ṣalāĥ]. If you get tired, then sit in any comfortable position. Lower your gaze and listen to the Dars from Faīzān-e-Sunnat with full concentration because listening to it inattentively looking here and there, playing on the floor with your finger or messing around with your clothes, body or hair may result in the removal of its blessings1.”

After saying this, read an excellence of Durūd from Faīzān-e-Sunnat.

1 Make similar persuasion in the commencement of Bayān (Speech) as well.

Thereafter, read this aloud so that all brothers would recite Durūd.

Thereafter, begin the Dars by reading from the book. Read out what is written in the book only. Read only the translation of Arabic text. Do not give your own explanation of any Quranic Āyaĥ or Ḥadīš, as it is Ḥarām to do so.

Make persuasion in the following words at the end of Dars

(Each Muballigh should memorize following paragraph by heart and make persuasion accordingly without any alteration at the end of Dars and Bayān).

By the Grace of Allāĥ �� , Sunnaĥs of the Holy Prophet ��# �0�� * �� ع�# *,��- �. ��2 �3 are abundantly learnt and taught in the Madanī Environment of Dawat-e-Islami, a global non-political movement for the preaching of Qurān and Sunnaĥ.

It is a Madanī request to spend the whole night in the weekly Sunnaĥ-inspiring Ijtimā’ commencing after Ṣalāt-ul-Maghrib every Thursday in your city. (In Bāb-ul-Madīnaĥ [Karachi], the Ijtimā’ is held at Faīzān-e-Madīnaĥ, Maḥallaĥ Saudagrān, Old Sabzī Manḋī). Habitualize yourself to a punctual travel in the Madanī Qāfilaĥ with the devotees of the Holy Prophet to learn the Sunnaĥ and fill out the Madanī In’āmāt booklet daily practicing Fikr-e-Madīnaĥ (Madanī Contemplation) and submit it to the Żimmaĥdār (relevant representative of Dawat-e-Islami)


39

of your locality. By the blessing of this, �� !!" #� �� you will develop a mindset and a yearning to protect your faith, adopt the Sunnaĥs and be averse to sins.

Every Islamic brother should develop the Madanī Mindset that

“I must strive to reform myself and people of the entire world

� � ��!!" #� �� .” In order to reform ourselves, we must act upon the Madanī In’āmāt and to reform people of the entire world we

must travel in the Madanī Qāfilaĥ1. � � ��!!" #� ��

Allāĥ �� karam aysā karay tujĥ pay jaĥān mayn

Aey Dawat-e-Islami terī dĥūm machī ĥo

May Allāĥ �� bless Dawat-e-Islami with such a grace!

That it becomes glorious at each and every place

Finally, with absolute humility and humbleness, make the following Du’ā conforming to the manners of raising hands without adding and leaving out anything:

Then read the following couplet:

In order to achieve maximum benefit from Dars, sit down and warmly meet everyone. Make some new Islamic brothers sit around you and explain to them the blessings of acting upon the Madanī In’āmāt and travelling with the Madanī Qāfilaĥ.

Tumĥayn aey Muballigh ye merī du’ā ĥay
