அல் அகீததுல் வாஸிதிய்யா விளக்கவுரை (தொடர்-2)
நூலாசிரியர் கூறுகின்றார்: அளவற்ற அருளாளனும் நிகரற்ற அன்புடையவனுமாகிய அல்லாஹ்வின் திருநாமத்தைக் கொண்டு ஆரம்பம் செய்கின்றேன்.
அல்குர்ஆனில் ஸூரதுல் பராஆ தவிர்ந்த ஏனைய அத்தியாயங்களின் ஆரம்பத்தில் பிஸ்மில் வந்திருப்பதையும் நபியவர்கள் பிஸ்மிலை முற்படுத்தி தனது மடல்களை எழுதுவதையும் கருத்தில் கொண்டும் இந்நூலாசிரியர் தனது நூலையும் இவ்வாசகத்தைக் கொண்டே ஆரம்பித்துள்ளார் எனக் கருதமுடியும்.
இவ்வார்த்தையில் இடம்பெற்றிருக்கக்கூடிய ‘ب’ வானது ‘உதவிதேடல்’ என்ற கருத்தில் பயன்படுத்தப்பட்டுள்ளது. அதன்படி இவ்வாசகத்தின் பொருளானது ‘ அல்லாஹ்வின் துணையுடன் எனது இந்தக் காரியத்தைத் துவங்குகின்றேன்’ என்று அமையும்.
மேலும், பிஸ்மிலில் இடம்பெற்றிருக்கும் ‘الله’ என்ற வார்த்தையானது பரிசுத்தமான, ஒருவனான எமது இறைவனைக் குறிக்கின்றது. இவ்வார்த்தை ‘أله’ என்ற வார்த்தையில் இருந்து பிறந்ததாகும். இவ்வார்த்தைக்கு ‘வணங்கப்பட்டான்’ என்று பொருள் கொள்ளப்படும். இதனடிப்படையில் ‘اله’ என்ற சொல்லின் பொருள் ‘வணங்கப்படுபவன்’ என்றாகும். எனவே, அல்லாஹ் வணங்கப்படுபவனாக உள்ளான்.
‘الرحيم’ இ ‘الرحمن’ என்பன அல்லாஹ்வின் திருநாமங்களில் உள்ளனவாகும். இவ்விருசொற்களும், ‘அவனது அந்தஸ்துக்குத்தக்கவிதத்தில் அவன் விசாலமான கிருபையுள்ளவனாக இருக்கின்றான்,’ என்ற கருத்தை உணர்த்துகின்றது. ஆயினும், இவ்விருவார்த்தைகளும் ஒரே கருத்தைக் கொண்டது போன்று விளங்கினாலும் இரண்டுக்கும் இடையில் வித்தியாசம் உள்ளது. ‘الرحمن’ என்பது, ‘அனைத்துப்படைப்பினங்கள் மீதும் கிருபையுள்ளவன்’ என்றும் ‘الرحيم’ என்பது, ‘முஃமீன்களுடன் மாத்திரம் கிருபையுள்ளவன்’ என்றும் வேறுபட்ட இரு விளக்கங்களைக் கொடுக்கின்றன. அதிலும் ‘الرحيم’ என்ற வார்த்தை முஃமின்களுடனான தனியான அன்பைப் பிரதிபளிக்கின்றது. இது குறித்து அல்லாஹூத்தஆலா கூறுகையில்:
‘மேலும், அல்லாஹ் விசுவாசி(களாகிய உங்)கள் மீது மிக்க கிருபையுடையோனாக இருக்கின்றான்.’ (அஹ்ஜாப்: 43)
இமாமவர்கள் தனது நூலின் துவக்கத்தை அல்லாஹ்வைத் துதி செய்து, இரு சாட்சிகளையும் கூறி, நபியவர்கள் மீது ஸலாத்தையும் ஸலாமையும் காணிக்கையாக்கி அமைத்துள்ளார்கள். அதன் தமிழ் வடிவம் பின்வருமாறு:
எல்லாப் புகழும் அல்லாஹூத்தஆலாவுக்கே! அவன் எத்தகையவனென்றால் தன்னுடைய தூதரை நேர்வழியைக்கொண்டும், சத்திய மார்க்கத்தைக்கொண்டும் அனுப்பி வைத்தான், சகல மார்க்கங்களையும் விட அதை மேலோங்கச் செய்வதற்காக (தன் தூதரை அனுப்பி வைத்தான்); இன்னும், (இதற்கு) சாட்சியாக இருக்க அல்லாஹ்; போதுமானவன். –அல்பத்ஹ்:28 – நிச்சயமாக அல்லாஹ்வைத்தவிர வேறு கடவுள் இல்லை என்றும், அவன் தனித்தவன், அவனுக்கு எவ்வித இணையுமில்லை என்பதை உறுதிப்படுத்தியவனாகவும் ஒருமைப்படுத்தியவனாகவும் நான் சாட்சி கூறுகின்றேன். மேலும், நிச்சயமாக முஹம்மத் நபி (ஸல்) அவர்கள் அவனுடைய அடியானும் திருத்தூதருமாவார் என்றும் சாட்சி சொல்கின்றேன். அல்லாஹ் அவர் மீதும் அவரது குடும்பத்தினர் மீதும் மென்மேலும் ஸலாத்தையும் ஸலாமையும் சொல்வானாக.
‘ஹிதாயத்’ என்ற வார்த்தை இரு கருத்துக்களில் பயன்படுத்தப்படும்:
1. ‘அத்தலாலா வல்பயான்’
2. ‘அத்தவ்பீக் வல் இல்ஹாம்’
‘அத்தலாலா வல்பயான்’ என்பது, நேர்வழியை தெளிவுபடுத்தும் பணியாகும். இப்பணியை நபியவர்கள் மேற்கொள்வார்கள். இதனை அல்லாஹூத்தஆலா பின்வரும் திருக்குர்ஆன் வசனத்தில் பிரஸ்தாபிக்கின்றான்.
(நபியே!) நிச்சயமாக நீர் (மனிதர்களுக்கு) நேரான வழியின் பால் வழிகாட்டுவீர். (அஷ்ஷூரா:52)
‘அத்தவ்பீக் வல் இல்ஹாம்’ என்பது, நேர்வழியை வழங்கும் பணியாகும். இப்பணியை அல்லாஹூத்தஆலாவைத் தவிர வேறு எவராலும் செய்ய முடியாது. இது குறித்து அல்லாஹூத்தஆலா பின்வருமாறு கூறுகின்றான்.
(நபியே!) நிச்சயமாக நீர் விரும்பியோரை நேர் வழியில் செலுத்திவிடமாட்டீர், எனினும் அல்லாஹ் தான் நாடியோரையே நேர் வழியில் செலுத்துகின்றான். மேலும், நேர்வழி பெறுகிறவர்களை அவனே மிக அறிந்தவன். (அல்கஸஸ்: 56)
(1) பொருள்: அடுத்து, இது மறுமை நாள்வரை வெற்றி மற்றும் உதவி பெறக்கூடிய கூட்டத்தின் கொள்கையாகும்.
(2) விளக்கம்:
(أما بعد) இவ்வாசகமானது ஒரு விடயத்திலிருந்து மற்றொரு விடயத்திற்கு நகரும் போது உபயோகிக்கப்படும்;. நபியவர்களின் வழிமுறை என்ற அடிப்படையில் இவ்வாசகத்தை அழைப்புப் பணியில் ஈடுபடக்கூடிய அனைவரும் உபயோகிப்பது கடமையாகும்.
(فهذا) இவ்வாசகத்தின் மூலம், இந்நூலில் இடம்பெற்றிருக்கக்கூடிய அனைத்து அகீதா சார்ந்த அம்சங்களும் நாடப்படுகின்றன.
(اعتقاد) இச்சொல் اعتقد என்ற மூலச் சொல்லில் இருந்து பிறந்ததாகும். اعتقد என்பது ஒரு விடயத்தை கொள்கையாக – அகீதா – எடுத்துக் கொள்வதாகும். எனவே, அகீதா என்பது, ‘ஒருவர் ஒரு விடயத்தை மனதால் ஏற்றுக் கொள்ளல்’ என்ற மையக்கருத்தை உணர்த்துகின்றது. இவ்வார்த்தையின் மூலச் சொல் கயிற்றால் ஒரு பொருளை பிணைத்துக் கட்டுவதற்குப் பயன்படுத்தப்பட்டது. பின்பு இதே வாசகம் ஒரு விடயத்தை உள்ளத்தால் உறுதியாக நம்புவதற்குப் பயன்படுத்தப்பட்டது.
(الفرقة) கூட்டம், அமைப்பு என்ற கருத்தில் பயன்படுத்தப்பட்டுள்ளது.
(الناجية) இப்பண்பானது இன்பங்கள் பல பெற்று இன்மையிலும் மறுமையிலும் அழிவு, மற்றும் தீங்குகளை விட்டும் ஈடேற்றம் பெற்ற ஒரு கூட்டத்தைக் குறிக்கின்றது. மேலும், இப்பண்பானது புகாரி, முஸ்லிம் ஆகிய கிரந்தங்களில் இடம்பெற்றுள்ள ஒரு ஹதீஸில் இருந்து பெறப்பட்டதாகும். அந்த செய்தியின் தமிழ் வடிவமானது, ‘என்னுடைய உம்மத்தில் ஒரு கூட்டம் உதவி பெறும் நிலையில் உண்மையில் நிலைத்திருப்பார்கள். அல்லாஹூத்தஆலாவின் (மறுமை தொடர்பான) கட்டளை அவர்களுக்கு மத்தியில் வரும் வரை உதவி புரியாது விட்டுவிட்டவர்களினால் எவ்விதத் தீங்கும் இழைக்க முடியாது.
(المنصورة) அதாவது, இக்கூட்டத்தினருக்கு மாறு செய்பவர்களைவிட்டும் உறுதிப்படுத்தப்பட்ட ஒரு கூட்டமாக இருக்கும் என்ற கருத்தைக் கொடுக்கின்றது. இத்தகைய பல சிறப்பியல்புகளைத் தன்னகத்தே கொண்ட கூட்டம் எது? என்ற விடயத்தில் அறிஞர்களுக்கு மத்தியில் பலவாறான கருத்துக்கள் காணப்படுகின்றன. அந்த அடிப்படையில் பின்வரும் கூற்றுக்களை உங்கள் கவனத்திற்குக் கொண்டுவருகின்றேன்.
- அக்கூட்டமானது அஹ்லுல் ஹதீஸினரைக் குறிக்கின்றது : இக்கருத்தை அறிஞர்களான யஸீத் இப்னு ஹாரூன், அஹ்மத் இப்னு ஹன்பல், இப்னுல் முபாரக், அலீ இப்னு மதீனி, அஹ்மத் இப்னு ஸினான், புகாரி (ரஹ்) போன்றோர் கூறுகின்றனர்.
- அக்கூட்டமானது அரேபியர்களைக் குறிக்கின்றது : இக்கருத்தை இப்னு மதீனி (ரஹ்) அவர்கள் பிறிதோர் அறிவிப்பில் கூறியுள்ளார்.

Learn about DNSChanger malware and how it can affect your computer
Check your computer’s DNS settings
Register as a victim of the DNSChanger malware
Update on March 12, 2012: To assist victims affected by the DNSChanger malicious software, the FBI obtained a court order authorizing the Internet Systems Consortium (ISC) to deploy and maintain temporary clean DNS servers. This solution is temporary, providing additional time for victims to clean affected computers and restore their normal DNS settings. The clean DNS servers will be turned off on July 9, 2012, and computers still impacted by DNSChanger may lose Internet connectivity at that time.
Operation Ghost Click
International Cyber Ring That Infected Millions of Computers Dismantled
11/09/11
Six Estonian nationals have been arrested and charged with running a sophisticated Internet fraud ring that infected millions of computers worldwide with a virus and enabled the thieves to manipulate the multi-billion-dollar Internet advertising industry. Users of infected machines were unaware that their computers had been compromised—or that the malicious software rendered their machines vulnerable to a host of other viruses.
Details of the two-year FBI investigation called Operation Ghost Click were announced today in New York when a federal indictment was unsealed. Officials also described their efforts to make sure infected users’ Internet access would not be disrupted as a result of the operation.
FBI Statement:
Janice Fedarcyk, New York
Assistant Director in Charge
“Today, with the flip of a switch, the FBI and our partners dismantled the Rove criminal enterprise. Thanks to the collective effort across the U.S. and in Estonia, six leaders of the criminal enterprise have been arrested and numerous servers operated by the criminal organization have been disabled. Additionally, thanks to a coordinated effort of trusted industry partners, a mitigation plan commenced today, beginning with the replacement of rogue DNS servers with clean DNS servers to keep millions online, while providing ISPs the opportunity to coordinate user remediation efforts.” More
The indictment, said Janice Fedarcyk, assistant director in charge of our New York office, “describes an intricate international conspiracy conceived and carried out by sophisticated criminals.” She added, “The harm inflicted by the defendants was not merely a matter of reaping illegitimate income.”
Beginning in 2007, the cyber ring used a class of malware called DNSChanger to infect approximately 4 million computers in more than 100 countries. There were about 500,000 infections in the U.S., including computers belonging to individuals, businesses, and government agencies such as NASA. The thieves were able to manipulate Internet advertising to generate at least $14 million in illicit fees. In some cases, the malware had the additional effect of preventing users’ anti-virus software and operating systems from updating, thereby exposing infected machines to even more malicious software.
“They were organized and operating as a traditional business but profiting illegally as the result of the malware,” said one of our cyber agents who worked the case. “There was a level of complexity here that we haven’t seen before.”
DNS—Domain Name System—is a critical Internet service that converts user-friendly domain names, such as www.fbi.gov, into numerical addresses that allow computers to talk to each other. Without DNS and the DNS servers operated by Internet service providers, computer users would not be able to browse websites or send e-mail.
Success Through Partnerships
A complex international investigation such as Operation Ghost Click could only have been successful through the strong working relationships between law enforcement, private industry, and our international partners.
Announcing today’s arrests, Preet Bharara, (above left) U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, praised the investigative work of the FBI, NASA’s Office of Inspector General (OIG), the Estonian Police and Border Guard Board, and he specially thanked the National High Tech Crime Unit of the Dutch National Police Agency. In addition, the FBI and NASA-OIG received assistance from multiple domestic and international private sector partners, including Georgia Tech University, Internet Systems Consortium, Mandiant, National Cyber-Forensics and Training Alliance, Neustar, Spamhaus, Team Cymru, Trend Micro, University of Alabama at Birmingham, and members of an ad hoc group of subject matter experts known as the DNS Changer Working Group (DCWG).
DNSChanger was used to redirect unsuspecting users to rogue servers controlled by the cyber thieves, allowing them to manipulate users’ web activity. When users of infected computers clicked on the link for the official website of iTunes, for example, they were instead taken to a website for a business unaffiliated with Apple Inc. that purported to sell Apple software. Not only did the cyber thieves make money from these schemes, they deprived legitimate website operators and advertisers of substantial revenue.
The six cyber criminals were taken into custody yesterday in Estonia by local authorities, and the U.S. will seek to extradite them. In conjunction with the arrests, U.S. authorities seized computers and rogue DNS servers at various locations. As part of a federal court order, the rogue DNS servers have been replaced with legitimate servers in the hopes that users who were infected will not have their Internet access disrupted.
It is important to note that the replacement servers will not remove the DNSChanger malware—or other viruses it may have facilitated—from infected computers. Users who believe their computers may be infected should contact a computer professional. They can also find additional information in the links on this page, including how to register as a victim of the DNSChanger malware. And the FBI’s Office for Victim Assistance will provide case updates periodically at 877-236-8947.

A Very Good Management Lesson......
The Cow And The Horse!!!
There was a farmer who had a horse and a Cow…..
One day, the horse became ill and he called the veterinarian,
who said:
- Well, your horse has a virus.
He must take this medicine for three days.
I'll come back on the 3rd day and if he's not better,
we're going to have to put him down.
Nearby, the Cow listened closely to their conversation.
The next day, they gave him the medicine and left.
The Cow approached the horse and said:
- Be strong, my friend.
Get up or else they're going to put you to sleep!
On the second day, they gave him the medicine and left.
The Cow came back and said:
- Come on buddy, get up or else you're going to die!
Come on, I'll help you get up.
Let's go! One, two, three...
On the third day, they came to give him the medicine
and the vet said:
- Unfortunately, we're going to have to put him down tomorrow.
Otherwise, the virus might spread and infect the other horses.
After they left, the Cow approached the horse and said:
- Listen pal, it's now or never!
Get up, come on! Have courage!
Come on! Get up! Get up!
That's it, slowly! Great!
Come on, one, two, three... Good, good.
Now faster, come on.... Fantastic! Run, run more!
Yes! Yay! Yes! You did it, you're a champion!!!
All of a sudden, the owner came back,
saw the horse running in the
field and began shouting:
- It's a miracle! My horse is cured.
We must have a grand party. Let's kill the Cow !!!!
The Lesson: this often happens in the workplace.
Nobody truly knows which employee actually deserves
the merit of success,
or who's actually contributing the necessary support
to make things happen.
Remember………
LEARNING TO LIVE WITHOUT RECOGNITION IS A SKILL!!!!
If anyone ever tells you that your work
is unprofessional, remember:
Amateurs built the Ark [which saved all the species]
and professionals built the Titanic [all died tragically]
DON'T LOOK TO BECOME A PERSON OF SUCCESS,
LOOK INSTEAD TO BECOME
A PERSON OF VALUES!

Laylatul-Bara'ah
Sha'ban consists of a night which is termed in Shariah as "Laylatul-bara'ah" (The night of freedom from Fire). This is the night occurring between 14th and 15th day of Sha'ban. There are certain traditions of Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, to prove that it is a meritorious night in which the people of the earth are attended by special Divine mercy. Some of these traditions are quoted as follows:
1. Ummul-Mu'mineen 'Aishah, Radi-Allahu anha, is reported to have said, "Once Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, performed the Salah of the night (Tahajjud) and made a very long Sajdah until I feared that he had passed away. When I saw this, I rose (from my bed) and moved his thumb (to ascertain whether he is alive). The thumb moved, and I returned (to my place). Then I heard him saying in Sajdah: 'I seek refuge of Your forgiveness from Your punishment, and I seek refuge of Your pleasure from Your annoyance, and I seek Your refuge from Yourself. I cannot praise You as fully as You deserve. You are exactly as You have defined Yourself.' Thereafter, when he raised his head from Sajdah and finished his salah, he said to me: 'Aishah, did you think that the Prophet has betrayed you?' I said, 'No, O Prophet of Allah, but I was afraid that your soul has been taken away because your Sajdah was very long.' He asked me, 'Do you know which night is this?' I said, 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said, 'This is the night of the half of Sha'ban. Allah Almighty looks upon His slaves in this night and forgives those who seek forgiveness and bestows His mercy upon those who pray for mercy but keeps those who have malice (against a Muslim) as they were before, (and does not forgive them unless they relieve themselves from malice).'"
2. In another Tradition Sayyidah' Aishah, Radi-Allahu anha, has reported that Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, has said, "Allah Almighty descends (in a manner He best knows it) in the night occurring in the middle of Sha'ban and forgives a large number of people more than the number of the fibers on the sheep of the tribe, Kalb."
Kalb was a big tribe the members of which had a very large number of sheep. Therefore, the last sentence of the hadith indicates the big number of the people who are forgiven in this night by Allah Almighty.
3. In yet another Tradition, she has reported Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, to have said, "This is the middle Night of Sha'ban. Allah frees in it a large number of the people from Fire, more than the number of the hair growing on the sheep of the tribe, Kalb. But He does not even look at a person who associates partners with Allah, or at a person who nourishes malice in his heart (against someone), or at a person who cuts off the ties of kinship, or at a man who leaves his clothes extending beyond his ankles (as a sign of pride), or at a person who disobeys his parents, or at a person who has a habit of drinking wine."
4. Sayyidna Mu'adh ibn Jabal, Radi-Allahu anhu, reports that Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, has said: "Allah Almighty looks upon all those created by Him in the middle Night of Sha'ban and forgives all those created by Him, except the one who associates partners with Him or the one who has malice in his heart (against a Muslim)".
Although the chain of narrators of some of these traditions suffers with some minor technical defects, yet when all these traditions are combined together, it becomes clear that this night has some well founded merits, and observing this night as a sacred night is not a baseless concoction as envisaged by some modern scholars who, on the basis of these minor defects, have totally rejected to give any special importance to this night. In fact, some of these traditions have been held by some scholars of hadith as authentic and the defects in the chain of some others have been treated by them as minor technical defects which, according to the science of hadith, are curable by the variety of their ways of narration. That is why the elders of the ummah have constantly been observing this night as a night of special merits and have been spending it in worship and prayers.
What Should be Done in this Night?
In order to observe the Night of Bara'ah, one should remain awakened in this night as much as he can. If someone has better opportunities, he should spend the whole night in worship and prayer. However, if one cannot do so for one reason or another, he can select a considerable portion of the night, preferably of the second half of it for this purpose, and should perform the following acts of worship:
(a) Salah. Salah is the most preferable act to be performed in this night. There is no particular number of Rak'at but preferably it should not be less than eight. It is also advisable that each part of the Salah like qiyam, rukoo' and sajdah should be longer than normal. The longest surahs of the Holy Qur'an one remembers by heart should be recited in the Salah of this night. If someone does not remember the long surahs, he can also recite several short surahs in one rak'ah.
Salaatul Tasbeeh is perhaps the most famous Salaat performed on auspicious nights. This is how you perform it.
Incase you can't read/see/understand the above The Tasbih to be read in Salaat-Ul-Tasbeeh:
" Subhaan Allahi Wal Hamdulillahi Wa Laa ilaha illal Laahu Wallahu Akbar "
Method:
Goal is to recite above Tasbih 300 times in Four Rakah with the following method.
1. In the first rakaat, after reading Sana "Subhaana Kallahumma...", read the above tasbih 15 times.
2. Now recite Aaoz "Aoozubillah...", Bismillah "Bismillah...", Then read sura Fatiha and a Surah or minimum of three small Ayayhs
Now read the tasbih 10 times again.
3. Go to ruku saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar), after reciting "Subhaana Rabbiyal Azeem" minimum of three times. Then read the tasbih 10 times in Ruku.
4. Saying "Samee Allahu Liman Hamidah Rabbana Lakal Hamdh" get up from ruku to qiyam (standing) position.
Now read the tasbih 10 times.
5. Go to Sajdah saying Takbeer (Allah Hu Akbar) and after reciting "Subhaana Rabbiyal A'la" minimum of three times
Now read the tasbih 10 times in Sajdah.
6. Now go after first Sajdah go to Jalsa (sitting position) saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar).
Sitting in Jalsa read tasbih 10 times.
7. Go to sajda again saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar) and after reciting "Subhaana Rabbiyal A'la" minimum of three times
Now read the tasbih 10 times in Sajdah again.
8. Get up to begin 2nd rakat saying Takbeer (Allah Hu Akbar).
9. Do rakah #2 in same fashion, but before reading Bismillah "Bismillah...", and Surah Fatiha, read the tasbih 15 times. Follow the rest as you did in first Rakat.
10. After second Sajdah of Second Rakat sit in Qaidah Oola (first sitting) read Attahiyat, Durood and Dua then get up for 3rd rakaat without saying Salam.
11. Begin third Rakat, just like the first Rakat, with Sana "Subhaana Kallahumma...", read the above tasbih 15 times. Follow the rest as you did in first Rakat untill you sit for Qaidah Akihra (last sitting) after second sajdah of fourth Rakah.
In Qaidah Akihra Attahiyat, Durood, Dua finish Salah with Salam.
Special notes for Salat-Ul-Tasbih:
1) Do not count loudly. It will break Salah
2) Do not count on fingers or by holding a Bead Tasbih in hand. It is Makruh.
3) You may count by pressing the fingers as a reminder. For example if you are in Ruku. You me press pinky of your right hand first for the first count, then the finger next to it for second count, then the middle finger for third count, following this method untill you reach the pinky of left hand will give you an exact count of ten. Use the same method in Qayam, Sajdah and Jalsa.
4) If missed a count then make it up in the next posture. For example if forgot to recite Tasbih after Surah in Qayam. Then you may recite Tasbish 20 times instead of 10 in Rukuh after "Subhaana Rabbiyal Azeem". Missed Tasbih cannot be recited in Qayam after ruku and Jalsa between Sajdah. If you missed the Tasbih in Ruku then recite 20 in the first Sajdah instead of the Qayam after rukuh. Similarly if missed the Tasbih in first Sajdah then do not make it up in Jalsa. Instead recite missed tasbih in the second Sajdah. If Tasbih has been missed in last sajdah of second or fourth Rakah then you can recite the missed ones before Attahiyat in Qaidah.
5) If you miss a wajib in Salah and have to do Sajdah Sahaw. You dont have to recite Tasbih in Sajdah sahoo, since the 300 count has been estalished. But if you had missed Tasbih in any of the postures and remeber it now. Then you may recite the missed Tasbih in Sajdah Sahaw now.
6) It is preferable to recite after Surah Fatiha Sura Takathuur in the first raka’, Surah Wal A’sr in the second raka’, Surah Kaferoon (qul ya aiyuhal Kafiroon) in the third and Surah Ikhlas (Qul hu Allah-hu ahd) in the fourth raka’. If one does not remember these surah they can recite the ones they prefer.
(b) Tilawa. The recitation of the Holy Qur'an is another form of worship, very beneficent in this night. After performing Salah, or at any other time, one should recite as much of the Holy Qur'an as he can.
(c) Dhikr. One should also perform dhikr (recitation of the name of Allah) in this night. Particularly Qalbi Zikr. (Learn about it using the links above)
One should recite Salah (durood) on Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, as many times as one can. The dhikr can also be recited while walking, lying on bed and during other hours of work or leisure.
(d) Dua. The best benefit one can draw from the blessings of this night is prayers and supplications. It is hoped that all the prayers in this night will be accepted by our Lord, insha-Allah. Prayer itself is an 'Ibadah, and Allah Almighty gives reward on each prayer along with the fulfillment of the supplicator's need. Even if the purpose prayed for is not achieved, one cannot be deprived of the reward of the prayer which is sometimes more precious than the mundane benefits one strives for. The prayers and supplications also strengthen one's relation with Allah Almighty, which is the main purpose of all kinds and forms of worship.
One can pray for whatever purpose he wishes. But the best supplications are the ones made by Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam. These are so comprehensive and all-encompassing prayers that all the human needs, of this world and the Hereafter, are fully covered in the eloquent expressions used in them. Actually, most of the prophetic prayers are so profound that human imagination can hardly match their greatness.
Several books in various languages are available which provide these prophetic prayers, and one should pray to Allah Almighty in accordance with them, whether by reciting their original Arabic text or by rendering their sense in one's own language.
(e) There are some people who cannot perform any additional Salah or recitations for any reason, like illness or weakness or being engaged in some other necessary activities. Such people also should not deprive themselves completely of the blessings of this night. They should observe the following acts:
(i) To perform the Salah of Maghrib, 'Isha' and Fajr with Jama'ah in the mosque, or in their homes in case of their being sick.
(ii) They should keep reciting the dhikr, particularly the one mentioned in para (c) above, in whatever condition they are until they sleep.
(iii) They should pray to Allah for their forgiveness and for their other objectives. One can do so even when he is in his bed.
(f) The women during their periods cannot perform salah, nor can they recite the Qur'an, but they can recite any dhikr, tasbeeh, durood sharif and can pray to Allah for whatever purpose they like in whatever language they wish. They can also recite the Arabic prayers mentioned in the Qur'an or in the hadith with the intention of supplication (and not with the intention of recitation).
(g) According to a hadith, which is relatively less authentic, Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, went in this night to the graveyard of Baqi' where he prayed for the Muslims buried there. On this basis, some of the fuqaha hold it as mustahabb (advisable) in this night to go to the graveyard of the Muslims and recite Fatihah or any other part of the Qur'an, and pray for the dead. But this act is neither obligatory nor should it be performed as regularly as an obligatory act.
Fast of the 15th Sha'ban
On the day immediately following the Night of Bara'ah, i.e. the 15th of Sha'ban, it is mustahabb (advisable) to keep fast. Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, is reported to have recommended this fast emphatically. Although the scholars of hadith have some doubts in the authenticity of this report, yet it is mentioned earlier that the fasts of the first half of Sha'ban have special merits and Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, used to fast most of the days in Sha'ban. Moreover, a large number of the elders (salaf) of the Ummah have been observing the fast of the 15th of Sha'ban. This constant practice indicates that they have accepted the relevant hadith as authentic.
Therefore, it is advisable to fast the 15th of Sha'ban as an optional (nafl) fast. One can also keep a fast of qada on this day and it is hoped that he can also benefit from the merits of this fast.
What to Recite immediately after Sunset
After sunset, you should recite "La Hawla walaa Quwwata illa Billahil-aliyil
Azeem" forty times with three times Durood Shareef before and after. It is
mentioned that by reciting this, Almighty Allah will forgive forty years of
your sins and forty Hoors will await to serve you in Jannat al-Firdous.
Countless Mercies
Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Salla Allahu alayhi wa Sallam) has stated: "Verily!
Almighty Allah directs His Special Grace on the world on this Night. He
forgives my Ummah more than the number of wool that is found on the
sheep of the Bani Kalb". We should remember that in those days the Bani
Kalb possessed the most number of sheep that any other tribe.
Visit to the Cemetery
Hadrat Ayesha Siddiqa (radi Allahu ta'ala anha) reports: "One night, which
was the 15th of Shabaan, I did not find the Beloved Prophet (Salla Allahu
ta'ala alayhi wa Sallam) in the house so I went in search of him. After a long
search, I found him in Baqiah (the cemetery of Madinah) offering Du'a for
the deceased and praying for their forgiveness". (Baihaqi)
A special point must be made to visit the cemetery during this night and
pray for the deceased buried therein, as the Most Beloved Prophet (Salla
Allahu alayhi wa Sallam) is been reported as having visited the cemetery
on this night and spending a long time therein, lamenting, reading and
praying for the deceased.
To keep Fast
According to the Hadith Shareef which is narrated by Ibne Habaan (radi
Allahu ta'ala anhu) that Rasoolullah (Salla Allahu ta'ala alayhi wa Sallam)
said: "When the night of 15th Shabaan arrives spend the night awake and
keep fast the next day".
Hadrat Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu ta'ala anhu) reports that the Most
Beloved (salla Allahu alayhi wa Sallam) of Allah ta'ala said often in his
Khutba (sermon): "O people! Lighten and cleanse your bodies by way of
fasting during Shabaan, so that it shall be easy and helpful to you for the
fast during Ramadan. Whoso fasts for three days during Shabaan, all his
past sins are wiped off". (Baihaqi) Fasting is also recommended on the 13th,
14th and 15th of Shabaan.
70 Worldly needs fulfilled
It is also mentioned that if one reads Surah Dukhan (Surah 44) seven times on this night, Almighty Allah will reward you with 70 worldly needs and 70 deeds for the Hereafter. (Surah Dukhan is only a few pages by the way)
Do not be amongst deprived of Mercy
Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Salla Allahu ta'ala alayhi wa Sallam) said: "Almighty
Allah forgives all Muslims on this night, besides the fortune tellers, the
magicians, the alcoholics, those who disrespect their parents and those
who take part and encourage adultery".
In another narration, the following people have also been mentioned:
1. One who deals in usury (Riba),
2. One who wears his trousers below his ankle with pride and arrogance
(In Arabia, people displayed their wealth and boasted in this manner),
3. One who creates disunity among two Muslims,
4. The person who unjustly takes away the right and property of another
Muslim and has not yet rectified himself.
All these persons are not shown Mercy on this auspicious Night.
A humble appeal to seek pardon and ask Allah's forgiveness
Dear Muslim brothers, the Bountiful Allah in His Infinite Mercy has
provided us with such an auspicious night so that we may take advantage
of it and repent for our sins,and thus obtain His Grace and Favour. It is for
us to take full advantage of it. During this night, offer special prayers and
repent sincerely for our past sins and ask for His Forgiveness.
Also on this night the Doors of Mercy and Forgiveness are opened wide,
and those who sincerely grieve over and repent for their past sins and seek
forgiveness from Allah are pardoned and forgiven by the Grace of Allah the
Merciful.
Each Tasbih or Du'a should begin and terminate with the recital of Durood
Shareef and one who wishes for the acceptance of his Du'as should use the
Wasila of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Salla Allahu ta'ala alyhi wa Sallam).
Hadrat Ghawth al-A'zam, Shaykh Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani (radi Allahu anhu)
has mentioned in his famous"Gunyat-ut Talibeen" that the month of Shaban
according to some narrations is related to Rasoolullah (salla Allahu alayhi
wa Sallam). So, it is our duty, as the Ummat of Rasoolullah (Salla Allahu
ta'ala alayhi wa Sallam) to love and respect this month more than any other
month (besides Ramadan). We should also offer abundantly salutations
(Salaat-o-Salaam) upon the Most Beloved Prophet (Salla Allahu ta'ala alayhi
wa Sallam).
While we are praying and asking for ourselves and family, we should also
remember in our Du'as the Muslim Ummah facing calamities in many parts
of the world, that may Allah Ta'ala grant them the strength and Istiqaamat
(steadfastness) in Deen. Those weak Muslims who are under pressure from
the West and modernisation, may Allah Ta'ala guide them and show them
the right path so that they be in touch with their glorious past. Aameen.
May Almighty Allah guide us on the path of the Ambiya and the Awliya.
Aameen.

SUPPLICATION ON THE NIGHT OF 15th SHA'BAN
O Allah! You shower favours on everyone
And no one can do You any favour.
O The Possessor of Majesty and Honour,
O The Distributor of bounty and rewards,
There is no one worthy of worship except You.
You help the fallen
And provide refuge to the refugees And give peace to those who are in fear.
O Allah! If in the Mother of All Books that is with You
You have written me down as someone who is
Doubtful of achieving salvation, or deprived,
Or rejected or without enough sustenance,
Then, O Allah, with Your Grace
Remove all of these misfortunes from me
and in the Mother of All Books that is with You,
establish me as someone who is
blessed, with abundant provision and charitable good deeds.
Indeed, what You said in The Book You sent
Through the tongue of Your Blessed Prophet is true
That Allah changes and establishes what He wants
And with Him is the Mother of All Books.
O My Lord! For the sake of Your Divine Manifestation
On this fifteenth night of the blessed month of Sha'ban
In which You issue all Wise and Irrevocable Decrees
Remove from us all calamities and hardships,
those that we know about as well as those that we don't,
while You know everything.
Truly, You are the Most Powerful, Most Generous.
And may Allah the Exalted shower blessings and peace on
Sayyidina Muhammad, and on his family and his companions
And all praise is for Allah, Lord of the worlds.
Still reading?? You obviously have an absolute craving to do something important tonight or you have a desperate need that you really want Allah (swt) to fulfil..
either way I think you really need to take a look at the Khatm-e-Khawajgan:
Khatm-e-Khawajgan (File Size: 60kb)
It'll be a night you won't forget.
Sha'ban consists of a night which is termed in Shariah as "Laylatul-bara'ah" (The night of freedom from Fire). This is the night occurring between 14th and 15th day of Sha'ban. There are certain traditions of Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, to prove that it is a meritorious night in which the people of the earth are attended by special Divine mercy. Some of these traditions are quoted as follows:
1. Ummul-Mu'mineen 'Aishah, Radi-Allahu anha, is reported to have said, "Once Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, performed the Salah of the night (Tahajjud) and made a very long Sajdah until I feared that he had passed away. When I saw this, I rose (from my bed) and moved his thumb (to ascertain whether he is alive). The thumb moved, and I returned (to my place). Then I heard him saying in Sajdah: 'I seek refuge of Your forgiveness from Your punishment, and I seek refuge of Your pleasure from Your annoyance, and I seek Your refuge from Yourself. I cannot praise You as fully as You deserve. You are exactly as You have defined Yourself.' Thereafter, when he raised his head from Sajdah and finished his salah, he said to me: 'Aishah, did you think that the Prophet has betrayed you?' I said, 'No, O Prophet of Allah, but I was afraid that your soul has been taken away because your Sajdah was very long.' He asked me, 'Do you know which night is this?' I said, 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said, 'This is the night of the half of Sha'ban. Allah Almighty looks upon His slaves in this night and forgives those who seek forgiveness and bestows His mercy upon those who pray for mercy but keeps those who have malice (against a Muslim) as they were before, (and does not forgive them unless they relieve themselves from malice).'"
2. In another Tradition Sayyidah' Aishah, Radi-Allahu anha, has reported that Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, has said, "Allah Almighty descends (in a manner He best knows it) in the night occurring in the middle of Sha'ban and forgives a large number of people more than the number of the fibers on the sheep of the tribe, Kalb."
Kalb was a big tribe the members of which had a very large number of sheep. Therefore, the last sentence of the hadith indicates the big number of the people who are forgiven in this night by Allah Almighty.
3. In yet another Tradition, she has reported Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, to have said, "This is the middle Night of Sha'ban. Allah frees in it a large number of the people from Fire, more than the number of the hair growing on the sheep of the tribe, Kalb. But He does not even look at a person who associates partners with Allah, or at a person who nourishes malice in his heart (against someone), or at a person who cuts off the ties of kinship, or at a man who leaves his clothes extending beyond his ankles (as a sign of pride), or at a person who disobeys his parents, or at a person who has a habit of drinking wine."
4. Sayyidna Mu'adh ibn Jabal, Radi-Allahu anhu, reports that Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, has said: "Allah Almighty looks upon all those created by Him in the middle Night of Sha'ban and forgives all those created by Him, except the one who associates partners with Him or the one who has malice in his heart (against a Muslim)".
Although the chain of narrators of some of these traditions suffers with some minor technical defects, yet when all these traditions are combined together, it becomes clear that this night has some well founded merits, and observing this night as a sacred night is not a baseless concoction as envisaged by some modern scholars who, on the basis of these minor defects, have totally rejected to give any special importance to this night. In fact, some of these traditions have been held by some scholars of hadith as authentic and the defects in the chain of some others have been treated by them as minor technical defects which, according to the science of hadith, are curable by the variety of their ways of narration. That is why the elders of the ummah have constantly been observing this night as a night of special merits and have been spending it in worship and prayers.
What Should be Done in this Night?
In order to observe the Night of Bara'ah, one should remain awakened in this night as much as he can. If someone has better opportunities, he should spend the whole night in worship and prayer. However, if one cannot do so for one reason or another, he can select a considerable portion of the night, preferably of the second half of it for this purpose, and should perform the following acts of worship:
(a) Salah. Salah is the most preferable act to be performed in this night. There is no particular number of Rak'at but preferably it should not be less than eight. It is also advisable that each part of the Salah like qiyam, rukoo' and sajdah should be longer than normal. The longest surahs of the Holy Qur'an one remembers by heart should be recited in the Salah of this night. If someone does not remember the long surahs, he can also recite several short surahs in one rak'ah.
Salaatul Tasbeeh is perhaps the most famous Salaat performed on auspicious nights. This is how you perform it.
Incase you can't read/see/understand the above The Tasbih to be read in Salaat-Ul-Tasbeeh:
" Subhaan Allahi Wal Hamdulillahi Wa Laa ilaha illal Laahu Wallahu Akbar "
Method:
Goal is to recite above Tasbih 300 times in Four Rakah with the following method.
1. In the first rakaat, after reading Sana "Subhaana Kallahumma...", read the above tasbih 15 times.
2. Now recite Aaoz "Aoozubillah...", Bismillah "Bismillah...", Then read sura Fatiha and a Surah or minimum of three small Ayayhs
Now read the tasbih 10 times again.
3. Go to ruku saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar), after reciting "Subhaana Rabbiyal Azeem" minimum of three times. Then read the tasbih 10 times in Ruku.
4. Saying "Samee Allahu Liman Hamidah Rabbana Lakal Hamdh" get up from ruku to qiyam (standing) position.
Now read the tasbih 10 times.
5. Go to Sajdah saying Takbeer (Allah Hu Akbar) and after reciting "Subhaana Rabbiyal A'la" minimum of three times
Now read the tasbih 10 times in Sajdah.
6. Now go after first Sajdah go to Jalsa (sitting position) saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar).
Sitting in Jalsa read tasbih 10 times.
7. Go to sajda again saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar) and after reciting "Subhaana Rabbiyal A'la" minimum of three times
Now read the tasbih 10 times in Sajdah again.
8. Get up to begin 2nd rakat saying Takbeer (Allah Hu Akbar).
9. Do rakah #2 in same fashion, but before reading Bismillah "Bismillah...", and Surah Fatiha, read the tasbih 15 times. Follow the rest as you did in first Rakat.
10. After second Sajdah of Second Rakat sit in Qaidah Oola (first sitting) read Attahiyat, Durood and Dua then get up for 3rd rakaat without saying Salam.
11. Begin third Rakat, just like the first Rakat, with Sana "Subhaana Kallahumma...", read the above tasbih 15 times. Follow the rest as you did in first Rakat untill you sit for Qaidah Akihra (last sitting) after second sajdah of fourth Rakah.
In Qaidah Akihra Attahiyat, Durood, Dua finish Salah with Salam.
Special notes for Salat-Ul-Tasbih:
1) Do not count loudly. It will break Salah
2) Do not count on fingers or by holding a Bead Tasbih in hand. It is Makruh.
3) You may count by pressing the fingers as a reminder. For example if you are in Ruku. You me press pinky of your right hand first for the first count, then the finger next to it for second count, then the middle finger for third count, following this method untill you reach the pinky of left hand will give you an exact count of ten. Use the same method in Qayam, Sajdah and Jalsa.
4) If missed a count then make it up in the next posture. For example if forgot to recite Tasbih after Surah in Qayam. Then you may recite Tasbish 20 times instead of 10 in Rukuh after "Subhaana Rabbiyal Azeem". Missed Tasbih cannot be recited in Qayam after ruku and Jalsa between Sajdah. If you missed the Tasbih in Ruku then recite 20 in the first Sajdah instead of the Qayam after rukuh. Similarly if missed the Tasbih in first Sajdah then do not make it up in Jalsa. Instead recite missed tasbih in the second Sajdah. If Tasbih has been missed in last sajdah of second or fourth Rakah then you can recite the missed ones before Attahiyat in Qaidah.
5) If you miss a wajib in Salah and have to do Sajdah Sahaw. You dont have to recite Tasbih in Sajdah sahoo, since the 300 count has been estalished. But if you had missed Tasbih in any of the postures and remeber it now. Then you may recite the missed Tasbih in Sajdah Sahaw now.
6) It is preferable to recite after Surah Fatiha Sura Takathuur in the first raka’, Surah Wal A’sr in the second raka’, Surah Kaferoon (qul ya aiyuhal Kafiroon) in the third and Surah Ikhlas (Qul hu Allah-hu ahd) in the fourth raka’. If one does not remember these surah they can recite the ones they prefer.
(b) Tilawa. The recitation of the Holy Qur'an is another form of worship, very beneficent in this night. After performing Salah, or at any other time, one should recite as much of the Holy Qur'an as he can.
(c) Dhikr. One should also perform dhikr (recitation of the name of Allah) in this night. Particularly Qalbi Zikr. (Learn about it using the links above)
One should recite Salah (durood) on Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, as many times as one can. The dhikr can also be recited while walking, lying on bed and during other hours of work or leisure.
(d) Dua. The best benefit one can draw from the blessings of this night is prayers and supplications. It is hoped that all the prayers in this night will be accepted by our Lord, insha-Allah. Prayer itself is an 'Ibadah, and Allah Almighty gives reward on each prayer along with the fulfillment of the supplicator's need. Even if the purpose prayed for is not achieved, one cannot be deprived of the reward of the prayer which is sometimes more precious than the mundane benefits one strives for. The prayers and supplications also strengthen one's relation with Allah Almighty, which is the main purpose of all kinds and forms of worship.
One can pray for whatever purpose he wishes. But the best supplications are the ones made by Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam. These are so comprehensive and all-encompassing prayers that all the human needs, of this world and the Hereafter, are fully covered in the eloquent expressions used in them. Actually, most of the prophetic prayers are so profound that human imagination can hardly match their greatness.
Several books in various languages are available which provide these prophetic prayers, and one should pray to Allah Almighty in accordance with them, whether by reciting their original Arabic text or by rendering their sense in one's own language.
(e) There are some people who cannot perform any additional Salah or recitations for any reason, like illness or weakness or being engaged in some other necessary activities. Such people also should not deprive themselves completely of the blessings of this night. They should observe the following acts:
(i) To perform the Salah of Maghrib, 'Isha' and Fajr with Jama'ah in the mosque, or in their homes in case of their being sick.
(ii) They should keep reciting the dhikr, particularly the one mentioned in para (c) above, in whatever condition they are until they sleep.
(iii) They should pray to Allah for their forgiveness and for their other objectives. One can do so even when he is in his bed.
(f) The women during their periods cannot perform salah, nor can they recite the Qur'an, but they can recite any dhikr, tasbeeh, durood sharif and can pray to Allah for whatever purpose they like in whatever language they wish. They can also recite the Arabic prayers mentioned in the Qur'an or in the hadith with the intention of supplication (and not with the intention of recitation).
(g) According to a hadith, which is relatively less authentic, Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, went in this night to the graveyard of Baqi' where he prayed for the Muslims buried there. On this basis, some of the fuqaha hold it as mustahabb (advisable) in this night to go to the graveyard of the Muslims and recite Fatihah or any other part of the Qur'an, and pray for the dead. But this act is neither obligatory nor should it be performed as regularly as an obligatory act.
Fast of the 15th Sha'ban
On the day immediately following the Night of Bara'ah, i.e. the 15th of Sha'ban, it is mustahabb (advisable) to keep fast. Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, is reported to have recommended this fast emphatically. Although the scholars of hadith have some doubts in the authenticity of this report, yet it is mentioned earlier that the fasts of the first half of Sha'ban have special merits and Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, used to fast most of the days in Sha'ban. Moreover, a large number of the elders (salaf) of the Ummah have been observing the fast of the 15th of Sha'ban. This constant practice indicates that they have accepted the relevant hadith as authentic.
Therefore, it is advisable to fast the 15th of Sha'ban as an optional (nafl) fast. One can also keep a fast of qada on this day and it is hoped that he can also benefit from the merits of this fast.
What to Recite immediately after Sunset
After sunset, you should recite "La Hawla walaa Quwwata illa Billahil-aliyil
Azeem" forty times with three times Durood Shareef before and after. It is
mentioned that by reciting this, Almighty Allah will forgive forty years of
your sins and forty Hoors will await to serve you in Jannat al-Firdous.
Countless Mercies
Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Salla Allahu alayhi wa Sallam) has stated: "Verily!
Almighty Allah directs His Special Grace on the world on this Night. He
forgives my Ummah more than the number of wool that is found on the
sheep of the Bani Kalb". We should remember that in those days the Bani
Kalb possessed the most number of sheep that any other tribe.
Visit to the Cemetery
Hadrat Ayesha Siddiqa (radi Allahu ta'ala anha) reports: "One night, which
was the 15th of Shabaan, I did not find the Beloved Prophet (Salla Allahu
ta'ala alayhi wa Sallam) in the house so I went in search of him. After a long
search, I found him in Baqiah (the cemetery of Madinah) offering Du'a for
the deceased and praying for their forgiveness". (Baihaqi)
A special point must be made to visit the cemetery during this night and
pray for the deceased buried therein, as the Most Beloved Prophet (Salla
Allahu alayhi wa Sallam) is been reported as having visited the cemetery
on this night and spending a long time therein, lamenting, reading and
praying for the deceased.
To keep Fast
According to the Hadith Shareef which is narrated by Ibne Habaan (radi
Allahu ta'ala anhu) that Rasoolullah (Salla Allahu ta'ala alayhi wa Sallam)
said: "When the night of 15th Shabaan arrives spend the night awake and
keep fast the next day".
Hadrat Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu ta'ala anhu) reports that the Most
Beloved (salla Allahu alayhi wa Sallam) of Allah ta'ala said often in his
Khutba (sermon): "O people! Lighten and cleanse your bodies by way of
fasting during Shabaan, so that it shall be easy and helpful to you for the
fast during Ramadan. Whoso fasts for three days during Shabaan, all his
past sins are wiped off". (Baihaqi) Fasting is also recommended on the 13th,
14th and 15th of Shabaan.
70 Worldly needs fulfilled
It is also mentioned that if one reads Surah Dukhan (Surah 44) seven times on this night, Almighty Allah will reward you with 70 worldly needs and 70 deeds for the Hereafter. (Surah Dukhan is only a few pages by the way)
Do not be amongst deprived of Mercy
Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Salla Allahu ta'ala alayhi wa Sallam) said: "Almighty
Allah forgives all Muslims on this night, besides the fortune tellers, the
magicians, the alcoholics, those who disrespect their parents and those
who take part and encourage adultery".
In another narration, the following people have also been mentioned:
1. One who deals in usury (Riba),
2. One who wears his trousers below his ankle with pride and arrogance
(In Arabia, people displayed their wealth and boasted in this manner),
3. One who creates disunity among two Muslims,
4. The person who unjustly takes away the right and property of another
Muslim and has not yet rectified himself.
All these persons are not shown Mercy on this auspicious Night.
A humble appeal to seek pardon and ask Allah's forgiveness
Dear Muslim brothers, the Bountiful Allah in His Infinite Mercy has
provided us with such an auspicious night so that we may take advantage
of it and repent for our sins,and thus obtain His Grace and Favour. It is for
us to take full advantage of it. During this night, offer special prayers and
repent sincerely for our past sins and ask for His Forgiveness.
Also on this night the Doors of Mercy and Forgiveness are opened wide,
and those who sincerely grieve over and repent for their past sins and seek
forgiveness from Allah are pardoned and forgiven by the Grace of Allah the
Merciful.
Each Tasbih or Du'a should begin and terminate with the recital of Durood
Shareef and one who wishes for the acceptance of his Du'as should use the
Wasila of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Salla Allahu ta'ala alyhi wa Sallam).
Hadrat Ghawth al-A'zam, Shaykh Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani (radi Allahu anhu)
has mentioned in his famous"Gunyat-ut Talibeen" that the month of Shaban
according to some narrations is related to Rasoolullah (salla Allahu alayhi
wa Sallam). So, it is our duty, as the Ummat of Rasoolullah (Salla Allahu
ta'ala alayhi wa Sallam) to love and respect this month more than any other
month (besides Ramadan). We should also offer abundantly salutations
(Salaat-o-Salaam) upon the Most Beloved Prophet (Salla Allahu ta'ala alayhi
wa Sallam).
While we are praying and asking for ourselves and family, we should also
remember in our Du'as the Muslim Ummah facing calamities in many parts
of the world, that may Allah Ta'ala grant them the strength and Istiqaamat
(steadfastness) in Deen. Those weak Muslims who are under pressure from
the West and modernisation, may Allah Ta'ala guide them and show them
the right path so that they be in touch with their glorious past. Aameen.
May Almighty Allah guide us on the path of the Ambiya and the Awliya.
Aameen.
Other Nafil Salaah to be read on Shab-e-Baraat
Basharat of Jannat : Sayyiduna Rasulullah (Salla Allahu alayhi wa Sallam) is
reported to have said that Allah Ta'ala instructs and assigns 100 angels to
the person who performs 100 Nafil Salaahs on this auspicious night - 30 of
which will bring the good news of Jannat, 30 angels to protect one from
the Azaab (Punishment) of Dozakh (Hell), 30 to remove all misfortunes and
miseries of this world and 10 angels to protect one from Shaitaan.

make Du'a for long life filled with piety and righteousness.
Reward for ten thousand good Deeds : Anyone who performs 20 rakaahs of
Nafil after Maghrib in such a way that after Surah Fatiha, recites Surah
Ikhlaas 10 times in every rakaah, will be rewarded abundantly by Allah
Ta'ala, and ten thousand good deeds will be recorded in his Amal Namaa
(Book of Deeds).
Death with complete Faith/Imaan :
Anyone who performs 2 rakaahs of Nafil on the last Friday of Shabaan between Maghrib and Esha will die with full aith and Imaan. After Surah Fatiha, one should read Ayatul Kursi once, Surah Ikhlaas 10 times and Surah Falaq and Surah Naas once in both rakaahs. If the person who reads Nafil in such a way dies until the next Shabaan, will die with Imaan, Inshaa-Allah.

The niyyat (intention) for the first reading should be for long life. The niyyat (intention) for the second reading should be for protection from calamities. The niyyat (intention) for the third Reading
should be for not being needy to anyone except Allah.

SUPPLICATION ON THE NIGHT OF 15th SHA'BAN
O Allah! You shower favours on everyone
And no one can do You any favour.
O The Possessor of Majesty and Honour,
O The Distributor of bounty and rewards,
There is no one worthy of worship except You.
You help the fallen
And provide refuge to the refugees And give peace to those who are in fear.
O Allah! If in the Mother of All Books that is with You
You have written me down as someone who is
Doubtful of achieving salvation, or deprived,
Or rejected or without enough sustenance,
Then, O Allah, with Your Grace
Remove all of these misfortunes from me
and in the Mother of All Books that is with You,
establish me as someone who is
blessed, with abundant provision and charitable good deeds.
Indeed, what You said in The Book You sent
Through the tongue of Your Blessed Prophet is true
That Allah changes and establishes what He wants
And with Him is the Mother of All Books.
O My Lord! For the sake of Your Divine Manifestation
On this fifteenth night of the blessed month of Sha'ban
In which You issue all Wise and Irrevocable Decrees
Remove from us all calamities and hardships,
those that we know about as well as those that we don't,
while You know everything.
Truly, You are the Most Powerful, Most Generous.
And may Allah the Exalted shower blessings and peace on
Sayyidina Muhammad, and on his family and his companions
And all praise is for Allah, Lord of the worlds.

Important A friend of ours became very sick after drinking water left in a car overnight but she was ill for a couple of months.
No matter how many times you get this E-mail,
Please send it on!!!!
Bottled water in your car is very dangerous!
On the Ellen show, Sheryl Crow said that this is what caused her breast cancer.
It has been identified as the most common cause of the high levels of dioxin in breast cancer tissue..
Sheryl Crow's oncologist told her : women should not drink bottled water that has been left in a car.
The heat reacts with the chemicals in the plastic of the bottle which releases dioxin into the water. Dioxin is a toxin increasingly found in breast cancer tissue.
So please be careful and do not drink bottled water that has been left in a car.
Pass this on to all the women in your life. This information is the kind we need to know that just might save us!
Use a stainless steel canteen or a glass bottle instead of plastic!
LET EVERYONE WHO HAS A WIFE / /DAUGHTER KNOW PLEASE! (This was new to me ) This information is also being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center ...
No plastic containers in microwaves.
No plastic water bottles in freezers.
No plastic wrap in microwaves.
Dioxin chemical causes cancer, especially breast cancer.
Dioxins are highly poisonous to cells in our bodies.
Don't freeze plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic.
Recently the Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital was on a TV program to explain this health hazard.
He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating food in the microwave using plastic containers......
This especially applies to foods that contain fat.
He said that the combination of fat, high heat and plastic releases dioxin into the food.
Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food... You get the same result, but without the dioxin..
So, such things as TV dinners, instant soups, etc., should be removed from their containers and heated in something else.
Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's safer to use tempered glass, such as Pyrex, etc.
He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the styrene foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons....
Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Cling film, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave.
As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food..
Cover food with a paper towel instead. This is an article that should be sent to anyone important in your life.
