This day is the commemoration of the day of Martyrdom of Imaam Ali (A.S.) so we should observe it with absolute solemnity. This is the saddest day for the believers and followers of Imaam Ali (A.S.) Many Salawaat should be recited and many curses should sent on the enemies of Ahlul Bayt (A.S.) Especially today more curses should be sent on the accursed Ibne Muljim and his accursed associates.
Ziyaarat of Ameerul Mu’mineen Imaam Ali (A.S.) should be recited today.
The days of Qadr should also be revered and well-regarded as the nights of Qadr.
23rd NIGHT:
This night is said to be more meritorious then the two previous nights.
Perform the common A’amaal which are for all three nights.
Perform ghusl for all the remaining ten nights.
Recite Surah-e- Anqaboot and Surah-e-Room. Imaam Ja’afar Saadiq (A.S.) said that the reciter of these two Surahs are from the people of Paradise.
Recite Surah-e-Haa Meem Dukhaan.
Recite 1000 times Surah-e-Qadr.
Recite this Duaa for Imaame-Zamaana A.F. – First recite Praises for the Allmighty Allaah,then recite Salawaat on the Holy Prophet(S) and his Holy Progeny (A.S.) and then recite: Bismillahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem. Allaahumma Kun Li Waliyyikal Hujjatibnil Hasan Swalawaatuka Alayhi Wa Alaa Aabaaihee Fee Haadhihis-Saa’atin Waliyyan Wa Haafidhan Wa Qaaidan Wa Naaswiran Wa Daleelan Wa Aynan Hattaa Tuskinahoo Ardhwaka Twaw’an Wa Tumattiahoo Feehaa Twaweela.

This Duaas should be recited every now and then.
It is narrated by Imaam Ja’afar Saadiq (A.S.) that you should hope and highly expect tonight to be the night of Qadr and so pray 100 ra’at Namaaz with 10 times S.Ikhlaas in every rak’at. This is so much emphasised that the Imaam said that if one is unable to pray standing then he or she should pray sitting, and if this is also hard then pray by even lying down.
Recite as much Qur’an as possible. Recite other Duaas also, such as Duaa-e-Makaarimul Akhlaaq, Duaa-e-Tawba, Duaas from Saheefa-e-Kaamila etc.

THE LAST FRIDAY
Rasoolullaah (S.A.W.W.) said that whoever recites the following Duaa on the last Friday of Maahe Ramadhaan then he shall achieve one of these two things, either he shall be fortunate enough to see the next Ramadhaan Mubaarak or if he dies before that he shall be granted with unlimited bounties and mercy from Allaah (S.W.T.):Bismillaahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem. Allaahumma Laa Taj’alhu Aakhiral Ahadi Min Swiyaaminaa Iyyahu Fa In Ja’altahoo Faj’alnee Marhooman Walaa Taj’alnee Mahrooma.
Namaaz Baraye Kaffaara-e-Namaaz-e-Qazaa: This Namaaz is a Kaffaara (atonement) for Qazaa Namaaz. This is from the book MANHAJ DA’WAAT in which it is quoted from Imaam Ali (A.S.) whose-so-ever’s Namaaz has elapsed (qazaa) excessively then he should offer this Namaaz on the last Friday (Jum’atul Widaa) of Holy Ramadhaan as atonement. It is of four rak’ats, two rak’at each. In every rak’at after Al-Hamd recite 25 times Surah- AL-Ikhlaas, once Aayatul Kursee and 15 times Surah – Al-Kawsar and after Namaaz recite the following Duaa: “Allaahumma Yaa Saabiqal Fawti Yaa Saami’as-Sawti Yaa Muhyi-al Idhwaami Ba’adal Mawti Swalli Alaa Muhammadin Wa Aali Muhammadin.
