There are particular Duaas to be Recited After Every Namaaz, these are mentioned in the back pages of this book. [*]
After Namaaz-e-Maghribdaily recite Duaa-e- Hajj. [*].
As the Holy Qur’an is revealed in this month it is of utmost importance to recite it and ponder over it as much as possible. Every thing has its particular season and the Season of Holy Qur’an is the Month of Ramadhaan. If one does a Khitma and dedicates its Sawaab to any one of the Ma’asoomeen (A.S.) then the reward for the reciter is manifold. Duaa at the time of Khitma of Holy Qur’an is given in back pages. [*]
Reciting of Surah-e-Anqaboot and S.Room restores the good deeds which were made null and void due to other bad deeds
Recite as much as possible the Salawaat, Istighfaaar, and Laa Ilaaha Illallaah.
It is Mustahab to do Iftaar after Ishaa. But if it is unbearable or people are waiting for you then you may do Iftaar first and then go for prayers.
To break the Fast at Iftaar starting with Khajoor (dates) will bring you the Sawaab of 400 Namaaz for a single one. It is good to do Iftaar with taking either dates, water, sweetmeat, or hot water.
Duaas of Iftaar:
These are some special Duaas to be recited at the time of Iftaar:
If one recites Duaa-e-Ahd(that Duaa which is recited on every Friday morning, starting with ‘Alaahummaa… Rabban… Nooril… Adhweem……”) [*] he/she shall get plenty of Sawaab, Allaah will answer his prayer, accepts his prayer and Fasting, grants his 10 requirements, forgives his sins, removes his grief, makes his heart at ease, grants his wishes, makes to ascend his deeds upwards with the deeds of Prophets and Saints, and on Qayaamat will bring him to His presence with a face illuminated like a bright moon.
Imaam Ali (A.S.) used to recite this Duaa at the Time ofIftaar:-Bismillaahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem. Bismillaahi Allaahumma Laka Swumna Wa Alaa Rizqika Aftwarnaa Fataqabbal Minnaa Innaka Antas-Sameeul Aleem.
On the first morsal of Iftaar recite; Bismillahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem Yaa Waasi’al Maghfirati Ighfirlee.
It is also stated to trecite Surah-e-Qadr at Iftaar.
It is recommended to give alms and to give foodto other Fastng people At the Time of Iftaar.
It is stated to recite Surah-e-Qadr 1000 times every night.
There are particular Duaas to be recited in every night of this month. (Ref. M.Jinaan).
Recite Duaa-e-Iftitaah in every night. (Ref. M.Jinaan)
In every night of this Holy month recite the following Namaaz so that 17000 sins might be forgiven. 2 rak’at Namaaz, after Al-Hamd recite 3 times Surah-e-Ikhalaas and after Namaaz recite this Duaa: Sub’haana Man Huwa Hafeedhun Laa Yaghfulu, Sub’haana Man Huwa Raheemun Laa Ya’jalu, Sub’haana Man Huwa Qaaimun Laa Yas’hoo Sub’hana Man Huwa Daa’imun Laa Yalhoo. Then recite 7 times Tasbihaat-e-Arba’aa. And then recite once this Duaa: Sub’haanaka Sub’haanaka Sub’haanaka Yaa Adhweemu Ighfirliyadh-Dhambal Adhweem. The recite 10 Salawaat.
If anyone recites Surah-e-Fat’h (Innaa Fatahna Laka Fat’ham-Mubeena……) in Sunnaat Namaaz in these nights he shall remain safe from all problems and disease during this whole year.
After every Nawafil Namaaz it is better to recite this Duaa: Bismillaahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem. Allaahummaj’al Fee Maa Taqdhwee Wa Tuqaddiru Minal Amril Mahtoom Wa Fee Maa Tafruqu Minal Amril Hakeem Fee Laylatil Qadri An Taj’alanee Min Hujjaji Baytikal Haraamil Mabroori Hajjuhumul Mashkoori Sa’yuhumul Maghfoori Dhunoobuhum Wa As’aluka An Tutweela Umree Fee Twaa’atika Wa Tuwassi’a Lee Fee Rizqee Yaa Arhamar-Raahimeen.
A’AMAAL AT THE TIME OF SAHRI (daaku):
It is highly emphasized to eat some food at the time of Sehri, even if one is not hungry he / she should partake a little food or some drink.
It is narrated that Allaah (S.W.T.) bestows His Mercy on the one who does Isteghfaar at the time of Sahri.
One who recites Surah-e-Qadr at the time of Sahri and Iftaar gets the Sawaab of a Martyr.
There are beautiful Duaas to be recited at Sahri, e.g. Duaa-e-Tasbihaat, Duaa-e- Abu Hamza-e-Simaali, etc. (pls. Refer M.Jinaan for it.)
NEW-MOON:
We should try our best to see the new moon of Maah-e-Ramadhaan, some Ulamaa say that it is obligatory to see it. And when we see the moon we should not point to it rather we should raise our hands towards the sky and recite this Duaa: Bismillaahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem, Rabbee Wa Rabbukallaahu Rabbul Aalameen, Allaahumma Ahillahu Alaynaa Bil Amni Wal Imaani Was-Salaamati Wal Islaami Wal Musaara’atee Ilaa Maa Tuhibboo Wa Tardhaa, Allaahumma Baarik Lanaa Fee Shahrinaa Haadhaa Warzuqnaa Khayrahoo Wa Awnahoo Wasrif Annaa Dhurrahoo Wa Sharrahoo Wa Balaa’ahoo Wa Fitnatahoo.
Another Duaa when you see the new moon. The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W.) used to turn towards Qibla and recite the following Duaa when he sighted the new moon of Maah-e-Ramadhaan:
Bismillaahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem. Allaahuma Ahillahu Alayna Bil Amni Wal Eemaani Was-Salaamati Wal Islaami Wal Aafiyatil Mujallalati Wa Difaail Asqaami Wal Awni Alas-Swalaati Was-Swiyaami Wal Qiyaami Wa Tilaawatil Qur’aani. Allaahumma Sallimna Li Shahri Ramadhaan Wa Tasallaamhu Minna Wa Sallimnaa Feehi Hattaa Yanqadhiya Annaa Shahru Ramadhaan Wa Qad Afawta Annaa Wa Ghafarta Lanaa Wa Rahimtanaa.
