A’AMAAL OF BIBI ZAYNAB (S.A.)

Everyone who knows the history of the Tragedy of Karbalaa knows very well the name Zaynab (S.A.) She was the brave daughter of Imaam Ali (A.S.) and Bibi Faatima (S.A.) She was brought up in the house of Revealation. It is a matter of fact that when Imaam Husayn (A.S.) accomplished his mission by his great sacrifice in Karbala to rescue Islaam from the beastly clutches of Yezidites, the remaining half task was completed by Bibi Zaynab (S.A.) by her great sacrifice; the Holy Lady Zaynab (S.A.) gave away her two dear sons Awn and Muhammad in the battle field of Karbalaa,she endured the tribulations in Shaam-e-Ghareeba, she endured imprisonment, she endured looting of her Chaador, and she suffered the most cruel tribulations ever fallen on anyone. In spite of all that her aim was to save Islaam, and she emerged victorious like Imaam Husayn (A.S.)

Remembering Bibi Zaynab (S.A.) the following Amal is very effective for curing sickness, abundance in Rizq, and dispersing calamities and problems:

Recite 11 times Salawaat.

Pray 2 rak’at Namaaz for Haajat.

Recite: Bismillaahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem. Yaa Zaynab Ishfi’alee Fil Jannati Fa Inna Laki Indallaahish-Shafaa’atil Maqboolati Wal Manzilatil Adhweemah. Allaahumma Swalli Alaa Muhammadin Wa Aali Muhammad.

Imaam Moosa-e-Kaadhim (A.S.) is our 7^th Imaam. Like our other Aimmaah he also had to go through many hardships and tribulations from the enemies of Islaam., but never did he do anything to damage the name of Islaam, his aim was to rescue Islaam from the oppressors and keep it intact. For that reason the Imaam was imprisoned for a very long period by Harun Rasheed, and finally he poisoned the Imaam and the Imaam breathed his last in the prison. One of his sayings is, ‘That who knows Allaah well, should never mistrust Allaah with regard to his sustenance, nor should he think ill of the way He manages His servants’ lives.” About servitude the Imaam said, “It is putting one’s trust in Allaah, submitting to Allaah, being satisfied with Allaah’s ordinance, and commending oneself to Allaah.”

TAHAJJUD (NAMAAZ-E-SHAB)

It is a glory and honour for a Mu’min to get up from sleep at the final part of the night for peforming Ibaadaat of All Merciful Allaah, and this practise has been a praiseworthy matter by Ma’asoomeen (A.S.) It is an atonement for the sins committed during the day, it is also helping to maintain good health, and it is a means to wipe off the dreadfulness of the grave, and it is a means for abundance in Rizq.

As for the children and property are the splendors of the world, same or more is for the nightly prayers being splendor, brilliance, and majesty of the Aakhirat. Sometimes Almighty Allaah (S.W.T.) gathers all these two plendors together for one person.

Anyone who says that inspite of praying at night he remained hungry in the day is a liar because Namaaz-e-Shab is the warranty for Rizq.

Getting up at night for Ibaadat is so much essential that can be judged from this insidence: Once Prophet Isa (A.S.) called her mother Bibi Maryam (S.A.) after her death and asked if she wished to return back in the world. She replied, “Yes, but for performing Ibaadaat in the coldest nights and to observe Fasts in the scorching heat of the days, these things are very useful in hereafter, the path here is very difficult and risky.”

There are fourty or more advantages of Namaaz-e-Shab mentioned in books of Fiqah.

For those who take more interest in Namaaz-e-Shab there is a method, which takes approximately twenty five minutes. Otherwise the ordinary method is also very authentic and has many merits. That is:

• 
  Pray 8 rak’ats Namaaz, as usual, as of Sub’h, with the Niyat of Naafila-e-Shab. Then pray 2 rak’at Namaaz-e-Shfaa’a (without Qunoot). Finally pray 1 rak’at with Qunoot. That’s all.
  

More detailed mathod is as follows:

1. 
   Two Rak’at Namaaz-e-Naafila-e-Shab, in first rak’at after Al-Hamd recite S. Tawheed once, in the second rak’at recite S.Kaafiroon once after Al-Hamd. (or 30 times S.Tawheed in each rak’at)
   
2. 
   Two Rak’at – with any Surah after Al-Hamd.
   
3. 
   Two Rak’at – with any Surah after Al-Hamd.
   
4. 
   Two Rak’at – with any Surah after Al-Hamd.
   
5. 
   Two Rak’at. Namaaz-e-Shafaa- S.An-Naas in 1st rak’at and S.Al-Falak in the 2nd rak’at, after Al-Hamd. There is no QUNOOT here.
   
6. 
   Then when you finish this Namaaz recite this Duaa: Bismillaahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem. Allaahumma Swalli Alaa Muhammadin Wa Aali Muhammad. Ilaahee Ta’arradhwa Laka Fee Haadhal-Laylil Muta’arridhwoona Wa Qaswadal Qaaswidoona Wa Ammala Fadhlaka Wa Ma’aroofakat-Twaaliboona Wa Laka Fee Haadhal-Layli Nafahaatun Wa Jawaa’izu Wa Atwaaya Wa Mawaahibu Tamunnu Bihaa Alaa Mantashaau Min Ibaadika Wa Tam’nauhaa Manlam Tasbik Lahool Inaayatu Minka Wa Haa Anaadhaa Ubaydukal Faqeeru Ilaykal Mu’ammilu Fadhlaka Wa Ma’aroofaka, Fa’in Kunta Yaa Mawlaaya Tafadh-dhalta Fee Haadhal-Laylati Alaa Ahadin Min Khalqika Wa Udta Alayhi Bi Aa’idatin Min Atfika, Fa Swalli Alaa Muhammadin Wa Aali Muhammadit-Twayyibeenat-Twaahireenal Khayyireenal Faadhileen, Wa Jud Alayya Bi Twawlik Wa Ma’aroofik Yaa Rabbal Aalameen, Wa Swallalaahu Alaa Muhammadin Khaatamin-Nabiyyeen Wa Aalihit-Twaahireen Wa Sallaama Tasleeman Innallaaha Hameedun Majeed. Allaahumma Innee Ad’ooka Kamaa Ararta Fastajib Lee Kamaa Wa’adta Innaka Laa Tukhliful Mee’aad.
   
7. 
   Then pray One Rak’at Namaaz-e-Witr. After Al-Hamd recite 3 times S. Tawheed, 3 times S. Al-Falak, And 3 times S. An-Naas. Then raise the hands for Qunoot, recite the following in it:
   
8. 
   Laa Ilaaha Illallaahul Haleemul Kareem, Laa Ilaaha Illallaahul Aliyyul Adhweem, Sub’haanallaahi Rabbis-Samaawaatis-Sab’ee Wa Rabbal Aradhweenas-Sab’ee, Wamaa Fee Hinna Wamaa Bayna Hunna Wa Huwa Rabbul Arshil Adhweem, Walhamdu Lillaahi Rabbil Aalameen, Wa Swallallaahu Alaa Muhammadin Wa Aalihit-Twayyibeenat-Twaahireen.
   
9. 
   Then beseech Allaah (S.W.T.) for the repentence of 40 persons, dead or alive, thus: Allaahumagh’fir… here take the name of the person one by one, upto fourty.
   
10. 
    Then recite 70 times “Astaghfirullaaha Rabbee Wa Atoobu Ilayhi.”
    
11. 
    Then recite 300 times “Al-Afw”.
    
12. 
    Then recite: “Rabbigh’fir Lee War’Hamnee Wa Tub Alayya Innaka Antat-Tawwaabul Ghafoorur-Raheem.”
    
13. 
    Then recite ; “Astaghfirullaahal-Ladhee Laa Ilaaha Illaa Huwal Hayyul Qayyoom, Bi Jamee’i Dhulmee Wa Jurmee Wa Israafee Alaa Nafsee Wa Atoobu Ilayh.”
    
14. 
    Then recite 7 times: “Haadha Maqaamul Aa’idhi Bika Minan-Naar.”
    
15. 
    Then complete the Namaaz in normal way, i.e. go to Rukoo, Sajdah, Tasha’hhood, Salaam. FINALLY, pray 2 rak’at of Naafila-e-Sub’h, and be ready for Namaaz-e-Sub’h.
    

Notice:

In the Qunoot of Namaaz-e-Vitr you may recite any Duaa, as much as you can, and as long as you wish. Doing Istighfaar with tears in eyes is very beneficial in that state. Some devotees also recite Duaa-e-Qumail or Duaa-e-Abu Hamza Thimaali in this Qunoot.
