How to Behold Allah’s Tajalli in the Night of Power

The holy Qur’an states in Chapter 2, Verse 185:

شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِيَ أُنزِلَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ هُدًى لِّلنَّاس  ………….…۝

“The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur’an, a guidance for mankind ……………………”               Qur’an [2:185]

This verse prompts us to consider carefully why the month of Ramadan has been specifically linked to revealing of the Qur’an, when the Qur’an was revealed in other months as well. It has also become important to find out why Ramadan is different from other days. Further, what changes in our thoughts and feelings are brought about by Ramadan?

In the very next verse God says:

وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِي عَنِّي فَإِنِّي قَرِيبٌ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ الدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَان   ………….…۝

“When My servants ask thee concerning Me, I am indeed close (to them), I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calleth on Me.”  Qur’an [2:186]

This verse clearly implies that there’s no distance between man and God.

The holy Qur’an further states in Chapter 51, Verse 49:

وَمِن كُلِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقْنَا زَوْجَيْنِ ………….… ۝

“And of everything We have created pairs ………”      Qur’an [51:49]

Human senses too follow the same rule; they also exist as a pair. In one set of senses man finds himself restricted and constrained in every respect. And in the other he finds himself free of all restrictions. In our restricted and limited senses we are attached to and focussed on the material life i.e. the worldly affairs. Here every move of our senses adds a further link to the chain that shackles our life.

Life can be summed up as a collection of urges. These very urges actually form our senses. Hunger, thirst, sex, enjoyment, desire to speak to one another, getting together and a thousand and one other interests are all urges. Fulfilment of all these urges depends on how our senses perceive them. If we accept these they get absorbed into our senses and then get translated into physical actions.

In normal days our involvement with the physical world is ever greater. Eating, drinking, working, taking rest and other similar activities are all different aspects of the physical life. Contrary to this, a fasting day brings us to the point where the activities of the material world start to dwindle. For example, for a set time, you shift your attention away from the needs and wants of the physical body and try to persuade yourself that you have non-physical senses as well, which can introduce you to the free world of the Unseen. In short, fasting is an act which strikes our conscious mind down. Controlling thirst and hunger, taking extra care in speaking, reduction in sleep etc. are all parts of an effort to break free from the hold of material concerns and move into the non-material world.

According to a Hadith, God says:

الصوم لی و انا اجزی به

“The fast is for Me and I am its reward.”  [Hadith Qudsi]

This implies that fasting activates those senses in us that enable us to behold God’s Tajalli – God’s own light emanations.

Every living being in the universe has two sets of senses viz.:

1. Those that take us closer to God
2. Those that create a distance between man and God.

The senses of type (b) are all physical and the senses of type (a) are all non-physical. In the physical world man is constrained in Time and Space whereas in the non-physical realm Time and Space are subject to man’s will. Those senses that take us into the Unseen realm and reveal it to us are referred to as the ‘Night’ in the Qur’an:

يُولِجُ اللَّيْلَ فِي النَّهَارِ وَيُولِجُ النَّهَارَ فِي اللَّيْلِ………….… ۝

“He causes the night to enter into the day and the day to enter into the night……”  Qur’an [57:6]

وَآيَةٌ لَّهُمْ اللَّيْلُ نَسْلَخُ مِنْهُ النَّهَارَ ………….… ۝

“And a sign to them is the night: We draw forth from it the day ………………”                                                   Qur’an [36:37]

According to these Qur’anic verses we keep shifting from the Night senses into the Day senses and from the Day senses into the Night senses. Actually both types of senses are one and the same thing it’s just that the Day senses are bound by Time & Space and hence have limited range while the Night senses are free from the grip of Time & Space and thus have an unlimited scope. This is why in our dreams and during Muraqba (Sufi meditation) we are free from the gravitational pull and thus able to travel freely in the Unseen realms. It is these very senses that make it possible for us to visit the world of spirits and the Angelic realm and thereby get to know the angels and even the Arch angels such as Gabriel

The holy Qur’an says, while talking about Moses (Hazrat Musa A.S), that,

وَوَاعَدْنَا مُوسَى ثَلاَثِينَ لَيْلَةً وَأَتْمَمْنَاهَا بِعَشْرٍ فَتَمَّ مِيقَاتُ رَبِّهِ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً………….… ۝

“And We did appoint for Moses thirty nights (of solitude), and completed them with ten (more), so the appointed time of his Lord was complete forty nights.………………”                                          Qur’an [7:142]

What is being said is that Moses received Godly commandments – Torah or information from the Unseen over a period of forty NIGHTS. It must be noted and reflected upon that no mention of the DAY is being made here even though it’s obvious that Moses stayed there at Mount Sinai day and night. What this implies is that the whole time he spent there he remained under the influence of the nocturnal (Night) senses.

In the case of the holy prophet’s Meraj – ascension to the Heavens – God says:

سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي أَسْرَى بِعَبْدِهِ لَيْلاً مِّنَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ الأَقْصَى

الَّذِي بَارَكْنَا حَوْلَهُ لِنُرِيَهُ مِنْ آيَاتِنَا…………………………….… ۝

“Glory be to Him Who carried His servant by night from the Sacred Mosque to the Distant Mosque, the precincts of which We have blessed, that We might show him some of Our signs..……………”      Qur’an [17:1]

In the Night senses i.e. when we are asleep we don’t eat, drink, talk or engage ourselves in other worldly affairs, knowingly. And at the same time we become free of the gravitational pull. We aim to achieve the same through fasting. Taking extra care in speaking, avoiding all loose and unnecessary talk and spending more time in worship takes us closer to the point of observing silence. Depriving body of food, staying awake more and focusing our mind on God all help to suppress the conscious mind to the point that the Unconscious mind – the soul’s mind – takes over. In brief, the entire programme of Ramadan has been designed to take us into the Night senses while we are awake and thereby introduce us to our True Self and the Unseen realms, and ultimately to God Himself.

Allah further says in the Qur’an:

إِنَّا أَنزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ   ۝         وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ ۝

لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ     ۝                   تَنَزَّلُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمْرٍ ۝

سَلَامٌ هِيَ حَتَّى مَطْلَعِ الْفَجْرِ ۝

“Lo! We revealed it on the Night of Power.

Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Night of Power is!

The Night of Power is better than a thousand months.

The angels and the Spirit descend therein, by the permission of their Lord, with all decrees.

(That night is) Peace until the rising of the dawn.”   Qur’an [97:1-5]

Allah, the Sublime, has granted us two programmes, ‘to Have’ and ‘to Give up’. The former has more to do with the principles of economics – worldly living – while the latter is much superior in its scope. Although man is more concerned with the former due to his engagements in the material world the latter – Giving up – helps his Rooh (Soul) turn away from the physical realm, and gradually get closer and closer to Allah. The programme of ‘Giving up’ actually takes you closer to your self – that self about which Allah says:

………….…وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ حَبْلِ الْوَرِيدِ ۝

“And We are nearer to him than his jugular vein”    Qur’an [50:16]

This special night – the Night of Power – happens to be in Ramadan. This was the night in which the holy prophet (May peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) received his first Qur’anic revelations.

Fasting is actually giving up of the normal wants and desires i.e. what we yearn for and strive to have. And as a result our senses get honed and become more focused at a given point. It is commonly believed that we have five senses but spiritually speaking that is not true. We have many more senses than the known five physical ones. They operate in the background and do get revealed when we practice ‘giving up’. Moving away from physical senses and giving up physical activities and bodily desires takes man closer to his true self. At optimum level of giving up one tends to eat less, speak less, sleep less, think less, so on and so forth. Less mental activity is bound to render your thinking clear and bright. A particular type of light fills your brain, heart and chest. This light is different from the one that works in the physical senses. This light works wonders. It provides direction to our thought; it unveils our inner senses and sharpens them. It is this very light which enables you to see in the future, develops your clairvoyant abilities and increases your power to decipher the things so observed.

Allah The Sublime, says in an afore-cited Hadith “the fast is for me and I’m its reward”. The programme of fasting is in effect the programme of ‘giving up’. You take more time off your job or business and devote it to worship. You are not worried about your livelihood. You tend to live a clean and straight life according to a correct schedule, just to please Allah. Allah is on your mind all the time. Allah Himself guides you. He accompanies you. He works within you. He becomes your sight, your hearing and your speech. Just imagine what your being will be in such a state and how near to Allah you will be. What it happens to be is that in true ‘giving up’, that is, in the state of fasting every move of yours is actuated by Allah Almighty, Himself.

Maulana Rumi’s following couplet was probably written with the same in mind:

گفتہ  او  گفتہ  اللہ  بود                    گرچہ از حلقوم عبداللہ بود

His word is word of Allah       though uttered by a servant of Allah

Jalal al-Din Rumi (1207-1273)

Read this couplet thoroughly to its core and reflect upon it over and over again just to get a glimpse of what state of mind Maulana Rumi must have been in when he penned this down. Such poetry does not come about just by playing around with words; it is a state of mind where you are in touch with Reality and it is this Reality which takes the form of such words.

Just mull over the psychological depth of ‘giving up’. Man parts with a little money in the form of charity just for the sake of Allah, and is filled with profuse joy. This feeling of joy overwhelms his soul and permeates through it. His entire being is lit up with this joy. He is rendered lighter so much so that he forgets his physical body.

People have been heard to say that such programmes which are designed to unveil the Unseen are the prerogative of a privileged few. If that were the case then where would you put Maulana Rumi? He had a wife and children; he used to teach Hadith. He was not an ascetic person nor is there anything to suggest that he did not lead a normal life in some other way. He lived just like a common person, the only difference being that he knew the taste of ‘giving up’ while we don’t. Is it not possible for every follower of the holy Prophetﷺ what was possible for Maulana Rumi? Surely ‘giving up’ is within our reach, it’s just that we do not pay attention to it.

What the holy Qur’an calls ‘the Night of Power’ is actually a programme of ‘giving up’ or abandonment, which is completed over the full month of Ramadan. This is exactly why Allah says “fasting is for me, and I’m its reward”. The entire month of Ramadan is actually a programme of introducing man to his soul and to the Unseen.

Allah says:

Lo! We revealed it on the Night of Power ● Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Night of Power is!● The Night of Power is better than a thousand months ●The angels and the Spirit descend therein, by the permission of their Lord, with all decrees ● (That night is) Peace until the rising of the dawn ●   Al-Qadr [97:1-5]

In the light of these verses of the Qur’an, the Night of Power induces those senses which are more powerful than the senses operative in one thousand days and one thousand nights put together. According to Roohani science, our senses in this night become seventy thousand times more powerful.

Ramadan Programme for beholding Tajalli

[Day 11 to 27]

The first ten days of fasting pave the way for us to break free from the hold of those senses which dominate us for eleven months of the year. Going without food and drink, cutting down on sleep, taking extra care in our conversations and daily recitation of the holy Qur’an all help us develop self-control, and as a result we tend to be in control of our physical senses to a large extent. Refraining from food and drink the whole day long and sacrificing our sleep and comfort at night time, just for the sake of Allah Almighty, boost our inner strength and thereby takes us closer to our night senses and our soul. After the first ten days of fasting, if we try we can easily awaken our inner abilities.

Day 11

Do not sleep for more than 6 hours in 24 hours, after the tenth fast ends.

Day 12 to 14

Reduce the sleep hours from six to five; and the food intake in Suhoor and Iftar should not be heavy on your stomach.

Day 15

Reduce the sleep duration from five to four and a half hours; and make sure that the food intake, in both Suhoor and Iftar, does not include oily, fried and rich stuff; and Do Not eat to your fill.

Day 16

Sleep for four and a half hours only. In Suhoor, eat no solid foods, just drink pure fruit juice, milk and/or tea/qahwa; In Iftar only use one or two dates and milk. Stay awake from Iftar to Suhoor and Keep reciting Darood e Khizry throughout this time:

صَلَی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلٰی حَبِیْبِہ مُحَمَّدٍ وّآلہٖ وَّسَلَّمْ

Day 17

Have a light and little food in Suhoor, establish Fajr Salat with Jamaat and then go to sleep for four and a half hours only. Keep yourself busy in your daily work routine and keep reciting the following:

یَا حَّیُ   یَا قَیُّومُ

Ya Hayy’u Ya Qayyum

Avoid solid foods in Iftar, just drink milk and pure fruit juice. After Taraweeh prayers go to bed and keep reciting Darood e Khizry until you fall asleep; wake up at Suhoor.

Day 18

Take very light and easily digestible food, such as porridge, bread toasts and Semolina Harira (soupy stew) for your Suhoor. Keep yourself busy throughout the day and keep reciting Ya Hayy’u Ya Qayyum all the time. Iftar should be restricted to a half stomach full. Drink less water and beverages and go straight to sleep after the Taraweeh prayers. [Sleep duration: no more than 4 hours]

Day 19

For your Suhoor eat food [that is light on your stomach and] in a quantity that will not make you feel uneasy. Have dates and milk for your Iftar. Have less water, keep reciting Darood e Khizry after Taraweeh prayers and then go to sleep for no more than four hours before [the next] Suhoor.

Day 20

Suhoor should be restricted to just one or two bread toasts or a small bowl of porridge. Keep reciting the third Kalimah throughout the day whenever you are free from your daily work routine. Have a very light food for your Iftar, drink less water and keep reciting Darood e Khizry between Maghrib and Isha prayers. After Taraweeh prayers, block your ears with cotton wool balls and stay awake till Suhoor. Recite the holy Qur’an, third Kalimah and Darood e Khizry, and establish Nafal Salat during this time.

The Third Kalimah – The word of Glorification (Tamjeed)

سُبْحَان اللّهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ وَ لآ اِلهَ اِلّا اللّهُ، وَ اللّهُ اَكْبَرُ وَلا حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّة ِلَّا بِاللّهِ الْعَلِىّ الْعَظِيْم

Subhaana-llaahi Walhamdu Lillaahi Walaaa Ilaaha Illa-llaahu Wallaahu Akbar. Walaa Hawla Walaa Quwwata Illaa Billaahi-l ‘Aliyyil ‘Azeem.

“Glory be to Allah and all praise be to Allah, there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and Allah is the Greatest. There is no might or power except from Allah, the Exalted, the Great One”

Note: The above programme combined with the first twenty days of fasting takes one away from the physical senses and closer to the senses of the Night of Power.

Day 21

Have minimal food for your Suhoor, establish Fajr Salat and go to sleep for three hours and forty five minutes. After you wake up recite the holy Qur’an and the third Kalimah throughout the day whenever you are free from your work routine. Have just one glass of water, a little fruit and a cup of tea or qahwa for your Iftar. After Iftar, apart from Maghrib, Isha and Taraweeh prayers keep reciting Darood e Khizry until the Tahajjud time starts – after two-third of the night has passed. After establishing Tahajjud Salat, stand in the dark on a wooden platform, just as you would for Salat [facing Qibla, raising your arms up to your ears while saying Allah’u Akbar and then placing the right hand on top of the left hand on your belly or chest as you normally do for your prayers]. Close your eyes, recite the following 100 times and make Dua to be granted the blessings and spiritual benefits of the Night of Power:

یَا اَللَّهُ     یَا رَحْمٰنُ     یَا رَحِيم

Ya Allah’u Ya Rahman’u Ya Rahim

Keep reciting Darood e Khizry and go to sleep for two and half hours.

Note: for some parts of the world there may not be enough time to go to sleep after this, in which case you can have a two and a half hours’ sleep after Suhoor.

Day 22

Have a very light Suhoor, [establish Fajr Salat and go to sleep for three hours]. spend the whole day in Ibadah (worship). Just have one date for Iftar, and after Maghrib Salat eat to less than half a stomach full. Keep reciting the third Kalimah; establish Isha and Taraweeh Salat, as usual. Just about Tahajjud time stand on a wooden platform and recite the same Zikr as the previous night. Stay awake till Suhoor.

Day 23

Have a little Suhoor, establish Fajr Salat and go to sleep for three hours. Spend the whole day in Ibadah (worship). Read Qur’an and keep reciting the third Kalimah. Iftar should be limited to just one date, and after Maghrib Salat, have a very small portion of food. Spend the night as you did the previous night.

Day 24

No solid food for Suhoor; just have porridge, milk or semolina Harira (Semolina Soup). Make sure that you do not sleep for more than two hours after Fajr. Keep reciting the holy Qur’an and the third Kalimah throughout the day. At the time of Tahajjud, standing on a wooden platform recite the following 101 times:

یَا اَللَّهُ     یَا رَحْمٰنُ     یَا رَحِيم

Ya Allah’u Ya Rahman’u Ya Rahim

Afterwards, do the following Muraqba (Sufi meditation) for 15 to 30 minutes:

“Allah is watching me”

After Muraqba, keep reciting the above Zikr till Suhoor.

Day 25

Have a little and light Suhoor, establish Fajr Salat and go to sleep for two hours. Keep reciting the third Kalimah throughout the day. Have some fruit or porridge for Iftar, and go to sleep after midnight.

Day 26

Again take a little and light Suhoor, and recite the third Kalimah all the times you are free from your work routine. The Iftar should be limited to just one date, milk and water.

Day 27

Anybody who would like to do the ‘Night of Power’ programme individually should wrap a little black pepper powder in cotton wool, role it into a ball and block their ears with it. Keep reciting the third Kalimah and Darood e Khizry until the time of Tahajjud. After Tahajjud Salat, standing on a wooden platform (as done previously) recite the following 100 times:

یَا رَحْمانُ یَا وَدودُ یَا اَللَّه

Ya Rahman’u Ya Wadud’u Ya Allah’u

Collective Programme for the Night of Power

In Ramadan we do our prayers, Suhoor and Iftar collectively, and as a result we are showered with the lights and blessings of Allah’s Attributes, and our supplications are accepted. Do have a shower prior to starting this programme, wear a washed and ironed attire and use a quality attar (natural perfume oil). Tidy up the area chosen for the programme (home, hall or Masjid) and Smoke it with Loban or Bakhoor smoke. Do not engage in any worldly conversations; do the programme with full attention and devotion.

Start after Taraweeh prayers, and recite:

1. Darood e Khizry 333 times
2. First Kalimah 333 times
3. Ya Hayy’u Ya Qayyum 333 times
4. Surah Yasin once
5. Surah Rahman once
6. Ya Salam’u 300 times
7. Keep reciting Ya Hayy’u Ya Qayyum all the time till the Tahajjud time. Do fresh Wuzu and get ready for Tahajjud.
8. Tahajjud Salat should be established as given below:

Twelve Rakats should be offered collectively in 6 pairs of two.

• In Rakat one, recite Surah Qadr once after Surah Fatiha, in Rakat two recite it twice, continue in this manner until you finally recite Surah Qadr 12 times in the twelfth Rakat.
• After each set of four Rakats recite Darood e Khizry eleven times.

On completion of Tahajjud Salat, read the following Dua:

اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ السَّلامُ ، ومِنكَ السَّلامُ ، تباركْتَ يَاذا الجلالِ والإكرام

(ALLAHUMMA ANTA SALAAM, WA MINKA SALAAM, TABARAKTA YAA DHAL JALALI WAL IKRAAAM)

“O Allah, You are the Perfect Peace and from You comes peace, exalted You are, O Lord of Majesty and Honour.”

Then read Darood e Ibrahimi:

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ .إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ

اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ، وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ .إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ

Allahumma salli ala Muhammadinw wa ala Aali Muhammadin kamaa sallaita ala Ibrahima wa ala aali Ibrahima innaka Hamidum Majeed. Allahumma baarik ala Muhammadinw wa ala Aali Muhammadin kamaa baarakta ala Ibrahima wa ala aali Ibrahima innaka Hamidum Majeed.

“O Allah, let Your Blessings come upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have blessed Ibrahim and his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. O Allah, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have blessed Ibrahim and his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious”.

Then read Surah Al-Kafirun, Surah Ikhlas, Surah Al-Falaq and Surah An-Nas and the last verses of Surah Al-Baqarah:

لِّلَّهِ ما فِي السَّمَاواتِ وَمَا فِي الأَرْضِ وَإِن تُبْدُواْ مَا فِي أَنفُسِكُمْ أَوْ تُخْفُوهُ يُحَاسِبْكُم بِهِ اللّهُ فَيَغْفِرُ لِمَن يَشَاء وَيُعَذِّبُ مَن يَشَاء وَاللّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ﴿٢٨٤﴾ آمَنَ الرَّسُولُ بِمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِن رَّبِّهِ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ كُلٌّ آمَنَ بِاللّهِ وَمَلآئِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ لاَ نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِّن رُّسُلِهِ وَقَالُواْ سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا غُفْرَانَكَ رَبَّنَا وَإِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ ﴿٢٨٥﴾ لاَ يُكَلِّفُ اللّهُ نَفْسًا إِلاَّ وُسْعَهَا لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ رَبَّنَا لاَ تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِن نَّسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا رَبَّنَا وَلاَ تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَا إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِنَا رَبَّنَا وَلاَ تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لاَ طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ وَاعْفُ عَنَّا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَآ أَنتَ مَوْلاَنَا فَانصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ ﴿٢٨٦﴾

Now read the following Dua, followed by Darood e Ibrahimi:

اَللّٰھُمَّ اِنَّا نَسئَلُکَ اِیمَاناً مُّستَقِیماً وَّ فَضلاً دَائماً وَّنَظَراًرَّحمَہً وَّ عَقَلاًکَامِلاً  وّعِلماً نَافِعاًوَّ قَلباً مُنَوَّراً وَّ تَوفیقاً اِحساناً وَّ صَبراً جَمیلاً وَّ اَجراً عَظِیماً وَّ لِسَاناً ذَاکِراً وَّ بَدَناً صَابِراً وَّ رِزقاً وَّاسِعاً وَّ سَسَعیاً مَشکُوراً وَّ ذنباًمَّغفُوراً وَّ عَمَلاًمَقبُولاً وَّ دُعاءً مُستَجَاباً وَّلِقَاءً نَصِیباً وَّ جَنَّتہً فِردَوساً وَّ نَعِیماً مُقیِیماً وَّ صَلَّی اللّٰہُ عَلٰی سَیَّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَّ اٰلِہٖ وَ اَصحٰبِہٖ اَجمَعِینَ بِرَحمَتِکَ یَا اَرحَمَ الرّٰحِمِینَ ●

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ .إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ

اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ، وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ .إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ

9. Immediately, after this, do the Muraqba of Martaba e Ishan, collectively, with the following in mind: “Allah is watching me”. Stay in Muraqba for 15 to 20 minutes.
10. Recite Surah Muzamil once.
11. Read یَا وَھَّابُ [Ya Wahab’u] 300 times.
12. Read the following 300 times:

بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ اَلْوَاسِعُ جَلَّ جَلَا لُہ یَابَدِیْعَ الْعَجَائِبِ بِاالْخَیْرِ یَا بَدِیْعُ

13. Read Ya Hayy’u Ya Qayyum till Suhoor time.
14. Have Suhoor
15. Establish Fajr Salat
16. Read Ya Hayy’u Ya Qayyum 100 times
17. Read the third Kalimah 11 times

سُبْحَان اللّهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ وَ لآ اِلهَ اِلّا اللّهُ، وَ اللّهُ اَكْبَرُ وَلا حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّة ِلَّا بِاللّهِ الْعَلِىّ الْعَظِيْم

18. Read Darood e Khizry 100 times
19. Do the following Muraqba for 10 minutes:

“Blue light from sky is showering down upon me”

At Iftar time either invite people for Iftar or provide food for Iftar as much as you can afford.
