***EID-ul-Fitr | 1st Shawwal | A'amal | Eid salat***: 'Common' laylatul Qadr Amal of 23rd Night

The 23rd Night -Laylatul Qadr

Laylatul-Qadr is the night, which is the best night among the nights of the whole year. The "A'maal" (religious performances) of this night are better than the A'maal of 1000 months. In this night the divine Annual Decree is passed. The Angels and Roohul Ameen (A highly dignified Angel) descend on this earth, in that night. These call on the Imam of the time, and what is ordained (by Allah) for everybody is presented before the Imam.

The twenty-third night of Ramadhan, the last of the Qadr Nights, is more meritorious than the 19th & 21st & many narrations confirm that it is the Qadr Night at which all affairs are decided.

In addition to the General a'amal at all the three Qadr Nights, there are other 'specific additional a'amal' for the 23rd night :-

1. Recite Surahs of al-`Ankabut (No. 29)

Imam al-Sadiq (a.s) is reported to have said, “Anyone who recites these two Surahs at this night will be included with the people of Paradise.” + Recite Surah of al-Dukhan (No. 44).

2. It is recommended to repeat Surah of al-Qadr (No97)thousand times.

3. The night is inextricably linked to the Imam of our time Recite this Special Salaat of Imam & Dua from Sahifa Mahdi.

اللّهُمّ امْدُدْ لِي فِي عُمْرِي

وَأَوْسِعْ لِي فِي رِزْقِي

وَأَصِحّ لِي جِسْمِي

وَبَلّغْنِي أَمَلِي

وَإِنْ كُنْتُ مِنَ الأَشْقِيَاءِ فَامْحُنِي مِنَ الأَشْقِيَاءِ

وَاكْتُبْنِي مِنَ السّعَدَاءِ

فَإِنّكَ قُلْتَ فِي كِتَابِكَ المُنْزَلِ عَلَى نَبِيّكَ المُرْسَلِ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ

(يَمْحُو اللّهُ مَايَشَاءُ وَيُثْبِتُ وَعِنْدَهُ أُمّ الكِتَابِ)

فِي لَيْلَةِ القَدْرِ

مِنَ القَضَاءِ الّذِي لا يُرَدّ وَلا يُبَدّلُ

أَنْ تَكْتُبَنِي مِنْ حُجَّاجِ بَيْتِكَ الحَرَامِ

يَا بَاطِناً فِي ظُهُورِهِ

ويَا ظَاهِراً فِي بُطُونِهِ

وَيَا بَاطِناً لَيْسَ يَخْفَى

وَيَا ظَاهِراً لَيْسَ يُرَى

يَا مَوْصُوفاً لا يَبْلُغُ بِكَيْنُونَتِهِ مَوْصُوفٌ وَلا حَدّ مَحْدُودٌ

وَيَا غَائِباً غَيْرَ مَفْقُودٍ

وَيَا شَاهِداً غَيْرَ مَشْهُودٍ

يُطْلَبُ فَيُصَابُ

وَلَمْ يَخْلُ مِنْهُ السّمَاوَاتُ وَالأَرْضُ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ

لا يُدْرَكُ بِكَيْفٍ

وَلا يُؤَيّنُ بِأَيْنٍ وَلا بِحَيْثٍ

أَنْتَ نُورُ النّورِ وَرَبّ الأَرْبَابِ

أَحَطْتَ بِجَمِيعِ الأُمورِ

سُبحَانَ مَنْ لَيْسَ كَمِثِلهِ شَيْءٌ

وَهُوَ السّميعُ البَصيرُ

سبحَانَ مَنْ هُوَ هكَذَا وَلا هَكَذَا غَيْرُه
