The Night of the 15th of Sha'ban & A'mal!!

***!!!REMINDER!!!***

Prophet Muhammad (saw) had said that during the night of 15th Shaaban the Almighty Allah (SWT) takes decisions in the matters of sustenance, life and death and welfare of the people.

Next to the "Night of Qadr" the night of 15th Shaban, Lailatul Barat is the most auspicious night (also known as Shab-e-Barat or Night of Baraat). According to Imam Muhammad bin Ali Al-Baqir (as) and Imam Ja'far bin Muhammad As Sadiq (as), the Almighty Allah (SWT) has promised to fulfill every legitimate desire put forward to Him tonight.

Night of Bara'ah or Lailatul Barat is a night in which special blessings are directed towards the Muslims as mentioned earlier. Therefore, this night should be spent in total submission to Almighty Allah (SWT), and one should refrain from all those activities, which may displease Allah (SWT).

In order to observe the Night of Bara'ah or Shab-e-Barat, one should remain awakened in this night as much as he can. If someone has better opportunities, he should spend the whole night in worship and prayer. However, if one cannot do so for one reason or another, he can select a considerable portion of the night, preferably of the second half of it for this purpose.

Special Prayers and Aamal for the night of 15th Shaban or Shab-e-Barat:

  • Do Ghusl (ablution) with the thought of washing away sins and as if it's your last Ghusl
  • Keep awake for the full night in prayer as it has many rewards
  • Astaghfirullah Tasbih with attention / Dua-e-Tawba (Repentance)
(Part 2 )


  • Surah Yaseen (Choose # 36 from Link Below)



  • Recite Ziyarat of Imam Hussain (A.S.)

OR


  • Recite Dua-e-Kumayl


  • Dua-e-Imam al Asr (A.S.) Salutation to the Imam on the Eve of his Birth



  • Recite Tasbih: Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah) ------------------------- 100 times
  • Recite Tasbih: Alhamdulillah (Praise belongs to Allah) ------------------- 100 times
  • Recite Tasbih: Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest) ----------------------- 100 times
  • Recite Tasbih: Laa Ilaha illAllah (There is no lord worthy of worship except Allah) --- 100 times

Also to remind,
