A BRIEF SKETCH OF THE LIVES OF THE WIVES OF SAYYIDUNA RASULULLAH (S).

A. Sayyida KHADIJAH (r)
This noble lady belonged to the Quraish tribe. She is also known as "Khatijatul Kubra" or "Khadijah the Great." Sayyiduna Rasulullah (s) married her when he was 25 years old and she was 40 years old. She was a very devoted wife, companion and counselor, ever ready to stand by Sayyiduna Rasulullah (s) in all trials and tribulations. She proved to be an immense support and help to the Cause of Islam. She passed away at the age of 65 years on the 11th of Ramadaan - 10 years after the first revelation. Sayyiduna Rasulullah (s) has said about her: "The noblest women of the world are Sayyida Mariam (alaiha as-salaam) and Sayyida Khadijah (r)." (Bukhari Shareef)

B. Sayyida SA'UDA (r)
Sayyida Sa'uda (r) was a widow and the daughter of Sayyida Zama (r). She married Sayyiduna Rasulullah (s) after Sayyida Khadijah (r) had passed away. Sayyiduna Rasulullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) was then 55 years old. She was generous, affectionate and kind. The reason for his marriage was that he needed someone to care for his children so that he could concentrate on the heavy responsibilities of Prophethood. Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (r) has said about her: "It is only Sa'uda, on seeing whom, I wish my soul lived in her body." Sayyida Sa'uda (r) passed away in 55 A.H.

C. Sayyida AISHA SIDDIQA (r)
She was the daughter of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (r) and was unmarried. In the 10th year of the mission, Sayyiduna Rasulullah (s) married her. Since she was very young at the time of her marriage, she only began to live with him in Madinatul Munawwarah in 2 A.H. He married Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (r) in order to strengthen the ties of friendship with Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (r), his closest friend and also so that she could teach other women. Sayyida Aisha (r) led a very simple life without comfort and luxury. She dressed very simple. She served Sayyiduna Rasulullah (s) with utmost devotion and he loved her very much. She led a very pious life.

When Sayyiduna Rasulullah (s) passed away, she was 25 years old. Thereafter, she lived for another 48 years and saw the rule of all the four Khulafaa. She is remembered for her intelligence, intuition, her knowledge of Hadith and principles of religion, secrets of Islamic knowledge, Arabic literature, piety and Islamic Fiqh.

Salat ut Tasbih

Salat ut Tasbih

Salatul Tasbih

For forgiveness of All Sins
Benefits of Salat-Ul-Tasbih
Our Beloved Prophet Mohammed (Sallallaho Alihiwassallam) said to his uncle (father’s brother) Sayyiduna Abbass (may Allah be pleased with him) Oh uncle shall I not give you Shall I not grant you Shall I not award you Shall I not do mercy on you When you do 10 things Allah will forgive your sins: of the future and of the past; new and old; those you have forgotten and those you did knowingly; big and small; hidden and revealed. Then he (Sallallaho Alihiwassallam) explained the taught the way to pray Salatul Tasbih and then said if you can pray this salah once a day, if you can not pray once a day then every Friday, and even if this is not possible then once a month and even if this is not possible then once a year and even if this is not possible then at least once in a lifetime (Abu’Dawood & Tirimzi)
How to perform Salatul Tasbih?
This salaat (namaz) is offered in four rakat at a time and can be read in any part of the day and night besides Zawal and Sunrise and Sunset makrooh times, keeping in mind the forbidden times for performing Salat (namaaz). But is is preferred before Zuhr (Fatawa Alamgeeri)
The Tasbih to be read in Salaat-Ul-Tasbeeh:
" Subhaan Allahi Wal Hamdulillahi Wa Laa ilaha illal Laahu Wallahu Akbar "
Method:
Goal is to recite above Tasbih 300 times in Four Rakah with the following method.
In the first rakaat, after reading Sana "Subhaana Kallahumma...", read the above tasbih 15 times.
Now recite Aaoz "Aoozubillah...", Bismillah "Bismillah...", Then read sura Fatiha and a Surah or minimum of three small Ayayhs then read the tasbih 10 times again.
Go to ruku saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar), after reciting "Subhaana Rabbiyal Azeem" minimum of three times read the tasbih 10 times in Ruku.
Saying "Samee Allahu Liman Hamidah Rabbana Lakal Hamdh" get up from ruku to qiyam position.
Now read the tasbih 10 times.
Go to Sajdah saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar) and after reciting "Subhaana Rabbiyal A'la" minimum of three times read the tasbih 10 times in Sajdah.
Now go after first Sajdah go to Jalsa (sitting position) saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar). Sitting in Jalsa read tasbih 10 times.
Go to sajda again saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar) and after reciting "Subhaana Rabbiyal A'la" minimum of three times read the tasbih 10 times in Sajdah again.
Get up to begin 2nd rakat saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar).
Do rakah #2 in same fashion, but before reading Bismillah "Bismillah...", and Surah Fatiha, read the tasbih 15 times. Follow the rest as you did in first Rakat.
After second Sajdah of Second Rakat sit in Qaidah Oola (first sitting) read Attahiyat, Durood and Dua then get up for 3rd rakaat without saying Salam.
Begin third Rakat, just like the first Rakat, with Sana "Subhaana Kallahumma...", read the above tasbih 15 times. Follow the rest as you did in first Rakat untill you sit for Qaidah Akihra (last sitting) after second sajdah of fourth Rakah.
In Qaidah Akihra Attahiyat, Durood, Dua finish Salah with Salam.
Special notes for Salat-Ul-Tasbih:
1) Do not count loudly. It will break Salah
2) Do not count on fingers or by holding a Bead Tasbih in hand. It is Makruh.
3) You may count by pressing the fingers as a reminder. For example if you are in Ruku. You me press pinky of your right hand first for the first count, then the finger next to it for second count, then the middle finger for third count, following this method untill you reach the pinky of left hand will give you an exact count of ten. Use the same method in Qayam, Sajdah and Jalsa.
4) If missed a count then make it up in the next posture. For example if forgot to recite Tasbih after Surah in Qayam. Then you may recite Tasbish 20 times instead of 10 in Rukuh after "Subhaana Rabbiyal Azeem". Missed Tasbih cannot be recited in Qayam after ruku and Jalsa between Sajdah. If you missed the Tasbih in Ruku then recite 20 in the first Sajdah instead of the Qayam after rukuh. Similarly if missed the Tasbih in first Sajdah then do not make it up in Jalsa. Instead recite missed tasbih in the second Sajdah. If Tasbih has been missed in last sajdah of second or fourth Rakah then you can recite the missed ones before Attahiyat in Qaidah.
5) If you miss a wajib in Salah and have to do Sajdah Sahaw. You dont have to recite Tasbih in Sajdah sahoo, since the 300 count has been estalished. But if you had missed Tasbih in any of the postures and remeber it now. Then you may recite the missed Tasbih in Sajdah Sahaw now.
6) It is preferable to recite after Surah Fatiha Sura Takathuur in the first raka’, Surah Wal A’sr in the second raka’, Surah Kaferoon (qul ya aiyuhal Kafiroon) in the third and Surah Akhlas (Qul hu Allah-hu ahd) in the fourth raka’. If one does not remember these surah they can recite the ones they prefer.
May Allah accept this dua’ (supplication) for the sake of the trustworthy PROPHET MOHAMMED (Allah’s Grace & Peace be upon him)

Salat ut-Tasbih

Salat-ut-Tasbih

Salat ut-Tasbih is authentically proven from many Hadiths which are Sahih/Hasan themselves or due to multiple chains which strengthen them overall. It has been practice of real Salaf as-Saliheen plus great classical scholars held it in high esteem.

Proof # 1

Imam Tirmidhi (rah) has made a whole chapter title as “بابُ ما جَاءَ في صَلاةَ التسْبيحِ” which means: “Chapter in regards to what has been narrated about Salat ut Tasbih” and he brought under it many hadiths plus he also proved that many Salaf considered it as a virtuous act. I shall present some ahadith from his chapter along with authentication given by Wahabi scholar Zubair Ali Zai (so that Salafis are not left with excuses). Let us first look at explicit statement by Imam Tirmidhi (rah):

وقد رُوِيَ عنِ النبيِّ غيرُ حديثٍ في صلاةِ التسبيحِ ولا يصح منهُ كبيرُ شيءٍ.
وقد رَوَى ابنُ المباركِ وغيرُ واحدٍ من أهلِ العلمِ صلاةَ التسبيحِ وذكرُوا الفضلَ فيه.

Translation: Many hadiths are reported from the Prophet (Peace be upon him) on salat ut-Tasbih, but most of them are not sahih (meaning some are indeed Sahih) Ibn Mubarak (R.A) and many people of knowledge have narrated about salat ut tasbih and its virtues.-End Quote – [Jami Tirmidhi, Volume No.2, Page No. 509, Published by Dar ul Kutb al iLmiyyah, Beirut, Lebanon]

Proof # 2


حدثنا أبو كُرَيْبٍ (محمدُ بن العَلاَءِ ) حدثنا زيدُ بنُ حُبَابٍ العُكْلِيُّ حدثنا موسى بنُ عُبَيْدَةَ قال: حدثني سعيدُ بن أبي سَعِيدٍ مولَى أبي بكرِ بنِ محمدِ بن عمرِو بن حَزْمٍ عن أبي رافعٍ ، قال: قال رسولُ الله للعباسِ:

«يا عمِّ ألا أصِلُكَ ألا أحْبُوكَ ألاَ أنفَعُكَ قال: بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ الله قال: يا عَمِّ صَلِّ أربعَ ركعَاتٍ تقرأُ في كلِّ ركعةٍ بفاتحةِ الكتابِ وسورةٍ، فإذا انْقَضَتْ القراءةُ فقل: الله أكبرُ والحمدُ لله وسبحانَ الله خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ مَرَّةً قبلَ أن تركعَ، ثم اركْع فَقُلْها عشراً، ثم ارفعْ رَأْسَكَ فَقُلْهَا عشراً، ثم اسجدْ فَقُلْها عشراً ثم ارْفَعْ رأْسَكَ فَقُلْها عشراً ثم اسْجُدْ فقلْها عشراً ثم ارفعْ رأسَكَ فقلْها عشراً قبل أن تَقُومَ، فذلك خمسٌ وسبعونَ في كلِّ ركعةٍ وهي ثلاثُ مائةٍ في أربعِ ركعاتٍ ولو كانت ذُنوبُكَ مِثْلَ رَمْلِ عَالَجٍ غَفَرَها الله لك. قالَ يَا رَسُولَ الله ومَنْ يستطيعُ أن يقُولَها في يومٍ؟ 

قال إنْ لم تَسْتَطِعْ أن تقولَها في يومٍ فَقُلْها في جمعةٍ، فإنْ لم تَسْتَطِعْ أن تقولَها في جمعةٍ فَقُلْها في شَهْرٍ، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يقولُ له حتَّى قال فَقُلها في سَنَةٍ». قال أبو عيسى: هذا حديثٌ غريبٌ من حديث أبي رافعٍ.

Translation: Abu Rafi (R.A) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (Peace be upon him) said to Abbas (R.A), “O Uncle! Shall I not join ties with you? Shall I not give you? Shall I not benefit you?” He said, “Of course, O Messenger of Allah!” So, he said, “O Uncle! Pray four raka’at. recite in each raka’ah the Surah Fatiha and a Surah and when you have finished the recital, say (Allahu Akbar Wal Hamdulillah Wa Subhan Allah) fifteen times before making the ruku. Then go into the ruku and repeat them ten times. Then raise your head and say the words ten times. Then go into prostrations and repeat them ten times, and raise your head and say the words ten times. Then prostrate and say the words ten times, and (again) raise your head and repeat them ten times before you stand up. So, this is (in all) seventy five in each raka’ah and it three hundred in all four rak’at. Even if your sins are like the sand particles of Aalij, Allah will forgive them for you”. He ( Abbas (R.A) said, “O Messenger of Allah! Who can stand up for it every day?” He said, “If you cannot establish it every day, then observe it on Friday. And if you cannot do that every Friday then observe it every month”. And he did not cease to say that until he said, “Offer it once in a year”.

Imam Tirmidhi (R.A) said: This hadith as narrated by Abu Rafi is Gharib.[Jami Tirmidhi (2/514)] 

The Salafi(Wahabi) scholar Zubair Ali Zai declared this hadith as “HASAN (FAIR)” [Sunnan Tirmidhi Published by Salafi(Wahabi) publishing house Dar us Salam Volume No.1, Page No. 486]

 

Proof # 3

حدثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بنُ بِشْرِ بنِ الْحَكَمِ النَيْسَابُورِيُّ أخبَرَنَا مُوسَى بنُ عَبْدِ العَزِيزِ أخبَرَنَا الْحَكَمُ بنُ أَبَانَ عن عِكْرِمَةَ عنْ ابن عَبَّاسٍ أَنْ رَسُولَ الله صلى الله عليه وسلّم قال لِلعَبَّاسِ بنِ عَبْدِ المُطَّلِبِ

Imam Abu Dawud also narrated the above hadith from Sayyidna Abbas (RA) with a different chain of narrators. [Sunnan Abu Dawud, Hadith # 1297] 

Again the Salafi(Wahabi) scholar Zubair Ali Zai who is considered as a champion over hadith sciences has declared this hadith as “HASAN” [Sunnan Abu Dawud, Published by Dar us Salam, Volume No.2, Page No. 96] Also remember that Silence of Imam Abu Dawud (rah) is itself proof of his authentication.

Proof # 4

Imam al-Hakim (rah) has also made a whole chapter on “Salat ut-Tasbih” and after bringing under it many ahadith from different Sahaba he says:

وقد صحّت الرواية عن عبد الله بن عمر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنهما أن رسول الله علم ابن عمّه جعفر بن أبي طالب رضي الله عنه هذه الصلاة كما علّمها عمّه العباس رضي الله عنه.

Translation: This report is also authentically reported from Abdullah bin Umar bin Khattab (RA) that the Prophet (Peace be upon him) taught his Uncle Jafar bin Abi Talib (ra) just like he taught his uncle Abbas (RA)

He then says:

هذا إسناد صحيح لا غبار عليه، ومما يستدل به على صحة هذا الحديث استعمال الأئمة من أتباع التابعين إلى عصرنا هذا إياه، ومواظبتهم عليه، وتعليمه الناس منهم عبد الله بن المبارك رحمة الله عليه.

Translation: This chain is “SAHIH AND THERE IS NO GHUBAAR (DOUBT) ON IT” Another proof of it being sahih is that Scholars of hadith have “ USED IT” and also taught people for doing the same, this has been happening since the time of those following “Tabiyeen” This includes people like Abdullah bin Mubarak – Rahimuhullah Alaih. [Mustadrak al Hakim ala Sahihayn (1/464)] 

Imam al-Hakim (rah) then says about Imam Ibn Mubarak (ra)

رواة هذا الحديث عن ابن المبارك كلهم ثقات أثبات ولا يتهم عبد الله أن يعلّمه ما لم يصح عنده سنده.

Translation: Those narrating this hadith from Ibn Mubarak are “ALL THIQA THABIT (UTTERLY RELIABLE)”and Ibn Mubarak cannot be accused that he preached something which was not sahih according to himself. [Mustadrak al Hakim ala Sahihayn (1/464)]

Translation: The Hafidh (i.e. Imam al-Mundhiri) said: This hadith is narrated through “MANY WAYS” and many Sahaba have narrated similar to the hadith of Akrama. It is also declared as “SAHIH BY JAMAAT”which includes scholars like: 1)Hafidh Abu Bakr al-Ajri, 2)My Sheikh Abu Muhammad Abdur Raheem al-Misri, 3) My Sheikh Abul Hasan al-Maqdisi – Rahimuhullah Ta’la [Targheeb wa Tarheeb (1/267)]

Summary of the article is that Salat ut-Tasbeeh is a permissible rather highly recommended act of worship, which is taught by Prophet (Peace be upon him), practiced by Sahaba/Tabiyeen and strengthened by practise of great scholars.

DURAD-E-IBRAHIMI

Friday is the sixth day in Islamic week. The literal meaning of Friday is congregation. In islam, this day is given the most importance than any other days of the week. Every Friday, prayer of jummah is offered and for this prayer special time is taken.

                                   

Imams of all masjids deliver khutbah on a special topic eveyr Friday. This practice is being practiced by muslims even before the migration of Muhammad s.a.w.w from makkah ro madinah, but in low numbers (reference ibn-e majah  1082).

From various ahadith, it is proven that Muhammad s.a.w.w used to celebrate this day and he declared jummah as weekly eid for muslims. He s.a.w.w used to wear  clean and new (washed) clothes, used to take bath, wear fragrance , wear surmah for this day specially.

Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.w described the virtues of jummah prayer in the following hadith with these words;
" When the Friday comes, at every door of the Masjid there stands Angels who write down ( the names of ) those who come First, then who comes next. When the Imam sits down, the records are closed and they come to listen to the reminder , i.e. the Khutba...."
Muslim 1984.

From authentic ahadith, it is taken that prophet Muhammad s.a.w.w advised muslims to recite surah al-kahf on every Friday to keep safe from the fitnah of dajjal.

While the fast on jummah is forbidden i.e. the single fast in a week cannot be observed on jummah but it can be observed in pair i.e. with with Thursday or with Saturday.

From the history , it is proven that jummah was most important day for the previous nations as well. It is still considered a blessed day in many religions for example Hinduism. Thus, Friday is considered a special and important day right from the very beginning of humanity.

"Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) said, "Any person who takes a bath on Friday like the bath of Janaba and then goes for the prayer (in the first hour i.e. early), it is as if he had sacrificed a camel (in Allah's cause); and whoever goes in the second hour it is as if he had sacrificed a cow; and whoever goes in the third hour, then it is as if he had sacrificed a horned ram; and if one goes in the fourth hour, then it is as if he had sacrificed a hen; and whoever goes in the fifth hour then it is as if he had offered an egg. When the Imam comes out (i.e. starts delivering the Khutba), the angels present themselves to listen to the Khutba."

While performing the wiping of the feet, one should say:

O Lord! Keep me firm on the Bridge (to Paradise) on the Day when the feet will slip, and help me in my efforts to do things which will please You, O' Glorious and Mighty!.

Alla humma thabbitni alas sirati yawma tazillu fihil aqdam. Waj'al sa'yi fi ma yurzika 'anni ya zal jalali wal ikram.

STAYING IN THE STATE OF WODHOO

‘Ablution is half of faith.’The Prophet (SAWA) [Bihar al-Anwar,   v. 80, p. 238, no. 12
 

‘He who renews his ablution without [the need
   to do so to purify] an impurity, Allah renews his repentance without him
   [needing to] asking for forgiveness.’ Imam al-Sadiq (AS) [Wasael al-Shi`aah , v. 1, p. 264, no.7

‘He who performs ablution whilst already in a
   state of purity is given ten good merits.’ The Prophet (SAWA) [Kanz al-`Ummal, no. 26042

‘He who performs the ablution in the freezing cold weather is given twice the reward, and he who performs the ablution
   in the extreme heat is given a single share of the reward.’ Kanz al-`Ummal, no. 26059

‘When the Muslim man performs the ablution,
   mistakes committed by his hearing, his sight, his hands and his feet leave him so that when he sits, he sits forgiven.’

‘When the servant performs the ablution, his sins shed away from him just as leaves shed from a tree.’

From the book titled  وتذكرة الصالحين ذخيرة المؤمنين Thakheerat al-Mu’mineen wa Tathkirat al-Saliheen by Sayyid Mujtaba al-Suwaij. We solicit your supplications. Translated by Br Yasin Jibouti

Perform ablution according to the way it is performed by Muhammed and the Progeny of Muhammed, Allah’s peace and blessings with him and with them all.

I seek refuge with Allah, the Hearing, the Knowing, from Satan the Accursed, the best to say is “In the Name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful.” 

There is no god save Allah; Muhammed is the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah with him and with his Progeny, Ali i surely an obedient servant of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah with him; Fatima is the one chosen by Allah (for honors), peace with her; al-Hassan and al-Hussain are loved by Allah, peace with them both; may Allah inflict His curse on those who hate them, those who hate the Progeny of Muhammed, Allah’s peace and blessings with him and with his Progeny. Peace with the Progeny of Ya-Sin; Allah blesses Muhammed and the Progeny of Muhammed, and may He speed up their ease, and may He curse their enemies. 

Below are the verbs and statements relevant to ablution (wudu’), the one performed by the Commander of the Faithful Ali, peace with him: 

Allah Almighty has said,O you who believe! When you prepare for prayer, wash your faces, and your hands (and arms) to the elbows; rub your heads (with water), and (wash) your feet to the ankles (Qur’an, 5:6). 

First, you make the intention that you are going to perform the ablution seeking nearness to Allah Almighty saying, “In the Name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful.” Our master al-Hussain, the lantern of guidance and the boat of salvation, peace with him, has said, “One who performs ablution, mentioning the Name of Allah, his entire body becomes tahir (cleansed of impurities), and from the time he performs the ablution to the time when he repeats it, his sins will be forgiven. If one does not pronounce this Basmala, he will be purifying of his body only wherever water touches it.” You should say, “Peace with the Progeny of Ya-Sin.” Our master, the Hujja (proof of the mercy of Allah) from among the Progeny of Muhammed, Allah’s peace and blessings with him and with his Progeny, has said, “If you wish we intercede on your behalf with Allah Almighty, and with our own selves, you should say just as Allah Almighty has said: Salaam `ala Aali-Ya-Sin (peace with the Progeny of Ya-Sin).” 

1. Washing the hands, which is highly commendable: Once you see water, you should say, “In the Name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful; praise belongs to Allah Who has made water a means of purification; He has made Islam a light and did not make it unclean.” When you wash, you should say, “O Allah! Count me among those whose repentance You accept, and count me among those who seek to purify themselves.”
2. Washing the mouth (gargling), which is also highly commendable: You should say: “O Allah! Inspire me to pronounce my argument on the Day when I shall meet You [at the time of death], and let my tongue be free mentioning and lauding You.”
3. Inhalation, the drawing of water into the nostrils, which is also highly commendable: You should say: “O Allah! Do not prohibit me from inhaling the fragrance of Paradise; let me be among those who smell its fragrance, its air, its perfume, its aromas.”
4. Washing the face, which is obligatory, from the area where hair grows up to the bottom of the chin, the index and middle fingers, and it is highly commendable to say: “O Allah! Whiten my face on the day when faces are white, and do not blacken my face on the Day when faces become black. O Allah! Whiten my face on the day when faces become black, and do not blacken my face on the Day when faces become white.”
5. Washing the right hand, which is obligatory, from the elbow to the fingertips: It is highly commendable to say: “O Allah! Give me my book in my right hand, and in my left hand give me eternity in the Gardens, and do judge me easily.”
6. Washing the left hand, which is obligatory, from the elbow to the fingertips: It is highly commendable to say the following when you do it: “O Allah! Do not give me my book in my left hand, nor behind my back, and do not let it be tied to my neck, and I seek refuge with You against the patches of the Fires.”
7. Washing the front part of the head with the right hand which is wet from ablution’s water, which is also mandatory: It is highly commendable to say the following when you do it: “O Allah! Overwhelm me with Your mercy, blessings, forgiveness and healing from afflictions.”
8. Rubbing the outside of the right foot from the fingertips to the connector with the remaining wetness of the right hand, which is obligatory: It is highly commendable to say the following as you do it: “O Allah! Keep my feet firm on the Straight Path on the Day when feet slip away, render my deeds appreciated in whatever pleases You with me, O One with the Honor and Greatness.”
9. Rubbing the outside of the left foot from the fingertips with the wetness of the left hand, which is obligatory: It is highly commendable to say the following when you do it: “O Allah! Keep my feet firm on the Straight Path on the Day when feet slip away, render my deeds appreciated in whatever pleases You with me, O One with the Honor and Greatness.

 The Commander of the Faithful, peace with him, has said, “If one performs his ablution as I do and says as I say, Allah Almighty will create of each drop of (his ablution water) an angel that praises Him and holds Him as Holy while magnifying Him, and Allah will write down the rewards for so doing to such an individual up to the Day of Judgment.” 

Moreover, it is highly recommended to recite the Surat al-Qadr (Chapter 97 of the Holy Qur’an) three times so you may receive rewards from the Almighty equivalent to what is received by the one who spoke to Allah (prophet Moses), the one who was anointed (prophet Jesus Christ), the one who was raised to the highest pinnacle and who is loved the most by Allah (Prophet Muhammed, peace and blessings of Allah with him and his Progeny).
