Bismillah, As Salaamu Aalaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu,


Alhamdulillah. Indeed, all praise is due to Allah. We praise Him and seek His help and
forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allah from our souls evils and our wrongdoing. He
whom Allah guides, no one can misguide; and he whom He misguides, no one can guide.
I bear witness that there is no god except Allah alone without any partners. And I bear
witness that Muhammad (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) is His servant and messenger.
JazakAllah khairan for your support! Ramadan Battle Plan continues to improve year by
year thanks to your feedback and support. I spend months working and reworking every
detail and placement that at times I end up with more than one design. I keep doing that
until I land on a design that I like and that I feel is the best one. I know there may be things
I missed and if there is anything you feel needs to be in the planner but isnt go to www.
RamadanBattlePlan.com/feedback/ and let me know. :)
To gain the most from this planner its best if you print it and do the exercises. This year I
expanded the Goal Setting Like a Champ to make it easier for you to map out your goals.
Also included a Command Center to help you stay on top of your Ramadan goal. Because
Shaban, Ramadan and Shawwal 2015 are expected to start in the middle of the Gregorian
months Ive included May through August.
May this planner be a source of barakah and sadaqah jariya for you, your family, progeny
and community. May it help you exceed your expectations and make this your best
Ramadan yet! AMEEN.

Usamah ibn Zayd (radiyAllahu anhu) said, I said, O Messenger of Allah, I do not see you fasting in
any other month like you fast in Shaban. He (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) said, That is a month to
which people do not pay attention, between Rajab and Ramadan, and it is a month in which deeds
are lifted up to the Lord of the Worlds. I like for my deeds to be lifted up when I am fasting. [alNasai]

Plan your Ramadan

BISMILLAH

Dont lose sight of TODAY

Mind your media intake.


If you fall short, dont beat yourself up.

Aisha (radiyAllahu anha) said that


Rasulullah (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam)
said: The deeds most loved by Allah
(subhanahu wa taala) are those done
regularly, even if they are small. [Bukhari &

Get rid of anything that interferes with


your Ramadan experience.
Keep a dua list.

The invocation of one who fasts will be


answered each time he breaks his fast (at
night) [Ibn Majah]

Muslim]

Charity begins at home; take care of your


family, friends and community.

Mind your speech.


Start an iftar fund today. Funds collected will easily sponsor an iftar at your local
masjid or in your home.
The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Whoever gives food to a fasting person with
which to break his fast, will have a reward equal to his, without it detracting in the slightest
from the reward of the fasting person. [At-Tirmithi]

Be aware of your time and schedule yourself ONE qiyam per week. As you become
increasingly accustomed to performing qiyam, increase the frequency to your level of
comfort.
Abu Umamah (radiyAllahu anhu) reported that the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi
wa sallam) said: I urge you to perform qiyam at night, because it was the consistent way
of the righteous people who preceded you, it is a means of coming closer to Your Lord, it
is a means of expiating your wrongdoings, and it is a restraint against sinning. [At-Tirmithi,
At-Tabarani and others verified to be hasan by Al-Albani]

Consider doing your major grocery shopping and laundry chores in Shaban.
One sister cooked enough for herself and family during the last week of Shaban to last the entire
month of Ramadan. She froze the food in meal-ready containers so all she had to do during
Ramadan was to thaw and heat them.

Clean your house BEFORE Ramadan, making it easier to maintain and freeing you up
for more acts of worship. The shayateen like to frequent filthy areas, so dont give
them a chance.
Automate your sadaqah starting in Ramadan, being sure to maintain a minimum bank
balance to avoid overdraft fees. The year-round sadaqah to your favorite nonprofit
provides you with steady hasanat, inshaAllah.
It is narrated on the authority of Amirul Muminin, Abu Hafs Umar bin al-Khattab,
(radiyAllahu anhum) who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam)
say: Actions are (judged) by motives (niyyah), so each man will have what he intended.
Thus, he whose migration (hijrah) was to Allah and His Messenger, his migration is to Allah
and His Messenger; but he whose migration was for some worldly thing he might gain, or
for a wife he might marry, his migration is to that for which he migrated. [Bukhari & Muslim]

If you give gifts for Eid, buy them ahead of time, so you can focus on the last ten days
of Ramadan properly.
At the end of Ramadan, look back and thank Allah for what youve accomplished and
ask Him to accept the good :)

FIQH OF RAMADAN
getting started

Abu Hurairah, (radiyAllahu anhu) reported that The Prophet, (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam)
said, When the month of Ramadan starts, the gates of the heaven are opened and the
gates of Hell are closed and the devils are chained.
Why, then, do we still have bad thoughts? It is a common question. Scholars say
that these thoughts originate from our own souls battered by satanic whisperings
and devices implanted in us. Another blessing of Ramadan now becomes
apparent. It is a time to see what has happened to our soul, what condition it is
in, and take notice of our shortcomings: jealousy, envy, overzealous competition,
love of gossip, and the rest. During Ramadan, these traits become clear, and a
clear enemy is easier to defeat than a slinking one. [Sh. Hamza Yusuf]
The Islamic month begins with one of two events:
1. Sighting of the new moon.

Ibn Umar, (radiyAllahu anhu) said, The people were looking for the new
moon and when I reported to the Messenger of Allah, (salAllahu alayhi wa
sallam) that I had seen it, he fasted and ordered the people to fast. [Abu Dawud]

1. Completion of 30 days.

Abu Hurairah, (radiyAllahu anhu) reported that the Messenger of Allah


(salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) instructed: Fast after you have seen it [the new
crescent] and end the fast [at the end of the month] when you see it. If it is
hidden from you, then wait until the thirty days of Shaban have passed. [Bukhari
& Muslim]

Dua upon sighting the crescent moon:


Allah is the greatest. O Allah, bring us the new moon with security and
Faith, with peace and in Islam, and in harmony with what our Lord loves
and what pleases Him. Our Lord and your Lord is Allah. [Tirmithi, Ad-Darimi]
Who is your community scholar? Once you know, ask when the fasting of Ramadan will
begin for your community.

Who is required to fast? Why?

Who is exempt from fasting? Why?

What are the conditions of intention for fardh (obligatory) fasting?

Dua for breaking the fast:


The thirst is gone, the veins are moistened and the reward is confirmed,
if Allah wills. [Abu Dawud & others]
O Allah, I ask You by Your mercy, which encompasses all things, that You
forgive me. [Ibn Majah]

ZAKAT UL-FITR

Prophet Muhammad (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) has said, Whoever paid it (Zakat ul-Fitr)
before Salat ul-Eid, it is acceptable zakat before Allah. Whoever paid it after Salat ul-Eid,
it is just a charity. The companions of the Prophet (radiyAllahu anhum) used to pay it a
few days earlier. [Al-Bukhari]
It is reported from Ibn Umar, (radiyAllahu anhu) that he said: The Messenger of Allah,
(salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) enjoined the payment of one sa of date or one sa of barley
as Zakat ul-Fitr on every Muslim, young and old, male and female, free and slave.[Bukhari
& Muslim]

What is Zakat ul-Fitr?

When is Zakat ul-Fitr supposed to be paid?

How much is one sa?

Who are the recipients?

How is it supposed to be paid?

To whom are those that zakat CANNOT be


given?

What is the difference between Zakat and Zakat ul-Fitr?

TARAWEEH

Narrated Abu Hurairah (radiyAllahu anhu): The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam)
said: Whoever establishes prayers during the nights of Ramadan faithfully out of sincere
faith and hoping to attain Allahs rewards (not for showing off), all his past sins will be
forgiven. -Bukhari

The Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Whoever stands with the
imam until he finishes (the prayer), the reward of Qiyam al-Layl will be recorded for him.
-At-Tirmidhi

TIPS

1. Avoid onions, garlic, spicy or highly scented foods and drinks so that you dont offend
your taraweeh neighbors in salat. Indulge in all those delicacies AFTER taraweeh.
It is related that Abdul-Aziz said, Anas was asked, What did you hear the Prophet,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say about garlic? He answered, Whoever
eats it should not come near our mosque. [Bukhari]

2. Eat light! Avoid overeating as it cause drowsiness, laziness, shortness of breath and
other discomforts during long prayers.
O Children of Adam! Take your adornment (by wearing your clean clothes), while
praying and going round (the Tawaf of ) the Kabah, and eat and drink but waste
not by extravagance, certainly He (Allah) likes not Al-Musrifun (those who waste by
extravagance). [Surah Al-Araf 7:31]

3. Rinse your mouth, floss and perform miswak to cleanse your breath and tongue.
It is related that Suwayd ibn an-Numan said, We set out for Khaybar with the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. When we were at asSahba (and Yahya says that is a days journey from Khaybar), the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, asked for food. Only sawiq* was brought.
We chewed and ate it. Then he called for water and rinsed his mouth out and we did
so as well, and then he led us in Maghrib without repeating wudu. Sufyan said, I
heard it from him, beginning to end. *sawiq: a mush made of wheat or barley. [Bukhari]

4. If body odor is a problem take a quick shower to freshen up.


Indeed, Allah loves those who are constantly repentant and loves those who purify
themselves. [Surah Al-Baqarah 2:222]

5. Wear comfortable clothes and keep in mind that with many people packed tightly
together in the summer heat, the temperature and tempers may be exacerbated. Keep
it clean and modest.
6. After iftar, head straight to the masjid, and if you have guests, bring them along!

7. Bring a sealable water bottle with you: 2/3 ice and 1/3 water. This will help you keep
hydrated during the long prayers. Too much water, however, will send you to the
bathroom, so choose wisely.
8. Put your phone on silent to avoid disrupting others prayers.
9. THE SHOES! During Ramadan the brothers shoe racks are in complete disarray.
PLEASE put your shoes on the rack neatly, in order to tidy up the area and make a
masjid experience better for others. Sisters, bring a plastic shopping bag for your
shoes. If there is no room on the shoe racks, you can put your shoes in the bag and
into your handbag.

PARENTS

1. No matter how young the child, some may find it offensive to see a child wearing
shoes in the prayer area. Place your childrens shoes inside a shopping bag and into
your handbag. Not only will it help keep the shoes section tidy, but it will also make
it easier for you to find the tiny shoes later.
2. Position yourself and your children at the end of a row to avoid gaps and disruption
during prayer. If possible, pray in the back rows.
3. Prepare light meals for your child to minimize bathroom or diaper breaks. Oh! And
change your babys diaper before leaving the house.
4. Bring fruit or vegetable snacks for when your children get hungry. Also bring their
favorite toy, pacifier or blanket to pacify them.
5. Make dua.

-Inspired by Sadaf Farooqis Children @ Taraweeh: Storm in a Teacup at MuslimMatters.org

NON-PARENTS

1. This is tough, but be patient. Be patient. Be patient. Our children are the future of this
beautiful Ummah. We are losing our youth in part because we push them away from
the masjid for our own convenience.
One question most Imams, Shuyukh, Duat, etc get asked is, How and
when did you know this is what you wanted to do? Well my answer to
this question has to do with attending Taraweeh in Ramadan. Alhamdulillah
since the age of about 5 my father used to take me to Taraweeh every night
in Ramadan, even on school nights. Around the time I was 8 I remember being
amazed by the imams recitation of the Quran from memory in Taraweeh. I
even told my father that I want to be able to do what he does. So biidhnillah
when the opportunity presented itself to go and memorize the Quran, I
jumped at it and insisted that I be allowed to go. Keep in mind that this
involved traveling overseas at the age of 10. Alhamdulillah, since then one
thing Allah has granted me the ability to do consistently is lead Taraweeh
every Ramadan. This was the beginning of my journey down the road of
seeking knowledge and serving the Deen.
-Abdul Nasir Jangda
Founder & Director of Qalam Institute

2. Make dua for the parents and the children; after all, we are one Ummah and our goal
is to enter Jannah. Plus, you get to have an angel say AMEEN, and to you too.
3. Know that everything that happens is a trial. Will you fail or pass? Increase in tolerance
or demand the future Mumineen-in-training to be removed?

GOAL
SETTING LIKE A CHAMP!
A goal without a plan is just a wish.
Design for laziness. Despite your enthusiasm and iman surge, your nafs will get in the
way. It happens. It happens to the best and most dedicated of us, so dont feel bad about
itPLAN for it.
If something requires us to exert just a little bit more effort, the chances well do it go way,
way down. Theres a huge difference, for example, between two clicks to get something
done and one click. - BJ Fogg

Most people plan for perfection, expecting to be 100% at all times. This is not sustainable.
So before those low-energy, low-motivation days get you, think of ways NOW to simplify
your tasks so that when they do occur, you have a plan of action that carries you through.
SIDE NOTE: Did you know that many Olympic athletes plan their training schedules
annually, and some even four years in advance, to ensure they reach their performance
goals? This helps them stay on track when pressure mounts and life happens, and it also
gives them a framework to adjust when needed. They go to bed early and take 90 minute
naps in the afternoon. We call that nap qailulah and its a sunnah! So prepare for Ramadan
like an elite athlete
This Ramadan will be different than any other because you will be an active rather than a
passive participant, inshaAllah.

A dream is a wish your heart makes,


but a goal is a dream with a deadline.
If you are having a hard time developing the steps to achieve your goal, then think of
what you want to achieve and work backwards. Keep the end in mind and make dua for
success.

SMART-Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-bound


A good plan has a clear cause and effect in attainable stages. A good plan is:

GOAL SETTING
S
M
A
R
T

SPECIFIC
MEASUREABLE
ATTAINABLE
RELEVANT
TIME BOUND

Specific: Requires concentration on ONE thing until you are clear on the What, Why
& How;
Measurable: Uses milestones and benchmarks, aka deliverables
Attainable: Consists of progressive tasks and steps you can do to accomplish them;
Relevant: Leverages your learning style, morals and character. What works for others
may not work for you.
Time Bound: Demands a deadline and not an open-ended time frame. You must
complete the goal before you can build upon it with a new goal.

Below are some reflection questions to get you started


1. Imagine that this is your last Ramadan, what would you like to achieve?

2. What is your legacy?

3. If Allah, Subhanahu wa taala, was to give you ANYTHING you ever wanted, what
would you ask for? (Add them to your Master Dua List)

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO


ACHIEVE THIS RAMADAN?
Dream List
1. Set a timer for 5 minutes and write down what your ideal Ramadan would look like.
What would that feel like? Dont censor yourself in any way just write everything
down. Keep in mind the following, And your Rabb says, Call upon me; I will respond
to you. [Surah Al-Ghafir 40:60]

2. Set the timer for another 5 minutes and jot down what you want to achieve in the
corresponding time slots.

3. Go back to each of the four sections and circle ONE item that you feel would have
the most positive impact on your dunya and akhira. Just ONE. InshaAllah. For this
Ramadan section choose ONE attainable goal that you can do in 29-30 days. It should
take you outside your comfort zone but not overextend your abilities.
4. Write the ONE goal you selected for each of the 4 sections below. Underneath write
WHY this goal is important and how it will impact you and those you care about. If
you cant answer this question cross out the goal and choose another. If you dont care
about it and its not important to you it wont get done.

5. Take the ONE goal for This Ramadan, and write it in the bubble below. This is the
goal you will be focusing on for the rest of the month. Set your timer once again for 5
minutes and begin to write down all the steps you must take in order to complete this
task. Connect each step with a line to the bubble.

6. Look over each of the tasks you delineated in step 5 and create a timetable by writing
the number 1 next to the step you must take first, a number 2 on the task that must be
completed next. Continue to do so until all the steps have a number.
7. Now add due dates next to each step to make them time-bound and add them to the
corresponding dates in your monthly calendar.

The Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) addressed


his companions on the last day of Shaban, saying,
Oh people! A great month has come over you; a blessed month;
a month in which is a night better than a thousand months; month
in which Allah has made it compulsory upon you to fast by day,
and voluntary to pray by night. Whoever draws nearer (to Allah)
by performing any of the (optional) good deeds in (this month)
shall receive the same reward as performing an obligatory deed at
any other time, and whoever discharges an obligatory deed in (this
month) shall receive the reward of performing seventy obligations
at any other time. It is the month of patience, and the reward of
patience is Heaven. It is the month of charity, and a month in
which a believers sustenance is increased. Whoever gives food to
a fasting person to break his fast, shall have his sins forgiven, and
he will be saved from the Fire of Hell, and he shall have the same
reward as the fasting person, without his reward being diminished
at all.

Abu Hurairah, (radiyAllahu anhu) reported that the Messenger of Allah, (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
On every persons joints or small bones (i.e. fingers and toes), there is sadaqah (charity) every day the sun rises.
Doing justice between two people is sadaqah; assisting a man to mount his animal, or lifting up his belongings
onto it is sadaqah; a good word is sadaqah; every step you take towards prayer is sadaqah; and removing
harmful things from pathways is sadaqah. [Bukhari & Muslim]

Abu Juhayfa Wahb ibn Abdullah (radiyAllahu anhu) said, The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi
wa sallam) joined Salman and Abud-Darda (radiyAllahu anhum) together in brotherhood.
Salman visited Abud-Darda and saw Umm ad-Darda (radiyAllahu anha) poorly dressed and
said to her, Whats the matter with you? She said, Your brother Abud-Darda has no need of
this world. Abud-Darda came and made some food for him. Salman said, Eat. He said, I am
fasting. Salman said, I will not eat unless you eat. He said, He ate. In the night, Abud-Darda
went to stand in prayer and Salman said to him, Sleep! and he slept. Then he got up again
and Salman said, Sleep! At the end of the night, Salman said, Now get up and we will pray.
Salman said to him, Your Lord has rights over you and your self has rights over you, so give
those with rights their due. Abud-Darda came to the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam)
and mentioned this to him and the Prophet said, Salman spoke the truth. [Bukhari]

most generous amongst the people, and he used to be more so in the month of Ramadan
when Gabriel visited him, and Gabriel used to meet him on every night of Ramadan till the
end of the month. The Prophet used to recite the Holy Quran to Gabriel, and when Gabriel
met him, he used to become more generous than the fast wind in doing good. [Bukhari]

Abu Juhayfa Wahb ibn Abdullah (radiyAllahu anhu) said, The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi
wa sallam) joined Salman and Abud-Darda (radiyAllahu anhum) together in brotherhood.
Salman visited Abud-Darda and saw Umm ad-Darda (radiyAllahu anha) poorly dressed and
said to her, Whats the matter with you? She said, Your brother Abud-Darda has no need of
this world. Abud-Darda came and made some food for him. Salman said, Eat. He said, I am
fasting. Salman said, I will not eat unless you eat. He said, He ate. In the night, Abud-Darda
went to stand in prayer and Salman said to him, Sleep! and he slept. Then he got up again
and Salman said, Sleep! At the end of the night, Salman said, Now get up and we will pray.
Salman said to him, Your Lord has rights over you and your self has rights over you, so give
those with rights their due. Abud-Darda came to the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam)
and mentioned this to him and the Prophet said, Salman spoke the truth. [Bukhari]

The Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) said, Ramadan has come to you.

increase (It is) a month of blessing, in which Allah covers you with blessing, for He sends down
in dua to Mercy, decreases sins and answers prayers. In it, Allah looks at your competition (in good
Allah deeds), and boasts about you to His angels. So show Allah goodness from yourselves,

for the unfortunate one is he who is deprived in (this month) of the mercy
of Allah, the Mighty, the Exalted. [Tabarani]

Al-Bara ibn Azib (radiyAllahu anhu) reported, When the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wa

make dua sallam) went to bed, he laid down on his right side. Then he said, O Allah, I have turned
before my face to You and I have surrendered my self to You and I have committed my back
sleeping to You out of fear and desire for You. There is no place of safety or refuge from You

except with You. I have believed in Your book which You revealed and Your Prophet whom You
sent. He said, Whoever says it at night and then dies, dies in fitra (natural state). [Bukhari]

Abu Hurayra (radiyAllahu anhu) reported that the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi

shed a
tear in wa sallam) said, There are seven whom Allah will shade with His shade on the day when
remem- there is no shade but His shade: a just leader, a youth who grows up worshipping Allah,
brance of the Mighty and Exalted, a man whose heart is attached to the mosque, two men who
Allah love each other for the sake of Allah, meeting and parting for that reason alone, a man

who refuses the advances of a noble and beautiful woman, saying, I fear Allah, a man who gives
sadaqa and conceals it so that his left hand does not know what his right hand gives, and a man who
remembers Allah when he is alone and his eyes overflow with tears. [Bukhari]

Narrated Abu Salama (radiyAllahu anhu): Once I went to Abu- Said Al-Khudri and asked
him, Wont you come with us to the date-palm trees to have a talk? So Abu Said went out and
I asked him, Tell me what you heard from the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) about
the Night of Qadr. Abu Said replied, Once Allahs Apostle performed Itikaf (seclusion) on the
first ten days of the month of Ramadan and we did the same with him. Gabriel came to him
and said, The night you are looking for is ahead of you. So the Prophet performed the Itikaf
in the middle (second) ten days of the month of Ramadan and we too performed Itikaf with
him. Gabriel came to him and said, The night which you are looking for is ahead of you. In
the morning of the 20th of Ramadan the Prophet delivered a sermon saying, Whoever has
performed Itikaf with me should continue it. I have been shown the Night of Qadr, but have
forgotten its date, but it is in the odd nights of the last ten nights. I saw in my dream that I
was prostrating in mud and water. In those days the roof of the mosque was made of branches
of date-palm trees. At that time the sky was clear and no cloud was visible, but suddenly a
cloud came and it rained. The Prophet led us in the prayer and I saw the traces of mud on the
forehead and on the nose of Allahs Apostle. So it was the confirmation of that dream. [Bukhari]

last 10 nights!

What can you do to gather as many rewards in the last 10 nights as possible? (brainstorm below)

REMEMBER ZAKAT AL FITR IS TO BE PAID BEFORE THE EID PRAYER

LAYLATUL QADR
BATTLE PLAN
prep

1. Start preparing for it at Fajr. After Fajr salat, ensure you recite the morning adhkar
(remembrance), especially: La ilaha illallah, wahdahu la sharika lah, lah ul mulku walah ul-hamd, yuhyi wa-yumit, wa-huwa ala kulli shayin qadir

There is no God but Allah; He is alone without any partners. To Him belongs
the dominion, He deserves all praise. He gives life and death, and He is capable
of everything.
Abdullah bin Amir and Abu Hurairah (radiyAllahu anhuma) reported that the Prophet
(salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) promised for a person who says this extollment one hundred
times in the morning: This will count for him as freeing ten slaves; and one hundred good
deeds will be recorded for him, one hundred sins will be removed from his record, and
this will provide for him a shelter from shaytan until the evening; and no one will come
(on Judgment Day) with a better deed except for a man who exceeded him (in saying it).
[Abu Hurairahs report was recorded by Bukhari & Muslim. Ibn Amirs report was recorded by an-Nasai,
Ahmad & others]

2. Treat a fasting person to iftar, either by inviting him to your house, or by buying the
food for him and sending it to him.
The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Whoever feeds the person who is
breaking his fast, he will have his reward (for his fasting) without decreasing anything
from the reward of the fasting person. [Tirmidhi & Ibn Maajah]

3. When the day breaks, make as much dua as possible that Allah helps you and makes
it easy for you to worship Him during the night.
4. Throughout the daytime, perform the obligatory duties such as praying on time, adding
sunnah and optional prayers. Repeat the phrases of the adhan after the muadhin and
make the necessary supplications.
5. Constantly make the chosen dua for this night: O Allah you are the Most Forgiving,
and You love to forgive, so forgive me
6. If you can, have a bath and perform wudu like the Prophet.
7. Wear your cleanest and best clothes for this night.
Ibn Abbaas (radiyAllahu anhuma) reports from the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi
wa sallam) that he said, Wear your white garments for they are among the best of your
clothes. [Abu Dawud]

8. Add duas and get your Master Dua List ready.


9. Set alarms.
For you guys who like math, lets do some calculations for some motivation.
If Laylatul-Qadr is worth more than 1000 months [see Quran 97:3], and the
night lasts about 8 hours (may be more or less depending on your locality),
then 1000 months divided by 8 hours means you get 125 months per hour,
which means you get more than 10 years per hour, which means for every 6
minutes of worship, you get more than 1 years worth! SubhanAllah, hows
that for a math lesson!

dua

Aisha (radiyAllahu anha) asked the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) What
should I say on Laylat-al-qadr? He replied,

Say, O Allah, You are Al-Afuww and You love to afw, so fafu me
O Allah, You are forgiving and You love forgiveness, so forgive me. [Tirmidhi]
master dua list

step 1:

Go somewhere really beautiful, where no one can disturb you


step 2: Imagine Allah says to you, Ask whatever you wish and I shall grant it to you.
Think of everything good you would ask for from this life and the next.
step 3: After thinking of everything you can, sit down and write it out.
step 4: Pick 5 things, your favorites, and consistently ask Allah for these 5 every night in
the last ten. Your dua will be guaranteed to have landed on Laylatul-Qadr! How cool is
that?

Even the dua of Iblis was accepted. Even the dua of Iblis was accepted. Why? Because Allah
(subhanahu wa taala) is the lord of all the creation and Iblis is of the creation. NEVER lose hope in
your duas. [Taken from How Do You Speak To Your Lord? - Sh. Yasir Qadhi]
Imam Sufyan Ibn Uyaynah (rahmatullahi alayhi) is reported to have said: Do not ever abandon dua.
Do not let that which you know about yourselves (your sins) prevent you from it, for Allah responded
to Iblis while he was the worst of creation. He said My Lord, then reprieve me until the Day they are
resurrected. [Allah] said, So indeed, you are of those reprieved. Surah Al-Hijr 15:36-37 [Bayhaqi]

REMINDERS

O Ramadan, be gentle, the tears of the believers pour forth, and their hearts are anxious from
the pain of separation. And why shouldnt the tears flow from the believer upon the parting
(of Ramadan) whilst he knows not whether he shall live to see its return... [Ibn Rajab]

Doing justice between two people is sadaqah; assisting a man to mount his animal, or lifting up his belongings
onto it is sadaqah; a good word is sadaqah; every step you take towards prayer is sadaqah; and removing
harmful things from pathways is sadaqah. [Al-Bukhari & Muslim]

TO-DO LIST

REMINDERS

Recite the following Takbir on the way to Salat and until the beginning of Salat al Eid:
Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar, laa ilaaha illa-Allah,
Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar, wa Lillaahil-hamd
(Allah is Most Great, Allah is Most Great, there is no god except Allah,
Allah is Most Great, Allah is Most Great, and all praise be to Allah).

Abu Masud Uqba ibn Amr al-Ansari al-Badri (radiyAllahu anhu)


reported that the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) said, Anyone who shows the way to something good has the same reward
as the person who does it.
[Muslim]

THE
VAULT

EAT SUHOOR

SUNNAH SIZE IT!

Amr ibn al-As (radiyAllahu anhu) reported


that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said, The
difference between our fasting and the
fasting of the people of the Book lies in the
eating of suhoor. [Muslim]
Anas (radiyAllahu anhu) reported that the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, Have suhoor.
There is blessing in suhoor. [Bukhari]

MORNING, EVENING & NIGHT ATKHAR


Shaddad Bin Aws (radiyAllahu anhu)
reported that the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi
wa sallam) taught the following chief
supplication for seeking forgiveness to his
companions, and he indicated that whoever
says it in the morning and then dies during
the day, he will enter Jannah:
O Allah, You are my Lord, and there is no
(true) god but You. You created me, and
I am Your servant, and I try to fulfill my
covenant and promise to You as much as
I am able. I seek Your protection from the
evil of my doings. I admit to Your favor
upon me, and I confess my sins to You, so
forgive me, because no one forgives sins
but You. [Bukhari, an-Nasai & Others]
Allah says: So be patient, [O Muhammad].
Indeed, the promise of Allah is truth. And
ask forgiveness for your sin and exalt [Allah]
with praise of your Lord in the evening and
the morning. [Surat Ghafir 40:55]

STAY UP AFTER FAJR

Sakhr al-Ghamidi and other companions


(radiyAllahu anhum) reported that the
Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
O Allah, bless the early part of the day for
my Ummah. [Abu Dawud, an-Nasai & others]

SMILE

Your smile for your brother is charity.


[Graded authentic by Ibn Hajar and al-Alban]

Jarir (radiyAllahu anhu) reported: Since


the time I became Muslim, the Messenger
of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) never
saw me without smiling at me. [Bukhari]

SPREAD SALAAM

Abdullah bin Umar (radiyAllahu anhu)


said: A man asked the Prophet (salAllahu
alayhi wa sallam) said what is the best act
of Islam? He said, To feed others and to
give greetings of salaam to those whom
you know and to those whom you do not
know. [Bukhari & Muslim]

BE KIND TO SELF & OTHERS

The most beloved of people according to


Allah is he who brings most benefit, and
the most beloved of deeds according to

Allah the Mighty, the Magnificent, is that


you bring happiness to a fellow Muslim, or
relieve him of distress, or pay off his debt
or stave away hunger from him. [Tabarani]

GIVE IN SADAQAH

In the morning charity is due from every


bone in the body of every one of you.
Every utterance of Allahs glorification
is an act of charity (SubhanAllah).
Every utterance of praise of Him is an
act of charity (Alhamdulillah), every
utterance of profession of His Oneness
is an act of charity (La ilaha illa Allah),
every utterance of profession of His
Greatness is an act of charity (Allahu
Akbar), enjoining good is an act of charity,
forbidding what is disreputable is an act of
charity, and two rakaat which one prays in
the forenoon will suffice. [Bukhari]

PRAY ON TIME

It is related that Abu Amr ash-Shaybani


(radiyAllahu anhu) said, The owner of
this house (and he indicated the house
of Abdullah) said, I asked the Prophet
what action was most loved by Allah and
he said, The prayer at its proper time.
Abdullah asked, Then what? He said,
Then devotion to parents. He said, Then
what? He said, Jihad in the way of Allah.
[Bukhari]

PEFORM QAILULAH

The Prophet Muhammad (salAllahu alayhi


wa sallam) said, Take a short nap, for
Devils do not take naps [Sahih Aljamie.
Alalbani 1647]

Anas and Sahl Bin Sad (radiyAllahu anhum)


reported: We used to pray Jumuah and
then take a nap (during the Prophets time
salAllahu alayhi wa sallam.) [Bukhari, Muslim
& Others]

Khawwat Bin Jubayr (radiyAllahu anhu)


said: Sleeping in the beginning of the Day
is ignorance, in its middle is a good quality,
and in its end is an imprudent act. [Bukhari
in al-Adab ul-Mufrad]

GO TO BED EARLY

Aisha (radiyallahu anha) reported: The


Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) used
to sleep in the early part of the night, wake
up (for worship) during its last part. [Bukhari,
Muslim & others]

MAKE DUA

Dua is considered the essence of worship.


Allah says: Verily, they used to hasten to
do good deeds, and they used to make
dua to Us with hope and fear, and used
to humble themselves before Us. [Surah AlAnbiya 21:90]

USE MISWAK

Abu Hurairah (radiyAllahu anhu) reported


that the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wa
sallam) said: Were it not for the fact that
I did not want to make things too hard for
my ummah, I would have commanded them
to use the siwaak at every time of prayer.
[Bukhari & Muslim]

Ali (radiyAllahu anhu) reported that the


Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
When a worshiper (of Allah) uses the
siwak (to clean his teeth) and then stands
in prayer, an angel comes and stands
behind him, listening to the (recitation of)
Quran. The angel continues to listen and
draw nearer until he places his mouth over
the worshipers, so that he does not recite
one ayah but that it enters into the angels
mouth. Therefore, purify your mouth for
the (recitation of) Quran.[al-Bayhaqi, adDiya & others]

ATTEND A HALAQA (online/offline)

Whenever some people gather in one of


Allahs houses (mosques) to recite the book
of Allah and study it among themselves
then calmness (tranquillity) descends upon
them, the angels surround them, mercy
covers them, and Allah mentions them to
those who are with him [Muslim]

DO ISTIGHFAR & TAWBAH

Allah says: And those who, when they


happen to commit a shameful act or wrong
themselves, remember Allah, then, seek
forgiveness for their sins-and who is there
to forgive sins except Allah?-and do not
persist in what they have done, knowingly
[Surah Ali Imran 3:135]

READ QURAN & TAFSIR

Ibn Masud (radiyAllahu anhu) reported


that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, Whoever
recites a letter of the Book of Allah earns a
good deed, and each good deed is worth
ten like it. I do not say that Alif-lam-mim
is one letter, but that alif is a letter, lam is a
letter, mim is a letter. [Tirmidhi]
It will be said to those who know the
Quran, Recite and ascend. Recite slowly
as you did in the world below. Your station
will be at the last verse you recite. [Abu
Dawud & Tirmidhi]

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE LAST


THIRD OF THE NIGHT

Amr Bin Abasah (radiyallahu anhu)


reported that the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi
wa sallam) said: The closest a (believing)
servant is to his Lord is in the last part of the
night. If you can be among those who extol
Allah during that hour, do so. [Tirmidhi, anNasai]

BUILD A HOUSE IN JANNAH

Aisha (radiyallahu anha) narrates that the

Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) said:


He who is regular in offering twelve sunnah
rakaat (of salat), Allah subhanahu wa taala
will build for him a house in paradise; FOUR
rakaat before dhuhr, TWO rakaat after
dhuhr, TWO rakaat after maghrib, TWO
rakaat after Isha and TWO rakaat before
Fajr. [an-Nasai]

INTEND GOOD & FOLLOW THROUGH


He who has intended a good deed and
has not done it, Allah writes it down with
Himself as a full good deed, but if he has
intended it and has done it, Allah writes it
down with Himself as from ten good deeds
to seven hundred times, or many times
over. But if he has intended a bad deed and
has not done it, Allah writes it down with
Himself as a full good deed, but if he has
intended it and has done it, Allah writes it
down as one bad deed. [Bukhari & Muslim]

LOVE FOR THE SAKE OF ALLAH

Abu Hurairah (radiyAllahu anhu) reported


that the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu
alayhi wa sallam) said, Allah Almighty will
say on the Day of Rising, Where are those
who loved one another for the sake of My
majesty? Today, on the day when there is
no shade but My shade, I will shade them.
[Muslim]

FORGIVE

Abu Hurairah (radiyAllahu anhu) reported


that the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu
alayhi wa sallam) said, Actions are
presented every Monday and Thursday, and
Allah then forgives every man who does
not associate anything with Him except
for a man who has rancor for his brother.
He says, Wait until these two reconcile!
[Muslim]

RENEW BONDS OF KINSHIP &


FRIENDSHIP

Ibn Umar (radiyAllahu anhu) said, If


someone fears his Lord and maintains
ties of kinship, his term of life will be
prolonged, he will have abundant wealth
and his people will love him. [Bukhari]
Abud-Darda (radiyAllahu anhu) said,
Shall I tell you about something better for
you than sadaqa and fasting? Improving
the state of relations between one another.
Hatred is what shaves things away. [Bukhari]

BE KIND TO PARENTS

Ibn Abbas (radiyAllahu anhu) said, If any


Muslim obeys Allah regarding his parents,
Allah will open two gates of the Garden for
him. If there is only one parent, then one
gate will be opened. If one of them is angry,
then Allah will not be pleased with him until
that parent is pleased with him. He was
asked, Even if they wrong him? Even if
they wrong him he replied. [Bukhari]
Ali ibn Abi Talib (radiyAllahu anhu)

narrates that the Messenger of Allah


(salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) said: There
is no obedience in disobedience to Allah,
obedience is only in maruf (what is
goodness). [Muslim]

SHED A TEAR IN REMEMBERS OF ALLAH


Abu Hurairah (radiyAllahu anhu) reported
that the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu
alayhi wa sallam) said, There are seven
whom Allah will shade with His shade on
the day when there is no shade but His
shade: a just leader, a youth who grows up
worshipping Allah, the Mighty and Exalted,
a man whose heart is attached to the
mosque, two men who love each other for
the sake of Allah, meeting and parting for
that reason alone, a man who refuses the
advances of a noble and beautiful woman,
saying, I fear Allah, a man who gives
sadaqa and conceals it so that his left hand
does not know what his right hand gives,

and a man who remembers Allah when he


is alone and his eyes overflow with tears.
[Bukhari]

PRAY FAJR & ISHA IN CONGREGATION


Uthman bin Affan (radiyAllahu anhu)
reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah
(salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) saying: One
who performs `Isha prayer in congregation,
is as if he has performed Salat for half of the
night. And one who performs the Fajr prayer
in congregation, is as if he has performed
Salat the whole night. [Muslim]

GIVE FROM WHAT YOU LOVE

By no means shall you attain Al-Birr (piety,


righteousness, etc., it means here Allahs
Reward, i.e. Paradise), unless you spend (in
Allahs Cause) of that which you love; and
whatever of good you spend, Allah knows
it well. [Surat Ali `Imran verse 92]

FRIDAY

The Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Friday is the best of days. It was
on this day that Adam (peace be upon him) was created, it was on this day that he was
granted entry into Paradise, it was on this day that he was removed from Paradise (which
became the cause for mans existence in this universe, and which is a great blessing), and
the day of resurrection will also take place on this day. [Sahih Muslim]
TAKE A SHOWER
Rasulallah said: O Muslims! Allah Taala has made this day a day of Eid. So have a bath on this
day, whoever has perfume should apply it, and use the Miswaak. [Ibn Majah]

MAKE DUA
Abu Hurairah (radiyAllahu anhu) narrated that the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) said;
On Friday, there is an hour during which, if any Muslim is standing in front of Allah in salat, and
asking Allah for something good, he will be granted his request, Then he made a sign with his
hands, showing that it was a very short period of time. [Bukhari]
Friday has twelve hours (or parts to it). There is one hour during which if a Muslim asks Allah
anything, Allah will give it to him, so find it during the last hour after Asr. [Reported by Abu Dawud
#926 of Sahih Al-Sunan]

READ SURAH KAHF

The evidence for it being recommended includes the hadith related by Hakim and Bayhaqi, from
Abu Said (radiyAllahu anhu), Whoever recites Surat al-Kahf on Friday, light shall shine forth for
him between the two Fridays. [Ibn Hajar, Talkhis al-Habir]

SEND BLESSINGS TO THE PROPHET

The Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Of all the days, Friday is the most
virtuous. It is on this day that the trumpet will be blown. Send abundant blessings upon me on
Fridays because they are presented to me on that day. The Companions (Allah be pleased with
them) asked: O the Messenger of Allah! How will they be presented to you when even your
bones will not be present after your death? The Messenger of Allah replied: Allah Most High
has made the earth forbidden upon the prophets forever. [Abu Dawud]

HASANAH CHASERS

Abdullah Bin Amr (radiyAllahu anhu) reported that the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wa
sallam) said: There are two acts that no Muslim worshiper does consistently but that he
will enter Jannah. And though they are easy, only few people perform them:
After each of the (five) prayers, say tasbih ten times, tahmid ten times, and takbir ten
times. This makes one hundred fifty (daily extolments) by tongue, and one thousand five
hundred (good deeds in the scale).
Upon going to bed, say takbir thirty-four times, tahmid thirty-three times, and tasbih thirtythree times. This makes one hundred (extolments) by tongue, and one thousand (good
deeds) in the scale.

SO WHO AMONG YOU WOULD COMMIT


TWO THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED SINS IN
ONE DAY (TO COUNTER THAT)?
The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) then added: Satan comes to a person while he
is ready to sleep, and makes him fall asleep before he finishes saying them; and he comes
to him after prayer, and reminds him of something he needs to do instead of saying them.
[Recorded by Abu Dawud, at-Tirmithi & others. Verified to be authentic by al-Albani]

FOUR ATKHAR THAT


OUTWEIGH MANY
OTHERS

Juwayriyah (radiyAllahu anha) reported that the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam)
once left her house after the morning prayer, while she was sitting in her prayer place
extolling Allah. He returned in the mid-morning and found her still doing the same. He
asked her, Are you still in the same sitting since I left you?
She replied, Yes. He said: Indeed, I said after I left you four statements, three times. If
you weigh them against what you have said since the morning, they would outweigh it:

SUBHANA-ALLAHI ADADA KHALQIH,


SUBHANA-ALLAHI RIDA NAFSIH,
SUBHAN-ALLAHI ZINATA ARSHI,
SUBHANA-ALLAHI MIDADA KALIMATIH
Exalted be Allah as much as is the sum of His creation; exalted be Allah to the extent that
would please Him; exalted be Allah as much as is the weight of His Throne; exalted be
Allah as much as is the extent of His words.

[Muslim, Abu Dawud & others]

QIYAM
The night extends from sunset to dawn and can be divided in to three parts. So take when
Maghrib starts and Fajr begins, count the hours between those two and divide by 3.
Abu Hurairah (radiyAllahu anhu) reported that the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wa
sallam) said: Our Lord (subhanahu wa taala) descends every night to the lowest
heaven when only one third of the night has remained. He says, Who is there
invoking Me, so that I may answer him? Who is there asking Me, so that I may
give him? Who is there seeking My forgiveness, so that I may forgive him? [Bukhari
& Muslim]

Jabir (radiyAllahu anhu) reported that he heard the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wa
sallam) say: There is an hour of the night during which no Muslim person would
happen to be asking Allah for a favor from this life or the hereafter, but that Allah
grants it to him. And this is true every night.
[Muslim and Ahmad]
Aisha (radiyAllahu anha) reported: Allahs Messenger (salAllahu alayhi wa
sallam)use to sleep in the early part of the night, and wake up (for worship)
during its last part. [Bukhari, Muslim & others]

DETERMINING THE LAST THIRD


OF THE NIGHT

The night extends from sunset to dawn, and can be divided into three
parts. If, for instance, sunset is at 6:00 pm and dawn at 4:30 am, the night
is then 10 1/2 hours long, and each one third is 3 1/2 hours long. The last
third would then extend from 1:00 am to 4:30 am.

GUIDELINES

1. Constancy.
The most beloved deeds to Allah are the most constant, even if they are little.
[Bukhari & Muslim]

2. Moderation.
Take upon yourselves only deeds that you can (consistently) maintain, for, by
Allah, Allah is never tired (i.e., never stops accepting your good deeds) until you
are (by interrupting your heavy worship. [Bukhari & Muslim]
3. Attentiveness.
When one of you becomes sleepy while praying, let him lie down until sleep
departs from him. Indeed, when one of you prays while he is sleepy, instead of
seeking forgiveness, he might curse himself. [Bukhari & Muslim]

TAHAJJUD

Sahl Bin Sad, Jabir Bin Abdillah, and Ali Bin Abi Talib (radiyAllahu anhuma) all reported
that the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
Jibril came to me and said, O Muhammad, live as long as you wish you will
then surely die; love whomever you wish you will surely depart from him; and
do as you wish you will surely be judged according to it. And know that a
believers honor lies in his Qiyam at night, and his dignity is in being (financially)
independent from other people. [at-Tabarani, al-Bayhaqi & others]
Uqba Ibne-Amir (radiyAllahu anhu) narrates: I heard Rasulullah (salAllahu alayhi wa
sallam) saying: One, out of two persons of my Ummah, gets up at night and motivates

himself for Wudu despite not feeling to do so; since, Shaytan had tied knots on him. When
he washes his two hands in Wudu, one knot is loosened; and when he washes his face
another knot is loosened; and when he wipes his head wtih wet hands, another knot is
loosened; and when he washes his feet, yet another knot is loosened. Allah (subhanahu wa
taala) says to those behind the veil His angels; Look at My slave! How much hardship
he is enduring in dealing with his Nafs (innerself), so now whatever this slave asks of Me,
it will be granted to him. [Musnad Ahmad]
Ibne-Abbas (radiyAllahu anhuma) narrates that when the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wa
sallam) used to wake up for Tahajjud salat during the night, he would make this dua:
O Allah! All praise be to You; You are the Sustainer of the Heavens and the
Earth, and whosoever is in them, to You be praise. You are the light of the
Heavens and the Earth, and whosoever is in them, to You be praise. You are the
King of the Heavens and the Earth, to You be praise. You are the Truth, Your
promise is True, the meeting with You is a certainty, Your Word is True, Paradise
is True, Hell is True, the Prophets are True, Muhammad (salAllahu alayhi wa
sallam) is True; teh Hour (Day of Resurrection) is True. O Allah! To You I have
surrendered, upon You I believe, upon You I trust, to YOu I turn to in repentace,
by Your help I have disputed (with the one who does not believe), and to You I
have come for Judgment. So forgive me my past sins, and those I may do later,
my secret and my open sins. You are the One Who enables someone to move
forward in good deeds and You are the One Who defers. And none is worthy
of worship but You. There is no might to resist evil, and no power to do good,
except through Allah. [Bukhari]
Ibne-Abbas (radiyAllahu anhuma) narrates: I heard Rasulullah (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam)
reciting this supplication one night, after he had completed his Tahajjud salat:
1. O Allah! I ak You of Your Mercy by which You give guidance to my heart, by
which You make my work easy, and remove my distressed condition by it, and
manage my issues in my absence by it. And give exaltation and honour by Your
Mercy; and clean my actions (from hypocrisy and infidelity) by Your Mercy; and
put that thing in my heart, which is correct and suitable for me; and whatever I
like, grant me by Your Mercy; and protect me from all evil by Your Mercy.
2. Oh Allah! Give me that belief and faith after which there may not be any
infidelity and a Mercy enabling me to achieve the blessings of Your gifts in this
world and the hereafter.
3. Oh Allah! I ask of You to give me conviction that Your Decree is the very
fulfillment of my aims, and an entertainment which is offered to martyrs, and a
life of the fortunate, and Your help over enemies.
4. Oh Allah! I place before You my needs, though my understanding is limited, and
my actions are weak, hence I am badly in need of Your Mercy. O the Maker of
Affairs and Healer of the hearts! As You by Your power keep the oceans (running
together) separate from each other (that the saltish remains separate from the
sweet and the sweet remains separate from the saltish); so I request You to keep
me away from the punishment of the Hell-Fire, and the lamentations of the one
about to perish, and from the punishment of the grave.
5. O Allah! I ask You of that goodness which is beyond my understanding and
intention, and which I did not even ask. However, You promised this to anyone
of Your creation, or any goodness which You want to give to any of Your slaves. I
desire this and ask You of it by Your Mercy, O Sustainer of the universe!
6. O You of firm promises and master of good deeds! I ask for Your peace on the Day

of Judgment, and Paradise on the Day of Eternity, to be among Yours Favorites and
regular attendants of Your Court; frequently bowing and prostrating and fulfilling
their promises. You are most Kind and Most Loving, and no doubt You do what
You will.
O Allah! Make me one who is guided aright, and guides others aright. Do not
misguide me, and do not make me misguide others. I may be in peace with Your
friends and enemy of Your enemies. Those who love You, I should love them for
that love of Yours, and those who are against You, I should have enmity with them
due to their enmity with You.
O Allah! It is for us to supplicate, and for You to accept. This is my effort and
reliance is on You.
O Allah! Put Nur (light) in my heart, and make my grave illuminated; and grant me
Nur in front of me, Nur at my back, Nur on my right, Nur on my left, Nur above
me, Nur below me, (Your Nur be around me), and Nur in my ears, Nur in my eyes,
Nur in every hair of mine, Nur in my skin, Nur in my flesh, Nur in my blood, and

make Nur for me.
Unblemish is He whose covering is dignity itself and Whose World is Dignified.
Unblemished is He Whose dress is Nobility and Honour. Unblemished is He; and
none can be appropriately called unblemished besides Him. Unblemished is He
Who is of great Excellence and full of Bounties. Unblemished is He Who is of great
Dignity and Generosity. Unblemished is He Who is the Possessor of great Power
and Respect. [Tirmidhi]

THE PRAYER
OF NEED
SALAT AL-HAJAH
Abdullah ibne-Abu Awfa Al Aslami (radiyAllahu anhuma) narrates that Rasulullah
(salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) came to us and said: Whoever is confronted with a need,
relating either to Allah or to any of his creation, he should perform Wudu and offer to
rakat salat, and then supplicate:
There is none worthy of worship but Allah the Clement, the Bountiful; Glorified
be Allah, the Lord of the tremendous Throne; Praise be to Allah, the Sustainer
of the worlds. O Allah! I ask from You everything that leads to Your Mercy and
ensures Your Forgiveness; I ask You for abundance in all that is virtuous; I ask
You to leave no sin of mine but that You have removed it; an no want except
that which met Your pleasure and You have fulfilled it for me.
After this supplicate to Allah for whatever you want pertaining to this world or the hereafter,
undoubtedly it will be answered. [Ibne-Majah]

DISCLAIMER: I was informed that some people dont consider the prayer of need (salat Al-Hajah) and the prayer
of repentance (salat Al-Tawbah) as part of the sunnah. I contacted a few scholars for their opinion and they told
me to keep it so I have. If these prayers make you uncomfortable than dont perform them and contact a person of
knowledge to answer your question and give you clarity on the matter. May Allah grant us hidayah. Ameen.

PRAYER OF
REPENTANCE
SALAT AL-TAWBA
Turn towards Allah, O believers, every one of you, so that you may be successful.
(24:31)

Abu Bakr (radiyAllahu anhu) narrates: I heard the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi
wa sallam) saying: Whenever a slave (of Allah) commits a sin, then he performs Wudu
properly and offers two rakat salat and seeks forgiveness from Allah, Allah forgives him.
Then the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) recited these verses:
And those who, when they do an evil thing or wrong themselves, remember
Allah and implore forgiveness for their sins - Who forgives sins save Allah
only? - and will not knowingly repeat (the wrong) they did. [Surah Ali Imran
3:135] reported by [Abu Dawud]

Hasan (Rahimahullah) narrates that Rasulullah (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) said: There is
not a slave (of Allah) who commits a sin, then performs Wudu and does it properly, then
goes to an open plain and offers two rakat salat and seeks forgiveness for that sin indeed
Allah forgives him. [Baihaqi]
O Allah, Your forgiveness is far more extensive than my sins and Your
forgiveness is far more promising unto me than my (good) actions. So please
forgive me. Ameen.

step 1:

MASTER DUA LIST

Go somewhere really beautiful, where no one can disturb you


step 2: Imagine Allah says to you, Ask whatever you wish and I shall grant it to you. Think of
everything good you would ask for from this life and the next.
step 3: After thinking of everything you can, sit down and write it out.
step 4: Pick 5 things, your favorites, and consistently ask Allah for these 5 every night in the last ten.
Your dua will be guaranteed to have landed on Laylatul-Qadr! How cool is that?

Source: Taken from an email sent by [Sh. Muhammad Alshareef]

And when My servants ask you, [O Muhammad], concerning Me - indeed I am near. I respond to the
invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me [by obedience] and
believe in Me that they may be [rightly] guided.
Surah Al-Baqarah 2 : 186

QURAN READING ROADMAP


Abdullah ibn Masud (radiyAllahu anhu) reported that the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wa
sallam) said, when someone recites one letter from the Holy Quran he will get one good
deed in recompense and this one recompense will be equal to ten good deeds. I do not
say Alif Laam Meem is a letter, but Alif is a letter, Laam is a letter and Meem is a letter
