Allah is Greater. O Allah may the crescent come upon us in safety and faith and peace and Islam and in agreement with all that You love and pleases You. Our Lord and your Lord [O Crescent] is Allah.

The Beloved Prophet (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) has said:

“Anyone, man or woman from my umma  (community) who want to benefit  from the light of my grave then he (or she) should perform worship with great intensity on each Laylat ul-Qadr (last 10 odd  nights) , so that Allah The Most Exalted may wipe the person’s sins away and replace them with good deeds.”

The  worship  on Laylat ul-Qadr  is  better and  more  powerful than worship of 70 (seventy) thousand nights.

The 3rd of Laylat ul-Qadri (27th Night):

The prayer can be done in one of sixways:

1. Perform 12 cycles of prayer with 3 salam. In each cycle, after reading Surah Al-Fatiha,  read Surah Qadr 1 time  and Surah Ikhlas 15 times. After the salam, read Asthaghfar 70 times. Insha-Allah, by reading this prayer, a person will be rewarded with the prayers of the Prophets (peace be upon them all).
2. Read 2 cycles  of  prayer.  After  reading Surah Al-Fatiha, read Surah Qadr 3 times and Surah Ikhlas 27 times. Then ask Allah Almighty for the forgiveness of sins. Insha Allah with the help of this prayer, Allah Almighty will forgive all sins, past, present, and future.
3. Read 4 cycles of prayer with 2 salam. In each cycle, after reading Surah  Al-Fatiha,   read Surah  Takathur  (Al-Quran, chapter 102) 1 time and Surah Ikhlas 3 times. Insha Allah, the person who reads this prayer, Allah Almighty will make the difficulties of death easy on this person. In addition, the torments of the grave will be forgiven.
4. Read 2 cycles of prayer. In each cycle, after reading Surah Al-Fatiha, read Surah Ikhlas 7 times. After  the salam, it is important  to read the following tasbih 70 times: Astaghfirullaahal-adheemuladhee laa  ilaaha illaa  huwal hayyul qayyumu wa atoobu ilayh. Insha Allah, by reading this prayer, before a person has even risen from his/her prayer mat (musallah), his own sins as well as the sins of his parents will be forgiven.  In addition, Allah  Almighty will order the angels to provide a path to heaven for this person. In fact, Allah has ordered that until the person does not have a vision of his path to Heaven, death will not take him/her. This prayer is very effective for forgiveness (maghfirat) of sins after death.
5. Read 2 cycles  of  prayer.  After  reading Surah Al-Fatiha, read Surah Alam Nashrah (Al-Quran, chapter 94) 1 time  and Surah  Ikhlas  3 times.  After the  salam,  read Surah  Qadr  70 times.  Insha Allah, the person will earn many good deeds (sawab)  and it is  considered  to be equal  to numerous worships (ibadat).
6. Read 4 cycles of prayer. In each cycle, after reading Surah Al-Fatiha, read Surah Qadr 3 times and Surah Ikhlas 50 times. After the salam, during prostration (sajda) read the following Kalam  1 time:  Subhaan Allahee  wal hamdu lillahee  wal laa ilaaha ill Allahu wa Allaahu akbar.  After  this,  whatever  desire or plea one may have should be made, whether it is for this world or the next. Insha Allah, in God’s Court, it will be answered.

Also  on this  night, read Surah Ha meem  (Al-Quran, chapter 41). By reading all 7 Ha meem’s, it saves one from the torment of the grave after death, and also  the life  after death. Also read Surah Mulk (Al-Quran, chapter 67) 7 times. This is very effective for the forgiveness of sins after death.

Starting on page 37 of this booklet you will find the special prayers that you should read on the odd night which possibly could be Laylat ul-Qadr.  Remember me and all the IECRC staff who made this booklet possible on these special nights:

Risk factors are strokes, heart attacks, heart failure, arterial aneurysms, and chronic kidney failure. Even moderate elevation of arterial pressure leads to shortened life expectancy. Accoring to medical science, at severely high pressures, meaning arterial pressures 50% or more above average, a person can expect to live no more than a few years unless appropriately treated.

We recommend that you comply with the medications and the appropriate diet that your physician has prescribed. Additionally, to control blood pressure using Islamic spiritual ruqya, apply the following regimen when your blood increases or cannot come under control:

1. 11 times Durood Shareef
2. Read 111 times
     Qulna ya naru koonee bardan wasalaman AAala ibraheema

3. Blow on water and your heart (drink the water and sprinkle some over your body and face)
4. 11 times Durood Shareef

 “Whenever the twenty-seventh of Rajab came around, Abdullah ibn Abbas radi Allahu anhuma would start the day as a mu’takif [i.e. someone who follows the practice called i'tikaf, meaning withdrawal into a state of seclusion in order to concentrate on religious devotions, especially while fasting]. He would devote the whole morning to prayer, upto and including the obligatory ritual prayer at noon [Dhuhr]. After performing the noon prayer, he would stroll about for a little while to stretch his legs, then he would perform an extra salat-prayer consisting of four cycles. In each cycle [rak'a], he would recite Surah Al-Fatiha one time only, then Surah Al-Falaq & Surah An-Naas [Al-Mu'awwidhataan], also one time only, then Surah Al-Qadr [#97] three times, and then Surah Al-Ikhlaas fifty times. He would then devote himself to continuous supplication [du'a], until it was time to perform the obligatory late-afternoon ritual prayer (‘Asr). ‘This,’ he used to say, ‘is exactly what Allah’s Messenger sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam always did on this particular day.’”

May Allah Ta’ala accept our ibaadaat bi Waseelatil Habeeb sal Allahu alayhi wa Aalihi wa sallam. Aameen.

Related in the Ghunya of Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani (rehmatullahi alyhe):

The Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings upon him) said that whoever fasts on the first Thursday of Rajab and then prays the following prayer between Maghrib and Isha, i.e on the eve of Friday:

• 12 cycles in sets of two reciting Surah Al-Qadr (i.e. Inna anzalnahu fi laylatil Qadr) three times and Surah Al-Ikhlas (i.e. Qul huwa Allahu ahad) 12 times, and recites Darood Shareef (Allahumma salli ‘ala Muhammadinin-Nabiyyi l-Ummiyyi wa ‘ala aalihi wa sallim) 70 times at the end of the 12 cycles and then recites some special prayers (found in the Ghunya),

Allah Almighty forgives all his or her sins even if they are like the foam on the ocean, the grains of desert sand, the weight of the mountains, the drops of rain, or the leaves of trees. In addition, intercession is accepted from 700 members of this person’s family on the Day of Judgment. This prayer will come in the form of a person to the deceased when he or she is in the grave and congratulate them saying that they have been granted freedom from every hardship [in the Hereafter]. The deceased person will ask who this person is mentioning that he or she has not seen a person more handsome, nor heard a voice more sweet nor smelt a person more fragranced. Upon this the person will respond that he is this [Rajab] prayer that the person had done and had come to take care of his or her needs and be his or her companion in their loneliness and time of anxiety [in the Barzakh]. Furthermore when the trumpet is blown, this prayer will be a shade on the deceased in the Plain of Hashr and good news to the performer of this prayer that Allah Almighty does not overlook any good deed.
