Bismillahir Rahmaanir Rahim

Aayat e Sajdah
All Praises for Allah Rabbul Izzat, the Master of the Universe and Infinite Peace and Blessings upon His Beloved, the Last
Prophet, Hazrat Muhammad Mustapha (Sallal Laahu Ta'ala Alayhi wa Sallam) and His Noble Descendants and
Companions (Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhum).
From the bottom of our heart, we thank Allah Ta'ala thousands of times for helping us to present the Aayat e Sajdah
Wazifah Book. May Allah Rabbul Izzat accepts our effort!
O My Brothers and Sisters! As all Muslims know the act that when we read the Qur'an Shareef and when we come
across an Aayat e Sajdah it's waajib for us to perform a Sajdah. This is also called Sajdah e Tilaawat.
As reported by Hazrat Abu Hurairah (Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhu), Sayyidinah Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Ta'ala Alayhi wa
Sallam) said that when the children of Hazrat Adam (Alayhis Salaam) read the Verses of Sajdah and they prostrate,
shaytaan moves away from that place and while crying he says: "Alas! Misfortune upon me. The children of Adam
(Alayhis Salaam) have been ordered to prostrate and they obey: for them is Paradise. I was ordered to prostrate but I
disobeyed: for me is Hell." (Hadith Muslim Shareef and Ibn Majah)
Nabi e Kareem (Sallal Laahu Ta'ala Alayhi wa Sallam) had the habit of performing Sajdah when He reached Ayat e
Sajdah. There are 14 places in the Qur'an Shareef where we have Sajdah e Tilaawat. The Virtues of Sajdah (Prostration)
are so numerous that we cannot mention all in a small booklet. From Sayyidinah Adam (Alayhis Salaam) to Sayyidinah
Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Ta'ala Alayhi wa Sallam) the common form of Namaz was Sajdah; the other forms of Ibaadat
like Qayaam, Ruku and Qaidah may had differences but regarding Sajdah, all other Prophets and Angels (Alayhimus
Salaam) and Saaliheen (Pious) used to perform Sajdah for Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala.
Huzoor e Akram (Sallal Laahu Ta'ala Alayhi wa Sallam) has said that when a slave (human) performs Sajdah, he is very
close to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala and Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala is very happy when his servant prostrates his
forehead and his nose touching the ground as a sign of submission and humility before the Greatness of His Master
(Subhaanahu wa Ta'ala) - as if human recognize that he is nothing before the Glory and Greatness of Allah Subhanahu
wa Ta'ala.
The Recompense of Sajdah as described by Allama Iqbal (Rahmatullahi Ta'ala Alay): With one Sajdah (that man feels
hard to perform for Allah Ta'ala) he is relieved from all sorts of humiliation and all that he will have to suffer if he has to
bow before his alikes.
O My Brothers and Sisters! Whether it is Sajdah in Namaz, Sajdah Tilaawat or Sajdah for thanksgiving to Allah Subhanahu
wa Ta'ala, each has its own value, its greatness, its virtue and its specific recompense. Today, as all sorts of problems
crush man either in his material life or his religious life, we wish to give you a Wazifah which is a great means by the
Grace of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala to liberate you from difficult situations, to give you Peace and Security.
Hazrat Muhammad Ameen Ibn Abideen (Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhu), a Descendant of Imam Zain ul Abideen (Radi Allahu
Ta'ala Anhu), wrote a book on Fiqhe Hanafi, an authorized work and well known as 'Raddul Mukhtar" - published by Al
Maktaba Attijaariyah Makka in Saudi Arabia (in Vol. 2, page 119) where he said: "If a Muslim reads only the Ayaat e
Sajdah once and after every Aayat he performes Sajdah immediately, Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala will make him
successful in his aim. Whether it is sufferance, personal or familial problems, with whichever intention one performs
Sajdah in Tilaawat Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala will certainly help and liberate him in a manner that one cannot
imagine." Once again, we remind you that concerning Spiritual security or Material progress, the Help of Allah
Subhanahu wa Ta'ala is sufficient when you proceed by the explained method.

In Tafsir Ruhul Bayan it is mentioned that when a person reads Aayat e Sajdah and performs Sajdah then asks Duas,
Allah Almighty by His Power will raise the honor of that person in this world and as per his intention Allah Almighty will
help him in a way he can't imagine.
If one is facing hardship he must read this Wazifa for 14 days continuously, Inshah Allah he will see how Allah Almighty
helps him. Apart from this one can read this Wazifa every day, every week or every month. Even when performing Haj,
Itikaaf and on Auspicious Blessed Nights. There are numerous virtues in this Wazifa for your material and spiritual
security; you will taste them Inshah Allah! And you will see the effects.
Normally when doing Tilaawat e Qur'an we say Allahu Akbar and stand up with the intention of making Sajdah e
Tilawat (without raising the hand up to the ears) upon reaching an Aayat e Sajdah. We then go down in prostration
and read 3 times Subhaana Rabbiyal Alaa. After that we say Allahu Akbar and stand up, then sit back again to resume
Tilaawat e Qur'an Shareef.
For Wazifah Aayat e Sajdah it is performed in the sitting position and the condition is the same as in Namaaz, i.e with
Wuzu and face towards Qiblah (Kaabah Shareef).
First: Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem, Second: Aayat e Sajdah, Third: Its appropriate dua, Fourth: Perform Sajdah and
read 3 times Subhaana Rabbiyal Alaa, Fifth: Rise from Sajdah and read another dua..........the same procedure must be
repeated till 14 Sujoods (plural of sajdah) are performed.
O My Brothers and Sisters! Together with Aayat e Sajdah we are also providing the transliteration and translation so that
you may understand the reason why we must perform Sajdah. For those who can't read Arabic they can read the
transliteration and benefit freely. By the same we are making an appeal to you to remember the AL AQSA SUNNI
CENTRE so that Allah Rabbul Izzat Jalla Wa'ala gives us the occasion and means to continue serving Islam according to
the teachings of and practices of Hazrat Muhammad Mustapha (Sallal Laahu Ta'ala Alayhi wa Sallam). Aameen!

Your Servant in Islam,
