Salaatul Hajaat : A Powerful Prayer for every need

Salaatul Hajaat is a prayer offered for the accomplishment of a particular purpose or need. It consists of
a fresh ablution done carefully, followed by a calm prayer of two units of salaat, then a sincere
supplication that states what one wishes to be accomplished and requesting Allah Ta’ala’s for his help
and assistance in its accomplishment.

Almighty Allah says in the holy Quran : “And seek help with patience and salah, verily this is difficult but
for the submissive servants.”[Surah Baqrah Verse 45]

Human beings are always in need of Allah’s mercy and bounties, regardless of a person being in
adversity or not, and therefore he has commanded us to seek his help, in a manner which pleases him
and is taught to us by our Prophet SAW

A hadith states that Huzaifa (R.A.) said, ‘Whenever a matter became serious, the Prophet SAW turned to
Salaah. (Recorded by Ahmad, Abu Dawood, Hafiz ibn Hajar has quoted it in his book Fathul Baari and has
said, ‘It is with a good sanad’), furthermore, Imam Ahmad RA has on sound authority reported from Abu
Darda RA that the Prophet SAW said: “He who makes wudu, and does it properly, then prays two rak’at,
Allah will grant him whatever he may pray for, sooner or later.”

The tradition shows that the Prophet SAW himself would turn to Salaah whenever he was affected or
confronted with anything. As such, a need is one which is a matter of seriousness and turning to Salaah
and supplication is indeed one of the best ways to fulfil it. In fact the believers are ordered in the Holy
Quran to ‘Seek help in patience and Salaah’. Hence, turning to Salaah for assistance in fulfilling one’s
need is from the guidance which Allah has given to the believers in the Holy Quran.

Many traditionists and jurists have generally accepted the act of Salaatul Hajaat as one that is
commendable and encouraged act of seeking assistance from Allah. It is with respect to this general
acceptance, we see that many of the great and reliable jurists and scholars of the former and latter
times have dedicated a chapter in their respective books called ‘Salaah Al Hajaat’.

Fatwa’s regarding Salatul Hajaat from Hanafi Sources: Salaatul Hajaat is essentially to raise one’s need to
Allah Most High, by performing ritual ablution (Wudu), praying 2 Rakats, and then making whole-
hearted Dua to Allah. If one uses the mentioned Prophetic supplication, or other similar supplications
transmitted from the Beloved Messenger of Allah SAW, it is best. (Al-Fatawa al-Hindiyya; Ibn Abidin,
Radd al-Muhtar)

In this manner, the act of performing Salaah Al Hajah has been endorsed and recorded by many leading
traditionists and jurists from among the former and latter scholars in their respective books.

As such, it is one which is commendable and acceptable in the teachings of Islam. It is not fabricated, nor
is it a Bid’ah. The handful of people and their respective scholors who discourage people from practising
Salaatul Hajaat should in fact follow these ahadith in which we have been strictly instructed to follow
the majority and not deviate from the majority…

1. The holy Prophet(Sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said “Without doubt my Ummah will never be gathered
in misguidance. Whenever you see disagreement, then hold fast to the Sawad-e-Azam (the great
majority)” [Ibne Majah]

2. The holy Prophet(Sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said ” Follow the way of the largest group of Muslims!
For, he who deviates from this group will be thrown into Hell!” [Ibne Majah]

3. The holy Prophet(Sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said ” Allah will never allow my Ummah to unite upon
misguidance and incorrect beliefs. Allah’s mercy, blessings and protection are with the largest group of
Muslims. And he who deviates from this largest group of Muslims will be thrown into Hell.” [ Tirmizi]

4. The holy Prophet(Sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said ” He who deviates from the largest group of
Muslims, even as much as a hand span, has himself cut off his connection with Islam.” [Abu Daud, Imam
Ahmed]

The inward manners of supplication is exhibiting our neediness and absolute slavehood to Allah,
consigning one’s matters to Allah, and knowing that the only one who gives or benefits is Allah Most
High. With this, one should be certain that Allah Most High answers our duas, but in the way He knows
is best for us.
When circumstances do not permit us to pray 2 rakats, one should still turn to Allah in supplication,
raising one’s needs to Him, for He answers our supplications and loves being asked.

Important Notes related to Salaatul Hajaat

1.Put on clean clothes and make wadhu with full concentration and use miswaak if possible as it would
increase the blessings of salaat.

2.Select a clean place free from all distractions so that the salaat can be offered with full concentration.

3.Women ensure you are covering your hair as per the hajaab rulings essential for any salaat.

4.The entire amal of salaatul Hajaat should be done with full concentration, and imagining that Allah is

5.Offer 2 units salaat patiently, with prolonged qirat, prolonged ruku and sajdah and never hurry up.

6.Understand and ponder over the meaning of prophetic dua’s used in Salaatul Hajaat as it would make

This format is not from hadith related to Salaatul Hajaat (however, it is derived from other ahadith and
practices of pious) and hence its not mandatory to follow this while offering salaatul hajaat. We are
sharing this format based on our knowledge, inshaAllah, this format will make the amal makbool/
acceptable in the sight of Allah.

After offering 2 units salaatul Hajaat and before getting up or moving from the place of salaat, facing
qiblah, raise your hands for dua and recite

1.Aoozubillaahi Mi-nash ShYataan Ir-rajeem BisMillaah Ir-Rah-maan Ir-Ra-heem -1x

Dua 1 of Offering Salaatul Hajaat

Salaatul Hajaat Dua 1

Hazrat Abullah ibn Abi Awfa RA relates that the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said,
“Whoever has a need with Allah, or with any human being, then let them perform ritual ablutions well
and then pray two Rakats. After that, let them praise Allah and send blessings on the Prophet (Sallallahu
Alaihi Wasallam). After this, let them say: “La ilaha illallahul Halimul karim, Subhanallahi Rabbil Arshil
Azim, Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Alamin, Asaluka Mujibaati Rahmatika Wa Azaa’ima maghfiratika Wal
Ghanimata Min Kulli Birrin, Was salamata Min Kulli Ithmin, La Tada’ Li Zanmban Illa Ghafartahu, Wa la
Hamman Illa Farrajtahu, Wa la hajatan hiya Laka Ridhan Illa Qadhaitaha, Ya Arhamar Rahimeen.”

Meaning: There there no god but Allah the Clement and Wise. There is no god but Allah the High and
Mighty. Glory be to Allah, Lord of the Tremendous Throne.

All praise is to Allah, Lord of the worlds. I ask you (O Allah) everything that leads to your mercy, and your
tremendous forgiveness, enrichment in all good, and freedom from all sin. Do not leave a sin of mine (O
Allah), except that you forgive it, nor any concern except that you create for it an opening, nor any need
in which there is your good pleasure except that you fulfill it, O Most Merciful!

(Related by Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah. The Hadith has some weakness, but it is slight: such Hadiths are
acted upon for virtuous deeds (fada’il al-a`mal) by general agreement of the scholars. Furthermore, it
has been practiced over the years from the time of the Sahabah (Radiallahu Anhum) until now.)
In this regard, the celebrated Muhaddith (traditionist) and Faqeeh (jurist), Ibn Qudama (died 620 A.H.)
has mentioned ‘the chapter of Salaah Al Hajah in his famous and authentic book, ‘Al Mugni’. In this he
writes ‘The chapter of Salaah Al Hajah’. From Abdullah bin Abi Awfa (R.A.), he said that the Messenger of
Allah (S.A.S.) said, ‘whoever has a need from Allah or from any of the children of Adam, let him perform
wazu and do it good. Then let him perform two rakaats and glorify Allah and send blessings upon the
Prophet. Then he should say, ‘La ilaha Illalahul Kareem …..’. (Al Mugni Vol. 1 Pg. 134)

Dua 2 of offering Salaatul Hajaat

Salaatul Hajaat Dua 2

On the authority of Hazrat Uthman bin Hunaif RA that a blind man came to the Messenger of Allah
(Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and asked him to invoke Allah so that he is cured. The Prophet replied that
invocation could be postponed if he wanted to since it would be better for him that way or he (Prophet)
could supplicate for him (right now). He asked to supplicate. The Prophet ordered him for a well
performed ablution and to pray two raka’at and then follow it with the following supplication: “O Allah! I
am asking you and I am attending to you with/through Your Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w), the Prophet of
mercy. O Muhammad! (s.a.w) I am attending to my Lord through you so my request gets answered. O
Allah! Accept his mediation (Prophet’s prayer) for me.

[Ref: Ibn Maja 1375, Tirmidhi 3502, Al-Hakim Vol. 1 Hadith 1180 & 1909, Tareekh Al-Kabeer of Bukhari,
Vol. 6, Page 209, Hadith no 2192]

Collection Of 500 Short and Easy Hadith

Collection Of 500 Short and Easy Hadith

Introduction to Ahadith It goes without saying that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) has left us
with two powerful sources for the improvement of the individual, the society and for the nations, those
are: the Holy Quran and ahadith. The Quran was revealed to the Last Messenger (peace be upon him)
through the angel Gabriel. The ahadith show us the diversities a single person can have, and the ways
these diversities may be used to produce an optimal performance, where the performance is exemplary
for future generations. This was one of the main tasks of the Last Messenger (peace be upon him), to
guide humanity on the right path. Muhammad (peace be upon him) was a son, a husband, a father, an
advisor, a warrior, a leader, a judge and most important of all, he was the Seal of the Prophets – the last
messenger of Allah. A man with such a character and such a vast field of responsibility is indeed
deserving of biographical study, and through the ages, biographical researches have been carried out.
The collection of ahadith is the result of these researchers. The study of ahadith is a science itself. To
mention some branches within the study of ahadith, there is the science of Asma’ul Rijal (the science of
study of the life-history of 500,000 narrators), the science of Mustalih al-Hadith (the science of
classifying a hadith as authentic or weak), the science of Gharib al-hadith (the study of the linguistic
origins of the difficult words used in ahadith). I have mentioned only three different sciences though this
list can extend to over 100. This again indicates the immense importance of ahadith and the importance
of understanding them.

The main source of ahadith can be found in six sahihs. These six sahihs are: Sahih al-Bukhari (d. 256 A.H.
= 870 A.D.)

Sahih Muslim (d. 261 A.H. = 875 A.D.)

Sunan Ibn Majah (d. 273 A.H. = 887 A.D.)

Sunan Abu Dawud (d. 275 A.H. = 888 A.D.)

Jami al-Tirmidhi (d. 279 A.H. = 892 A.D.)

Sunan al-Nisai (d. 303 A.H. = 915 A.D.)

A.H. = After Hegira A.D. = Anno Domini

“In preparing their collections, these Traditions obviously used a critical technique to decide what they
would include and what they should reject. Bukhari, for example, examined 600,000 traditions of which
he excepted only 7,397. There purpose was to assemble a body of traditions which would serve as a rule
of life for practising Muslims, so their primary interest was in selecting such traditions as would give
clear guidance concerning what Muslims belief and practice should be, what things were permissible
and approved, and what were not permissible and disapproved.” (Shariah: The Islamic Law. by Abdur
Rahman I. Doi:54)

It should be quite evident from the above cited paragraph that the task of compiling ahadith was by no
means simple. Although the most painstaking techniques had been employed to decide which ahadith
should be included and which should be rejected there were found grounds for classification of ahadith.
The ahadith are therefore classified in the following manner: 1.Sahih: These are the genuine Traditions
so declared after applying all tests. 2.Hasan: These are the fair Traditions although inferior in the matter
of authenticity to the Sahih. 3. Daif: These are the weak traditions which are not so very reliable.”
(Ibid:57).

Before I proceed, I wish to explain the meanings of isnad and matn as the understanding of these words
is considered profitable for the reader. A hadith consists of two parts. The chain of transmitters
comprises one part while the message within the hadith completes it. The former is known as isnad
while the latter is matn. Continuing with the classification of ahadith, the daif ahadith are divided
further: a The Mu’allaq Traditions: These are those Traditions in which one or two transmitters are
omitted in the beginning of the Isnad. b. The Maqtu Traditions: These are those Traditions which are
reported by a Tabi’i, a man of second category after the Prophet. c. The Munqati Traditions: These are
the broken Traditions. d. The Mursal Traditions: These are the incomplete Traditions in the Isnad of
which a companion (Sahabi) is omitted, e.g. A Tabi’i says, the Prophet said…. e. The Musahhaf
Traditions: These are the traditions which have a mistake in words or letters of the Isnad or the Matn
e.g. Hasan is written as Hashan. f. The Shadh Traditions: These are the traditions with a reliable chain of
reporters but their meanings are contrary to other similarly attested Traditions narrated by the majority
of the contemporary transmitters. g. The Maudu Traditions: These are the fabricated and untrue
Traditions.” (Ibid:57).

I have now presented a very short introduction to the background of ahadith. I would most strongly
recommend the interested reader to read the book “Shariah: The Islamic Law” by Abdur Rahman I. Doi.
It is a book which I have used extensively and found most interesting and informative. The same author
has also published a book which is titled “Non-Muslims under Shariah”, another informative book which
I would recommend. Lastly I would like to thank the people concerned in providing me with the facility
for distributing this collection. Without their help, time, and effort, I am quite certain that this work
would not have come to the notice of so many people in so many places. May Allah give them peace and
bless them all. Amen.

——————————————————————————–

FAITH (IMAN)

1. Islam is based on five things: the testimony that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad (peace
and blessings of Allah be upon him) is His servant and messenger, the observance of the prayer, the
payment of Zakat, the pilgrimage, and the fast during Ramadan.(Bukhari, Muslim).

2. The Muslim is he from whose tongue and hand the Muslims are safe, and the Emigrant is he who
abandons what God has prohibited. (Bukhari).

3. None of you believes till I am dearer to him than his father, his child and all mankind. (Bukhari,
Muslim).

4. He who is not trustworthy has no Faith, and he who does not keep his Covenant has no religion.
(Baihaqi).

5. What is Faith? When your good deed pleases you and your evil deed grieves you, you are a believer.
What is Sin? When a thing disturbs (the peace of) your heart, give it up. (Ahmad).

——————————————————————————–

MAJOR SINS AND SIGNS OF HYPOCRISY

6. The major sins are associating other objects of worship with God, disobedience to parents, murder,
and deliberate perjury. (Bukhari, Muslim).

7. There are three signs of a hypocrite: when he speaks he speaks lies, when he makes a promise he
breaks it, and when he is trusted he betrays his trust. (Bukhari).

8. Avoid the seven noxious things.(1) Associating anything with God, (2) magic,(3) killing one whom God
has declared inviolate without a just cause, (4) devouring usury, (5) consuming the property of an
orphan, running back from the battlefield and, (7) slandering chaste women who are believers but
indiscreet. (Bukhari, Muslim).

9. Four characteristics constitute anyone who possesses them a sheer hypocrite, and anyone who
possesses one of them possesses a characteristic of hypocrisy till he abandons it: when he is trusted he
betrays his trust, when he talks he lies, when he makes a covenant he acts treacherously and when he
quarrels he abuses. (Bukhari, Muslim).

——————————————————————————–

KNOWLEDGE

10. When a man dies no further reward is recorded for his actions, with three exceptions: Sadqa which
continues to be supplied, or knowledge from which benefit continues to be reaped, or the prayers of a
good son to his dead father. (Muslim).

11. If anyone removes (one of the) anxieties of this world from a believer, God will remove (one of the)
anxieties from him on the Day of Resurrection; if one smoothes the way for one who is destitute, God
will smooth the way for him in this world and the next; and if anyone conceals the faults of a Muslim,
God will conceal his faults in this world and the next. God helps a man as long as he helps his brother. If
anyone pursues a path in search of knowledge God will thereby make easy for him a path to paradise.
(Muslim).

12. He who goes out in search of knowledge is in God’s path till he returns. (Tirmidhi, Darimi)
13. The search of knowledge is an obligation laid on every Muslim. (Ibn Majah, Baihaqi).

14. The one who would have the worst position in God’s sight on the Day of Resurrection would be a
learned man who did not profit from his learning. (Darimi).

——————————————————————————–

SUPPLICATIONS (DUA)

15. A man is granted supplication provided he does not ask for anything sinful or for breaking ties of
relationship. (Muslim).

16. You have two characters which God likes; gentleness and deliberation. (Muslim).

17. Nothing but supplication averts the decree, and nothing but righteousness increases life.(Tirmidhi).

——————————————————————————–

REMEMBRANCE OF ALLAH

18. People will not sit remembering God without the angels surrounding them, mercy covering them,
peace descending on them. (Muslim).

19.He who remembers his Lord and he who does not are like the living and dead. (Bukhari, Muslim).

20. Hadhrat Jaabir (Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “The
distinguishing factor between kufr and Imaan is the deliberate neglect of Salaat.” (Muslim).
21. He who does a good deed will have ten times the amount of blessings, and I [God] shall give more,
but he who does an evil deed will have an equivalent reward of evil, or I shall grant forgiveness. If
anyone draws the length of a span near Me, I shall draw the length of a cubit near him, and if anyone
draws the length of a cubit near Me, I shall draw the length of a fathom near him. If anyone comes to
Me walking I shall come to him at a run, and if anyone meets me with sins of the size of the earth, but
has not associated anything with Me, I shall meet him a similar amount of forgiveness. (Muslim).

22. Hadhrat Jaabir (Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
“Salaat is the key to Jannat.” (Darami).

23. Hadhrat Abdulah Ibn Qart (Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Muhammad (peace be upon
him) said: “The first act about which one will be questioned on the Day of Qiyammah will be Salaat. If
Salaat is found to be proper, other acts will pass as proper. But, if Salaat is found there to be despoiled,
then all other acts too will fail.” (Tibrani, Ausat).

24. Hadhrat Hanzalah (Allah be pleased with him) narrates that he heard Muhammad say: “Whoever
guards the five Salaat while believing that the Salaat is the Right of Allah, will enter Jannat.” (Ahmad).

25. Hadhrat Bareedah (Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
“The subject of pledge which exists between the people and us (the Ambiyaa) is Salaat. Thus, whoever
neglects Salaat has become a kaafir (i.e. in terms of practical life, not in terms of Imaan).” (Ahmad,
Tirmidhi, Nisai, Ibn Majah).

26. A time will come to mankind when man will not care whether what he gets comes from a lawful or
an unlawful source. (Bukhari).

27. Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Muhammad (peace be upon him)
said: “Will there remain any impurity on a person who baths five times a day in a river flowing in front of
his house?” The people said: “No impurity will remain on him.” Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
“This is the effect of the five Salaat. By means of it, Allah Ta’ala purifies the performer of all sins.”
(Bukhari, Muslim).
28. Hadhrat Abdur Rahmaan Bin Amr Bin Al-A’s (Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Muhammad
(peace be upon him) said: “Salaat on the Day of Qiyaamah, will be a light, a proof and a means of
salvation for the one who guarded it. He who neglects Salaat, will have no light, no proof and no
salvation (from the direction of Salaat) He (the one who neglects Salaat) will be in the company of
Qaroon, Fir’oun, Haamaan and Ubay Ibn Khalf on the Day of Qiyaamah.” (Ahmad, Darami, Baihaqi,
Shu’bul Imaan).

29. No body which has been nourished with what is unlawful will enter paradise. (Baihaqi).

30. Flesh which has grown out of what is unlawful will not enter paradise, but hell is more fitting for all
flesh which has grown out of what is unlawful. (Ahmad, Darimi, Baihaqi).

31. The truthful and trusty merchant is associated with the prophets, the upright and the martyrs.
(Tirmidhi, Darimi, Daraqutni).

32. If anyone buys a garment for ten dirhams among which one is unlawfully acquired, God most high
will not accept prayer from him as long as he wears it. (Bukhari).

——————————————————————————–

THOSE WHO ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BEG

33. He who begs the property of others to increase his own is asking only for live coals, so let him ask
little as much.(Muslim).

34.It is better for one of you to take a rope, bring a load of firewood on his back, and sell it, God thereby
preserving his self respect, than that he should beg from people whether they give him anything or
refuse him. (Bukhari).
35. If anyone guarantees me that he will not beg from people, I will guarantee him paradise. (Abu
Dawud, Nasa’i).

——————————————————————————–

SPENDING

36. If you spend (to help others), O son of Adam! I [God] shall spend on you. (Bukhari, Muslim).

37. It is better for a man to give a dirham as Sadqa during his lifetime than to give a hundred at the time
of his death.(Abu Dawud).

38. Do not consider any act of kindness insignificant, even meeting your brother with a cheerful face.
(Muslim).

39. Sadqa given to a poor man is just Sadqa, but when given to a relative it serves a double purpose,
being both Sadqa and a connecting link. (Ahmad, Tirmidhi, Nasai, Ibn Majah, Darimi).

——————————————————————————–

HOARDING

40. If anyone keeps goods till the price rises, he is a sinner. (Muslim).

41. He who brings goods for sale is blessed with good fortune, but he who keeps them till the price rises
is accursed. (Ibn Majah, Darimi).
42. If anyone withholds grain for forty days thereby desiring a high price, has renounced God and God
has renounced him. (Razin).

43. The man who withholds goods is evil. If God lowers prices he is grieved, and if He raises then he is
happy. (Baihaqi).

——————————————————————————–

INSOLVENCY AND RESPITE

44. He who grants a respite to one who is in straightened circumstances or who remits his debt, will be
saved by God from the anxieties of the Day of Resurrection. (Muslim).

45. If anyone accepts others belongings meaning to pay back, God will pay back for him, but if anyone
accepts them meaning to squander them, God will on that account destroy his property. (Bukhari).

46. Every fault but a debt will be forgiven to a martyr. (Bukhari).

47. A believer’s soul is attached to his debt till it is paid. (Shafi’i, Ahmad, Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, Darimi).

——————————————————————————–

USURY

48. Gold is to be paid by gold, silver by silver, wheat by wheat, barley by barley, dates by dates and salt
by salt, like for like, payment being made on the spot. If anyone gives more or asks for more, he has
dealt in usury. The receiver and the giver are equally guilty. (Muslim).

204. Actions are but by intention and every man shall have but that which he intended. Thus he whose
migration was for Allah and His Messenger, and he whose migration was to achieve some worldly
benefit or to take some woman in marriage was for that he for which he migrated. (Bukhari).

205. He who innovates something in which this matter of ours that is not of it will have it rejected.
(Bukhari, Muslim).

206. He who does an act which our matter is not [in agreement] with, will have it rejected. (Muslim).

207. The believers whose faith ” None of you [truly] believes until he wishes for his brother what he
wishes for himself.(Bukhari, Muslim).

208. There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm. (Ibn Majah and Daraqutni).
209. Hazrat Umar (Allah be pleased with him) said: One day while we were sitting with the Messenger of
Allah (peace be upon him) there appeared before us a man whose clothes were exceedingly white and
whose hair was exceedingly black; no signs of journeying were to be seen on him and none of us knew
him. He walked and sat down by the Prophet (peace be upon him). Resting his knees against his and
placing the palm of his hands on his thigh, he said: O Muhammad, tell me about Islam. The Messenger of
Allah (peace be upon him) said: Islam is to testify that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the
Messenger of Allah, to perform the prayers, to pay the zakat, to fast in Ramadan, and to make the
pilgrimage to the House if you are able to do so. He said: You have spoken rightly, and we were amazed
at him asking him and saying that he had spoken right. He said: Then tell me about iman. The Prophet
(may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: It is to believe in Allah, His angels, His books,
His messengers and the Last Day, and to believe in divine destiny, both the good and evil thereof. He
said: You have spoken rightly. He said: Then tell me about ihsan, The Prophet (may the blessings and
peace of Allah be upon him ) said: It is to worship Allah as though you are seeing Him, and while you see
Him not yet truly He sees you. He said then tell me about the Hour, The Prophet (peace be upon him)
said: The one questioned about it knows no better than the questioner. He said: Tell me about its signs.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: The slave-girl will give birth to her mistress and that you will see
the barefooted naked, destitute herdsmen competing in constructing lofty buildings. Then he took
himself off and I stayed for a time. Then the Prophet (may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon)
said: O Umar, do you know who the questioner was? I said: Allah and hid Messenger know best. The
Prophet (peace be upon him) said: It was Gabriel, who came to you to teach you your religion. (Muslim).

210. That which is lawful is plain and that which is unlawful is plain and between the two if them are
doubtful matters about which not many people know. Thus he who avoids doubtful matters clears
himself in regard to his religion and his honour, but he who falls into doubtful matters falls into that
which is unlawful, like the shepherd who pastures around the sanctuary, all but grazing therein. Truly
every king has a sanctuary, and truly Allah’s sanctuary is His prohibitions. Truly in the body there is a
morsel of flesh which, if diseased, all of it is diseased. Truly it is the heart. (Bukhari, Muslim).

211. What I have forbidden to you, avoid; what I have ordered you [to do], do as much of it as you can.
It was only their excessive questioning and their disagreeing with their Prophets that destroyed those
who were before you. (Bukhari, Muslim).

212. Leave that which makes you in doubt for that which does not make you doubt. (Tirmidhi, Nasai).

213. Part of someone’s being a good Muslim is his leaving alone that which does not concern him.
(Tirmidhi).
214. Fear Allah wherever you are, and follow up a bad deed with a good deed and it will wipe it out, and
behave well towards people. (Tirmidhi).

215. Purity is half of faith. Al-hamdu lillah [Praise be to Allah] fills the scales, and Subhana ‘llah [How far
is Allah from every imperfection] and Al-hamdu lillah [Praise be to Allah] fill that which is between
heaven and earth. Prayer is light; charity is a proof; patience is illumination; and the Quran is an
argument for or against you. Everyone starts his day and is a vendor of his soul, either freeing it or
bringing about its ruin. (Muslim).

216. I have been ordered to fight against people until they testify that there is no god but Allah and that
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah and until he perform the prayers and pay the zakat, and if they do
so, they will have gained protection from me for their lives and property, unless [they do acts that are
punishable] in accordance with Islam, and their reckoning will be with Allah the Almighty. (Bukhari,
Muslim).

217. Verily Allah has prescribed proficiency in all things. Thus, if you kill, kill well; and if you slaughter,
slaughter well. Let each one of you sharpen his blade and let him spare suffering to the animal he
slaughters. (Muslim).

218. There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm. (Ibn Majah and Daraqutni).

219. Allah the Almighty is good and accepts only that which is good. Allah has commanded the
Messengers, and the Almighty has said: “O ye Messengers! Eat of the good things and do right.” And
Allah has said: “O ye who believe ! Eat of the good things wherewith We have provided you.” Then the
Prophet (peace be upon him) mentioned [the case of] a man who, having journeyed far, is dishevelled
and dusty and who spreads out his hands to the sky [saying]: O Lord! O Lord! – while his food is
unlawful, his drink unlawful, his clothing unlawful, and he is nourished unlawfully, so how can he be
answered! (Muslim).

220. Among the words people obtained from the First Prophecy are: If you feel no shame, then do as
you wish. (Bukhari).
221. None of you [truly] believes until his inclination is in accordance with what I ((Muhammad), may
the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him ) have brought. (Kitab al-Hujja).

222. Righteousness is good morality, and wrongdoing is that which wavers in your soul and which you
dislike people finding out about. (Muslim).

223. Allah the Almighty has laid down religious duties, so do not neglect them; He has set boundaries, so
do not overstep them; He has prohibited some things, so do not violate them; about some things He
was silent out of compassion for you, not forgetfulness, so seek not after them. (Daraqutni)

224. Each person’s every joint must perform a charity every day they comes up: to act justly between
two people is a charity; to help a man with his mount, lifting him onto it or hoisting up his belongings
onto it is a charity; a good word is a charity; every step you take to prayers (i.e. on your way to the
mosque) is a charity and removing a harmful thing from the road is a charity. (Bukhari, Muslim).

225. The blood of a Muslim may not be legally spilt other than in one of three [instances]: the married
person commits adultery; a life for life; and one who forsakes his religion and abandons the community.
(Bukhari, Muslim).

226. Were people to be given in accordance with their claim, men would claim the fortunes and lives of
[other] people, but the onus of proof is on the claimant and the taking of an oath is the incumbent upon
him who denies. (Al-Baihaqi).

227. Hadhrat Abu Bakr Siddique (Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace be upon
him) said: “A man who harms a Muslim and deceives him, is accursed.” (Tirmidhi).

228. Allah has pardoned for me my people for [their] mistakes and [their] forgetfulness and for what
they have done under duress. (Ibn Majah, Baihaqi).

229. Allah has written down the good deeds and the bad ones. Then He explained it [by saying that] 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 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).

230. Do not envy one another; do not inflate prices one to another; do not hate one another; do not
turn away from one another; and do not undercut one another, but be you. O servants of Allah,
brothers. A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim: he neither oppresses him nor does he fail him, he neither
lies to him nor does he hold him in contempt. Piety is right here-and the Prophet (peace be upon him)
pointed to his breast three times. It is evil enough for a man to hold his brother Muslim in contempt.
The whole of a Muslim for another is inviolable: his blood, his property and his honour. (Muslim).

231. Some of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said to the Prophet:(peace
be upon him) O Messenger of Allah, the affluent have made off with the rewards: they pray as we pray,
they fast as we fast, and they give away in charity the superfluity of their wealth. The Prophet (peace be
upon him) said: Has not Allah made things for you to give away in charity? Truly every tasbiha is a
charity every takbira is a charity, every tahmida is a charity and every tahlia is a charity; to enjoin a good
action is a charity, to forbid an evil action is a charity and in a sexual act each of you there are a charity.
They said: O Messenger of Allah, when one of us fulfils his sexual desire will he have some reward for
that? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Do you [not] think that were he to act upon it unlawfully he
wold be sinning? Likewise, if he has acted upon it lawfully he will have a reward. (Muslim).

232. Allah the Almighty has said: Whosoever shows enmity to a friend of Mine, I shall be at war with
him. My servant does not draw near to Me with anything more loved by Me than the religious duties I
have imposed upon him, and My servant continues to draw near to Me with supererogatory works so
that I shall love him. When I love him, I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he
sees, his hands with which he strikes and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask [something] of
Me, I would surely give it to him; and were he to ask me for refuge, I would surely grant him it.
(Bukhari).

233.The son of Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) use to say: At evening do not expect [to live
till] morning, and at morning do not expect [to live till] evening. Take from your health for your illness
and from your life for your death. (Bukhari).
234. A man came to the Prophet (may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him ) and said: O
Messenger of Allah, direct me to an act which, if I do it, [will cause] Allah to love me and people to love
me. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Renounce the world and Allah will love you, and renounce
what people possess and people will love you. (Ibn Majah).

237. Allah has prescribed certain obligations for you, so do not neglect them; He has defined certain
limits, so do not transgress them; He has prohibited certain things, so do not do them; and He has kept
silent concerning other things out of mercy for you and not because of forgetfulness, so do not ask
questions concerning them. (Daraqutni).

them to associate with Me that for which I had sent down any authority.(Muslim).

242. A time will come when people will devour usury, calling it “trade.” (Bukhari, Muslim).

247. If a person earns property through haram means and gives charity, it will not be accepted (by
Allah): if he spends it there will be no blessing on it; and if he leaves it behind (at his death) it will be his
provision in the Fire. Indeed Allah Ta’ala does not obliterate one bad deed by another bad deed, but He
does cancel out a bad deed by a good deed. An unclean thing does not wipe away another unclean
thing. (Ahmad).

338. When one of you asks for a woman in marriage, if he is able to look at what will induce him to
marry her, he should do so. (Abu Dawud).

339. Hadhrat Ibn Mas’ood (Allah be pleased with him) and Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (Allah be pleased with
him) narrate the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “There will dawn a time over people
when the destruction of a man will be at the hands of his wife, parents, and children. They will humiliate
him because of his poverty and will make such demands which will induce him to engage in such
activities (to gain more money) which will finally destroy his Deen.” (Baihaqi)

340. Verily, Allah sent Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) with truth and He sent
down the Book upon him and the verse of stoning was included in what was sent down to him. We
recited it, retained in our memory and understood it. Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be
upon him) awarded the punishment of stoning to death (to the married adulterer and adulteress) and
after him, we also awarded the punishment of stoning to death. I am afraid that, with the lapse of time,
the people (may forget it) and may say: We do not find the punishment of stoning to death in the Book
of Allah, and thus go astray by abandoning this duty prescribed by Allah. Stoning to death is a duty laid
down in Allah’s Book for married men and women who commit adultery when proof is established.
(Muslim).

341. Abdullah b. Umar reported that a Jew and a Jewess were brought to Allah’s Messenger (peace and
blessings of Allah be upon him) who had committed adultery. Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings of
Allah be upon him) came to the Jews and said: What do you find in Torah for one who commits
adultery? They said: We darken their faces and make them ride on the donkey with their faces turned to
the opposite direction (and their backs touching each other) and then they are taken round (the city). He
said: Bring the Torah if you are truthful. They brought it and recited it until when they came to the verse
pertaining to stoning, the person who was reading placed his hand on the verse pertaining to stoning,
and read (only that which was) between his hands and what was subsequent to that. Abdullah b. Salam
who was at that time with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
Command him (the reciter) to lift his hand. He lifted his hand and there was, underneath that, the verse
pertaining to stoning. Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) pronounced
judgement about both of them and they were stoned. Abdullah b. Umar said: I was one of those who
stoned them, and I saw him (the Jew) protecting her (the Jewess with his body). (Muslim).

342. Allah the Almighty has said: O son Of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and ask of Me, I shall
forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the
clouds of the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive you. O son of Adam, were
you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth and were you then to face Me, ascribing no
partner to Me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great as it. (Tirmidhi).

344. Mu’aviyah ibn Jahimah reported, Jahimah came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said: “O
Messenger of Allah! I intend that I should enlist in the fighting force and I have come to consult thee. He

feet. (Nisai).
345. Abu Huraira said, The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “The most perfect of the

346. Aswad said, I asked A’isha, “What did the Prophet (peace be upon him) do when in his house? She
said, he served his wife, meaning that he did work for his wife. (Bukhari).

347. Anas said, The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “Help thy brother whether he is the
doer of wrong or wrong is done to him.” They (his companions) said, “O Messenger of Allah! We can
help a man to whom wrong is done, but how could we help him when he is the doer of wrong?” He said:
“Take hold of his hands from doing wrong.” (Bukhari).

348. Anas said reported, The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “Do not hate one another
and be not jealous of one another and do not boycott one another, and be servants of Allah (as)
brethren; and it is not lawful for a Muslim that he should sever his relations with his brother for more
than three days.” (Bukhari).

349. A’isha reported, The Jews came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said, “Death overtake you!
may Allah curse you and may Allah’s wrath descend on you. He (the Prophet) said: “Gently, O A’isha! Be
courteous, and keep thyself away from roughness. (Bukhari, Muslim, Mishkat).

350.Ibn Abbas said, The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “He is not of us who does not
show mercy to our little ones and respect to our great ones. (Tirmidhi, Mishkat).

351. Narrated Anas Ibn Masud (Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to
take care of us in preaching by selecting a suitable time, so that we might not get bored. (He abstained
from pestering us with sermons and knowledge all the time). (Sahih Al-Bukhari Vol 1).
352. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Whomsoever Allah intends to do good, He gives right
understanding of religion, and knowledge is maintained only through teaching.” (Bukhari).

353. Abu Huraira said, The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “The word of wisdom is the
lost property of the believer, so wherever he finds it he has a better right to it.” (Tirmidhi).

354.Narrated Abdullah bin Masud (Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet (peace be upon him) said,
“Do not wish to be like anyone except in two cases. (1) (The first is) A person, whom Allah has given
wealth and he spends it righteously; (2) (the second is) the one whom Allah has given wisdom (the Holy
Quran) and he acts according to it and teaches it to others.” (Sahih Al-Bukhari Vol 1).

355. Narrated Abu Wail (Allah be pleased with him): Abdullah used to give religious talk to the people on
every Thursday. Once a man said, “O Aba Abdur-Rahman! (By Allah) I wish if you could preach us daily.”
He replied, “The only thing which prevents me from doing so, is that I hate to bore you, and no doubt I
take care of you in preaching by selecting a suitable time just as the Prophet (peace be upon him) used
to do with us, for fearing of making us bored.” (Sahih Al-Bukhari Vol 1).

356. Narrated Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet (peace be upon him) said,
“(Religious) knowledge will be taken away (by the death of religious scholars) ignorance (in religion) and
afflictions will appear; and Harj will increase.” It was asked, “What is Harj O Allah’s Apostle (peace be
upon him) ?” He replied by beckoning with his hand indicating “killing.” (Sahih Al-Bukhari Vol 1).

357. Narrated Anas (Allah be pleased with him): Allah’s Apostle (peace be upon him) said: “From among
the potents of the Hour are (the following): 1.Religious knowledge will be taken away (by the death of
religious learned men). 2.(Religious) ignorance will prevail. 3.Drinking of Alcoholic drinks (will be very
common). 4.There will be prevalence of open illegal sexual intercourse. (Sahih Al-Bukhari Vol 1).

358. Narrated Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) There is none among the companions of the
Prophet (peace be upon him) who has narrated more Hadiths than I except, Abdullah bin Amr (bin Al-As)
who used to write them and I never did the same. (Sahih Al-Bukhari Vol 1).
359. Narrated Anas (Allah be pleased with him): Whenever the Prophet (peace be upon him) spoke a
sentence (said something), he used to repeat it thrice so that the people could understand it properly
from him and whenever he asked permission to enter, (he knocked the door) thrice with greeting. (Sahih
Al-Bukhari Vol 1).

360. Narrated Abu Musa (Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “The
example of guidance and knowledge with which Allah has sent me is like abundant rain falling on the
earth, some of which was fertile soil that absorbed rain water and brought forth vegetation and grass in
abundance. (And) another portion of it was hard and held the rain water and Allah benefited the people
with it and they utilized it for drinking, making their animals drink from it and for irrigation of the land
for cultivation. (And) a portion of it was barren which could neither hold the water nor bring forth
vegetation (then the land did not give any benefits). The first is the example of the person who
comprehends Allah’s religion and gets benefit (from the knowledge) which Allah has revealed through
me (the Prophet) and learns and then teaches others. The last example is that of person who does not
care for it and does not take Allah’s guidance revealed through me (He is like the barren land).” (Sahih
Al-Bukhari Vol 1).

361. Narrated Anas (Allah be pleased with him): I will narrate to you a Hadith and none other than I will
tell you about after it. I heard Allah’s Apostle (peace be upon him) saying: 1.Religious knowledge will
decrease (by the death of religious learned men). 2.(Religious) ignorance will prevail. 3.There will be
prevalence of open illegal sexual intercourse. 4.Women will increase in number and men will decrease in
number so much that fifty women will be looked after by one man. (Sahih Al-Bukhari Vol 1).

362. Narrated Anas (Allah be pleased with him): The fact which stops me from narrating a great number
of Hadiths to you is that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever tells a lie against me
intentionally, then (surely) let him occupy his seat in Hell-fire. (Sahih Al-Bukhari Vol 1).

363. Narrated Salama (Allah be pleased with him): I heard the Prophet (may the blessings and peace of
Allah be upon) him) saying, “Whoever (intentionally) ascribes to me what I have not said then (surely)
let him occupy his seat in Hell-fire. (Sahih Al-Bukhari Vol 1).

364. Narrated Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him): I said: O Allah’s Apostle (peace be upon him) !,
“Who will be the luckiest person, who will gain your intercession in the Day of Resurrection?” Allah’s
Apostle (may the blessings and peace of Allah be) upon him) said: O Abu Huraira! “I have thought that
none will ask me about it before you as I know your longing for the (learning of) Hadiths. The luckiest
person who will have my intercession on the Day of Resurrection will be the one who said sincerely from
the bottom of his heart “None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.” (Sahih Al-Bukhari Vol 1).

365. Umar bin Abdul Aziz wrote to Abu Bakr bin Hazm, “look for the knowledge of Hadith and get it
written, as I am afraid that religious knowledge will vanish and the religious learned men will pass away
(die). Do not accept anything save the Hadiths of the Prophet may the blessings and peace of Allah be
upon him). Circulate knowledge and teach the ignorant, for knowledge does not vanish except when it is
kept secretly (to oneself). (Sahih Al-Bukhari Vol 1).

366. Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace be upon him)
said: “The fornication of the eyes is to look with lust; the fornication of the tongue is to speak lustful
things; the fornication of the hands is to touch with lust; the fornication of the feet is to walk towards
lust; the fornication of the heart is to desire evil;…” (Muslim)

367. Narrated Abdullah bin Amr bin Al As (Allah be pleased with him): I heard Allah’s Apostle (peace be
upon him) saying: “Allah does not take away the knowledge by taking it away from (the hearts of) the
people, but takes it away by the death of the religious learned men till when none of the (religious
learned men) remains, people will take as their leaders ignorant persons who when consulted will give
their verdict without knowledge. So they will go astray and will lead people astray.” (Sahih Al-Bukhari
Vol 1).

368. Abu Huraira said, The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “People are like mines of silver
and gold; the more excellent of them in the days of Ignorance are the more excellent of them in Islam
when they attain knowledge. (Muslim, Mishkat).

369. Narrated Abdullah (Allah be pleased with him): While I was going with the Prophet (peace be upon
him) through the ruins of Medina and he was reclining on a date-palm leaf stalk, some Jews passed by.
Some of them said to the others; Ask him ( the Prophet (peace be upon him)) about the spirit. Some of
them said that they should not ask him that question as he might give a reply which would displease
them. But some of them insisted on asking, and so on of them stood up and asked, “O Aba-l-Qasim!
What is the spirit?” The Prophet (peace be upon him) remained quiet. I thought he was being inspired
Divinely. So I stayed till that state of the Prophet (while being inspired) was over. The Prophet (peace be
upon him) then said, “And they ask you (O Muhammad (peace be upon him) ) concerning the spirit –
Say: The spirit – its knowledge is with my Lord. And of knowledge you have been given but little.”
(17:85). (Sahih Al-Bukhari Vol 1).

378 Narrated Anas (Allah be pleased with him), the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Whoever
possesses the following three qualities will have the sweetness (delight) of faith: 1.The one to whom
Allah and his Apostle becomes dearer than anything else. 2.Who loves a person and he loves him only
for Allah’s sake. 3.Who hates to revert to Atheism (disbelief) as he hates to be thrown into the fire.
(Sahih Al-Bukhari Vol 1).

379. Narrated Anas (Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Love for the

Allah be upon him) said, “Whoever establishes the prayers on the night of Qadr out of sincere faith and
hoping to attain Allah’s rewards (not to show off) then all his past sins will be forgiven.” (Sahih Al-
Bukhari Vol 1).

381. Narrated Ibn Abbas: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “I was shown the Hell-fire and that the
majority of its dwellers were women who were ungrateful.” It was asked, “Do they disbelieve in Allah?”
(or are they ungrateful to Allah?) He replied, they are ungrateful to their husbands and are ungrateful
for the favours and the good (charitable deeds) done to them. If you have always been good
(benevolent) to one of them and then she sees something in you (not of her liking), she will say, ‘I have
never received any good from you.'” (Sahih Al-Bukhari Vol 1).

382. Narrated Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him): Allah’s Apostle (may the blessings and peace of

385. Narrated Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Religion
is very easy and whoever overburdens himself in his religion will not be able to continue in that way. So
you should not be extremists, but try to be near to perfection and receive the good tidings that you will
be rewarded; and gain strength by worshipping in the mornings, afternoons and during the last hours of
the nights.” (Sahih Al-Bukhari Vol 1).

386. Narrated Umar (bin Al-Khattab) (Allah be pleased with him): Allah’s Apostle (peace be upon him)
said, “The reward of deeds depends upon the intention and every person will get the reward according
to what he has intended. So whoever emigrated for Allah and His Apostle (peace be upon him) then his
emigration was for Allah and his Apostle (peace be upon him). And whoever emigrated for worldly
benefits or for a woman to marry, his emigration was what he emigrated for.” (Sahih Al-Bukhari Vol 1).

bin Al-Khattab (Allah be pleased with him) asked, “Which is that verse?” The Jew replied, “This day I
have perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, And have chosen for you Islam as
your religion.” (5:3) Umar (Allah be pleased with him) replied, “No doubt, we know when and where this
verse was revealed to the Prophet (peace be upon him) . It was Friday and the Prophet (peace be upon
him) was standing at Arafat (i.e. the Day of Hajj).” (Sahih Al-Bukhari Vol 1).

AL-MIRAJ

Ascension of the Prophet (peace be upon him) to the heavens).

390. Narrated Anas bin Malik from Malik bin Sa’sa’a (Allah be pleased with him) that Allah’s Apostle
(peace be upon him) described to them his Night Journey saying, “While I was lying in Al-Hatim or Al-
Hijr, suddenly someone came to me and cut my body open from here to here.” I asked Al-Jarud who was
by my side, “It means from his throat to his pubic area,” or said, “from the top of the chest.” The
Prophet (peace be upon him) further said, “He then took out my heart. Then a gold tray full of Belief was
brought to me and my heart was washed and was filled (with Belief) and then returned to its original
place. Then a white animal which was smaller than a mule and bigger than a donkey, was brought to
me.” (on this Al-Jarud asked, “Was it the Buraq, O Abu Hamza?” I (i.e. Anas) replied in the affirmative).
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “The animal’s step (was so wide that it) reached the farthest
point within the reach of the animal’s sight. I was carried on it, and Gabriel set out with me till we
reached the nearest heaven. When he asked for the gate to be opened it was asked, ‘Who is it?’ Gabriel
answered, ‘Gabriel’ It was asked, ‘Who is accompanying you?’ Gabriel replied, ‘Muhammad.’ It was
asked, ‘Has Muhammad been called?’ Gabriel replied in affirmative. Then it was said, ‘He is welcomed.
What an excellent visit his is!’ The gate was opened, and when I went over the first heaven, I saw Adam
there.

Gabriel said (to me), ‘This is your father, Adam; pay him your greetings.’ So I greeted him and he
returned the greeting to me and said, ‘You are welcomed, o pious son and pious Prophet.’ Then Gabriel
ascended with me till we reached the second heaven. Gabriel asked for the gate to be opened. It was
asked, ‘Who is it?’ Gabriel answered, ‘Gabriel’ It was asked, ‘Who is accompanying you?’ Gabriel replied,
‘Muhammad.’ It was asked, ‘Has he been called?’ Gabriel answered in the affirmative. Then it was said,
‘He is welcomed. What an excellent visit his is!’ The gate was opened, and when I went over the second
heaven, there I saw Yaya (i.e. John) and Isa (i.e. Jesus), who were cousins of each other. Gabriel said (to
me), ‘These are John and Jesus; pay them your greetings.’ So I greeted them and both of them returned
my greetings to me and said, ‘You are welcomed, o pious brother and pious Prophet.’ Then Gabriel
ascended with me to the third heaven and asked for its gate to be opened. It was asked, ‘Who is it?’
Gabriel answered, ‘Gabriel’ It was asked, ‘Who is accompanying you?’ Gabriel replied, ‘Muhammad.’ It
was asked, ‘Has he been called?’ Gabriel replied in the affirmative. Then it was said, ‘He is welcomed.
What an excellent visit his is!’ The gate was opened, and when I went over the third heaven, there I saw
Joseph. Gabriel said (to me), ‘This is Joseph; pay him your greetings.’ So I greeted him and he returned
the greetings to me and said, ‘You are welcomed, o pious brother and pious Prophet.’ Then Gabriel
ascended with me to the fourth heaven and asked for its gate to be opened. It was asked, ‘Who is it?’
Gabriel answered, ‘Gabriel’ It was asked, ‘Who is accompanying you?’ Gabriel replied, ‘Muhammad.’ It
was asked, ‘Has he been called?’ Gabriel replied in the affirmative. Then it was said, ‘He is welcomed.
What an excellent visit his is!’ The gate was opened, and when I went over the fourth heaven, there I
saw Idris. Gabriel said (to me), ‘This is Idris; pay him your greetings.’ So I greeted him and he returned
the greetings to me and said, ‘You are welcomed, o pious brother and pious Prophet.’ Then Gabriel
ascended with me to the fifth heaven and asked for its gate to be opened. It was asked, ‘Who is it?’
Gabriel answered, ‘Gabriel’ It was asked, ‘Who is accompanying you?’ Gabriel replied, ‘Muhammad.’ It
was asked, ‘Has he been called?’ Gabriel replied in the affirmative. Then it was said, ‘He is welcomed.
What an excellent visit his is!’ The gate was opened, and when I went over the fifth heaven, there I saw
Harun (i.e. Aron) Gabriel said (to me), ‘This is Aaron; pay him your greetings.’ So I greeted him and he
returned the greetings to me and said, ‘You are welcomed, o pious brother and pious Prophet.’ Then
Gabriel ascended with me to the sixth heaven and asked for its gate to be opened. It was asked, ‘Who is
it?’ Gabriel replied, ‘Gabriel’ It was asked, ‘Who is accompanying you?’ Gabriel replied, ‘Muhammad.’ It
was asked, ‘Has he been called?’ Gabriel replied in the affirmative. It was said, ‘He is welcomed. What an
excellent visit his is!’ The gate was opened, and when I went (over the sixth heaven), there I saw Moses.
Gabriel said (to me), ‘This is Moses; pay him your greetings.’ So I greeted him and he returned the
greetings to me and said, ‘You are welcomed, o pious brother and pious Prophet.’ When I left him (i.e.
Moses) he wept. Someone asked, ‘What makes you weep?’ Moses said, ‘I weep because after me there
has been sent (as Prophet) a young man whose followers will enter Paradise in greater numbers than my
followers.’ Then Gabriel ascended with me to the seventh heaven and asked for its gate to be opened. It
was asked, ‘Who is it?’ Gabriel replied, ‘Gabriel’ It was asked, ‘Who is accompanying you?’ Gabriel
replied, ‘Muhammad.’ It was asked, ‘Has he been called?’ Gabriel replied in the affirmative. It was said,
‘He is welcomed. What an excellent visit his is!’ So when I went (over the seventh heaven), there I saw
Abraham. Gabriel said (to me), ‘This is your father; pay him your greetings.’ So I greeted him and he
returned the greetings to me and said, ‘You are welcomed, o pious son and pious Prophet.’ Then I was
made to ascend to Sidrat-ul-Muntaha (i.e. the Lote Tree of the farthest limit). Behold! Its fruits were like
the jars of Hajr (i.e. a place near Medina) and its leaves were as big as the ears of elephants. Gabriel
said, ‘This is the Lote Tree of the farthest limit.’ Behold! There ran four rivers, two were hidden and two
were visible. I asked, ‘What are these two kinds of rivers, O Gabriel?’ He replied, ‘As for the hidden
rivers, they are two rivers in Paradise and the visible rivers are the Nile and the Euphrates.’ Then Al-Bait-
ul-Ma’mur (i.e.the Sacred House) was shown to me and a container full of wine and another full of milk
and a third full of honey were brought to me. I took the milk. Gabriel remarked, ‘This is the Islamic
religion which you and your followers are following.’ Then the prayers were enjoined on me: They were
fifty prayers a day. When I returned, I passed by Moses who asked (me), ‘What have you been ordered
to do?’ I replied, ‘I have been ordered to offer fifty prayers a day.’ Moses said, ‘Your followers cannot
bear fifty prayers a day, and by Allah, I have tested people before you, and I have tried my level best
with Bani Israil (in vain). Go back to your Lord and ask for reducing your followers’ burden.’ So I went
back, and Allah reduced ten prayers for me. Then again I came to Moses, but he repeated the same as
he had said before. Then again I went back to Allah and He reduced ten more prayers. When I came
back to Moses he said the same, I went back and Allah and He ordered me to observe ten prayers a day.
When I came back to Moses, he repeated the same advice, so I went back to Allah was ordered to
observe five prayers a day. When I came back to Moses, he said, ‘What have you been ordered?’ I
replied, ‘I have been ordered to observe five prayers a day.’ He said, ‘Your followers cannot bear five
prayers a day, and no doubt, I have got an experience of the people before you, and I have tried my level
best with Bani Israil, so go back to your Lord and ask for reducing your followers’ burden.’ I said, ‘I have
requested so much of my Lord that I feel ashamed, but I am satisfied now and surrender to Allah’s
order.’ When I left, I head a voice saying, ‘I have passed My Order and have reduced the burden of My
Worshippers.'” (Sahih Al-Bukhari Vol 5).

WOMEN IN ISLAM

391. Reported from Anas b. Malik, the Prophet said: “Girls are models of affection and sympathy and a

a half thousand good deeds for every Sajdah (of the Salaat). And, for the fasting person, Allah Ta’ala
creates in Jannat a mansion of red Ya’koot (a precious stone in Jannat). This mansion will have seven
thousand entrances. (So huge will these entrances be that in each entrance will be located) a palace of
gold adorned with red Ya’koot. When the Muslims fast the first day if Ramadhan, Allah Ta’ala forgives all
his sins committed from the first of the previous Ramadhan. Daily (i.e. during Ramadhan) from the time
of Fajr Salat until sunset, seventy thousand Malaaikah supplicate for his forgiveness. In return for every

(which will be of greater value and significance than the virtue which accrued to the one who had
listened to the recitation).” (Ahmad).

499. Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “On the Day of Qiyaamah the Qur’an will petition Allah to
cloak the one who had recited it with garments of honour and respect. A crown of honour will then be
placed on the head of the reciter. The Qur’an will then petition Allah Ta’ala to shower His pleasure on
the reciter. Allah will then become pleased with him. The reciter will then be asked to recite the Qur’an,
thereby attaining higher ranks of elevation. In reward for each aayat a virtue will accrue to him.”
(Tirmidhi, Ibn Khuzaimah).

500. Continue climbing (higher and higher in rank) with your recitation in the same way as you recited
with care and concern on earth. Your abode (of residing) is located (at that rank attained) with the last
aayat recited. (Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah, Ibn Habbaan).

PARADISE AND HELL

“Whoever does evil, he shall not be recompensed (with aught) but the like of it, and does good, male
and female, and is a believer, these shall enter the Garden, in which they shall be given sustenance
without measure.” Holy Qur’an (40:40)

“And (as for) those who reject Our signs and turn away from them haughtily – these are the inhabitants
of the Fire, they shall dwell there forever.” Holy Qur’an (7:36)

Be mentioned in the previous chapter the world of the hereafter…and we know that Allah, the Almighty,
will give life to the dead on Resurrection Day. Souls will return to their bodies and people will be judged
according to their deeds. Man’s existence in the Hereafter will be similar to his life in the present world.
He will eat, drink, be happy or sad, think of and remember things which he did in his previous life.
Paradise: Paradise is the dwelling place for the obedient believers of Allah in the Hereafter. Indeed, Allah
has described for us life in Paradise and says: Surely the Paradise which He created for His obedient
servants is as wide as the width of the heavens and the earth. In it there will be trees and fruits, of which
their abundance will not be curtailed; springs flowing with delicious liquids! such as nectar and ginger;
rivers flowing with pure sweet water, honey and milk; different kinds of foods and meats, which
mankind likes and enjoys. There will exist everything which the believers desire, including beautiful
sights and views that are a comforting to the hearts. Their dwellings will be beautiful: great palaces and
elegant mansions, furnished with exquisits! carpet with various decorations. There, the believers, with
their companions, will sit on comfortable chairs. In their meetings, they will exchange conversation with
each other, giving thanks and praise to Allah, the Almighty. They will be content with the blessings and
peace that Allah has bestowed upon them. Their clothes will made of luxurious green silk, and they will
have bracelets of gold and silver. Everything which exists in Paradise, including food, drink and palaces,
has no equal or likeness in our present world.

In Paradise, there will be neither summer heat nor winter coldness; neither is there day nor night. The
dwellers will not suffer from illness nor be hurt nor sad. There will be no enmity nor problems occuring
among the dwellers. Thus, they will live in happiness, love and bliss and be served by servants the like if
whom are not found on this earth. Therefore, the dwellers of Paradise will live in blissful peace as a
result of their righteous deeds and their sincerity to Allah, the Most High. Life in paradise will be
everlasting. Thus man never dies there nor is transferred to another world. Hell is the dwelling place for
the disobedient servants of Allah in the Hereafter. Verily, the justice of Allah, the Most Glorious, is that
He will treat every man according to his or her deeds. While the dwellers of Paradise have earned their
destiny as a result of their righteous deeds, the corrupted and disobedient have their recompense in
Hell where they will be imprisoned like a criminal jailed in this world. Some, such as disbelievers and
polytheists will remain there forever; others will remain for long periods those who believed in Allah but
disobeyed Him or committed crimes, or sins such as giving up praying. Allah, the Most Glorious,
describes the life in the Hereafter: Surely the dwellers of Hell will be tormented with unimaginable kinds
of punishment which cannot be described. There is no likeness of such torment and suffering in our
present world. They will be bound with long chains and cast into a blazing furnace, such fire cannot be
found in this world. This Fire will blaze forever, guarded by angels. The food of the inhabitants will be
made of zachum tree oil (a cursed tress growing in Hell’s lowest depths); their drink will be boiling
water; they will be forced to drink the filthy pus oozing from their bodies – the result of intense
punishment. There, such people will wish to die to cease their saying but find none to save them from
such punishment. Allah will keep them alive and suffering, and whoever their skins are burned away,
they will be replaced by another to be burned afresh. Surely, the dwellers of Hell will cry out from the
intense punishment but will find none to help. There is no escape and instead it will be said to them:
“Fie! you have no right to say a word”.

Guidelines for the treatment of Black Magic (sihir), Jinns (demons) and all evils

Guidelines for the treatment of Black Magic (sihir), Jinns (demons) and all evils

In The Name Of Allah, The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful. May complete Peace, Blessings and
Mercy of Allah be upon the Last Prophet of Islam, Prophet Muhammad (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam)
forever forever. Due to numerous questions on the same topic we have decided to summarize the steps
of complete treatment of any type of Black Magic (sihir) and Jinns (demons).

Treatment Guidelines and Instructions: The people or the family affected with black magic, jinns or any
evil should strictly follow these instructions…

Note: Steps 3, 5 and 6 are compulsory and should be practiced without fail for treatment against
blackmagic and jinns, all other steps are optional and highly recommended for best results.

1. General Information about black magic and Jinns and their symptoms
[https://islamicexorcism.wordpress.com/2009/11/04/simple-guide-for-islamic-exorcism/]

2. Every night play “Azaan of Medina and Surah Baqrah” [ http://www.mediafire.com/?

u827mrqtx55swlu ], take care that the recitations are loud enough to be heard in every room and the
same time take care not to disturb the neighbors. This can be played once or twice daily consistently
without any gaps for about 11 days, 21 days or 40 days depending of condition and effects of evil
influences. It’s not necessary for every one in the house to listen to the recitations, when the recitations
are on, they can carry on with their household works, however, take care that when recitations are on
do not turn on the TV or music system. These recitations will InshaAllah cleanse and purify the house for
all evil effects of blackmagic and jinns or any evil influences.

3. All the people affected with Blackmagic, jinn or any evil should consistently practice and follow the
instructions given in the following links, especially the simple body and house protection amals, this
should be done daily for about 40 days to about 6 months. If a person consistently practices this he will
always be in the protection and care of Allah and in this way, no magic, jinns or any magician will be able
to harm him. Women during their unclean period can practice and follow these instructions.
[https://islamicexorcism.wordpress.com/2010/09/21/strongest-protections-against-all-evil/] and

[https://islamicexorcism.wordpress.com/2010/10/23/how-to-protect-yourself-from-blackmagic-and-
jinns/]
4. To remove and expel the effects of black magic and jinns from the body of the effected person, every
night make wadhu and closing the eyes to attain full concentration, patiently listen to the Ruqyah
[http://www.mediafire.com/?nezymzowtwo]. This can be done once, twice or more every day
consistently for about 11 to 40 days or till the person becomes completely normal. For stronger cases is
preferable to do the salt water treatment, explained in the post
[https://islamicexorcism.wordpress.com/2010/03/21/easy-self-treatment-of-blackmagic-and-jinn-by-
listening-to-ruqyah/]. Women during their unclean period can listen to the Ruqyah after making wadhu.

5.The main amal for breaking blackmagic/sihir and expelling out jinns is either 5a and/or 5b.

5a.Simple Powerful amal for breaking any blackmagic and expelling any Jinn: This is a very powerful and
effective amal that involves reciting three verses of Quran and one name of Allah daily in the Night for
about 11 to 21 days in a row, to destroy all the evil affects of sihir, jinns, evil eyes and all kinds of evil.

requested you for help using these blessed verse, O Allah by the virtues and blessings contained in it
please cure me completely from all evil affects of your creation known and unkown to me(sihir, jinn, evil

11. Blow 3x with full force over the chest, then 3x into both the hands, and the wipe the hands over the
face, arms and body. Blow 3x with full force into few bottles of water and a bottle of vinegar.

12. Repeat this amal for 11 to 40 days in a row.

The recited water should be used for drinking daily atleast 3 glasses. Every night in one glass of recited
water add some rock or crystal salt and spray it all over your house, bed room, furniture, walls, ceiling
etc except bathroom. Every night mix some rock or crystal salt in recited vinegar and massage the body
and all places of pain with this mixture. After every 7 days of amal get one glass of recited water and few
spoon full of recited vinegar and mix them all and add some rock or crystal salt to this mixture and juice
extracted out of about 3 whole lime/lemon and this mixture should be used during bathing. During
bathing, after soaping and shampooing, this recited mixture of (recited water, recited vinegar, salt,
lime/lemon) should be massaged atleast 3 times all over the body from head to toe properly, after
massaging wash yourself with normal water. The bathing should be done for atlest 3 days after every 7
days of amal.

Note: If things don’t get better in few weeks of this amal, continue doing this amal for about 40 days to 3
months and in addition do any one amal listed in 5b.

5b.The affected person or any pious person on the behalf of the affected person should do any one amal
in the following post https://islamicexorcism.wordpress.com/2010/09/13/general-amal-for-treating-all-
kinds-of-sihir-and-jinns/ as per the given instructions on the post. The affected victim should use the
recited items as per the instructions given in the post. We have noticed many people forget to massage
their bodies with recited vinegar or olive oil and also forget to take bath with recited water, its is very
very essential that the affected victims use the recited items as per the instruction for drinking, spraying,
bathing, massaging..etc. The affected people as per their convenience can practice different amals for
the specified time as per the instructions. The woman during their unclean periods can use the recited
items.
6. The victims of black magic, jinns or any evil should recite the following as their “personal wazifa” – Ya
Shaafi Ya Kaafi Ya Baaqi, La HawLa WaLaa KhuWaTa ElLaaBilLaa Hil ‘Ali Yil Azeem, this should be recited
abundantly day and night without any limits, along with day to day activities and sitting, standing,
walking, travelling as much as possible every day for about 40 days. This should be recited with
intentions of complete and permanent cure as well as for protection from all magic, spells, jinns, all evil
and sickness. If the victim consistently recites this wazifa, it will suffice him for every thing and for every
need. We request our users to ponder over the meaning of this wazifa and use this wonderful and
powerful wazifa as much as possible for all purpose. The woman during their unclean periods can recite
this wazifa.

7. Its also highly recommended the all the victims should this small amal, every morning and evening
and every Friday after salaatul Jumah(before getting up from your place and before talking to any one),
the following should be recited with intentions of complete and permanent cure as well as for
protection from all magic, spells, jinns, all evil and sickness. The woman during their unclean periods can
recite this provided they recite the verses from their memory and after making wadhu considering them
as a dua and source of healing.

•Any darood 7x.

•Surah Al Faatiha 7x

•Ayatul Kursi 7x

•Surah Kaafiroon 7x

•Surah Iqlaas7x

•Surah Falaq 7x

•Surah Naas 7x

•Any Darood 7x.

•’Ameen ’Ameen ’Ameen. Ya Rabbil ‘A-Lameen.

•Take a deep breath each time and blow 3x over your chest and 3x over your hands and wipe them all
over your body from head to toe, one can also blow into the reited water and items of other amals and
use them for drinking, spraying, bathing and massaging.

8. Diet Guide: Below are few foods recommended during spiritual healing and its advisable to eat them
only after getting a proper confirmation from the medical doctor who is treating the victim.
•Pomegranate(For strength and cleansing the body from Jinns): Pomegranate juice is rich in Potassium,
folic acid, Vitamins and Antioxidants and its benefits with regards to satan / jinn are mentioned in this
following hadith in which Prophet[SA] has mentioned that “Pomegranate cleanses you of Satan and
from evil aspirations for 40 days”. Therefore, it’s highly recommended that during the treatment the
victim should drink juice extracted out of one whole pomegranate about 30 to 45 mins before breakfast
daily for about 7 to 12 days or at his convenience.

•Dates(For strength and protection against Blackmagic): Dates are very rich in proteins and vitamins and
from Quran we come to know that food for Hazrath Maryam[AS] during her pregnancy was dates and
from hadith we come to that our prophet[SA] recommended Hazrath Ayshiya[RA] dates when she was
suffering from giddiness. It is therefore advised that the physically weak patient should have dates to
strengthen his immune system and body. Based of the following hadith its recommended that the victim
eats 7[least] or more dates [preferably from City of Medina] once every morning and once every evening
as a cure and protection against Sihir- ‘Amir b. Sa’d b. Abu Waqqas reported Allah’s Messenger (may
peace be upon him) as saying: He who ate seven ‘Ajwa’[City of Medina] dates in the morning, poison
and magic will not harm him on that day[Muslim]. There are other narrations that also mention seven
dates[not necessary from Medina], so if dates from Medina are not available, any dates should be fine.

•Olive Oi[For treatment and cleansing the body from sickness]l: In the Quran, Allah himself says “I swear
by the fig and the olive” [95:1] this in itself is sufficient to proof the importance of Olive. Furthermore
the following hadith shows the benefits of Olive oil- Hazrath Abu Hurairah[RA] narrates that the
Prophet[SA] stated, “Eat the olive oil and apply it (locally), since there is cure for seventy diseases in it,
one of them is Leprosy.”[Abu Naim]. The victims should therefore take one sip of olive oil daily and a
massage some of the recited oil over his body.

•Melon(For strength and blessings): Melon are fat or cholesterol free rich source of vitamins A, B6,C,
fibre, potassium, antioxidants and lycopene. Prophet[SA] has recommended melon for [weak] women
during pregnancy and the following hadith shows that it not only has physical benefits but also several
spiritual benefits- (1) Prophet[SA] said “None of your women who are pregnant and eat of watermelon
will fail to produce offspring who are good in countenance and good in character”. (2) Prophet[SA] said
“Whenever you eat fruit, eat melon, because it is the fruit of Paradise and contains a 1000 blessings and
a 1000 mercies. The eating of it cures every disease.”. Its therefore advisable for the weak patient to eat
melon’s with the intention of “Strengthening himself, receiving blessing and mercies from Allah.”

•Blessings of Zam Zam : 1. ‘Aa’ishah(R.A.) reported that she took Zamzam water home with her in
bottles, and said, “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) took some of it
away with him, and he used to pour it on the sick and give it to them to drink.” (Tirmidhi)

2. The Messenger of Allah, salallahu alayhe wa sallam has said:” The most sublime of all earthly waters is
that of zamzam; therein one finds food for the hungry and medicne for the ill.” [Tabarani ]

3. The Messenger of Allah, salallahu alayhe wa sallam has said:”Zamzam water is what one intends to
drink it for. When one drinks it to be healed, Allah heals him; when one drinks it to be full, Allah makes
him full; and when one drinks it to quench his thrist, Allah quenches it. ” [ Ahmad, and Ibn Majah]
9. Easy way of Diagnosis of sihir (blackmagic) , jinns and evil eye: This amal should be done by the victim
himself every night for about 3 nights in row without any gaps till the signs and symptoms explained
below are visible. We recommend this amal to be done just before sleeping and after the amal avoid
talking and keep reciting -Ya Fattaahu, this you fall asleep, inshaallah, by this you will get guidance on
your condition through some dreams.

•Make wadhu and sit on the prayer-mat facing Qibla

•Auzubillaah hi Mi-nash ShYataan Ir-rajeem BisMillaah Ir-Rah-maan Ir-Ra-heem -3x

•La Elaaha illal laahu Mohammadur Rasool-ul-laah Sallallaahu `Alayhi wa Sallam Astagfirullaaha Wa
atubuelay–100x

•3rd and 4th Kalimah 10x each

•Offer 2 units of Salaatul Hajaat with intentions of seeking help and guidance from Allah SWT to
diagnosis the sickness

•Take a tasbih or counter in the hand and start reciting Allah’s name “Ya Fattaahu” with full humility like
one in begging and calling Allah for help. One needs to completely understand the meaning of “Ya
Fattaahu” before doing this amal.

•While reciting “Ya Fattaahu” between the counts of 100 and 500, note the reactions..

•“Extreme drowsiness or sleep”: This indicates the influence of sihir or black magic.

•“Excessive Yawning (opening the mouth involuntarily)”: This indicates the influence of Evil Eye.

•“Sweating or Tightness or suffocation”: This indicates the influence of evil Jinns in the body.

10.Neutralize and Destroy any magical amulets, taweez or strings/thread or any magical items

Magical amulets usually have jinns tied to them, if they are found and destroyed the effects of the Sihir
will fade away InshaAllah. If the victim finds or has any magical amulets in his body or houses, he should
destroy it by following the steps below:

•Get some water or kitchen vinegar.

•Recite – these verses -51x [https://islamicexorcism.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/powerful-verses-of-

quran-against-jinn-and-sihir.png]

• (OR) recite – Ya Mumeetu -501x

•Reciting Ya Salaamu[O Giver of Peace] continuously, pour some recited water/vinegar over the place
from where the amulet was retrieved.

•Reciting Ya Salaamu[O Giver of Peace] continuously, dismantle the amulet completely i.e cut it or break
it, to separate the casing from the writing or script or incantations written on paper or cloth or leather of
the amulet.

•Submerge, all the pieces of the amulet completely into the recited water/vinegar and place some
heavy stone over it so that it gets submerged properly.

•Leave it for over 24 hours submerged, preferably outside the premises of the victim’s house.

•Dump the casing into garbage and check if writing/scipt is visible, dry it slightly and then burn it before
dumping it into river, or sea or burying it somewhere in the ground outside the house[burning is to
prevent disrespect of any quranic verses if present on the amulet].

InshaAllah, this will neutralize and release the tied Jinn’s from the amulet and the magic will be broken.

11. Easy Way of Finding out the Hidden Sihir Items / magical items:

Before going to bed in the night make wadhu with full concentration and offer 2 + 2 units of nafl Salaat
(total of 4 units of salaat) with intentions of seeking Allah’s help and guidance in finding out sihir items.
While offering this salaat it’s preferable to recite Surah Kawsar 3 times in every rakaat/unit. After
offering this Salaat sitting on the prayer mat recite the following

• ‘Aoozubillaahi Mi-nash ShYataan Ir-rajeem BisMillaah Ir-Rah-maan Ir-Ra-heem -3x

• ‘Astaghfirullaaha Rabbi, La Elaaha illal laahu Mohammadur Rasool-ul-laah Sallallaahu `Alayhi wa Sallam
-10x

• Subhaanal-laahi Walhamdu-Lillaahi, wa laa ilaa-ha ill-lal-laahu wallahu Akbar -10x

• Any Darood -easy one – ALLAH humma Sali’ala Muhammad Sallallaahu `Alayhi wa Sallam -11x

• Surah Fatiha 7x[every time when you come to the verse ‘Ihdinas sirataal mustaqeem’ recite it 7x and
then complete surah fatiha and say Ameen in the end], Surah Iqlaas 3x

• Ya ‘Aleemo Al-lim-ni, Ya Khabeero Akh-bir-ni -101x [Meaning: O the One who is all Knowledgeable,
give me knowledge, O the One who is all Aware, Inform me]
https://islamicexorcism.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/short-dua-for-istakaarahguidance.jpg

• Raise your hands and recite the following dua: “O Allah, It’s you alone do we worship and you alone do
we call for help, O Allah, You alone are all Knowledgeable and all aware and You alone possess the
knowledge of unseen, therefore, through Your power, might and knowledge, show me the hide outs of
all sihir items used against me and O Allah, please guide me and help me to destroy them so that truth
prevails over falsehood.”-7x

• Any Darood -easy one – ALLAH humma Sali’ala Muhammad Sallallaahu `Alayhi wa Sallam -11x

• Blow over yourself 3x and into some rose water or non-alcoholic perfume. After this amal don’t talk to
any one but directly go to sleep following the sunnah of sleeping and keep reciting darood till you fall
asleep, you should also apply traces of the recited attar over your clothes before sleeping.

Note: This amal may have to be recited every night till one gets guidance from Allah, inshaallah, in a few
days one will get to know the hideout of the sihir items. Just my changing the intention and dua,
inshallah, this amal could also be used to find any hidden secrets.

12. Very Powerful Amal for Breaking any Magic and expelling any Jinn Using Musk and Sandalwood:

This amal is extremly powerful bi iznillaah and can be used when victim has tried out many different
healers/amals with no benefits or when sihir is very old and very strong.

The main ingredients required for this amal is 1 gram of Pure and natural Musk and 250 gram of pure
sandalwood powder.These items should be 100% pure and natural. Artifical or man made will not have
good affects, one needs to buy them from some reliable person, but just remember many end up buy
artifical ones, so be carefull when you purchase them.

Divide the sandalwood powder into 5 equal parts and put them into 5 metallic cases with lids, these
cases should be air tight. Likewise the musk should be stored in an air tight container or any air tight
plastic, these should be opened only during blowing after the amal and should be sealed again. The
other items would be the usual list like – can full of drinking water, olive oil or apple cedar vinegar…etc

This amal would be a 7 night amal. 3 days prior to the amal and during the 7 nights of the amal the
peson doing it needs to keep reciting “Astaghfirullaaha Rabbi, La Elaaha illal laahu Mohammadur Rasool-
ul-laah Sallallaahu `Alayhi wa Sallam” day and night, at all times along with work, during free time, while
cooking, traveling..etc as much as possible, this will add power to your dua’s and amals inshaallah.

Before starting this amal one needs to completely understand the correct pronunciation, meaning and
tafsir of the verses of Quran being used in the amal. We would recommend that this amal be done at
the time of tahajjud. On the first night of the amal before you go to sleep during the night offer salaatul
tasbi once and sincerely repent and ask for forgiveness from Allah. Once you wake up during the
tahajjud time and every night before doing this amal, offer 2 units of salaatul tawbah, 2+2 units of
Salaatul Tahajjud and 2 units of salaatul Hajaat, and then begin this amal..

sandalwood container should be heated in the light of the candle(or lamp) for about 5 mins to 10 mins,
the container lid should never be opened during this process, slightly shake the container so that its
contents are mixed.

Bathing: Once the recited mixture is ready to use, every night preferably after salaatul Majrib, bath with
one container of mixture of sandlewood and musk for the next 5 nights without any gaps. Before
bathing and after bathing one needs to make complete wadhu/ablution, during bathing get a bowl and
open the contents of one of the containers of sandlewood and musk in the bowl and add some recited
water to make a semi liquid mixture, make sure the mixture is mixed well, now after soaping or
shampooing, after your body is clean from all soap /sampoo and dirt, massage the recited mixture all
over your body from head to toe wihout leaving out any area, remember to massage the mixture all
over you body properly, once this is done pour water over your body, make wadhu and your bathing is
done.

Special instructions:

1. Victims who are too weak and cannot do the amal themselves should ask any pious relative or friend
to do the amals on their behalf and then use the recited items. Apart from this the weak victims should
try to follow and practice the instructions given on this post according to their strength and capacity.

2. For emergency cases where the victims is very sick, one or more pious people can get togethere and
recited surh Yaseen – 62x as per the institutions mention in “Amal For Cases of Emergency against Jinn
and Sihir” explained at the end of the post [https://islamicexorcism.wordpress.com/2009/11/04/simple-
guide-for-islamic-exorcism/]

3. Its observed that for strong cases of magic and jinns, during the initial stages of treatment the
conditions of the victims will get worst and will show several negative reactions, however, with
continued treatment, the conditions will change in few days to weeks.
4. How do we know that we are cured ? When the strange symptoms, pain and sickness..etc begins to
disappear, when the victim is having peaceful sleep and can recite quran and offer salaat without
difficulty, and all his difficulties are being removed and he feels peace, happiness and is at comfort, it
means that alhamdurillah, the affected of blackmagic and jinns have been destroyed.

5. If a person has been doing several amal’s and dua’s and yet the amals don’t seem to have any effect
on the blackmagic or jinns, then firstly, the person doing the amals or the victims should check if there
are any barriers that are blocking their dua’s/ amals such as usage of unlawful items, involvement in un-
islamic practices and bidah, having paintings/pictures/statues of people/animal, disrespect to parents,
elders and scholars..etc, if there is slight indication of such things one will have to sincerely repent
before Allah and preferably offer Salatul Tasbih and beg for forgiveness. Its also observed that the victim
at times don’t follow instructions correctly, it is very essential to use the recited items for drinking,
massaging, bathing and spraying, all these things are very essential and necessary for the treatment.
Also the person doing the amals should recite ‘Astaghfirullaaha Rabbi, La Elaaha illal laahu
Mohammadur Rasool-ul-laah Sallallaahu `Alayhi wa Sallam, about 500x before the amal as this wazifa
will inshaallah, provide all the spiritual power and strength one needs to make his dua/amal acceptable
in the sight of Allah, alternatively, the person doing the amal may also offer salaatul Hajaat before the
amal or spend few nights offering salaatul Tahajjud or fast for a couple of days,these practices will add
power to the amal’s inshaallah. And lastly, even after this if things are not improving, one needs to find a
pious person/relative/neighbor to do the amal on the behalf of the victim, the person could be any
pious person who is following the sunnah and having correct beliefs or who has returned from Hajj or
Umrah or 40 days Jamath or who is in Bayath to a sheikh and is strictly adhering to his spiritual exercises
or who spends some time in tahajjud.

6. Apart from doing other amals, this amal can also be done and will InshaAllah be very beneficial in
completely removing the evil influences of sihir and jinns or any sickness …

cloth and tie a knot on the free ends of the cloth so that lime doesn’t fall off the cloth. One can also blow
3x into a glass of water.

•Ask the victim to make wadhu and stand straight in some clean place. Another person reciting “Ya
Shaafi” continuously should sweep the clothed lime vertically from head to toe of the victim 3x times,
while sweeping also imagine all the pain and sickness is being absorbed into the recited lime. The
sweeping of the recited lime should be done 3x on the front side from head to toe and 3x on the back
side from head to toe. The sweeping can also be done for a bed ridden person, if the person fails to
standup, the lime should be swept from head to toe while the victim is resting on the bed.

•This lime should be thrown in some far of place like rivers, sea, or can be buried into ground or can be
disposed in places where people do not walk.

•Every time while doing the amal a fresh lime should be used, the already used lime should be disposed
after sweeping it over the body.

•Give the victim the glass of recited water for drinking.

•This amal should be done for about 3x to 7 x days continuously and if necessary can be repeated after a
couple of days or weeks.

•InshaAllah, by doing this all the evil influences and sickness of the victim will be absorbed by the recited
lime and will leave the victims body.

Virtues and Benefits of Zikar / Dhikr ( Remembrance of Allah )

Virtues and Benefits of Zikar / Dhikr ( Remembrance of Allah )

Extracted from: The Chapter on Zikar / Dhikr

from at-Targhib wa at-Tarhib

by Ibn Hajar al-‘Asqalani

1. Encouragement to remember Allah often, secretly and openly, and to presevere in it; what is reported
about someone who does not remember Allah often

1. Abu Huryara reported that the Messenger of Allah said, “Allah Almighty says, ‘I am in My slave’s
opinion of Me and I am with Him when He remembers Me. When he remembers Me in himself, I
mention him in Myself. If he mentions Me in an assembly, I mention him in a better assembly than
them.’ If he comes near Me by a handspan, I come near him a cubit. If he comes near Me by a cubit, I
come near a fathom. When he comes to walking, I come to him running.”

(Muslim and al-Bukhari, Ahmad has at the end of it, Qatada said, “Allah is quicker to forgive.”)

2. ‘Abdullah ibn Busr reported a man said, “Messenger of Allah, the laws of Islam are too much for me.
Tell me something I can cling to.” He said, “Your tongue should remain moist with the remembrance of
Allah.” (at-Tirmidhi)

3. Abu’d-Darda’ reported that the Messenger of Allah said, “Shall I inform you of the best of your actions
and the purest of your property and the highest of your degrees and what is better for you than
spending gold and silver and better for you than encountering the enemy and striking their necks and
their striking your necks?” They said, “Yes, indeed!” He said, “Remembrance of Allah Almighty.”
MuÔadh ibn Jabal said, “There is nothing which saves from the punishment of Allah more than
remembrance of Allah.” (Ahmad, Ibn Abi’d-Dunya, at-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah)

4. Abu Sa’id al-Khudri reported that the Messenger of Allah said, “Do a lot of remembrance of Allah until
they say, ‘He is mad.'” (Ahmad, Abu Ya’la and Ibn Hibban)

5. Abu Musa reported that the Messenger of Allah said, “If one man has some dirhams in his possession
which he divides and another remembers Allah, the one who remembers Allah is better.” One variant
has, “There is no sadaqa better than remembrance of Allah.” (at-Tabarani)

6. Umm Anas reported that she said, “Messenger of Allah, command me.” He said, “Avoid acts of
disobedience: that is the best jihad. Do a lot of invoking Allah. You do not bring Allah anything he loves
more than a lot of remembrance.” (at-Tabarani. In one variant, “Remember Allah a lot. It is the action
which Allah loves most to reveive.” At-Tabarani notes that Umm Anas is not the mother of Anas ibn
Malik.)

2. Encouraging attending gatherings of dhikr and meeting together to remember Allah

7. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah said, “Allah Almighty has angels who travel the
highways and by-ways seeking out the people of dhikr. When they find people remembering Allah, the
Mighty and Majestic, they call out to one another, ‘Come to what you hunger for!’ and they enfold them
with their wings stretching up to the lowest heaven. Their Lord – who knows them better – asks them,
‘What are My slaves saying?’ They say, ‘They are glorifying You, proclaiming Your greatness, praising You
and magnifying You.’ He says, ‘Have they seen Me?’ They say, ‘No, by Allah, they have not seen You.’ He
says, ‘How would it be if they were to see Me?’ [extra ‘He said’s deleted] They say, ‘If they were to see
You, they would worship You even more intensely and magnify You even more intensely and glorify You
even more intensely.’ He says, ‘What are they asking Me for?’They say, ‘They are asking You for the
Garden.’ He says, ‘Have they seen it?’ They say, ‘No, by Allah, they have not seen it.'” He says, ‘How
would it be if they were to see it?’ They say, ‘If they were to see it, they would yearn for it even more
strongly and seek it even more assiduously and would have an even greater desire for it.’ He says, ‘What
are they seeking refuge from?’ ‘They are seeking refuge from the Fire.’ He says, ‘Have they seen it?’ He
says, ‘How would it be if they were to see it?’ They say, ‘If they were to see it, they would flee from it
even harder and have an even greater fear of it.’ He says, ‘I testify to you that I have forgiven them.’ One
of angels says, ‘Among them is so-and-so who is not one of them. He came to get something he needed.’
He says, ‘They are sitting and the one sitting with them will not be wretched.'” (al-Bukhari)

8. ÔAbdullah ibn ‘Umar reported: “I asked, ‘Messenger of Allah, what is the booty of the assemblies of
dhikr?’ He replied, ‘The booty of the asemblies of dhikr is the Garden.'” (Ahmad)

9. Anas ibn Malik reported that the Messenger of Allah said, “When you come upon the meadows of the
Garden, graze in them.” He was asked, “What are the meadows of the Garden?” “Circles of dhikr.” he
replied. (at-Tirmidhi)

10. ‘Amr ibn ÔAbasa said, “I heard the Messenger of Allah say about the right hand of the All-Merciful,
‘Both His hands are right hands. There are men who are not Prophets or martyrs the whiteness of whose
faces overpowers the sight of those who look. The Prophets and martyrs envy their seat and proximity
to Allah Almighty.’ He was asked, ‘Messenger of Allah, who are they?’ He replied, ‘A mixture of isolated
people from the tribes who meet to remember Allah and select the best words as someone who eats
dates selects the best ones.'” (at-Tabarani)
3. Warning against sitting where Allah is not mentioned nor the prayer said on His Prophet

11. Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet said, “Whenever people sit in a place where they do not
mention Allah or bless their Prophet, loss descends on them. If He wishes, He will punish them. If He
wishes, He will forgive them.” (Abu Dawud and at-Tirmidhi)

4. Encouraging words which expiate the hubbub of the assembly

12. Rafi’ ibn Khadij reported that when his Companions met with him, at the end of it when the
Messenger of Allah wanted to get up, he said, “Glory be to You, O Allah, and by Your praise. I testify that
there is no god but Allah. I ask forgiveness of You and repent to You. I have acted badly and have
wronged myself, so forgive me. Only You forgive wrong actions.” They said, “Messenger of Allah, are
these words which you originated?” “Yes,” he replied, “Jibra’il came to me and said, “O Muhammad,
they are the expiations of the gathering.” (an-Nasa’i)

13. ÔAbdullah ibn ÔAmr ibn al-ÔAs said that he said, “There are certain words which someone can say in
a gathering devoted to good or a gathering of dhikr by which Allah will seal the gathering as the page is
sealed with a seal. They are: ‘Glory be to You, O Allah, and with Your praise. There is no god but You. I
ask You for forgiveness and turn to You.'” (Abu Dawud and Ibn Hibban

5. Encouraging saying “la ilaha illa’llah” and its excellence

14. Abu Hurayra said, “I asked, ‘Messenger of Allah, who will be the person happiest with your
intercession on the Day of Rising?’ The Messenger of Allah replied, ‘I think that none would ask about
this before you since I know your eagerness for hadith [learning]. The person happiest with my
intercession on the Day of Rising will be the one who says: “There is no god but Allah” sincerely from his
heart.'” (al-Bukhari)

15. Jabir reported that the Prophet said, “The best dhikr is ‘La ilaha illa’llah,’ and the best supplication is
‘al-hamdu lillah‘.” (an-Nasa’i and Ibn Majah)

16. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah said, “Do a lot of the shahada, testifying that
there is no god but Allah before there comes a barrier between you and it.” (Abu Ya’la)
17. He reported that the Messenger of Allah said, “Renew your faith.” He was asked, “Messenger of
Allah, how do we renew our faith?” He replied, “Say often: ‘There is no god but Allah.'” (Ahmad and at-
Tabarani)

18. ÔAmr said, “I heard the Messenger of Allah say, “I know some words which, if a person says it truly
from his heart and dies on that, he will be unlawful to the Fire: ‘There is no god but Allah’.” (al-Hakim)

Encouraging saying “There is no god but Allah alone with no partner”

19. Abu Ayyub reported that the Messenger of Allah said, “Anyone who says, ‘There is no god but Allah
alone with no partner. His is the kingdom and His is the praise. He has power over everything’ ten times,
it is as if he had set free four slaves of the descendants of Isma’il.” (Agreed upon)

20. Ya’qub ibn ÔAsim reported that two of the Companions of the Prophet heard the Prophet say, “No
one at all says “There is no god but Allah alone with no partner. The kingdom and praise belong to Him
and He has power over everything” sincerely with his soul, affirming it with his heart, articulating it with
his tongue but that Allah splits open the heaven so that He can look at the one on the earth who says it,
and it is a right of the slave at whom Allah looks that He grant him his request.” (an-Nasa’i)

6. Encouraging glorification, takbir, the shahada, and praise in its various forms

21. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah said, “Two words are light on the tongue, heavy
in the balance, beloved to the Merciful: ‘Glory be to Allah and by His praise. Glory be to Allah, the
Immense.'” (Agreed upon)

22. Abu Umama reported that the Messenger of Allah said, “Whoever dreads to endure the night, or is
miserly about spending money, or is too cowardly to fight the enemy should say often: ‘Glory be to Allah
and with His praise.’ It is more beloved to Allah than a mountain of gold spent in the Way of Allah.” (at-
Tabarani)

23. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah said, “Anyone who says, ‘Glory be to Allah and
with His praise’ a hundred times a day will have his sins fall away, even if they are like the froth of the
sea.” (Muslim and at-Tirmidhi)
24. Mus’ab ibn SaÔd (ibn Abi Waqqas) said that his father said, “We were with the Messenger of Allah
when he asked, ‘Are any of you able to earn a thousand good deeds every day?’ One of those who was
sitting there asked him, ‘How can someone earn a thousand good deeds?’ He said, ‘Glorifying a hundred
times is written as a thousand good deeds or a thousand errors fall away from him.'” (Muslim and an-
Nasa’i)

25. Samura ibn Jundub reported that the Messenger of Allah said, “The dearest of words to Allah are
four: ‘Glory be to Allah; Praise be to Allah; There is no god but Allah; and Allah is greater.’ It does not
matter whichever of them you say first.”(Muslim and an-Nasa’i, He added, “They are part of the
Qur’an.”.)

26. Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet passed by him when he was planting a seedling and he
asked, “Abu Hurayra, what is that which you are planting?” He said, “Seedlings.” He said, “Shall I not
direct you to a seedling better than this? ‘Glory be to Allah. Praise be to Allah. Allah is greater, and there
is no god but Allah.’ Each word of them will plant a tree for you in the Garden.” (Ibn Majah)

27. Umm Hani’ said, “The Messenger of Allah passed by me one day and I said, ‘Messenger of Allah, I am
old and weak, so command me something I can do sitting.’ He said, ‘Say “Glory be to Allah” a hundred
times: it is equal to a hundred slaves of the descendants of IsmaÔil you set free. Say “Praise be to Allah”
a hundred times: it is equal to a hundred horses saddled and bridled and ridden in the Way of Allah. Say
“Allah is greater” a hundred times: it is equal to a hundred camels garlanded and facing qibla. Say “There
is no god but Allah” a hundred times. (I think he said) It fills up what is between heaven and earth. On
that day no one will have a better action presented that which will be presented for you unless he brings
the like of what you bring.'” (Ahmad, at-Tabarani and al-Bayhaqi)

28. Abu Dharr reported that some of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah *said, “Messenger of
Allah, the wealthy have appropriated the rewards. They pray as we pray and they fast as we fast, but
they give sadaqa since they have more wealth.”He said, “Did not Allah give you that which you can give
as sadaqa? Every glorification is sadaqa. Every takbir is sadaqa. Every praise is sadaqa. Every ‘la ilaha
illa’llah‘ is sadaqa. Commanding the right is sadaqa. Forbidding the wrong is sadaqa.” (Muslim and Ibn
Majah)

29. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah said, “Take your protection.”They asked,
“Messenger of Allah, from an enemy present?” He replied, “No, but your protection against the Fire.
Say: ‘Glory be to Allah. There is no god but Allah, and Allah is greater.’ They will come on the Day of
Rising in front and behind you. They are lasting righteous ones.” (an-Nasa’i and al-Bayhaqi. At-Tabarani
has it in al-Awsat and adds, “There is no strength or power except by Allah.”)

30. ÔAbdullah ibn MasÔud said, “Anyone who is tight-fisted about giving money, fears the struggle
against the enemy and is wearied by the night should often say, “There is no god but Allah. Allah is
greater. Praise be to Allah and glory be to Allah.'” (At-Tabarani)

31. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah said, “Any words which do not with praise are
mutilated.” (Abu Dawud, an-Nasa’i, and Ibn Majah)

7. Encouraging saying, “Glory be to Allah,” “Praise be to Allah”, “There is no god but Allah” and “Allah is
greater” in mosques

32. Umm al-Mu’minin Juwayriyya bint al-Harith reported that the Prophet left her and then he returned
after the sun was well risen and she was still sitting there. He said, “You are still in the state you were
when I left you?” She said, “Yes.” The Prophet said, “I said four words three times after I left you. If they
were to be weighed against everything you have recited today they would outweigh it: ‘Glory be to Allah
and by His praise in number as great as His creation and His own pleasure, the weight of His Throne and
the ink of His words.'”(Muslim and the Four)

33. ‘A’isha bint SaÔd ibn Abi Waqqas related from her father that, together with the Messenger of Allah,
he visited a woman and in front of her were some date-stones – or pebbles – which she was using to
glorify Allah. He said, ‘Shall I inform you what is easier for you than this – or better?’ He said, ‘Glory be to
Allah by the number of things He has created in the heaven and glory be to Allah by the number of
things He has created in the earth and glory be to Allah by the number of things in between them and
glory be to Allah by the number of things He has created. Then say, “Allah is greater” in the same way
and “Praise be to Allah” in the same way, and “There is no god but Allah” in the same way and “There is
no power nor strength except by Allah” in the same way.'” (Abu Dawud and at-Tirmidhi)

8. Encouraging saying “There is no power nor strength except by Allah”

34. Abu Musa said that the Prophet said, “Say: ‘There is no power nor strength except by Allah.’ It is one
of the treasures of the Garden.” (Agreed upon, and in the transmission of an-Nasa’i: “Whoever says
‘There is no strength nor power except by Allah’, it is the cure for ninety-nine illnesses, the least of
which is worry.”)
9. Encouraging the dhikrs which are said in the morning and the evening

35. Mu’adh ibn ÔAbdullah ibn Khubayb reported that his father said, “We went out on a very dark and
rainy night looking for the Messenger of Allah to lead us in the prayer. We found him and he said,
‘Speak.’ I did not say anything,.’ Then he said, ‘Say,’ and I did not say anything. Then he said, ‘Say,’ and I
said, ‘Messenger of Allah, what shall I say?’ He said, ‘Recite, “Say: He is God, One,” and the suras of
seeking refuge in the evening and the morning three times, it will be enough to protect you in respect of
everything.'” (Abu Dawud, at-Tirmidhi, and an-Nasa’i)

36. Shaddad ibn Aws reported that the Prophet said, “The best way to ask forgiveness is to say, ‘O Allah,
You are my Lord. There is no god but You. You created me and I am Your slave. I comply with Your
covenant and Your promise as much as I can. I seek refuge with you from the evil of what I have done. I
acknowledge my sin, so forgive me. Only You can forgive sins.’ Anyone who says it during the night
having confidence in it and dies before morning will enter the Garden. Anyone who says this during the
day having confidence in it and dies on that day before evening will enter the Garden. ”

(Al-Bukhari, an-Nasa’i and at-Tirmidhi who has: “No one says it in the evening and then the decree
comes to him before morning but that the Garden is mandatory for him. He does not say it in the
morning and then the decree comes to him before evening but that the Garden is mandatory for him.”)

37. Abu Hurayra said, “A man came to the Prophet and said, ‘Messenger of Allah, what agony I suffered
last night from a scorpion which stung me yesterday!’ He said, ‘If you had said in the evening, “I seek
refuge with the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He has created,” it would not have harmed
you.”(Muslim and the four;)

38. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah said, “On the Day of Rising no one will bring
anything better than someone who says in the morning and evening, ‘Glory be to Allah and by His
praise’ a hundred times except someone who says the same as he says or more.”

(Muslim, the people of the three Sunans, and Ibn Abi’d-Dunya. In Abu Dawud, “Glory be to Allah the
Immense.” Al-Hakim said “Anyone who says in the morning ‘Glory be to Allah and by His praise,’ a
hundred times, and a hundred times in the evening, his sins will be forgiven even if they more than the
forth of the sea.”)
39. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah said,”Anyone who says, ‘There is no god but Allah
alone with no partner. His is the kingdom and His is the praise, and He has power over everything’ a
hundred times a day has the same reward as if he had freed ten slaves, and a hundred good deeds are
written for him and a hundred bad deeds are effaced from him and he has protection from Shaytan on
that day until evening. No one will do anything better than he does except a man who does it more than
he did.” (Agreed upon)

40. Aban ibn ‘Uthman said that he heard ‘Uthman ibn ‘Affan say that the Messenger of Allah said, “No
slave of Allah says in the morning every day and the evening every night, ‘In the name of Allah by whose
name nothing in the earth or the heaven can be harmed. He is the Hearing, the Knowing,’ three times
without that ensuring that nothing will harm him.” Aban suffered from a stroke which left him semi-
paralysed on one side. He was asked about it and said, “I did not say it that day so that Allah could carry
out His decree.” (The four)

41. Abu’d-Darda’ said, “If anyone says in the morning and evening, ‘Allah is enough for me. There is no
god but Him. I have relied on Him and He is the Lord of the Immense Throne’ seven times, Allah will
spare him what worries him (whether he is truthful or lying).” (Abu Dawud)

42. Anas ibn Malik reported that the Messenger of Allah said, “If anyone says in the morning or the
evening, ‘O Allah, I testify to You and I testify to the bearers of Your throne, Your angels and all Your
creation that You are Allah and there is no god but You and Muhammad is Your slave and Messenger,’
Allah will free a quarter of him from the fire. If anyone says it twice, Allah will free half of him from the
Fire. If anyone says it three times, Allah will free three-quarters of him from the Fire. If anyone says it
four times, Allah will free all of him from the Fire.'”

43. Al-Mundhir, the Companion of the Messenger of Allah, said when he was in North Africa, “I heard
the Messenger of Allah say, ‘If anyone says in the morning “I am pleased with with Allah as a Lord, Islam
with a deen and Muhammad as a Prophet” I am the leader who will take his hand to admit him to the
Garden.”‘” (at-Tabarani)

44. ‘Abdullah ibn Ghannam al-Bayadi reported that the Messenger of Allah said, “If anyone says in the
morning, ‘O Allah, whatever blessing comes to me or any of Your creation in the morning is from You
alone with no partner; praise is Yours and thanks is to You’ has fulfilled the thankfulness due for the day.
If he says the like of that in the evening, he has fulfilled the thankfulness due for the night. ” (Abu
Dawud and an-Nasa’i)

45. Ibn ‘Umar said, “The Messenger of Allah did not omit these words in the evening and morning: ‘O
Allah, I ask You for pardon and well-being in this world and the Next. O Allah, I ask You for pardon and
well-being in my deen and this world, my family and my property. O Allah, veil my defects and protect
me from what I fear. O Allah, preserve me in front of me and behind me, to my right and to my left, and
above me. I seek refuge with Your might from unexpected harm from under me.” (Abu Dawud, an-
Nasa’i and Ibn Majah)

46. Anas ibn Malik reported that the Messenger of Allah said to Fatima, “What will prevent you from
listening to my advice to you? You should say in the morning and evening: ‘O Living, O Self-Sustaining, I
seek help by Your mercy. Put all my affairs in order for me. Do not entrust me to myself for the blink of
an eye.'” (an-Nasa’i)

47. Al-Hasan stated that Samura ibn Jundub said, “Shall I inform you of a hadith which I heard from the
Messenger of Allah several times, and from Abu Bakr several times and from ÔUmar several times?”
“Yes,” was the reply. He said, “If anyone says in the morning and the evening, ‘O Allah, You created me
and You guide me; You give me food and drink; You make me die and give me life,’ he will not ask for
anything but that He will give it to him.” He said, “I met ÔAbdullah ibn Salam and said, ‘Shall I inform you
of a hadith which I heard from the Messenger of Allah several times, and from Abu Bakr several times
and from ÔUmar several times?’ He said, ‘Yes,’ and recounted this hadith. He said, ‘By my mother and
father, the Messenger of Allah said those words. Allah Almighty gave them to Musa, peace be upon him
and he used to pray with them seven times every day, and he never asked Allah for something but that
Allah gave it to him.” (At-Tabarani)

48. Abu’d-Darda’ reported that the Messenger of Allah said, “Anyone who says the prayer on me ten
times in the morning and ten times in the evening will obtain my intercession on the Day of Rising,”

(At-Tabarani with two isnads, one of which is excellent)

49. Zayd ibn Thabit reported that the Messenger of Allah taught him a supplication and commanded him
to promise to do it and that his family should do it every day. He said: “He should say in the morning, ‘O
Allah, at Your service. Good is in Your hand and from You to You. O Allah, whatever word I say, oath I
make or vow I make, You will is before it, What You wish will be and what you do not wish will not be.
There is no power or strength except by You. You have power over everything. O Allah, whatever prayer
I pray is for the on whom I pray and whatever curse I make is against the one I curse. You are my
Protector in this world and the Next. Make me die a Muslim and join me to the righteous. O Allah, I ask
you for pleasure with the Decree, pleasant life after death, the pleasure of looking at Your face, and
yearning to meet You without harmful distress or misleading sedition. I seek refuge with You, O Allah,
lest I wrong or be wronged, or transgress or be transgressed against, or acquire a wrong action or a sin
which is not forgiven, O Allah, Creator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the Unseen and the
Visible, O Master of Majesty and Generosity, I entrust to You in this life and I call on You to testify. Allah
is enough of a witness. I testify that there is no god but You alone with no partner. Yours is the kingdom
and praise is Yours. You have power over everything. I testify that Muhammad is Your slave and
Messenger. I testify that Your promise is true, meeting Your is true, the Garden is true, the Fire is true
and the Hour is true. It is coming without doubt. You will raise whoever is in the graves. If You entrust
me to myself, You entrust me to weakness, disgrace, sin and error. I can only trust in Your mercy, so
forgive me all my sins. None but You forgive sins. Turn to me. You are the Ever-Turning, All-Merciful.'”
(Ahmad and at-Tabarani)

10. Encouraging words which are said when one goes to bed and what has come about someone who
rises from sleep without mentioning Allah

50. Al-Bara’ ibn ‘Azib said, “The Prophet said, ‘When you go to your bed, do wudu’ as you do for the
prayer and then lie down on your right side and said, ‘O Allah, I have surrendered my soul to You, I have
turned my face towards You, I have entrusted my affair to You and I have sought refuge in You out of
desire for You and fear of You. There is no shelter nor place of safety from You except with You. I have
believed in Your Book which You sent down and Your Prophet whom You sent.’ Then if you die in the
night, you will die in the natural harmonious form of man. Make them the last thing that you say.” He
said, “I repeated them to the Prophet and when I reached the words, ‘Your Book which You sent down,’
I said, ‘and your Message.’ He said, ‘No: “Your Prophet whom You sent.'” (Agreed upon. In al-Bukhari
and at-Tirmidhi, “If you die in the night, you die on the natural form. If you reach the morning, you
obtain good.”)

51. ÔAbdullah ibn ÔAmr ib al-‘As reported that the Prophet said, “There are two qualities in which a
Muslim does not persevere in but that he will enter the Garden. They are easy but those who do them
are few: After every prayer, he should glorify Allah ten times, praise Him ten times, and say the takbir
ten times. That is 150 on the tongue and 150,000 in the balance. When he goes to bed, he should say
the takbir 34 times, praise Allah 33 times and glorify Him 33 times. That is 100 on the tongue and a
thousand in the balance.’ I saw the Messenger of Allah count them. They asked, ‘Messenger of Allah,
how is it that they are easy and those who do them few?’ He said, ‘Shaytan comes to one of you when
he goes to sleep and makes him fall asleep before he says them, and he comes when he is praying and
reminds him of a need before he says them.” (Abu Dawud, and at-Tirmidhi)

52. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah said, “If, when someone retires to his bed and
says. ‘There is no god but Allah alone with no partner. His is the Kingdom and praise is His. He has power
over everything and there is no power nor strength except by Allah. Glory be to Allah and praise be to
Allah. There is no god but Allah, and Allah is greater,’ he will be forgiven his sins or errors, even if they
are like the froth of the sea.” (an-Nasa’i)

11. Encouraging words said when someone wakes up in the night

53. ‘Ubada ibn as-Samit reported that the Prophet said, “If someone wakes up at night and says, ‘There
is no god but Allah alone with no partner. The kingdom is His and His is the praise. He has power over
everything. Praise belongs to Allah. Glory be to Allah. There is no god but Allah. Allah is greater. There is
no strength nor power except by Allah,’ and then says, ‘O Allah, forgive me’ or makes supplication to
Allah,’ it will be answered. If he does wudu’, then his prayer will be accepted.” (al-Bukhari and the Four)

12. Encouraging dhikrs said after Subh, ‘Asr and Maghrib

54. Abu Dharr reported that the Messenger of Allah said, “If, after the Fajr prayer, anyone says while his
feet are still folded before speaking, ‘There is no god ut Allah alone with no partner. His is the kingdom
and praise is His. He gives life and makes die, and He has power over everything’ ten times, Allah will
write for him ten good deeds, efface ten evil deeds from him, and raise him ten degrees, and that day he
is protected from every very disliked thing, guarded against shaytan, and no sin will overtake him in that
day unless it is associating with Allah.” (At-Tirmidhi)

55. Al-Harith ibn Muslim at-Tamimi said, “The Prophet said to me, ‘When you pray Subh, say seven times
before speaking, ‘O Allah, protect me from the Fire.’ If you die on that day, Allah will write for you
protection from the Fire. When you pray Maghrib, say seven times before speaking, ‘O Allah, protect me
from the Fire.’ If you die that night, Allah will write for you protection from the Fire.’ (an-Nasa’i, and Abu
Dawud)

13. Encouraging what is said and done by someone who has a dream he dislikes
56. Jabir reported that the Messenger of Allah said, “When one of you has a dream he dislikes, he
should spit to his left three times and seek refuge with Allah from the Accursed Shaytan three times and
then turn over onto his other side.” (Muslim, Abu Dawud and an-Nasa’i)

57. Abu Qatada reported that the Messenger of Allah said, “The true dream is from Allah and the
confused dream is from Shaytan. Whoever sees something he dsilieks should spit three times to his left
and seek refuge from shaytan. It will not harm him” (Agreed upon. The four relate it. In one variant,
“When he sees something he dislikes, he should seek refuge in Allah from its evil and from shaytan. He
should spit three times to his left and not tell anyone about it.” They have the like of it from Abu Hurayra
which says, “Ésomething he dislikes should not recount it to anyone, and he should get up and pray.”)

14. Encouraging ayats and dhikrs said after the obligatory prayers

58. Sumayy reported from Abu Salih that Abu Hurayra reported that the poor of the Muhajirun came to
the Messenger of Allah and said, “The wealthy have appropriated the high degrees and abiding bliss.”
He said, “How is that?” He said, “They pray as we pray and they fast as we fast, but they give sadaqa and
we do not give sadaqa and they set free slaves and we do not set free slaves.” The Messenger of Allah
said, “Shall I inform you of something by which you will overtake those who have preceded you and
precede those who come after you and no one will be better than you unless he does the same as you
do?” They said, “By all means, Messenger of Allah.” He said, “You should say ‘Glory be to Allah,’ ‘Praise
be to Allah,’ and ‘Allah is greater’ thirty-three times after every prayer.”

Abu Salih said, “The poor Muhajirun then returned to the Messenger of Allah and said, “Our brothers
who possess property heard about what we were doing and they have done the same.” The Messenger
of Allah said, “That is a favour which Allah gives to anyone He wills.”

Sumayya said, “Some of my family related this hadith and said., “I was weak. He told you: Say ‘Glory be
to Allah’ 33 times, ‘Praise be to Allah’ 33 times, and the takbir 34 times.” He said, “I returned to Abu
Salih and said that to him and he took my hand and said, ‘Allah is great; Glory be to Allah, and Praise be
to Allah’ until he said them all 33 times.”

(Agreed upon. This is the version of Muslim, He also has, “Anyone who say after every prayer, ‘Glory be
to Allah’ thirty-three times, ‘Praise belongs to Allah’ thirty-three times and ‘Allah is greater’ thirty-three
times and says to complete the hundred, ‘There is no god but Allah alone with no partner. He has the
kingdom and He has the praise and He has power over everything,’ will be forgiven his errors, even if
they are like the foam of the sea.” Malik and Ibn Khuzayma transmitted it, but Malik said, “His sins will
be forgiven, even if they are like the foam of the sea.” Abu Dawud transmitted it. Abu Dharr said,
“Messenger of Allah, the wealthy have appropriated the rewards.” In it he said, “They have excess
wealth which they give sadaqa and we do not have wealth to give as sadaqa.” He said, “Abu Dharr, shall
I teach you words by which you will catch those before you?” He said in it, “Say the takbir 33 times after
every prayer .” He said in it, “Complete it with ‘There is no god but Allah.'” At-Tirmidhi and an-Nasa’i
transmitted it.”)

59. Mu’adh ibn Jabal reported that the Messenger of Allah took him by the hand and said, “Mu’adh, by
Allah, I love you.” Mu’adh said, “May my mother and father be your ransom, Messenger of Allah. By
Allah, I love you.” He said, “Mu’adh, I advise you not to fail to say after every prayer, ‘O Allah, help me to
remember You and thank You and worship You well.'” Mu’adh advised as-Sanabihi to do that. (Abu
Dawud and an-Nasa’i)

15. Encouraging words said by someone who is alarmed at night

60. ‘Amr ibn Shu’ayb reported from his father from his grandfather that the Messenger of Allah said,
“When one you is alarmed in sleep, he should say, ‘I seek refuge with the perfect words of Allah from
His anger, from the evil of His servants and from the whisperings of shaytan and lest they be present,’
and they will not harm him.” ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr used to teach it those of his children who were sensible,
and in the case of those who were not, he wrote it in a page and then hung it from their necks.” (The
three)

61. Abu’t-Tayyah said, “I asked ‘Abdu’r-Rahman ibn Khanbash at-Tamimi, who was old, ‘Did you met the
Messenger of Allah ?’ ‘Yes,’ he replied. I asked, ‘What did he act do the night when the shaytans of the
jinn came at him?’ He said, ‘The shaytan came down that night to the Messenger of Allah from the
valleys and ravines. Among them was a shaytan with a fiery torch in his hand with which he intended to
burn the face of the Messenger of Allah. Jibril descended to him and said, ‘Muhammad, speak.’ He
asked, ‘What should I say?’ He said, ‘Say: “I seek refuge with the complete words of Allah from the evil
of what He created, originated, and produced, and from the evil of what descends from the sky and
from the evil of what ascends in it, and from the evil of the trials of the night and day, and from the evil
of from the evil of every visitant at night except that which knocks with good, O All-Mericiful.”‘ The fire
was put out and Allah Almighty defeated them.” (Ahmad and Abu Ya’la)

16. Encouraging what is said when one leaves his house for the mosque and elsewhere and when he
enters it
62. Anas ibn Malik reported that the Messenger of Allah said, “If, when a man leaveshis house, he says,
‘In the name of Allah. I have relied on Allah and there is no power nor strength except by Allah,’ he will
he told, ‘It is enough for you. You have been guided, spared and protected,’ and Shaytan will be kept far
from him.”

(At-Tirmidhi, an-Nasa’i; and Ibn Hibban)

63. Jabir reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah say, “When a man enters his house and
mentions the name of Allah both when he enters and when he eats, Shaytan says to his companions,
‘You have no lodging and no meal.’ When he enters and does not mention Allah when he enters,
Shaytan says, ‘You have lodging.’ When he does not mention Allah Almighty when he eats, he says, ‘You
have lodging and a meal.'”(Muslim and the four)

17. Encouraging what is said when there is whispering in the prayers and at other times

64. ‘Uthman ibn Abi’l-‘As reported that he went to the Prophet and said, ‘Messenger of Allah, Shaytan
comes between me and my prayer and my recitation and confuses me.’ He said, “That is a Shaytan
called Khinzab. When you feel that, seek refuge in Allah from him and spit to your left three times.’ I did
that and Allah removed it from me.” (Muslim.)

65. ‘A’isha reported that the Messenger of Allah said, “Shaytan comes to one of you and asks, ‘Who
created you?’ He says, ‘Allah. Then he says, ‘Who created Allah?’ If one of you experiences that, he
should say, ‘I believe in Allah and His Messenger.’ That will remove it.'” (Ahmad, Abu Ya’la, and al-
Bazzar)

67. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah said, “Shaytan comes to one you and says, ‘Who
created such-and-such? Who created such-and-such?’ until he says, ‘Who created your Lord?’ When it
reaches that, seek refuge with Allah and leave it.”

(Agreed upon. In the varant of Muslim, “Say: ‘I believe in Allah and His Messenger.'” In the variant of
Abu Dawud and an-Nasa’i, “Say, ‘He is Allah, the One and Only; Allah, the Eternal, Absolute. He
begetteth not, nor is He begotten, and there is none like unto Him.’ Then he should spit to his left three
times and seek refuge with Allah from Shaytan.” In the variant of an-Nasa’i, “He should seek refuge from
him and his temptations.”)
