SHAWWAAL AL -MUKARRAM

Compiled

President Dukhtaraan-e-Islam.

It is the 10th month of Hijri
calendar. Almighty Allah has bestowed honour, fazeelat, blessings and preference to some nights; first night of Shawwaal is one of those. Holy prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H and His Aal) said that he who spend this night in Ibaadat (salat and dua’a) will not be dejected in the day when others will be dispirited because of fear. It is reported from Imam Muhammad Baqir-ul-uloom(A.S): “my father(Imam zain ul Aabedeen) was used to pass this night in Ibaadat and Zikr.”
Many aamaal of this night have been described some of them are as under:

a. Take bath
b. Cease to
sleep;
c. Spend the
night in Ibaadat, salat, dua’a and
astaghfaar(seeking forgiveness from Allah);
d. After
salat-e-maghrib, salat e Esha,salat-e-Fajr and
salat-e-Eid the following dua’a should also be
recited:
“God is great God is great there is no God but Allah and God is great God is great and praise is for Allah praise is for Allah for He guided us and thanks to him for He bestowed us.”
e. Recite the
Ziarat-e-Imam Hussain (A.S);
f. Recite the
following Duaa 10 times:

“O whose mercy and grace upon creatures is eternal, O who grants abundantly, O the generous invoke your blessings on the Holy prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) and his pure and sinless offspring (Aal) who are the best creatures in disposition, O who is immense one forgive me in this night.”

g. Say the prayer
which consist of two raka’at: in first raka’at
sura Tauheed is to be recited thousand time
and if not possible hundred times is also
permitted after sura-al- Hamd while in the
second sura Taauheed should be recited once
after sura-al-Hamd.
h. Atoobu-elallah   
is to be recited hundred times after salaam in
sajdah and then the ….following
dua’a:

“O who is kind
and generous O who is gracious and gentle O who has
chosen Muhammad (P.B.U.H and His Aal) invoke your
blessing on Muhammad and His pure offspring and do
with me this and this ……”
Now here pray
for himself .It is reported from
Ameer-ul-momeneen Ali-ibne- Abi Talib(A.S)
that he who says this prayer, Allah will
fulfill his wishes and forgive his sins. (This
prayer should be said after salat-e-maghrib
and its nafla)
The
first day of shawwaal is Eid-ul-Fitr

taking bath, wearing new and neat dress,
reciting the ziarat-e-Imam Hussain (A.S) and
dua’a-e-Nudba is sunnat in this day. While to
give zakat-e-Fitra (charity prescribed for
Eid-ul-Fitr) is wajib muakkad for every muslim
with some conditions before salat-e-Eid (Eid
prayer )(book of fiqh may be consulted for
details ) It causes the acceptance of fasting
in the month of Ramazan and safety till the
next year.
8th
of shawwaal is the darkest day of the year
as
Aal-e-sa’ud destructed the holy graves of
Khanwaada-e-Resalat, Ahle Bait-e-Athaar,
sahaba-e-kibar in Jannat ul Baqee in 1926.
Although the respct of sha’air Allah is stated
to be a part of taqwa: 

“He that
reveres Allah’s signs, surely it is from the
piety of the hearts.”
The
sha’air Allah are the holy places that had
been the abode of Ambia-e-karam (Prophets),
Aaimma Huda and Aulia-e-Allah. When these
places deserve so much respect then those
prophets and Aulia-e-Allah who preached and
defined Islam to us deserve much more respect.
The most respectable personality if that of
Dana-e-kul, khatm-ur-Rusul then his respect is
binding on us along with his Ahle Bait-e-Athaar
and their signs are to be respected. So TNFJ
observes this day as Youm
Inhadaam-e-Janna-tul-Baqee (day of destruction
of Janna-tul-Baqee) to raise voice of protest
for the reconstruction of Holy graves of
Khanwada-e-Rasool (A.S) Aaimma huda and Ummaha
tul-momeneen situated in Janna-tul-Baqee and
Janna-tul-Mualla as the presence of
Ghumbad-e-Khazra and the graves of Hazrat Abu
Bakar and Hazrat Umer provide enough ground to
keep the Holy graves of Khanwada e Rasool,
Aaimma Huda and Ummaha-tul-momeneen intact.
10th
of shawwaal
is the day when
Ghebat-e-Kubra of Imam-e-Zamana Ajjalallaho
Ta’ala Farajahu began. 
Ghazwa
e Ohud (battle of Ohud )
was fought in
the mid of shawwaal 3rd Hijri on Saturday.
15th or 25th of shawwaal is the martyrdom day of Hazrat Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq
(A.S) about whom Hazrat Abu Hanifa said:
“that he (Abu Hanifa) is here just due to those two years which he had spent as a pupil of Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq (A.S).” Mr shibli Nomani wrote in his book “al-Farooq”: “although Abu Hanifa is a Mujtahid but yet he is a pupil of Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq of Maktab-e-Tashayyo”. TNFJ observes this day with Zeal and respect as Ashra Sadiq Aaale Muhammad from 15-25 Shawwal.
On25th of shawwaal painful punishment was inflicted on the people Hud (A.S) and they were perished.
