It is the 10th month of Hijra calender 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:

  • Take bath;
  •  Cease to sleep;
  •  Spend the night in Ibaadat, salat, dua’a and astaghfaar(seeking forgiveness from Allah);
  • 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.”

  •  Recite the Ziarat-e-Imam Hussain (A.S);
  •  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 .

  •  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.
    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-Fit
r 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 Hijra on Saturday.


15th of shawwaal is the martyrdon 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.


On25th of shawwaal
painful punishment was inflicted on the people Hud (A.S) and they were perished.
