19 & 21 Ramadhan

The night of 19 Ramadhan 40 A.H. marked the beginning of one of the greatest losses to humanity. A man who had given everything to others, who had been oppressed but never thought of revenge, who forgave his enemies, who helped the weak and fathered the orphans was preparing to meet his Lord. On this night, a wicked and impure man was going to besmear his hands with the blood of the Commander of the Faithful so that it might serve as a dowry for a wicked and impure woman.

When it was dawn, Imam Ali (AS) proceeded to the mosque slowly. He stopped at the gate for a short while and looked at the mourning ducks. Imam arrived at the Kufa mosque and prostrated himself before Almighty Allah (SWT). At that time, ibne Muljim (May the curse of Allah and all his creatures befall him) dealt such a blow on his head, everything in this world became heartbroken except the face of Ali who cried out: “By the Lord of the Kabah, I have been successful!”

On the twenty-first day of Ramadhan, AH 40, Imam `Ali ibn Abi-Talib, Amir al-Mu'minin peace be upon him, departed from this life as a martyr.

Third: It is recommended to recite the following supplication:

يَا ذَا الّذِي كَانَ قَبْلَ كُلّ شَيْءٍ،	ya dhalladhy kana qabla kulli shay‘in	O He Who has been always there before all things,
ثُمّ خَلَقَ كُلّ شَيْءٍ،	thumma khalaqa kulla shay‘in	And He then created all things,
ثُمّ يَبْقَى وَيَفْنَى كُلّ شَيْءٍ،	thumm yabqa wa yafna kullu shay‘in	And He then stays while all things vanish.
يَا ذَا الّذِي لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ،	ya dhalladhy laysa kamithlihi shay‘un	O He Whose like in not found at all
وَيَا ذَا الّذِي لَيْسَ فِي السّمَاوَاتِ العُلَى،	wa ya dhalladhy laysa fi alssamawati al`ula	O He; neither in the highest heavens,
وَلا فِي الأَرَضِينَ السّفْلَى،	wa la fi alaradhina alssufla	Nor in the lowest layers of the earth
وَلا فَوْقَهُنّ وَلا تَحْتَهُنّ وَلا بَيْنَهُنّ إلهٌ يُعْبَدُ غَيْرُهُ،	wa la fawqahunna wa la tahtahunna wa la baynahunna ilhun yu`badu ghayruhu	Nor above them, nor beneath them, nor there is between them any god that is worshipped save Him.
لَكَ الحَمْدُ حَمْداً لا يَقْوَى عَلَى إحْصَائِهِ إلاَّ أَنْتَ،	laka alhamdu hamdan la yaqwa `ala ihsa’ihi illa anta	To You be the praise that none can count save You,
فَصَلّ عَلَى مُحَمّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمّدٍ صَلاةً لا يَقْوَى عَلَى إحْصَائِهَا إلاَّ أَنْتَ.	fasalli `ala muhammadin wa ali muhammadin salatan la yaqwa `ala ihsa’iha illa anta	So, please bless Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad with the blessings that none can count save You.

O One Who was before everything and then brought everything into existence. He will remain while all else will be destroyed. O the One sole and solitary excepting Whom there is none else in the high heavens or low earths or above and below them, or in between them who is worth worshipping. Only Thou art the deity and none else deserves to be worshipped. Thou only deserves the praise which cannot be encompassed but by Thee. Therefore bestow Peace and Blessings on Muhammad (S.A.W.) and Aal-e-Muhammad (A.S.) such as no body else has the power to encompass

O Allah, while taking decisions and rendering possible things and events decisively and determining a rational and sensible course of affairs in the Night of Qadr (which cannot be changed or bypassed), write my name in the list of those pilgrims of Thy Sacred House whose pilgrimage receive Thy approval, whose efforts are appreciated, whose sins are forgiven, whose wrongdoings are overlooked; and, while taking decisions and rendering possible things and events, make possible for me a long life and enough means of livelihood, and fulfill… (mention your legitimate desires)

اللّهُمّ صَلّ عَلَى مُحَمّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمّدٍ	allahumma salli `ala muhammadin wa ali muhammadin	O Allah: (please) bless Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad,
وَاقْسِمْ لِي حِلْماً يَسُدّ عَنّي بَابَ الجَهْلِ،	waqsim li hilman yasuddu `anni baba aljahli	And decide for me forbearance that blocks the door to ignorance against me,
وَهُدَىً تَمُنّ بِهِ عَلَيّ مِنْ كُلّ ضَلالَةٍ،	wa hudan tamunn bihi `alayya min kulli dhalalatin	And guidance that You confer upon me against any item of straying off,
وَغِنَىً تَسُدّ بِهِ عَنّي بَابَ كُلّ فَقْرٍ،	wa ghinan tasudd bihi `anni baba kull faqrin	And affluence that blocks the door to all poverty against me,
وَقُوّةً تَرُدّ بِهَا عَنّي كُلّ ضَعْفٍ،	wa quwwatan tarudd biha `anni kulla dha`fin	And power due to which You repel any weakness from me,
وَعِزّاً تُكْرِمُنِي بِهِ عَنْ كُلّ ذُلّ،	wa `izzan tukrimuny bihi `an kulla dhullin	And might with which You honor me against all humiliation,

وَعَافِيَةً تَسْتُرُنِي بِهَا عَنْ كُلّ بَلاءٍ،	wa `afiyatan tasturuny biha `an kulli bala‘in	And well-being by which You cover me against any ailment,
وَعِلْماً تَفْتَحُ لِي بِهِ كُلّ يَقِينٍ،	wa `ilman taftahu li bihi kulla yaqinin	And knowledge due to which You open before me all certitude,

O Generous Giver; put fear (of the consequences of breaking Thy laws) in my heart to deserve (Thy) all-embracing mercy; preserve incorruptible integrity in me so that it puts a barrier between me and wrongdoing till I reach the sanctuary of all (14) Infallibles, to be presented before Thee for obtaining Thy mercy, O the Most Merciful.

It has been narrated that `Ali ibn Hammad visited Imam Ja`far al-Sadiq (a.s) at the twenty-first night of Ramadhan. “Have you bathed yourself, Hammad?” asked the Imam. “Yes, I have,” answered Hammad. The Imam (a.s) then asked him to stand by him so as to imitate him in offering the prayers. Hammad did. When they finished all the prayers, the Imam (a.s) began to say the supplications and Hammad listened and prayed for response. When dawn rose, the Imam (a.s) declared the adhan (call to prayer), uttered the iqamah (the prefatory part of prayers), and then summoned some of his servant to participate in the prayer. They all stood behind the Imam (a.s) who led their congregational Fajr Prayer reciting Surahs of al-Fatihah and al-Qadr in the first Rak`ah and Surahs of al-Fatihah and al-Tawhid in the second. When he finished the post-prayer invocations of glorifying Almighty Allah, praising Him, venerating Him, thanking Him, praying Him for sending blessings upon the Holy Prophet and his Household, and praying Him for the good of all the believing men and women as well as all the Muslims, Imam al-Sadiq (a.s) prostrated himself. The companions could not hear anything except the Imam’s breaths for a long time. Hammad narrated: I could then hear him saying the following supplication, as quoted from Iqbal al-A`mal 1:336:

لا إلهَ إلاّ أنتَ مُقَلِّبَ القُلوبِ وَالأبْصارِ،	la ilaha illa anta muqalliba alqulubi wa alabsari,	There is no god save You, the Transformer of hearts and sights
لا إلهَ إلاّ أنتَ خالِقَ الخَلقِ	la ilaha illa anta khaliqa alkhalqi	There is no god save You, the Creator of the creatures,

لا إلهَ إلاّ أنتَ باعِثَ مَنْ في القُبورِ،	la ilaha illa anta ba`ithha man fy alquburi,	There is no god save You, the Resurrector of those who are in graves.
لا إلهَ إلاّ أنتَ مُدَبِّرَ الأُمورِ،	la ilaha illa anta mudabbira alaumuri,	There is no god save You, the Manager of all affairs.
لا إلهَ إلاّ أنتَ دَيّانَ وَجَبّارَ الجَبابِرَةِ.	la ilaha illa anta dayyana wa jabbara aljababirati.	There is no god save You, the Master and the most Omnipotent of all those who claim omnipotence.

لا إلهَ إلاّ أنتَ مُحْصِيَ ما يَدُبُّ في ظُلُماتِ البِحارِ وَفي أطْباقِ الثَّرى.	la ilaha illa anta muhsiya ma yadubbu fy ¨ulumati albihari wa fy athbaqi althhthhari.	There is no god save You. It is You Who keeps count of whatever creeps in the darknesses of oceans and in the layers of the earth.
