Daily A'maal

To sit and recite the Holy Quran, or dua’as, narrated by the Holy  Ahlul Bayt, after the obligatory Salaat, is called “Taa’-qeeb” , the literal meaning of which is “delay”.
It is “Sunnat I-Muwakkidah” (strongly recommended) to recite “Taa’-qeebaat” after every obligatory salaat.

(1)  Recite 3 Times :

Allah Is The Greatest

اللهُ اَكْبَرُ

(2) Recite :

There Is No God Save Allah, The One True God. And, Unto Him We Have Surrendered. There Is No God Save Allah . We Do Not Worship But Him (Alone), Making The Religion Pure, For Him (Only), However Much Idolaters Maybe Averse. There Is No God Save Allah ; Our Lord , And Lord Of Our Fathers Of Old. There Is No God Save Allah, And No Other, Allah, And No Other, Allah, And No Other, (Who) Fulfilled His Promise, Helped His Servant, Loved Dearly And Backed Up His Troop, And Put Host Of Clans To Flight, Therefore To Him Belongs The Kingdom (Sovereignty), Unto Him (Alone) Belongs The Praise. He Gives Life And Causes Death, Puts To Death And Brings To Life, He Is Ever living, Dies Not, In His Hand Is The Good; And He Is Able To Do All Things.

لا اِلـهَ إلاَّ اللهُ اِلهاً واحِداً وَنَحْنُ لَهُ مُسْلِمُونَ لا اِلـهَ إلاَّ اللهُ وَلا نَعْبُدُ إلاّ اِيّاهُ مُخْلِصينَ لَهُ الدّينَ وَلَوْ كَرَهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ لا اِلـهَ اِلاَّ اللهُ رَبُّنا وَرَبُّ آبائنَا الاَْوَّلينَ لا اِلـهَ اِلاَّ اللهُ وَحْدَهُ وَحْدَهُ وَحْدَهُ اَنْجَزَ وَعْدَهُ وَنَصَرَ عَبْدَهُ وَاَعَزَّ جُنْدَهُ وَهَزَمَ الاَْحْزابَ وَحْدَهُ فَلَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيي وَيُميتُ وَيُميتُ وَيُحْيي وَهُوَ حَىٌّ لا يَمُوتُ بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ وَهُوَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْء قَديرٌ

(3) Recite :

I Seek Forgiveness Of Allah, (Who Is) “There Is No God Save Allah” The Ever living, The Everlasting And Unto Him I Turn Repentant.

اَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ الَّذي لا اِلـهَ اِلاّ هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ وَاَتُوبُ اِلَيْهِ

(4) Recite :

O My Allah Make Me Find The Right Way Under Thy Guidance, Single Me Out For Bestowing Upon Me Thy Bounties, Spread Out And Make Me Accessible For Me Thy Mercy, Let Thy Blessings Come Down And Put Up With Me. Glory Be To Thee, There Is No God Save Allah, Blot Out My Errors And Faults, One And All, Altogether, Because No One Can Cover Them Up, Except Thee.

O My Allah, I Ask Thee For Everything Good There Is That Thy Wisdom Surrounds; I Take Refuge With Thee From Every Evil That Thy Wisdom Surrounds.

O My Allah! I Ask Thee For Success And Safety, In All Matters Concerning Me. I Seek Thy Shelter From Misery And Disgrace I Come Across In This World, And The Trouble I May Have To Face On The Day Of Judgment; I Take Shelter Under Thy Kind And Compassionate, Equitable Ways And  Means, And Thy Glorious Majesty That Does Not Fix Terms (Predestination), And Thy Omnipotence That Does Not Arbitrarily Prevent Things From (Obeying The Operation Of) Evil Of This World And Hereafter (If They Chose To Be In The Thick Of It); Also It Is True In Connection with The Evil Of Hunger And The Diseases And Evil Of (All Type Of) Violence. Thou Leads, Uncovering The Evil, Certainly My Lord, To The Right Path. There Is No Stratagem, And No Strength Save In Allah, The Highest High. I Commit My Affairs To The Charge Of That Ever living Who Does Not Die. (All) Praise Is For Allah , Who Did Not Choose For Himself A Son; There Is No Partner (Or Associate ) In His Kingdom (Sovereignty); Nor He Makes Friendswith (Any) Mean And Low Individual, And Say “Allahu Akbar”

اَللّـهُمَّ اهْدِني مِنْ عِنْدِكَ وَاَفِضْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ وَانْشُرْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ وَاَنْزِلْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ بَرَكاتِكَ سُبْحانَكَ لا اِلـهَ اِلاّ اَنْتَ اغْفِرْ لي ذُنُوبي كُلَّها جَميعاً فَاِنَّهُ لا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ كُلَّها جَميعاً اِلاّ اَنْتَ
 

اَللّـهُمَّ اِنّي أسْأَلُكَ مِنْ كُلِّ خَيْر اَحاطَ بِهِ عِلْمُكَ وَاَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَرٍّ اَحاطَ بِهِ عِلْمُكَ

اَللّـهُمَّ اِنّي أسْأَلُكَ عافِيَتَكَ في اُمُوري كُلِّها وأعوذُ بك من خزي الدنيا وعذابِ الآخرةِ وأعوُذُ بِوَجْهِكَ الْكَريمِ وَعِزَّتِكَ الَّتي لا تُرامُ وَقُدْرَتِكَ الَّتي لا يَمْتَنِعُ مِنْها شَيْءٌ مِنْ شَرِّ الدُّنْيا وَالآخِرَةِ وَمِنْ شَرِّ الأوْجاعِ كُلِّها ومن شرِّ كلِّ دابة أنت آخذٌ بناصيتها انّ ربّي على صراط مستقيم وَلا حَوْلَ وَلا قُوَّةَ إلاّ بِاللهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظيمِ تَوَّكَلْتُ عَلَى الْحَيِّ الَّذي لا يَمُوتُ وَالْحَمْدُ للهِِ الَّذى لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَداً وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَريكٌ فِي الْمُلْكِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِيٌّ مِنَ الذُّلِّ وَكَبِّرْهُ تَكْبيرا

(5)  (Then) recite Tasbih of Fatimah Zahraa (A.S.):

It is reported through Ibn Baabuwiyah that, after “Tasbih of  Fatimah (A.S.)” following dua’a may be recited :

(6)  Recite 10 times (Particularly after Fajr and Maghrib prayers):

(i)  I bear witness that witness that there is no God save Allah, alone, He has no partner, Lord God, Unique, One, Single, the eternally Besought of all. He has chosen no consort, nor has He any son.

اَشْهَدُ اَنْ لا اِلـهَ اِلاَّ اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لا شَريكَ لَهُ اِلهاً واحِداً أحَداً فَرْداً صَمَداً لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ صاحِبَةً وَلا وَلَداً

(ii) Then recite :

Glory be to Allah, as often as often as and each time when something glorifies Allah, and just as loves Allah that which glorifies Him with (the words) “Subh’aanallaahi” as He (alone) is fit for and is worthy of, since it is for the sake of His kind disposition, and glory of His Majesty. (All) praise is for Allah, as often as and each time when something praises Allah, and just as loves Allah that which praises Him with (the worlds) “Alhamdulillaah” as He (alone) is it fit for and is worthy of, since it is for the sake of His kind disposition, and glory of His Majesty. There is no God save Allah, as often as and each time when something cries out “Allah” in joy and delight, and just as loves Allah that which pronounces the words “Laa ilaaha ilallah” as He (alone) is fit for and is worthy of, since it is for the sake of His kind disposition, and glory of His Majesty. Allah is the Greatest, as often as and each time when something calls Allah Great and sublime, and just as loves Allah that which says “Allahu Akbar” as He (alone) is fit for and is worthy of, since it is for the sake of His kind disposition, and glory of His Majesty. “Glory be to Allah”, (All) praise is for Allah (alone) “there is God save Allah”, and “Allah is the Greatest”, for all the bounties bestowed upon me, and on every one of the created beings that He created, by whom ( the above noted four declarations ) used to be, are, or shall be made to the Last Day of Judgment. O My Allah send blessings on Muhammad and on the Children of Muhammad. I request Thee (to give me) the good that I ask for, and the good which I have not referred to. I take refuge with Thee, from the evil that is hanging over my head, and the evil which has not yet come upon me.

سُبْحانَ اللهِ كُلَّما سَبَّحَ اللهَ شَيءٌ وَكَما يُحِبُّ اللهُ اَنْ يُسَبَّحَ وَكَما هُوَ اَهْلُهُ وَكما يَنْبَغي لِكَرَمِ وَجْهِهِ وَعِزِّ جَلالِهِ وَالْحَمْدُ للهِ كُلَّما حَمِدَ اللهَ شَيءٌ وَكَما يُحِبُّ اللهُ اَنْ يُحْمَدَ وَكَما هُوَ اَهْلُهُ وَكَما يَنْبَغي لِكَرَمِ وَجْهِهِ وَعِزِّ جَلالِهِ وَلا اِلـهَ اِلاّ اللهُ كُلَّما هَلَّلَ اللهَ شَيءٌ وَكَما يُحِبُّ اللهُ اَنْ يُهَلَّلَ وَكَما هُوَ اَهْلُهُ وَكَما يَنْبَغي لِكَرَمِ وَجْهِهِ وَعِزِّ جَلالِهِ وَاللهُ اَكْبَرُ كُلَّما كَبَّرَ اللهَ شَيءٌ وَكَما يُحِبُّ اللهُ اَنْ يُكَبَّرَ وَكَما هُوَ اَهْلُهُ وَكَما يَنْبَغي لِكَرَمِ وَجْهِهِ وَعِزِّ جَلالِهِ سُبْحانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ للهِ وَلا اِلـهَ اِلاَّ اللهُ وَاللهُ اَكْبَرُ عَلى كُلِّ نِعْمَة اَنْعَمَ بِها عَلَىَّ وَعَلى كُلِّ اَحَد مِنْ خَلْقِهِ مِمَّنْ كانَ أوْ يَكُونُ اِلى يَوْمِ الْقِيامَةِ اَللّـهُمَّ اِنّي أسْألُكَ اَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلى مُحَمَّد وَآلِ مُحَمَّد وَأسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِ ما أَرْجُو وَخَيْرِ ما لا أرْجُو وَاَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ ما أحْذَرُ وَمِنْ شَرِّ ما لا أحْذَرُ .

Verily your Lord is Allah who created the earth in six days; then occupied the throne (Arsh). He covers the night with the day which swiftly follows it, and has made the sun and the moon and the stars subservient by His command. Verily His is all creation and commandment. Blessed is Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. Call upon your Lord humbly and in secret. Verily He loves not the transgressors. And make not mischief in the earth after it’s “fair ordering” (Reformation) thereof, and call on Him in awe and hope. Verily the mercy of Allah is at hand for those who do good.

اِنَّ ربَّكُمُ اللهُ الَّذِىْ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَاْلاَرْضَ فِىْ سِتَّةِ اَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَاى عَلَى الْعَرْشِ يُغْشِى اللَّيْلَ النَّهَارَ يَطْلُبُه حَثِيْثًا وَّالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ وَالنُّجُوْمَ مُسَخَّرَاتٍ بِاَمْرِهِ اَلاَ لَهُ الَاخَلْقُ واْلاَمْرُ تَبَارَكَ اللهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِيْنَ. اُدْعُوْا رَبَّكُمْ تَضَرُّعًا وَّخُفْيَةً اِنَّه لاَيُحِبُّ الْمُعْتَدِيْنَ . وَلاَ تُفْسِدُوْا فِى اْلاِرْضِ بَعْدَ اِصْلاَحِهَا وَادْعُوْهُ خَوْفًا وَّطَمَعًا اِنَّ رَحْمَتَ اللهِ قَرِيْبٌ مِّنَ الْمُحْسِنِيْنَ

O Lord of might and glory, send blessings on Muhammad and   on the Children of Muhammad. And have mercy on me, keep me safe from the fire (of Hell)

يا ذَا الْجَلالِ وَالاِكْرامِ صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّد وَآلِ مُحَمَّد وَارْحَمْني وَاَجِرْني مِنَ النّارِ

 (10)  Recite 12 times:

(i) Sooratul Ikhlaas
(ii) And the following dua’a Imam Ali Al-Murtaza(A.S.)  used to recite 12times after every obligatory Namaaz.
O My Allah, I beseech Thee in the name of Thy well-guarded, treasured, pure, chaste, and blessed name; and I beseech Thee in the name of Thy Great name, Thy Kingdom is eternal, O He who makes many generous presents, O He who sets slaves free, O He who loses and unties the throttling ties around the neck in the fire of Hell, I beseech Thee (that) Thou send blessings on Muhammad and on the Children of Muhammad, and set my neck free from the burning inferno; make my exit from this world calm and peaceful, and my entry in Paradise safe and easy, settle my supplication (as under) :
Let the first be a total liberation, the middle a whole success, let the last be a beautiful order of lasting peace. Verily Thou art well aware of all that is hidden and invisible.

اَللّـهُمَّ اِنّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْمَكْنُونِ الَْمخْزُونِ الطّاهِرِ الطُّهْرِ الْمُبارَكِ وَأسْأَلُكَ بِاْسمِكَ الْعَظيمِ وَسُلْطانِكَ الْقَديمِ يا واهِبَ الْعَطايا وَيا مُطْلِقَ الاُسارى وَيا فَكّاكَ الرِّقابِ مِنَ النّارِ أَسْأَلُكَ اَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلى مُحَمَّد وَآلِ مُحَمَّد وَاْنَ تُعْتِقَ رَقَبَتي مِنَ النّارِ وَاَنْ تُخْرِجَني مِنَ الدُّنْيا سالِماً وَتُدْخِلَنِي الْجَنَّةَ آمِناً وَاَنْ تَجْعَلَ دُعآئي اَوَّلَهُ فَلاحاً وَاَوْسَطَهُ نَجاحاً وَآخِرَهُ صَلاحاً اِنَّكََ أنْتَ عَلاّمُ الْغُيُوبِ .

(11) (then) Recite :

[ Imam Ali Al-Murtaza (A.S.) had advised his followers to recite the following dua’as after every obligatory Namaaz]
(i)    O He whom hearing of one sound does not render inattentive to the other, O He whom supplicants (how many they may be) do not confuse or disturb, O He whom clamorous determined pleading of petitioners do not upset; let me cultivate the good taste of enjoying the calm and quiet, only Thy favours make possible; the gentleness and unselfishness Thy kindness and indulgence develop (in me).

يا مَنْ لا يَشْغَلُهُ سَمْعٌ عن سمع وَيا مَنْ لا يُغَلِّطُهُ السّائِلُونَ وَيا مَنْ لا يُبْرِمُهُ اِلْحاحُ المُلِحِّينَ اَذِقْني بَرْدَ عَفْوِكَ وَحَلاوَةَ رَحْمَتِكَ وَمَغْفِرَتِكَ

(ii)

My Allah, the Salaat (Namaaz) I have just prayed, was not to put forth  any demand before Thee, nor was there any self-seeking desire to reach Thee through it. It was nothing but praise, obedience and surrender unto Thee, in order to carry out that which Thou has commanded. My Allah, If there was a break of continuity (disturbance of mind) or shortcoming, while making  the intention, or standing, while bowing down, or prostrating in adoration, do not catch hold of me, (but) have the kindness of bestowing a favour on me, by affording me through Thy mercy absolution and acceptance, O the Most Merciful.

اِلـهي هذه صَلاتي صَلَّيْتُها لا لحاجَة منْكَ اليْها وَلا رَغْبَة مِنْكَ فيها اِلاّ تَعْظيماً وَطاعَةً وَاِجابَةً لَكَ اِلى ما اَمَرْتَني بِهِ الـهي اِنْ كانَ فيها خَلَلٌ اَوْ نَقْصٌ مِنْ رُكُوعِها أوْ سُجُودِها فَلا تؤاخذني وَتَفَضَّلْ عَلَيَّ بِالْقَبُولِ وَالْغُفْرانِ .

(iii) The following dua’a was taught by the Holy Prophet (S.A.) to Imam Ali (A.S.), to be recited after every obligatory Salaat, for developing a flawless memory:

Glory be to Him who does not treat the citizens of His Kingdom unjustly and harshly, Glory be to Him who does not let torment and pain come suddenly upon mankind, Glory be to the Compassionate, the Merciful. O Allah fill my heart and mind with true enlightenment, discerning intelligence, quick understanding and knowledge, Verily Thou art able to do all things.

سُبْحانَ مَنْ لا يَعْتَدي عَلى أهْلِ مَمْلَكَتِهِ سُبْحانَ مَنْ لا يَأخُذُ اَهْلَ الاَْرْضِ بأَلْوانِ الْعَذابِ سُبْحانَ الرَّؤوُفِ الرَّحيمِ اَللّـهُمَّ اْجَعلْ لي في قَلْبى نُوراً وَبَصَراً وَفَهْماً وَعِلْماً اِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَي قَديرٌ .

(12) In “Misbah of Kafa’amee” it is written that the following dua’a may be recited after every obligatory Salaat :

Long for Thy protection my Nafs (soul), my belief, my family, my possessions, my children and my brother’s-in-faith, and that which Thou, my Lord gives me as means of livelihood, and my deeds that have been done, and whoso makes know and refers to his cause and case in the name of Allah, and no other, the Single, the Independent Everlasting, (who) begets not, nor was begotten, and there is none like (comparable) unto Him; (in the name of) the Lord of daybreak, from the evil of that which He has created; from the evil of the darkness when it is intense, and from the evil of the malignant witchcraft, and from the evil of the envier when he envies. (in the name of) the Lord of mankind, the King of mankind, the God of mankind, from the evil of the sneaking whisperer, who whispers in the hearts of people, (be he) from among the jinn and mankind

اُعيذُ نَفْسي وَديني وَاَهْلي وَمالي وَوَلَدي وَاِخْواني في ديني وَما رَزَقَني رَبِّي وَخَواتيمَ عَمَلي وَمَنْ يَعْنيني اَمْرُهُ بِاللهِ الْواحِدِ الاَحَدِ الصَّمَدِ الَّذي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفواً اَحَدٌ وَبِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ مِنْ شَرِّ ما خَلَقَ وَمِنْ شَرِّ غاسِق اِذا وَقَبَ وَمِنْ شَرِّ النَّفّاثاتِ فِي الْعُقَدْ وَمِنْ شَرِّ حاسِد اِذا حَسَدَ وَبِرَبِّ النّاسِ مَلِكِ النّاسِ إلـهِ النّاسِ مِنْ شَرِّ الْوَسْواسِ الْخَنّاسِ الَّذى يُوَسْوِسُ في صُدُورِ النّاسِ مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنّاسِ .

(13) Recite the following dua’a after every obligatory prayer:

It is reported that the Holy Prophet (S.A.) had said that if one wants to keep hidden (forgiven) his faults and mistakes, committed in this world, on the Day of Judgment, he should recite the following dua’a after every obligatory prayer:
My Allah, indeed, Thy indulgence is more to be hoped for than    my deeds; certainly Thy mercy is more deep and far-reaching   compared to my faults and mistakes. My Allah if my errors, in the matter of Thy laws, are grave in nature, Thy pardon is more substantial and well-known than my transgressions. If not obscured the befitting (praise), that eloquently describes Thy Mercy to perfection, it is because Thy Mercy is most (praise) worthy, (which) obtains and speeds up plenty of opportunities for me in everything, through Thy kindness O the Most Merciful.

اَللّـهُمَّ إنَّ مَغْفِرَتَكَ اَرْجى مِنْ عَمَلى وَاِنَّ رَحْمَتِكَ أوْسَعُ مِنْ ذَنْبي اَللّـهُمَّ إن كانَ ذَنبي عِنْدَكَ عَظيماً فَعَفْوُكَ اَعْظَمُ مِنْ ذَنْبي اَللّـهُمَّ إنْ لَمْ اَكُنْ أهْلاً أنْ اَبْلُغَ رَحْمَتُكَ فرحمتك اَهْلٌ اَنْ تَبْلُغَني وَتَسَعَني لاَِنَّها وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَيْء بِرَحْمَتِكَ يا اَرْحَمَ الرّاحِمينَ .

(14) Shaykh Kafaa’mee had advised to recite Dua’a “Hifzi Eman” after every obligatory salaat.
