Yaman Yamleko dua after Maghrib Salaah
After the Maghrib Prayer raise your hands and recite this supplication, as reported in ‘al-Iqbal’ from Imam Muhammad Jawad al-Taqi (peace be upon him):
اللَّهُمَّ يَا مَنْ يَمْلِكُ ٱلتَّدْبِيرَ
allahumma ya man yamliku alttadbira
O Allah Who controls the management of all affairs
وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
wa huwa `ala kulli shay'in qadirun
and He has power over all things!
يَا مَنْ يَعْلَمُ خَائِنَةَ ٱلأَعْيُنِ
ya man ya`lamu kha'inata al-a`yuni
O He Who knows the stealth of looks,
وَمَا تُخْفِي ٱلصُّدُورُ وَتُجِنُّ ٱلضَّمِيرُ
wa ma tukhfi alssuduru wa tujinnu alddamiru
that which breasts conceal, and that which selves hide
وَهُوَ ٱللَّطِيفُ ٱلْخَبِيرُ
wa huwa allatifu alkhabiru
and He is the Knower of subtle, the Aware!
اللَّهُمَّ ٱجْعَلْنَا مِمَّنْ نَوَىٰ فَعَمِلَ
allahumma ij`alna mimman nawa fa`amila
O Allah, (please do) include us with those who intend and carried out their intentions,
وَلاَ تَجْعَلْنَا مِمَّنْ شَقِيَ فَكَسِلَ
wa la taj`alna mimman shaqiya fakasila
and do not include us with those who are unhappy due to their laziness
وَلاَ مِمَّنْ هُوَ عَلَىٰ غَيْرِ عَمَلٍ يَتَّكِلُ
wa la mimman huwa `ala ghayri `amalin yattakilu
or with those who depend upon unreal hopes.
اللَّهُمَّ صَحِّحْ أَبْدَانَنَا مِنَ ٱلْعِلَلِ
allahumma sahhih abdanana min al`ilali
O Allah, (please do) cure our bodies from ailments
wa la taj`alna min almaghdubi `alayhim wa la alddallina
and do not include us with those who earn Your anger nor of those who go astray
حَتَّىٰ يَنْقَضِيَ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ عَنَّا
hatta yanqadiya shahru ramadana `anna
so that when the month of Ramadan elapses,
وَقَدْ قَبِلْتَ فِيهِ صِيَامَنَا وَقِيَامَنَا
wa qad qabilta fihi siyamana wa qiyamana
You shall have accepted our fasting and acts of worship,
وَزَكَّيْتَ فِيهِ أَعْمَالَنَا
wa zakkayta fihi a`malana
blessed our deeds,
وَغَفَرْتَ فِيهِ ذُنُوبَنَا
wa ghafarta fihi dhunubana
forgiven our sins,
وَأَجْزَلْتَ فِيهِ مِنْ كُلِّ خَيْرٍ نَصِيبَنَا
wa ajzalta fihi min kulli khayrin nasibana
and doubled our shares from all good things.
فَإِنَّكَ الإِلٰهُ ٱلْمُجِيبُ
fa'innaka al-ilahu almujibu
Verily, You are the God Who responds,
وَٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْقَرِيبُ
walrrabbu alqaribu
the Lord Who is Nigh,
وَأَنْتَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ مُحِيطٌ
wa anta bikulli shay'in muhitun
and You encompass all things.
Allahumma Rabba Shahr Ramadan
It is recommended to say the following prayer that is reported from Imam Ja`far al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) as is mentioned in the book of al-Iqbal:
salli `ali muhammadin wa`ali ahli bayti muhammadin
(please) send blessings upon Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad,
عَلَيهِ وَعَلَيهِمُ السَّلامُ،
`alayhi wa`alayhimu alssalamu,
Peace be upon him and them,
وَكَذالِكَ فَافْعَلْ بِنا
wakadhalika faf`al bina
And do all that to us,
يا أرْحَمَ الرّاحِمينَ.
ya arhama alrrahimina.
O the most Merciful of all those who show mercy.
Allahumma Innahu Qad Dakhala
According to a Hadith, the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) used to say this supplication at the beginning of Ramadan:
making it guidance to people and clear proofs of the guidance and the distinction.
اللَّهُمَّ فَبَارِكْ لَنَا فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ
allahumma fabarik lana fi shahri ramadana
So, O Allah, please bless us in the month of Ramadan,
وَأَعِنَّا عَلَىٰ صِيَامِهِ وَصَلَوَاتِهِ
wa a`inna `ala siyamihi wa salawatihi
help us observe fasting and offer prayers in it,
وَتَقَبَّلْهُ مِنَّا
wa taqabbalhu minna
and accept from us.
Alhamdulilahil Lazee Akramna
A According to a Hadith, the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) used to say this supplication at the beginning of Ramadhan month:
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي أَكْرَمَنَا بِكَ
alhamdu lillahi alladhi akramana bika
All praise be to Allah Who has honored us with you,
to forgive me, have mercy upon me, and excuse my offenses.
إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
innaka `ala kulli shay'in qadirun
You have power over all things.
Dua Hajj
It has been narrated by Sayyid Ibn Tawus in ‘al-Iqbal’ that Imam al-sadiq (peace be upon him) used to say this supplication after the Maghrib (sunset) Prayers in Ramadan. In ‘al-Kafi’, al-Kulayni has narrated on the authority of Abu-Basir that Imam al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) used to say the following supplication in Ramadan:
and not to humiliate me through honoring any of Your intimate servants.
اَللَّهُمَّ ٱجْعَلْ لِي مَعَ ٱلرَّسُولِ سَبِيلاً
allahumma ij`al li ma`a alrrasuli sabilan
O Allah, find me a way with the Messenger.
حَسْبِيَ ٱللَّهُ مَا شَاءَ ٱللَّهُ
hasbiya allahu ma sha'a allahu
Allah is Sufficient unto me! Only that which Allah wants shall take place.
Tawassul to Ahlulbayt (peace be upon them)
Another thing which a prudent wayfarer should not forget during the first night of this holy month is resorting(tawassul) to the impeccable ones (Ma'sumin)[33] in that night. It is up to him to stretch his hand sincerely towards the threshold of those exalted saintly personalities, should present their blessed, glorious, and beautiful faces as intercessors for our unblessed and polluted (with sins), faces, thus, looking towards the Lord through their splendour and magnanimity because, it is not appropriate and desirable to look towards Him directly with a face blackened with sins, and cheeks rusted with transgressions. Instead, he should plead with them, should open his tongue full of grief and anxiety, should request them to act as intercessors for pleading his case.
It might be that their hearts would become soft with love for him, with their greatness they might accept him by acting as his intercessors as well as might request Allah (the Glorious, the Exalted), that may He accept him and bestow upon him the grace and favour so that he would become the way his Lord desires him to be. Because, Allah (the Glorious, the Exalted), being the most Compassionate and most Merciful, undoubtedly would accept the plea and intercession of those compassionate and exalted personalities, especially, those Sinless noble ones, to whom He himself has taught generosity and compassion as well as has allowed them to act as intercessors.
Yes! By resorting sincerely, truly and honestly to these noble exalted personalities one may attain such gains, prosperity, and salvation which can't even be attained through engaging in worship for one complete year. Therefore, it is up to us to make our best endeavours, by treating the time as our best available opportunity; we should extend our hands towards their threshold; by offering salutations and thanks should open our tongues for needs, and saying the following sincerely and honestly:
أنت يا سيّدي في هذه الليلة حامي الأمّة وخفيرهم ،
O' my masters! Tonight you are the support and shelter of everyone,
وأكرم الخلائق ، تحبّ الضيافة ومأمور من الله جلّ جلاله بالإجارة ، عبدك ضيف الله وضيفك ، وجار الله وجارك فأجر عبدك وأضفه ،
you are the most exalted and generous among all exalted and generous ones, you like inviting guests and want to be generous towards them; Also Allah (the Glorious, the Exalted), has commanded you to provide refuge and shelter forthe wretched and unsheltered people;
واجعل قراي منك الليلة أن تدخلني في همّك وحزبك ، ودعائك وحمايتك ، وشفاعتك وولايتكوشيعتك .
now here is one of the Allah's unsheltered servants who has came to attend your as well as Allah's feast; has attached his heart upon your support and well as Allah's support and hospitality; be hospitable and allow him to sit upon the table of your generosity and treat him in the following manner:
وارغب إلى الله لي في كرم عفوه ، وقبوله ، ورضاه ،
Consider him as your friend and supporter and do not deprive him from your best support and endeavours; do not deprive him from your prayer, backing, and intercession; ask Allah (the Glorious, the Exalted), not to deprive him from His Forgiveness and Benevolence; shouldn't deprive him from His mercy and compassion; then look at him with love and pleasure; becoming so happy and pleased with him that after that He should never become unhappy and angry with him, should regard him as His sincere friend and worthy servant....
وأن ينظر إليّ نظرة رحيمة بها عنّي رضا لا سخط عليّ بعده أبداً ، ويلحقني بشيعتكم المقرّبين ، وأوليائكم السابقين ، فإنّه لا يردّ شفاعتك ، فإنّ لك عند الله شأناً من الشأن ، وقدراً من القدر ، فبحقّ هذا الشأن الذي جعل الله لك
O' my masters! Please beseech Allah (the Glorious, the Exalted), to bestow upon me these things; He will accept your prayer and intercession, because your splendour and majesty, and your worth and prestige before Him is far greater than what could be perceived by the human mind and understanding.
يا مولاي أسألك أن تسمح في حقّي بما سألتك ، وتزيدني بمقدار كرامتك ، ولا تنظر يا سيّدي إلى حقارتي وذلّ مقامي وسوء حالي ، فإنّ الكرام لا يعظم عليهم في قرى ضيفهم شيء من العطايا ، ولا يقدّرون كرامتهم وعطاياهم بقدر الضيوف السائلين ، فإنّ العطاء بقدر المعطي ، والقرى بقدر المضيف.
I swear to you by your splendour and majesty, which Allah (the Glorious, the Exalted), has bestowed upon you, to look towards me with kindness and do not deprive me from whatever I have desired; reward me more than whatever I have asked in accordance with your generosity; don't look upon my worthlessness, disobedience, and deviations, because the generosity of the generous ones and the hospitality shown by the exalted ones are in accordance with their generosity and exaltedness and not in proportion with the worth and merit of their recipients.
سادتي أنتم الذين علّمتم الكرام آداب الكرامة ، والأجواد شيم الجود والسماحة ، إن ذكر الجود كنتم أوّله وآخره ، وأصله وفرعه ومنتهاه ، وإن قيل الكرم فأنتم معدنه ومأواه لا يردّ سائلكم ولا يخيب آملكم .
O' my masters! You are the ones who have taught greatness to the exalted ones, generosity to the generous ones, and benevolence to the benevolent ones; if there is a discussion about the benevolence you are the first and the last as well as the roots and the branches; if there is a discussion about the magnanimity and greatness you are their fountainhead; you are the ones who never returned any one hopeless and empty-handed, as you yourself have proclaimed:
سادتي أنتم الذين قلتم : مثل المعروف مثل المطر ، يصيب البرّ والفاجر ، فلا تمنعوني سحائب رافتكم ، فليصبني أمطار جودكم ، فإنّي من جودكم جائع ، ومن كرمكم ظمآن ، لا ترضوا لضيفكم أن يبيت في حماكم جائعاً ضمآناً.
"Your generosity and reward like rain water pour upon the righteous ones as well as upon the bad ones, likewise;" saturate me with the rain of your generosity, do not deprive me from the rain of your generosity, do not deprive me from the pouring of your love because I am thirsty for your generosity and hungry for your love and affection; you don't like that your guests who have taken shelter in your threshold and have tied their hopes upon your benevolence should remain thirsty and hungry.
فأنت يا مولاي متى ما منعتني قراك ، بتُّ طاوياً في حماك ، ووصلت إلى الهلاك ، حاشاك من هذه المعاملة مع ضيفك ثمّ حاشاك .
O' my masters! If you will deprive me from your hospitality I will die with hunger under your shelter sitting upon the side of your tablecloth. No! No! You wouldn't treat me in this manner; you are not the ones who would deprive the guests from your hospitality so that he would return heart-broken, hopeless and hungry. Never! Never!
