means that he used to observe fasts in most of the days of Shabn
and it was referred to as the whole (i.e. the fasts of the whole
month). It is usually said, Such and such a person worshipped the
whole night; although he would have spent time in eating and
answering his needs. In such cases, mostly is referred to as the
whole.

bearing the capability to do so, should observe fasts extensively.
However, the one who is weak should not fast as it may adversely
affect his capability to fast in the month of Ramadan. The same
point has been asserted in those Ad in which it was stated,
Do not fast after the first half of Shabn.

A rewarding opportunity
The books of deeds are exchanged on Shab-e-Bar`at. If possible,
observe fast on the 14th of Shabn to get a fast recorded upon
the closing day of the book of deeds.
On the 14th of Shabn, after offering the congregational al
of Ar, it is better to observe Nafl Itikf and stay in the Masjid
with the intention of waiting for the al of Maghrib. In this
way, the last moments when the book of deeds is about to
change, the virtues of being present in the Masjid, being in
Itikf, and waiting eagerly to offer alt-ul-Maghrib etc. will
be inscribed in it. It is even golden to spend the entire night
worshipping Allah ! " # $ .

offer six Rakt of Nafl in sets of two. Before offering the first
two Rakt, make the intention: Y Allah ! " # $ ! By the virtue of
these two Rakt, grant me a long life with wellbeing.
Similarly, before offering the second two Rakt, make the
intention: Y Allah ! " # $ ! By the virtue of these two Rakt,
protect me from calamities. Before offering the last two Rakt,
make the intention: Y Allah ! " # $ ! By the virtue of these two
Rakt, do not make me dependent on anyone except You.
In these six Rakt, one may recite any Sra after Sra
Al-Ftia. It is preferable to recite Sra Al-Ikhl three times
after Sra Al-Ftia in every Rakt. After every two Rakt,
recite Sra Al-Ikhl twenty one times or Sra Ysn once. If
possible, recite both. It is also possible that one Islamic brother
recites Sra Ysn while the rest listen to it silently and attentively.
18
www.dawateislami.net
Keep in mind that the other Islamic brother(s) should not recite
Sra Ysn etc. aloud individually while recitation is already
taking place loudly. Never forget the ruling that, when the
recitation of the Holy Quran is taking place loudly, it is Far-eAyn (obligatory for every individual) for those who are present
for the sake of listening to the recitation, to listen silently with
full concentration. Huge reward will pile up for you at the very
beginning of the blessed night ! " # $ . Each time after
Sra Ysn, recite the Du of mid-Shabn as well.
Du for Mid-Shabn

Enter the graveyard via the usual pathway where there had
never been graves of Muslims before. Never use the newly
carved pathway. It is quoted in Rad-dul-Mutr: Walking
on a newly carved pathway (that has been built up by
levelling the graves) is arm. (Rad-dul-Mutr, vol. 1, pp. 612)
Even if there is only overwhelming suspicion regarding
the new pathway, it is impermissible and sinful to walk on
that. (Durr-e-Mukhtr, vol. 3, pp. 183)

(2 3 said, A person
who enters a graveyard, then recites Sra Al-Ftia,
Sra Al-Ikhl and Sra At-Takur and prays this
supplication: O Allah ! " # $ ! Deliver the awb of what I
recited from the Holy Quran to the Muslim men and
women of this graveyard; all those believers will become
intercessors for him (who donated the awb) on the Day
of Judgement. (Shara-us-udr, pp. 311)
It is quoted in a ad: One who recites Sra Al-Ikhl
11 times and donates its awb to the dead, he (i.e. who
conveys the awb) will be awarded awb equivalent to
the number of the dead. (Durr-e-Mukhtr, vol. 3, pp. 183)
10. Agarbatt (incense sticks) should not be lit upon the graves
as it is a discourteous act and it causes discomfort to the
dead; however if it is desired to spread fragrance for the
comfort of the visitors, it should be lit up beside the grave
on free land, as perfuming is commendable. (Derived from:
Fatw Razawiyya, vol. 9, pp. 482, 525)

11. Do not place lamps or incense sticks upon the grave for it
is fire and placing fire upon a grave teases the dead; however
if it is required for the purpose of providing lighting to the
passers-by at night, then candles or lamps may be placed
beside the grave on free land.
In order to learn thousands of Sunan, buy Part 16 of Bar-e
Sharat consisting of 312 pages and Sunnatayn or Aadab

for learning the Sunna and good manners is to travel with the
Madan Qfilas with the devotees of the Most Noble Prophet.
