Devotions Before Fajr

2 raka’ats Tayyatul Wudu Salatul Najat Standing, facing Qibla, say: Allahumma tahhirni min ghadabin nafs. (100x:) Ya Halim Allahumma a’udhu bika min sharri nafsi wa min sharrin nas wa a’udhu bika min fitnatid dunya wa ‘adhabil akhirah. (100x:) Ya Hafiz (Then make the two raka’ats Salatul Najat. In the first raka’at you use the following ayats:) Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Wa ilahukum ilahun wahidun, la ilaha ilaha illa Huwa r-Rahmanu r-Rahim. Allahu la ilaha illa Huwa l-Hayyu l-Qayyum, la ta'khudhuhu sinatun wa la nawm, lahu ma fi s-samawati wa ma fi l-ard, man dha l-ladhi yashfa'u 'indahu illa bi idhnih, ya'lamu ma bayna aydihim wa ma khalfahum wa la yuhituna bi shayy'in min 'ilmihi illa bi ma sha', wasi'a Kursiyyuhu s-samawati wa l-ard, wa la ya'uduhu hifzuhuma, wa huwa l-'Aliyyu l-'Azim ... Shahida-ilahu innahu la ilaha illa Hu wa l-mala'ikatu wa ulu l-'ilmi qa'iman bi l-qist. La illaha illa Huwa l-'Azizu, l-Hakim. lnna d-dina inda-llahi l-Islam. … Quli-llahumma Maliku l-mulki, tu'ti l-mulka man tasha'u wa tanzi'u l-mulka mimman tasha'u wa tu, izzu man tasha'u, wa tudhillu man tasha'u, bi yadika l-khayr, innaka 'ala kulli shayy'in qadir. Tuliju l-layla fi n-nahar, wa tuliju nahara fi l-layl, wa tukhriju l-hayya mina l-mayyit, wa tukhriju l-mayyita mina l-hayy, wa tarzuqu man tasha'u bi ghayri hisab. (Ayatul Kursi and 3:18-19, 26-27)

O Allah! Purify me from the anger of the Ego. (100 times:) O All-Forbearing! O Allah! I take refuge in You from the evil of my ego and from the evil of the people. I take refuge in You from the trials of this life and the punishment of the Hereafter. (100 times:) O Preserver! In the name of Allah, the Mericiful, the Compassionate. Your God is One God; there is no God but He, the All-Merficul, the All-Compassionate. … Allah there is no god but He the Living, the Everlasting. Slumber seizes Him not, neither sleep: to Him belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. Who is there that shall intercede with Him save by His leave? He knows what lies before them and what is behind them, and they comprehend not anything of His knowledge save such as He wills. His Throne comprises the heavens and the earth; the preserving of them oppresses Him not; He is the All-High, the Almighty. … Allah bears witness that there is no god but He and the angels and men of knowledge upholding justice; there is no god but He, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. The religion with God is Islam. … Say: O Allah, Master of the Kingdom, Thou givest the Kingdom to whom Thou wilt, and seizest the Kingdom from whom Thou wilt, Thou exaltest whom Thou wilt, and Thou abasest whom Thou wilt; in Thou hand is the good; … (cont.)

(in the second raka’at after Fatiha you recite Iklas 11 times. After the 2 raka’ats are completed you go into sajda and make one of the following supplications:) Ya Rabbi, kama ta’kulun narul hataba hakadhal hasadul mutasilu fiyya ya’kulu jami’i ‘a’mali. Khallisni, ya Rabbi minhu wa khallisni aydan minal ghadabin nafsani wa min nafsiyit tiflil madhmumah, wa minal akhlaqidh dhamimah. Ya Rabbi, baddil kullu akhlaqi ila akhlaqin hamidatin wa af’alin hasanah. OR Ya Rabbi, innal hasada muta’assilu fiyya ya’kulu jami’i ‘a’malis salihat, kama ta’kulan narul hatab. Ya Rabbi, ‘unzila ‘ala ‘inaiati min fadlik, wa azil minni al-hasad wa tahir qalbi minhu wa min tifli nafsil madhmumah wa minal akhlaqidh dhamimah, wa baddil akhlaqi ila akhlaqin hamidatin hasanah. (Thereafter supplicate your Lord as you like and as will be inspired to your heart, because the supplication in that prostration will be granted and will be raised directly to the Presence of Allah, the Exalted, by the Hand of His Power without intervention of the angels) 2 to 8 raka’ats Tahajjud

… Thou art over all things Powerful. Thou makest the night to enter into the day and Thou makest the day to enter into the night, Thou bringest forth the living from the dead and Thou bringest forth the dead from the living, And Thou providest whomsover Thou wilt without reckoning. O my Lord, just as fire consumes wood, my envy consumes all of my (good) deeds. Free me from it, O my Lord, and free me also from the anger of my ego, and from the childish blameworthy ego and from my blameworthy manners. O my Lord, change all my manners to praiseworthy ones and (change all my) deeds to good ones. OR O my Lord, indeed the envy that is radicated in me devours all of my (good) deeds, just as fire consumes wood. O my Lord, let a sign of Your Grace descend upon me and make my envy cease, purify my heart from it and from the childish ego of blameworthy quality and from my blameworthy manners and change my manners to praiseworthy ones and (change all my deeds ) to good ones.

Glory be to your Lord, the Lord of Might (Who transcends) all which people ascribe to Him; and Peace be upon the Emissaries and Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. O Allah!

The repentance of a slave who has oppressed himself, who neither has power over his death, nor his life, nor his resurrection. O Allah! You are my Lord. There is no god but You. You have created me. I am Your slave and I hold fast to Your convenant and Your promise. I take refuge in You from the evil I have done, and testify that Your Grace is upon me, and profess my sin. Forgive me my sins, for there is no one who forgives except You, O Allah! I seek refuge in Allah from shaitan the accursed, in the name of Allah Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. Our Lord; make not our hearts to swerve after You have guided us; and give us Your Mercy; You are the Bestower. O Bestower! O Bestower! O Bestower! O Originator of causes! O Opener of doors! O Tuner of hearts and eyes! O Guide of the perplexed! O Succour for those who seek Your aid! O Living! O Self-Subsisting One! O You who are possessed of Majesty and Bounty! I entrust my affair unto Allah. Truly, Allah is aware of His servants. O From whom there is no refuge except in Him, do not disappoint our hopes, O Eternally Beneficent. Do not despair of the Mercy of Allah, for Allah forgives every sin. Truly, He is the All-Forgiving, All-Merciful. O Allah, we ask Your pardon and ask for strength in religion in this life and the Hereafter. O Allah, veil us with Your Beautiful Veil. O Allah, veil my imperfection and set me to rest when I fear, and settle my debts. O Allah, we take refuge in You from the pangs of tribulations, from being overtaken by misfortune, and from an evil destiny, and from the gloating of mine enemies, by the sanctity of the one whom you sent as a Mercy to the Worlds

Slumber seizes Him not, neither sleep: to Him belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. Who is there that shall intercede with Him save by His leave? He knows what lies before them and what is behind them, and they comprehend not anything of His knowledge save such as He wills. His Throne comprises the heavens and the earth; the preserving of them oppresses Him not; He is the All-High, the Almighty. … Allah bears witness that there is no god but He and the angels and men of knowledge upholding justice; there is no god but He, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. The religion with God is Islam. … Say: O Allah, Master of the Kingdom, Thou givest the Kingdom to whom Thou wilt, and seizest the Kingdom from whom Thou wilt, Thou exaltest whom Thou wilt, and Thou abasest whom Thou wilt; in Thou hand is the good; Thou art over all things Powerful. Thou makest the night to enter into the day and Thou makest the day to enter into the night, Thou bringest forth the living from the dead and Thou bringest forth the dead from the living, And Thou providest whomsover Thou wilt without reckoning.
