Treatment Of Dengue Fever Through Holy Quran's Verses

Islam is a religion much more than mere religious teachings and principles. It is in fact a complete code of life that not only teaches people about religious obligations, but offers them a complete set of instructions to live their lives accordingly.

Importance Of Cleanliness In Islam

Among all other things it teaches, comes cleanliness and hygiene. Allah Almighty is the cleanest of clean and purest of the pure, also evident from His direct words on different places in the Quran, such as:

At-Taubah [9:108] Never stand you therein. Verily, the mosque whose foundation was laid from the first day on piety is more worthy that you stand therein (to pray). In it are men who love to clean and to purify themselves. And Allâh loves those who make themselves clean and pure (i.e. who clean their private parts with dust [which has the cleansing properties of soap] and water from urine and stools, after answering the call of nature].

This verse is a proof more than enough how particular Allah Almighty and Islam is about cleanliness and purification. Not only it hints that Allah likes clean and pure people, but it also states how to do that in significant detail.

Physical As Well As Spiritual Consequences Of Not Maintaining Cleanliness

Unluckily, Muslims as followers of the true religion of God have strayed greatly from the true teachings of Allah Almighty and His religion. Just have a look at the situation of cleanliness in most of the Islamic countries of the world and you will immediately realize them lacking greatly as compared to majority of the western societies where cleanliness is their top most priority.
As mentioned earlier, on the day of Shab-e-Barat, Muslims perform Nawafil and worship Allah to gain as much rewards as possible. Some nawafil are listed below.

1. Offer 6 rakaat Nafl after the Maghrib prayers and after every two rakaats, recite Surah Yasin one time. This will help you get a healthy and prosperous life for the following year by the blessing of Alah.

2. Offer 12 rakaat nafl namaaz and in each rakaat recite, Surah Fatiha one time and Surah Ikhlas ten times. After the prayer, recite 3rd Kalma ten times, 4th Kalma ten times, and Durood Sharif 100 times.

Allah says in Quran,

“Whoever of the nation [ummah] of My Beloved Prophet (Swall Allahu Alaihi Wasallam) performs 2 cycles [raka’] of prayer on the 15th night of Shabaan is better than this 400 years of worship.” {Nuzhatul Majalis}.

Forgiveness on Shab-e-Barat

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) says,

“Allah Glorious and Exalted descends to the nearest heaven on the night of mid-Shabaan (15th night) and He forgives more people than the number of hair on the hides of the flocks and herds of sheep of the tribe of Kalb”. {Tirmidhi}.

However, there are some people who are not forgiven on the night of Shab-e-Barat because of their previous deeds. Those who are not forgiven on the night of Shab-e-Barat are mentioned below.

1. Alcoholics and habitual drinkers

2. Those who perform adultery on a regular basis.

3. Individuals who disobey their parents

4. Individuals who have severed family ties.

5. Those who like to spread mischief.

6. Those who back bite often.

However, some narrations vary in this regard. Other narrations also include individuals practicing magic, gaining interest, lowering pants below their ankles with pride, beginning a dispute between two Muslims and those who have hatred for a Muslim in their heart. All these individuals are among those who are not forgiven on Shab-e-Barat.

Conclusion

Therefore, Shab-e-Barat has tremendous benefits for Muslims. It is best to pray and worship Allah on that night and seek his forgiveness. Quran teaching to children will allow them to learn about the benefits of such nights in Islam.

Dengue Fever

This unfortunate negligence from Quran teaching not only inflicts spiritual deterioration to Muslims, but also results in many illnesses and diseases. One current example is of “Dengue fever”, an infection that is wracking havoc currently in Pakistan. Among other reasons, one of the major reasons for its outbreak is lack of cleanliness in the surroundings.

Dengue fever is basically an infectious disease for which Aedes aegypti mosquito is responsible. There are four different types of dengue viruses that can be spread through this mosquito. It is also referred as “break-bone fever”, because sometimes it inflicts pain so severe in your joints and bones that it gives the feeling that bones are being crushed and broken.

Symptoms Of Dengue Fever

Constantly high fever (up to 104°F to 105°F)
Severe headaches
Constant fatigue
Nausea
Vomiting
Severe pain in joints and bones

Conventional Treatment Of Dengue Fever

Medical experts communicate that there exists no specific treatment of Dengue Fever as yet, but only the treatment of symptoms, in addition to preventive measures to assure Dengue does not break out like an epidemic, for which nothing proves more effective other than keeping yourself and your surroundings clean.

Treatment Of Dengue Fever From Holy Quran

Though contemporary medical science fails to provide any significant cure from this dangerous (even lethal) fever, resorting to Quran teaching does offer us relief from such an ailment.

These verses from Holy Quran, when read in the order described here, are considered to be read once, and it is advised to read them 11 times a day.

The “Durood Shareef” mentioned above needs to be read before and after 11 time recitation of the verses

All the family members are advised to read through these verses in one combine sitting, blowing it on their bodies and water which should be given to patients for drinking. In addition, you should sprinkle this water all through your home

This whole process comprising of recitation of verses from Holy Quran in the way mentioned here would serve you as the best cure to this outrageous Dengue Fever by the grace of God Almighty. Try it yourself and also refer it to others for helping people suffering from such a disease.

Learn Quran Before You Pass Any Kind Of Judgment

September 19th, 2011 — Islam Religion, Quran Learning

No matter what people say and believe, an unbiased study of history (let alone religion) reveals that Islam brought a revolution of its own kind that not only affected the people of a particular region, religion, or ethnicity, but it became a worldwide phenomenon soon just a few decades after its completion.

What Muslims believe is that Islam is the last religion offered by God Almighty to all humanity to come till The Day of Resurrection, believing in what God Almighty states in Holy Scripture of Muslims, i.e. the Holy Quran in the following words:

This day, I have perfected your religion for you and completed My favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion…” (Holy Qur’an, 5:3)

Also stated is the fact that:

Al-Baqara [2:231] …..He sent down to you the book and Wisdom, for your instruction. And fear Allah and know that Allah is well acquainted with all things.

Islam has always been center of great debate for many reasons, mostly because people believe in all the gossips about it rather than actually studying it, knowing it and understanding it on individual level. As a matter of common sense and logic, the best way to pass a judgment and make an opinion about anything is to know it first, analyze it and then take the decision. In case of Quran, however, majority of people all through the course of history, have been biased. Instead of taking time out to learn Quran, they prefer believing and disseminating wrong information about it.

For instance, people consider Islam to be a code of conduct that restricts and confines the rights of female gender greatly as compared to male gender, which is totally untrue in accordance to Quranic teachings in this regard, some of which are discussed here. Just these few examples shall be more than enough to develop an initial idea what Quran teaches human beings about different issues.

“And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty…” Surah 24:31

Before going any further, just imagine the number of instances where women report sexual harassment of various kinds in western nations. Ironically, the number of such instances is on constant rise in most of the western societies. One of the reasons why so many women have to bear these kinds of inconvenient experiences is their public appearance. The more a woman is dressed provocatively, higher are the chances that she be subjected to such an unfavorable situation.

At another occasion in Quran, Almighty Allah states:

“O prophet! Tell thy wives and daughters, and the believing women, that they should cast their outer garments over their persons (when abroad)…” Surah 33:59

Many converts themselves state that their level of confidence and sense of security has increased greatly ever since they started covering themselves with “hijab” (a piece of cloth mostly covering women’s hair as well as bosom, just leaving the face uncovered).

The fact of the matter is that to make your opinion about anything (let alone Quran), knowing and learning about it is required. That is why, in order to decide whether Islam and Quran are a cause of peace and tranquility or a cause of terror and unrest, make sure you read and learn Quran first. Today, translations of Quran are available in almost all major languages of the world, which makes doing so even more convenient.

Ramadan – A Nutritional And Exercise Plan For Men And Women

August 15th, 2011 — Islam Religion, Ramadan

During the blessed month of Ramadan, most people face different kinds of health related problems. For some, Ramadan results in weight gain while for others it leads to reduced energy levels. No matter what the case, if you want to have the energy to pray, read and learn Quran during Ramadan, you need to devise strategies that will help you maintain a balance. The best solution to all health problems is to make a workout and nutrition plan for this month.

However, before you start making a nutritional plan for Ramadan, it is best if you understand the bodily changes that take place while fasting.

Ramadan and its Affect on the Body

Some affects of fasting on human body are given below.

During Ramadan, the body is dehydrated at rest. However, this dehydration is lesser than the dehydration caused by an aerobics exercise.
The main source of energy during fasting is body fat. However, the metabolism rate slows down because of lesser meals.
You can use this month to maximize metabolism, save and boost lean muscle mass and enhance workout. Having lean mass also means that your metabolic rate will increase ultimately burning more calories at rest.

Nutrition Plan

During the Suhoor time, it is essential to consume as much water as possible to stay hydrated all through the day. Make sure the diet plan includes a combination of proteins, carbohydrates and fats. Include the following foods for Suhoor,

Egg whites
Oatmeal
Protein shake
Dark honey
Fibrous vegetables
Dates

During the Iftar time, the traditional way to break Iftar is the best way to get rehydrated. Dates contain a unique combination of glucose, fructose and potassium. These elements are essential when it comes to rehydration and restoring energy levels. Additionally, dates rehydrate much faster than water itself.

It is also recommended to include some protein in the Iftar meal to boost energy levels. After Iftar, it is best to wait some time to have dinner. Also, have small meals as it tricks the body into increasing the metabolic rate.

After doing all this, do not forget to read the holy book and pray as often as possible. Also, you should share these food related tips with your online Quran tutor and peers.

Workout Plan

While fasting, it is important that you reduce your cardio exercises to 2 days every week. This is an important step to save as much lean muscle mass as possible. Some other workout tips during Ramadan are given below.

Avoid weight training while fasting. This may result in too much muscle breakdown.
Training while dehydrated reduces the strength to carry on with the rest of the day. Studies show that a 3% dehydration of the muscle results in 12% or more loss in the stamina.
Weight train after the Taraweeh prayers. This way, you can ensure that you have consumed enough food and water or your favorite shake essential for muscle growth to stay energetic while working out in the gym.
Cardio exercises should be done before Suhoor. Make sure you consume plenty of water and some coffee or tea before your cardio exercise. It is best to wait around 30 minutes before performing a moderate intensity cardio exercise.

Conclusion

Following the nutritional and workout plan mentioned above will ensure that you stay fit and healthy during the month of Ramadan.

[abu Dawud]

“dhahabadh-dhama’u wab-tallatil ‘uruuqi, wa thabatal arju inshaAllah”

Translation: “The thrist is gone, the veins are moistened and the reward is confirmed, if Allah [Ta'ala] Wills”

[abu Dawud 2:306]

When Muslims break their fast at someone else’s place, they should recite the following dua,

“Aftara ‘indakumus saa’imuna, wa akala ta’aamakumul-abraaru, wasallat ‘alaikumul mala’ikat “

[abu Dawud 3:367, ibn Majah 1:556, an Nasa'i]

Other Duas for the Month of Ramadan

“Allahu Akbar. Allahumma ahillahu ‘alayna bil-amni wal-imaani, was-salaamati, wal-Islami, wat-tawfeeqi lima tuhibbu Rabbana wa tardha. Rabbuna wa RabbukAllahu”Translation: “Allah is the Greatest. O Allah bring us the new moon with security and faith, with peace and in Islam, and in harmony with what our Lord Loves and what pleases Him. Our Lord and your Lord is Allah”

Shaban And Its Importance In Islam

July 13th, 2011 — Islam Religion, Islam and Muslims

Literally, the word Shaban means branch. It can be said that Shaban branches off and leads to other good things. Shaban acts as a connection between the two blessed and sacred months of Rajab and Ramadan. Despite this, the importance of Shaban is often neglected and ignored.

Once, when the Prophet (PBUH) was asked why he fasts so much during this month. The Prophet (PBUH) replied,

“It is a month that people neglect, between Rajab and Ramadan. It is a month in which actions are raised to the Lord of the Worlds and I love for my actions to be raised while I am fasting.”

Shaban And Its Importance In Islam

In this verse, “actions being raised” means that the actions are displayed to Allah during this month. This does not mean that Allah is unaware of our actions otherwise because Allah is the All-Knower and He sees and knows about everything. However, for Muslims this means that the month of Shaban is special because during this month Allah keeps a special tab on the actions of His believers. Also, if you worship Allah, pray regularly, read Quran and straighten out your deeds during this month, it is possible that Allah forgives all your previous wrongdoings.

Importance of Shaban

Importance of Shaban

It is said that Shaban is the important to prepare for Ramadan. All Muslims are recommended to start preparing for Ramadan during Shaban. Muslims should use this month to prepare for fasting, praying and worshipping Allah. It is not recommended to begin fasting during the month of Ramadan without preparation. From a biological point of view as well it is important to be prepared before Ramadan begins. If Muslims prepare themselves for Ramadan beforehand, they will not feel tired and irritable from the lack of food and water during the day. It will allow them to adjust to the new routine very easily.

Also, for all those Muslims who have developed and acquired bad habits during the year, such as waking up late in the morning, it is essential to start quitting those habits. It will be useful when you try to wake up early in the morning to fast and pray to Allah Almighty.

Hazrat Ayesha, the wife of the Prophet (PBUH) said,

“I did not see him fasting in any month more than Sha`ban.”

She also said,

“The month which he loved to fast the most was Sha`ban.”

Upon being asked questions about this month, she said,

“In this month those who are destined to die are recorded for the Angel of Death. I love for my name to be recorded when I am fasting.”

Shaban and Its Rewards

Abu Hurayyah narrates,

“AbdulAziz ibn Muhammad said: Abbad ibn Kathir came to Medina and went to the assembly of al-Ala’. He caught hold of his hand and made him stand and said: O Allah, he narrates a tradition from his father on the authority of AbuHurayrah who reported the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) as saying: When the middle of Sha’ban comes, do not fast. Al-Ala’ said: O Allah, my father narrated this tradition on the authority of AbuHurayrah from the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him).”

Conclusion

Therefore, earning rewards is the duty of Muslims themselves. It is best if they realize their duty and grab every opportunity that comes their way to earn rewards. Therefore, it is your duty to pray and fast and worship Allah during the month of Shaban. It is also your duty to learn Quran and understand its teachings and principles to be a good and true Muslim.

The Prettiest Mosques Of The World

July 6th, 2011 — Islam Religion, Islam and Muslims

Islam has been around for centuries now and Muslims had the opportunity to rule the world with the Islamic way of life. It was during this period that Muslims spread the Quran education all over the world. For some years, Muslims were the torch bearers of literature, science and architect. It is during this rule that you can observe the greatest creations and achievements of Muslims.

Muslims are considered to be the pioneers in major scientific developments and are also known to create buildings and architectural landmarks. Their scientific developments can also be attributed to how the Islamic religion and Quran teachings urged Muslims to search for cues leading them to new discoveries.

Many buildings created during the Muslim rule are now known for their architecture and beauty. Most of these architectural landmarks were the beautiful mosques that Muslims created to worship and pray. To this day, Muslims are known to build beautiful and pretty mosques.

Some of the prettiest mosques of the world are given below.

1. Masjid al Haram

Masjid al Haram or also known as Kabah is located on Makkah, Saudi Arabia. The mosque was built around 2000 BC by Prophet Ibrahim originally. Today it has a capacity of 8,000,000 worshipers and it surrounds the Kabah. It is also considered to be the holiest and most sacred place for the Muslims. It covers an area of 400,800 square meters and has the biggest annual religious gathering in the world. This mosque also has the Hijr-e-Aswad in the mosque and the zamzam water near it. The height of Kabah is 39 feet and 6 inches and it has Italian marble floors. These floors allow absorbing the heat during summer time and converting the coldness into heat during winters.

Islamic Point of View Regarding Shab-e-Barat

June 22nd, 2011 — Islam Religion, Islam and Muslims

In the Islamic culture, Shab-e-Barat has great importance and is celebrated with enthusiasm by Muslims all around the globe. For Muslims, this night has great importance regarding worship as well. Muslims would spend the entire night praying and worshipping, asking and requesting Allah for things that they desire. However, before delving into the customs followed during Shab-e-Barat, it is best to first understand the concept of this day.

The Concept of Shab-e-Barat in Islam

According to Islamic beliefs, on the night of Shab-e-Barat, Allah decides and determines the affairs of the coming year. During the night, Allah determines the destinies of all humans by taking into consideration the deeds of the previous year.

Muslims typically celebrate Shab-e-Barat on the 15th of Shaban, usually around fifteen days before the month of Ramadan begins. This year, Shab-e-Barat will be celebrated on the 17th of July, 2011. The celebration generally includes worshipping Allah all night, asking for His forgiveness and requesting for things that you desire.

According to a Hadith, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said that any individual who fasts for three days during the month of Shabaan and recites durood three times at Iftar, Allah will forgive his sins and will increase his provisions. Additionally, the person will enter Paradise on a female camel on the Day of Judgment.

Dua for Hajj

2011-10-06T21:13:00.000-07:00

In the name of Allah,The most beneficient & merciful. Labbaik Allahumma Labbaik. Labbaik, La Shareek Laka, Labbaik. Innal Hamdah, Wan Nematah, Laka wal Mulk, La Shareek Laka Labbaik.

Here I am at Thy service O Lord, here I am. Here I am at Thy service and Thou hast no partners. Thine alone is All Praise and All Bounty, and Thine alone is The Sovereignty. Thou hast no partners, here I am.
Hajj-e-Baitulla

In the name of Allah, the most compassionate, the Merciful.
And pilgrimage to the House is incumbent upon men for the sake of Allah, (upon) every one who is able to undertake the journey to it; Holy Quran, (3:97)

The word Hajj means to intend, to win over someone by argument and frequently visit someone. As a religious term it refers to the act of worship: circumambulating the Kaaba (Tawaf, praying and performing the other prescribed deeds).

Hajj is the Pilgrimage to Makkah in Islam. Hajj is the fifth of the Five Pillars in Sunni Islam and one of the ten Branches of religion (Obligations of Islam or Furo-e-Deen) in Shia Islam, which takes place during the Islamic month of Dhu al-Hijjah. Entrance to Makkah itself is forbidden to non-Muslims and the entire city is considered a holy site to Islam.

Baitulla is another name for Kaaba, is a sacred house in the center of Masjid-e-Haram in Makkah and Baitulla means House of Allah. Hence Hajj-e-Baytullah, Hajj-e-Baitullah or Hajj-e-Baitulla means Pilgrimage to the House of Allah.

This is the Worship (Ibadat) that becomes obligatory once in a lifetime. Therefore, its conditions, its difficulties and its rewards are unique.

Those who are able to fulfill this obligation are indeed privileged. But this privilege can become a ban instead of a boon if it is misused. And it is easy to misuse it. Misuse takes the form of oblivion of the rules, carelessness in performance of the rites and ignorance of the importance of the rites of Hajj in the living of one's life.

Therefore, the more sincere effort the Haji (Person who performs the Hajj) puts in, the greater the reward, and this Guide is an aid to this sincere effort according to the fatwa of Ayatulla Al-Uzma Agha Seyyid Abul Qassim Al-Musawi Al-Khui (RA).

WHAT IS DENGUE FEVER

2011-10-06T21:09:00.000-07:00

Dengue fever also known as breakbone fever, is an infectious tropical disease caused by the dengue virus. Symptoms include fever, headache, muscle and joint pains, and a characteristic skin rash that is similar to measles. In a small proportion of cases the disease develops into the life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever, resulting in bleeding, low levels of blood platelets and blood plasma leakage, or into dengue shock syndrome, where dangerously low blood pressure occurs.

Dengue is transmitted by several species of mosquito within the genus Aedes, principally A. aegypti. The virus has four different types; infection with one type usually gives lifelong immunity to that type, but only short-term immunity to the others. Subsequent infection with a different type increases the risk of severe complications. As there is no vaccine, prevention is sought by reducing the habitat and the number of mosquitoes and limiting exposure to bites.

The Treatment of acute dengue is supportive & not difficult, using either oral or intravenous rehydration for mild or moderate disease, and intravenous fluids and blood transfusion for more severe cases. The incidence of dengue fever has increased dramatically since the 1960s, with around 50–100 million people infected yearly. Early descriptions of the condition date from 1779, and its viral cause and the transmission were elucidated in the early 20th century. Dengue has become a worldwide problem since the Second World War and is endemic in more than 110 countries. Apart from eliminating the mosquitoes, work is ongoing on a vaccine, as well as medication targeted directly at the virus.

THE MOST USEFUL ZIKAR

2011-01-17T20:22:00.001-08:00

Zikr of Allah

Abu Darda narrated that Rasool Allah said, “Should I not tell you of such a thinga which are the best and purest deeds in the court of your Lord, high in ranks (darajat), better for you then spending gold and silver (in Allah’s path), and better than slaying the neck of the enemy during war? The Sahaba said, “Yes, Oh Rasool Allah! .” He said, “It is Zikr of Allah.” (Tirmizi)

Abu Huraira narrated that Rasool Allah said, “Any gathering in which people sit and do not do Zikr of Allah and do not send Durood upon their Prophet is of loss for them. If Allah wills, give them azab (punishment) and if wills, forgive them.” (Tirmizi)

Abu Huraira narrated that Rasool Allah said, “Allah Tabaraka wa Ta’ala says when a person moves his lips for Zikr of Allah, I am with him. “ (Bukhari)

Abu Huraira narrated that Rasool Allah said, “Allah Tabaraka wa Ta’ala says I am closer to my slave than his supposition of which he keeps of me. And when he/her does Zikr of Allah, I am with him/her. If he does Zikr in his heart, I do his Zikr near MY proximity (closeness) and if he does Zikr in a gathering, I mention him in a gathering Afdhal (better) than it. (Bukhari)

Abu Musa Ash'ari narrated that Rasool Allah said, “He/She who does Zikr of Allah and he/she who doesn’t, their example is of like an alive and a dead. (Bukhari)

Abu Huraira said that Rasool Allah said, “The angels look for those who do Zikr of Allah on the paths. When they find those who are doing Zikr of Allah then they call each other, “Come, your desired has been found.” Then those angels cover those are doing Zikr of Allah up to the skies of this world with their wings. And Allah Rabbul Izzat says about them to those angels “What are my slave doing?” Though Allah knows more than those angels. The angels say, “Those people are doing your Tasbeeh, Tahmeed, and Tamjeed.” Rab Ta’ala says, “Have they seen me?” The angels say, “We swear by your pure Entity, they have not seen you.” Rab Ta’ala says to them, “If they had seen me then what would be their state?” The angels say, “If they could’ve seen you then they would do your Tamjeed and your Tasbeeh even more."

Rab Ta’ala says, “What slaves are asking from me?” The angels say, “They are asking for Jannat from you.” Rab Ta’ala says, “Have they seen Jannat?” The angels say, “We swear by Your Pure Entity, they have not seen Jannat.” Rab Ta’ala says, “If they had seen Jannat then what would be their state?” The angels say, “If these people had seen jannat then their greed, desire, and inclination for it would increase. Rab Ta’ala says, “What else are they doing?” The angels say, “They are seeking refuge.” Rab Ta’ala says, “From what are they seeking refuge?” The angels say, “They are seeking refuge from Hell.” Rab Ta’ala says, “Have they seen Hell?” The angels say, “Oh Rab, we swear by Your Pure Entity, they have not seen it.” Rab Ta’ala, “If they had seen it then what would be their state?” The angels say, “If they had seen it then they would run even further away from it and fear it even more.

Rab Ta’ala says, “angels, Be witnesses that I have forgiven them.” An angel says, “There is one person amongst them who is not part of those who do Zikr, he is there for some necessity of his/her.” Rab Ta’ala says, “These are such people that even those sitting among them are not deprived.” (Bukhari)

Anas narrated that Rasool Allah said, “When you pass by gardens of paradise, eat fruits of them. The Sahaba said, “What are the gardens of Paradise?” He said, “The gatherings of Zikr.” (Tirmizi)

Abu Huraira narrated Abu Saeed Khudri said that Rasool Allah said, “Whenever a Jama'at (a group of people) sits for Zikr of Allah, the angels surround it. Blessing covers that Jama'at. And peace and calm descends on them. And Allah mentions them to the angels present in HIS court. (Muslim)

Ameer Muaviah narrated that the Rasool Allah passed by a Jama'at and asked them, “Why have you gathered here?” Some people of the Jammat replied, “We have gathered here for the Zikr and Hamd of Allah because by guiding us towards Islam He did favor on us. Rasool Allah said, “By Allah, have you gathered only for this (purpose)?” They said, “By Allah, we have gathered here only for such purpose. Rasool Allah said, “I did not give you oath because of any imputation (doubt) rather it is because Jibraeel came to me and told me that Allah Azzawajal boasts of you in the gathering of the angels. (Muslim)

Abdullah Bin Abbas narrated that Rasool Allah said, “The Shaitan sticks to the heart of the child of Adam. When he does Zikr of Allah, he (the Shaitan) runs away from him. And when the child of Adam becomes careless from the Zikr of Allah, the Shaitan begins to put was-wasah (evil suggestions) into his heart. (Bukhari)

Abdullah Bin Umar narrated that Rasool Allah said, “Don’t have a conversation [without] Zikr of Allah. Because talking too much without Zikr of Allah is the reason for the heart’s hardness and wretchedness. And that person becomes distant from Allah in whose heart there is wretchedness. (Tirmizi)

Abudullah Bin Bisr narrated that one person asked, “Ya Rasool Allah! There are many commands on me of Islam. Tell me of such a thing which I may hold on to steadfast. Rasool Allah replied, “Always keep your tongue wet from Zikr of Allah.” (Tirmizi)

Abdullah Bin Bisr narrated that a villager came to the Holy Court of Rasool Allah and asked, “Which man is the best?” Rasool Allah said, “It is the luck and good-fortune of that person whose life is long and his deeds are good.” He asked, “Ya Rasool Allah! Which deed is the best?” Rasool Allah said, “Your tongue be wet from Zikr of Allah when you part from this world. (Tirmizi)

Muaaz bin Jabal narrated that Rasool Allah said, “The people of Jannat will only regret that moment which had been empty of Zikr of Allah.” (Beheqi)

"O Allah! Shower Thy blessings on Hazrat Muhammad ever and ever until Thy blessings are to be showered. Grant Thy bounty and mercy on Muhammad until Thy bounty is granted and mercy is showered. The most selected favours on the Spirit of Muhammad amongst all persons, on the name of Muhammad amongst all names, on the heart of Muhammad amongst all hearts. Thy most bountiful favours on the grave of Muhammad amongst all graves, on the tomb of Muhammad amongst all the bodies, on the clay of Muhammad (tomb) amongst all clays. May Allah shower His blessings on Muhammad the best of all that and on the descendants of Muhammad, on the Companions of Muhammad, on the friends of Muhammad, and on all his family members, O! Merciful Almighty Allah and Great Merciful".

This Salawat is usually recited in the graveyard while paying homage to the deceased. When it is recited, Allah showers His blessings on the deceased. When the sons go to the graveyard they should recite the above Durood Shareef on the graves of their father and mother, and all the parents who have passed away.

18. DUROOD-E-SHIFA
ALLAHUMMA SALLI WA SALLIM WA BAARIK ALA RUHI SAYYIDINA MUHAMMADIN FI ARWAAHI WA SALLI WASALLIM ALA QALBI SAYYIDINA MUHAMMADIN FIL QULUBI WA SALLI WA SALLIM ALA JASADIMUHAMMADIN FIL AJSAADI WA SALLI WA SALLIM ALA QABRI SAYYIDINA MUHAMMADIN FI QUBUR.

"O Allah! Shower Thy blessings on the soul of Muhammad amongst all Souls, on the heart of Muhammad amongst all hearts, and on the body of Muhammad amongst all bodies, and on the grave of Muhammad amongst all graves".

A poor man complained to Hazrat Shahabuddin Ibn Arslan (radi Allahu anhu) about his illness. The disease was incurable. No doctor or physician could even suggest any medicine for his disease. Hazrat Shahabuddin (radi Allahu anhu), who was a very great Saint, listened patiently to this poor man and then told him to recite the above Durood Shareef. The poor man immediately did so and his illness disappeared so quickly as if it was never present. The poor man gladly returned to his house.

19. DUROOD-E-INAAM
ALLAHUMMA SALLI WA SALLIM ALA SAYYIDINA MUHAMMADIW WA ALA AALIHI ADADA IN'AAMIL LAAHI WA IFDAA LIHI.

"O Allah! Shower Thy blessings and peace on Muhammad, our Master, and on his progeny according to the number of Thy rewards and Thy bounties".

Those who wish to visit Madinah Shareef and pay respects to the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) must read this Salawat for 313 times before going to bed. This Durood is the jewel of all Duroods. Its reward is unimaginable.

20. DUROOD-E-AWAL
ALLAHUMMA SALLI ALA SAYYIDINA MUHAMMADIN AFDALI AMBIYAAA'IKA WA AKRAMI AS FIYAAA'IKA MAN FAA DAT MIN NURIHI JAMI'IL ANWAARI WA SAAHIBIL MU'JIZAATI WA SAAHIBIL MAQAAMIL MAHMUDI WA SAYYIDIL AWWALINA WAL AKHIREEN.

"O Allah! Shower Thy beneficence on our Master Muhammad, the most favoured of Thy Prophets and the most honoured of Thy chosen persons, whose radiant life is the source of all light and who is the conferee of miracles and conferee of the most glorious place (Maqaam-e-Mahmood), and who is the leader of the previous and the later".

Those who recite this Durood Shareef reach the first place before Allah Ta'ala. It is for this reason that this Durood is called Durood-e-Awal (First). Those who read this Durood Shareef daily are rewarded abundantly and all their bad habits evaporate. This Salawat fetches the reciter nearer and nearer to Allah Ta'ala and brings forth all kinds of delight.

21. DUROOD-E-MUQADDDAS
ALLAHUMMA SALLI ALA SAYYIDINA MUHAMMADIN HATTA TARDA WA SALLI ALA SAYYIDINA MUHAMMADIN BA'DAR RI DA WA SALLI ALA SAYYIDINA MUHAMMADIN ABADAN ABADAN.

"O Allah! Shower Thy blessings on our Master Muhammad, in such a measure that earns Thy pleasure, and shower Thy blessings on our Master Muhammad exceeding that measure which has earned Thy pleasure, and shower Thy blessings on our Master Muhammad forever and forever".

This is the best Salawat, and if recited regularly, brings one nearer and nearer to Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) in this world as well as in the next.

"O Allah! May Thy grace and peace rest upon Hazrat Muhammad, our Master and our patron, the Wearer of Holy Cap, the one who ascended the Heavens, the rider of the Heavenly Steed and holder of the Flag of Divine Unity, the remover of calamity, epidemic, famine, disease, and pain. His name is written in Divine edict, exalted authorised for intercession and inscribed in the Tablet and Pen.

"He is the leader of Arabs and non-Arabs. His body is the most holy, pure, fragrant, full perfected in purity and luminous in the sanctuary of Kaaba and its precincts. He is the sun of the glorious morning light, and the (full beautiful) moon of the dark night, the chief occupant of the highest seat in Heaven, light of guidance, refuge for the creatures, and lamp in the darkness. Of excellent manner, is the intercessor for mankind, one gifted with generosity and magnanimity. Allah is his protector and Angel Jibrael attends on him frequently. The Heavenly Steed is his conveyance and the glorious ascension to Heavens (to meet his Allah) is his last station in his march onwards, his object is to come in the closest company of his Allah, and this object was successfully achieved the point of destination reached and the goal covered.

"He is the most prominent amongst all the apostles, and the last in the line of the Prophets (no Prophet will come after him. I'sa will come in the capacity of his ambassador), the intercessor of Sinners, Mercy indeed for all the domains of existence, comfort for the lovers and the desired object for the yearning souls, the sun of the gnostics, and the shining lamp for those who travel on the road leading to Allah, the lover of the poor and needy, the leader of the Jinns and all mankind, Prophet of the twin sacred centres (Makkah and Madinah), leader of the two exalted positions (Qiblas, the Kaaba of Mecca and of Jerusalem), our Supporter in both the worlds, honoured with Kaaba Kausaine, the beloved of the two east and the west, the grand father of Hazrat Hassan and Hussain, our Patron and the patron of the Jinns and mankind, father of Hazrat Qassim (his son) Muhammad, son of Abdullah, who is the light of Allah's Light. Therefore, O lovers of light and beauty of Hazrat Muhammad, invoke blessings on him and salute him with worthy salutations."

If anyone wants to see Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) in his dream, then he should recite Durood-e-Taaj on eleven Friday nights continuously and that too on the advancing stages of the moon. The pre-requisites of the Revision of the Durood are as below:

a. Make Wudhu.
b. Put on clean scentful clothes.
c. Face the Qibla and recite Durood for 170 times, then go to bed.

For the sanctity of the soul, one should recite the Durood seven times after Salaatul Fajr, three times after Salaatul Asr and Esha, each day.

And for overcoming the cruel Rulers and enemies, and to come out of the misery of poverty, one should recite Durood for 40 days continuously, 41 times each day. One who wishes to enhance the avenues of economy in abundance, he or she must make it a routine to revise the Durood seven times each day after Salatul Fajr.

Besides all this, Durood-e-Taaj is panacea of all the present day ills and will enable the reciter to pass a happy and peaceful life for ever.

23. DUROOD-E-DA'IM
ALLAHUMMA SALLIALA MUHAMMADIW WA ALA AALI MUHAMMADIN SALAATAN TAKUNU LAKA RIDAW WALIHAQQIHI ADAAA'AW WA A'TIHIL WASILATA WAL MAQAAMAL MAHMUDAL LAZI WA AD TAHU WAJ ZIHI ANNA MA HUWA AHLAHU WA AJ ZIHI ANNA MIN AFDALI MA JAZAITA NABIYYAN AN UMMATIHI WA SALLI ALA JAMI'I IKHWAANIHI MINAN NABBIYINA WAS SAALIHEEN.

"O Allah!

E. A SELECTION OF DUROOD SHAREEFS

All Durood Shareef are equivalent and give full benefits, but some selected and very promptly accepted and favoured Durood Shareefs are the following:

1. DUROOD-E-IBRAHIMI
ALLAHUMMA SALLI ALA MUHAMMADIW WA ALA AALI MUHAMMADIN KAMAA SALLAITA ALA IBRAHIMA WA ALA AALI IBRAHIMA INNAKA HAMIDUM MAJID. ALLAHUMMA BAARIK ALA MUHAMMADIW WA ALA AALI MUHAMMADIN KAMAA BAARAKTA ALA IBRAHIMA WA ALA AALI IBRAHIMA INNAKA HAMIDUM MAJID.

"O Allah, let Your Blessings come upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have blessed Ibrahim and his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. Allah, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have blessed Ibrahim and his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious".

The famous companion of the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim), Hazrat Ka'ab bin Ujrah (radi Allahu anhu), narrates that once it was enquired from Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) as to how blessings should be sent to him. The Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) replied that the blessings be said in the manner (it has been mentioned) above, that is, Durood-e-Ibrahimi.

2. DUROOD-E-NAHARIYA
ALLAHUMMA SALLI ALA SALAWATAN KAMILATAW WA SALLIM SALAAMAN TAAAMAN ALA SAYYIDINA MUHAMMADINIL LAZI TANHALLU BIHIL UQADU WATAN FARIJU BIHIL KURABU WA TUQDA BIHIL HAWA IJU WA TUNAALU BIHIR RAGHAAA'IBU WAHUSNUL KHAWATIMI WA USTASQAAYAL GHAMAMU BIWAJHIHIL KAREEMI WA ALAAA A'LIHI WASAHBIHI FI KULLI LAMHATIW WA NAFSIN BI ADADA KULLI MA'LUMIL LAKA YAAA ALLAHU YAAA ALLAHU YAAA ALLAHU.

"O Allah! Every moment and in every breath, bestow complete and the best blessings and perfect peace which is endless on Muhammad, our master, and on his descendants and his Companions, and may, for His Sake, all our troubles and tortures be over, calamities ended, and all our needs fulfilled, all our cherished desires attained, and good ends vouch-saved, and clouds are laden with water through the glorious countenance of Prophet. The perfect blessings and peace on the Prophet's House, his Family and his Companions every instance in number equal to the count of all things in Thy Knowledge".

Durood-e-Nahariya is a great power. If it is recited daily, it will give such strength and power to the reciter that no one on earth will be able to subdue him. It is a grand success in all the affairs of the world. If this Durood Shareef is recited during days of calamities, Allah Ta'ala will help the reciter from the quarters unknown to the human beings. The reciter will be able to cross every barrier of handicap safely and soundly. In every worldly affair, in every trial and tribulation, success will be his net income.

A. THE EXCELLENCE OF DUROOD SHAREEF FOR THE UMMAH AS EXPLAINED IN THE HOLY QURAN AND AHADITH

This book contains valuable information about Durood Shareef (Salawat) on Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim).

The message of Allah Ta'ala to Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) has come down to us in the form of the Holy Quran and the teachings of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) have reached us in the form of the Ahadith. Let us see what both the Holy Quran and Ahadith say about Durood Shareef (Salawat):

Innal llaha wa Malaa'ikatahu Yu salluna allan nabiyi.

Ya Ayyuhal lazeena aamanu sallu alaihi wasallimu tasleema.

Almighty Allah says: "Surely Allah and His Angels send blessings on the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim). O you who believe! Send Blessings (Durood) and Salutations (Salaams) on the Prophet with worthy Salutation".(Surah al-Ahzab: 56)

In this verse of the Holy Quran, Almighty Allah, His Malaa'ikah and the Muslims have been mentioned as sending Durood upon Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim). So, Durood Shareef is actually "a Du'a in praise of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim)."

Hazrat Anas (radi Allahu anhu) narrates that Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) said: "He who reads a single Durood upon me, Almighty Allah blesses him ten times, ten of his sins are forgiven, and he is increased ten times in stages (internally). (Mishkaat)

Hazrat Abdullah ibn Ma'sud (radi Allahu anhu) also narrates that Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) said: "On the Day of Qiyamah, the closest to me from among the people will be those who have read the most amount of Durood Shareef". (Tirmidhi)

It is now evident that the recitation of Durood Shareef (Salawat) is in perfect obedience to the Divine Command and in complete conformity with the teachings of Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) of Islam. There is no scope to choose anything else when we have with us the words of Allah Ta'ala and His Apostle, Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim).

B. WHAT IS DUROOD SHAREEF AND THE IMPORTANCE OF DUROOD SHAREEF

Divine blessings on Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) is the highest and the most meritorious act in our Deen. This "Divine Blessings" is called Durood Shareef.

When Almighty Allah sends Durood and Salaams upon Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim), He is actually blessing him. When the Malaa'ikah and the Muslims send Durood and Salaams to Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim), they are actually showing Almighty Allah their respect for the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim).

Muslims hope that, through the blessings of the Durood and Salaams, Almighty Allah will forgive them of their sins and increase their status in this world and in the Aakirah. The Malaa'ikah hope that Almighty Allah will increase their status.

Durood is a sure means of Allah Ta'ala granting blessings, peace, prosperity and favours of great magnitude on one who recites Durood Shareef on the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim). The reciter of Durood Shareef receives all the benefits in this world and utmost gain in the next world with addition to the love of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim).

The invocation of Blessings on the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) is styled in Arabic as "Salawat", in Persian as "Durood", and in Urdu as "Salawat-o-Salaam".

The regular recitation of Durood Shareef on Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) lifts up our hearts on to a plane of comprehension where we gaze in our new found peace and moral armour.

The reciter of Durood Shareef will, after some time, come to realise by himself that it is the spontaneous outpouring of his heart before the Great Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) of Islam, whose love and attachment is needed to get all the present day problems solved and obtain mercy in the next world.

The more Durood Shareef we recite, the greater the gain and benefit will be achieved in both the worlds. Hazrat Shaikh-e-Akbar Mo'inuddin ibn Arabi (radi Allahu anhu) has stated that, "Those who claim to love and revere the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) should increase their recital of the Durood Shareef in patience and perseverance until, through the mercy of Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim), they have the opportunity of witnessing his blessed countenance".

The special and exclusive aspect of this prayer is that Durood Shareef is immediately accepted by Allah Ta'ala. No one can doubt its acceptance, as Durood Shareef is being recited by Allah Ta'ala too. Not only this, but He has revealed this secret in the Holy Quran by saying:

Wara fa'na laka zikrah
"Have I not exalted thy name."

Muslims are a very fortunate people. Allah Ta'ala chose for them the name of Islam as a religion, declared to be comprehensive and final for mankind. The person chose to deliver this message in this specific form and extra-ordinary style of love and hope was the most beloved of Allah Ta'ala and became the Light of Divinity to be shed upon the entire universe. This Light devastated all the domains of darkness and depression. By reciting Durood Shareef (Salawat) we invite Light and drive away all darkness from our inner soul. Our mind becomes soft and love saturated. If there is softness in everything, it tends beauty to it. People become ugly owing to lack of this essential beauty of the inner part of the mind. This ugliness cannot be glossed over by any amount of cosmetics. It is the Durood Shareef on the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) which works wonders.

In the same manner, the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) taught us Durood Shareef to attain salvation, perfect peace and maximum gain in this world as well as the next. The soul is the soil where the faith of Allah is to be implanted firmly and faithfully which requires continuous recitation of Durood Shareef to thrive and flourish.

We have been told by Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) that Durood Shareef is itself Light and when Light enters the soul every aspiration is achieved and every goal is won. Nothing remains thereafter to worry about.

Human spirit today is depressed everywhere and mankind has come to the edge of destruction, decay and devastation. Everyone is engulfed in untold miseries and tragedies of a very great magnitude. Troubles and tortures, pain, poverty, hunger, ill-health, frustrations and accidents have broken the back of a human being. All this can evaporate with the recitation of Durood Shareef on the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) who has clearly proclaimed that Durood Shareef is the panacea of all ills and that if any one comes across a calamity he should recite Durood Shareef in the maximum number. Allah Ta'ala has promised that if anyone recites Durood only once, He showers ten blessings on the reciter immediately.

It is narrated that once Hazrat Musa (alaihis salaam) walked a very long distance in the desert during summer at noon. He fainted due to thirst and hunger. After a while, when he regained his consciousness, Allah Ta'ala sent Hazrat Jibrael (alaihis salaam) to go and inquire from Hazrat Musa (alaihis salaam) if he was thirsty or not. Hazrat Musa (alaihis salaam) replied that he was thirsty. Allah Ta'ala told him that the thirst on the Day of Judgement will be a million times more than what Hazrat Moosa (alaihis salaam) experienced. Hazrat Musa (alaihis salaam) was told that if he wished to get rid of that thirst on the hottest Day of Judgement, he would have to do one thing. When Hazrat Musa (alaihis salaam) enquired as to what should be done, Allah Ta'ala told him that he should recite Durood Shareef in abundance on His last Prophet, Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim). Hazrat Musa (alaihis salaam) thanked Allah Ta'ala and immediately began reciting Durood Shareef on the Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim).

From the above fact it is quite clear that Allah Ta'ala has given orders even to his Ambiya to recite Salawat on the last and final Prophet of Islam, and that Durood Shareef is not only panacea and a solution to the ills of this world but in the next too.

In another story, it is narrated that when Hazrat Adam (alaihis salaam) saw Bibi Hawa (radi Allahu anha) he wanted to be close to her, but Allah Ta'ala sent Hazrat Jibrael (alaihis salaam) to stop him. Allah Ta'ala told him that if he wanted to take Bibi Hawa (radi Allahu anha) as his wife, he should first pay Mahr (dowry). On his inquiry as to what the Mahr was, Allah Ta'ala told Hazrat Jibrael (alaihis salaam) to inform him that the best way of paying the dowry is for him to recite Durood Shareef 3 times on His last Prophet, Hazrat Muhammad (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim). Hazrat Adam (alaihis salaam) did so, Bibi Hawa (radi Allahu anha) was granted to him as his legal and legitimate wife.

The highest blessings which Islam has conferred on man is the concept of Tauheed or Unity of Allah in its purest form. This has been furnished to mankind through Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim), the last of the Prophets. It is a cardinal duty of every Muslim man and woman, young and old to entertain the highest respect, regard, love and esteem for the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) and his family. It should be clear that obedience to Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) is always to be charged with intense love and highest regard for him, for it is through love and esteem that truth can be comprehended and communion with the Creator can be vouch-safed. In fact, love is the motive force, reverence dissolves and implicit obedience to the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) which is the natural outcome. It is therefore incumbent on those who love him, to pray to Allah Ta'ala and His Angels in wishing for him peace according to the Divine Command. This will reshape the life which is otherwise infested with turmoil. The reciter will get countless and matchless benefits in both the Worlds and can claim to be the lover of Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim).

As Muslims we should recite Durood Shareef in the Arabic language. Islam seeks to create a unified outlook and it is in the Arabic language alone which welds all Muslims into one great brotherhood. Besides, Arabic is the language of Heaven, it is the language of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim), it is the language of the Angels and it is the language of Hazrat Abu-Bakr, Hazrat Umar, Hazrat Uthman and Hazrat Ali (radi Allahu anhuma).

The daily recitation of Durood Shareef has a tremendous effect on the human head, heart, mind and person. It purifies thoughts and intensifies actions. It makes passages for perfect peace and personal satisfaction.

Mozilla Uncages Latest Firefox Beta
( Page 1 of 2 )

The third release candidate for the upcoming Firefox 1.5 browser has been posted for download as the open-source Mozilla Foundation strives to attract new users.

The open-source Mozilla Foundation released the latest iteration of its Firefox Web browsing software on Friday, promising faster navigation, increased customization and improved security in the third beta version of its upcoming application.

Labelled Firefox 1.5 Release Candidate 3, the new installment of the Web browsing software claims many of the same types of improvements as the last several test versions of the application.

Those additions include faster navigation, with upgrades to back and forward button performance, as well as drag-and-drop reordering for browser tabs, and improvements in general usability, such as more descriptive error pages, a further redesigned options menu, RSS feed discovery capabilities and a "safe mode" for enhanced protection against potential threats.

In addition to launching the new beta, Mozilla representatives confirmed that the group hopes to introduce the final version of Firefox 1.5 sometime during the last week of November, or within the first several days of December.

The second beta version of the browser was released during the first week of October. Mozilla said previously that it plans to adopt a more aggressive product introduction cycle in 2006, with Firefox 2 launching by mid-year, and Firefox 3 expected out some time during the first quarter of 2007.

As part of the Release Candidate 3 introduction, Mozilla also added new automated updating features for the software in an effort to streamline transitions to future editions of the browser.

Mozilla said that update notifications have also been made more prominent in the software, including the addition of pop-ups that inform users of new features.

Mozilla has said that it plans to begin releasing regularly scheduled security and stability updates for Firefox 1.5 every six to eight weeks after the final version of the application is introduced.

Other improvements promised in Release Candidate 3 include improved pop-up ad blocking tools, the addition of the Answers.com site to the browsers search engine listings, extended capabilities for reporting Web sites that do not work with the software and new support for Apple Inc.s Mac OS X operating system, including profile migration from the Safari and Mac Internet Explorer browsers.

For more technical users, Firefox 1.5 Beta 3 pledges improved accessibility support, which includes DHTML accessibility, security enhancements and new support for Web standards—including SVG, CSS 2 and CSS 3, and JavaScript 1.6, Mozilla said.

Since launching just over one year ago, Firefox has garnered significant attention for attracting over 100 million downloads and siphoning market share away from Microsoft Corp.s dominant Explorer browser.

According to Onestat.com, which analyzes Internet traffic, Firefoxs slice of the worldwide browser market is currently holding at 11 percent, compared to Internet Explorers 85 percent market share.

Once a hotly contended market with well-known players such as Netscape and America Online Inc. challenging Microsoft for dominance, competition for Explorer had tailed off noticeably over the last five years before the introduction of Firefox in 2004.

Mozilla representatives said that customers are responding to the notion of again having a choice in which browsers they may use to go online.

"Weve had a year to collect feedback from our users, and weve seen that people are really responding to having a choice again," said Paul Kim, director of product marketing for Mozilla.

"Were really focusing on improving the overall user experience; you wont see a lot of changes in the user interface as we dont want to add features just for the sake of doing so, but we want to make sure that we integrate the best of the user feedback we receive, and refine other areas of the product."

A New Version of Firefox Available for Free Download

Several fixes waiting for you

By Bogdan Popa, Security and Search Engines Editor

18th of July 2007, 13:03 GMT

Adjust text size:

The famous web-browser Firefox received a new important update, the 2.0.0.5 release being available for download for any user. The latest version of the application comes with a lot of fixes that are meant to improve the security of the users browsing the Internet with Firefox. Secunia rated all the flaws as highly critical saying the only solution to avoid successful exploitation is to install the latest version of the program. Mozilla's browser is currently involved into an important

battle with the rival built by Microsoft, Internet Explorer that tries to steal the same category of users.

The security updates are many, starting with simple errors and ending with highly critical vulnerabilities that might allow an attacker control an affected system. For example, some problems with the Javascript engine can execute dangerous codes able to enhance attackers' attempts to infiltrate into a system.

"Various errors in the browser engine can be exploited to cause memory corruption and potentially to execute arbitrary code," security company Secunia wrote about one of the flaws. "An error in the "addEventListener" and "setTimeout" methods can be exploited to inject script into another site's context, circumventing the browser's same-origin policy."

A few weeks ago, the Mozilla officials announced that Firefox 2.0.0.5 will include some new fixes for a vulnerability that caused an interesting dispute between them and the folks from Microsoft. As you might have heard, the hackers discovered a security hole that can be exploited through Internet Explorer and launched using Firefox. The two companies accused each other, saying their products are not vulnerable and are not requiring an update. However, the Mozilla representatives decided to implement a patch into this latest release to address the security hole.

If you want to download the latest version of Mozilla Firefox, you can take is straight from Softpedia using this link.

New Version of Firefox Web Browser Due Next Week

Thursday, June 12, 2008

NEW YORK — A new version of the Firefox Web browser is scheduled for release Tuesday with improvements in security, speed and design.

Many of the enhancements in Firefox 3 involve bookmarks. The new version lets Web surfers add keywords, or tags, to sort bookmarks by topic.

A new "Places" feature lets users quickly access sites they recently bookmarked or tagged and pages they visit frequently but haven't bookmarked.

There's also a new star button for easily adding sites to your bookmark list — similar to what's already available on Microsoft Corp.'s Internet Explorer 7 browser.

• Click here for FOXNews.com's Personal Technology Center.

Other new features include the ability to resume downloads midway if the connection is interrupted and an updated password manager that doesn't disrupt the log-in process.

In a nod to the growing use of Web-based e-mail, the browser can be set to launch Yahoo Inc.'s service when clicking a "mailto" link in a Web page, the ones you might come across clicking on a name or a "contact us" link.

Stories

Previously, such links could only open a standalone, desktop e-mail program.

Yahoo is the only Web service initially supported. To use rivals like Google Inc.'s Gmail and Microsoft Corp.'s Hotmail, developers of those services will have to enable that capability first.

Firefox also will start blocking rather than simply warning about sites known to engage in "phishing" scams that try to trick users into revealing passwords and other sensitive information. The new version adds protection from sites known to distribute viruses and other malicious software.

The list of suspicious sites come from Google Inc. and StopBadware.org, a project headed by legal scholars at Harvard and Oxford universities.

Security researchers who need access to problem sites can manually turn the feature off.

Firefox 3 also offers speed and design improvements — the back button is now larger than the forward button, for instance, because people tend to return to a previous page more often, said Mike Schroepfer, the project's vice president of engineering.

Firefox is the No. 2 Web browser behind Microsoft Corp.'s Internet Explorer. It comes from Mozilla, an open-source community in which thousands of people, mostly volunteers, collectively develop free products.

Mozilla has been developing Firefox 3 for nearly three years and has been publicly testing it since November for Windows, Mac and Linux computers.

Its supporters are organizing launch parties around the world next week, and Mozilla is trying to set a world record for most software downloads in a 24-hour period.

Microsoft is currently testing Internet Explorer 8, while Opera Software ASA released Opera 9.5 on Thursday.

INTRODUCTION

Al Hamdulillahi Rabbil 'Aalameen, Was Salaatu Was Salaamu 'Alaa Sayyidil Mursaleen, Sayyidinaa Wa Shafee-e-naa Wa Nabiyy-e-naa Wa Mawlaanaa Muhammadiw Wa 'Alaa Aalihi Wa Sahbihi Wa Awliyaa-e-he Wa Walidihish Shaykh Sayyid Abdul Qaadir el Jilaani, Wa Walidihish Shaykh Sayyid Mubaarik 'Ali Shah Jilaani Ajma'een. Bi Rahmatika Yaa Arhamar Rahimeem.

This collection of Isnaads for Dua's and Darood is taken from a booklet in Urdu entitled ' Ganjeena Akbaari' published Kutub Khaana ' Ishaatul Islaam. These Daroods and Du'as may also be found in the well known book 'Faqri Majmu'a Wazaa'eef' as well as in the books 'Yazdah Surah Shaeef', and 'Majmu'a Wazaa'eef'. The Isnaads found in this booklet [presently in your hands] are English renderings of isnaads found in Ganjeena Akbaari although Isnaads for these Dua's and Daroods are also found in the above cited works as well some what in greater detail. The renderings were done by Mr. Jawhar Jafri of New Port News Virginia.
Many of the Dua's and Daroods have medicinal usages and as such the editor is not qualified to give permission for their use. Those wishing to benefit from the medicinal aspects or to use them as a Ta'weez must seek permission from a competent Shaykh whom Allahu ta 'ala has given permission to let flow the Shifaa [healing] and protective [Ta'weez] powers of these various Dua's and Daroods. Be aware that using various Dua's and Names of Allahu ta 'ala [Asmaa ul Husnaa] without the expert guidance of a Qualified Doctor of the Heart [qalb] is tantamount to prescribing medicine for oneself without knowing which medicine to choose for the illness. It is generally known by all those whom Allahu ta 'ala has given hikmah that only qualified physicians know how to heal. If one were suffering from a physical malady such as heart disease or cancer one would go to a physician who specializes in healing those maladies bi ithnillah [with Allahu ta 'ala's permission].
We pray that Allahu ta 'ala accept the efforts of the editor and illuminate the blessed face of El Imam Shaykh Muhyideen Sayyid Mubaarik 'Ali Shah Jilaani Hashimi our Perfect Mursheed who first introduced us to these various Daroods and Dua's at the beginning of the 15th century Hijra. These Dua's and Daroods have served to heal many of our illnesses and have brought comfort to our hearts and homes. Hazrat Shaykh also made available to us audio cassettes of several of these Daroods and Dua's by which many were healed and were able to learn these Dua's. Our children began to recite these Dua's and Daroods and our hearts soared.
We pray that all those who were given permission to recite these Dua's will continue to recite. Those who have given up reciting should once again go back to reciting [taking the medicine]. We ask Allah Subhaana Hoo to send the Thawaab [Esaale Sawaab] of this booklet on the souls of Sayyidina Rasuli Akram Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim and Ahli Bayt Ridhwaan Allahu ta 'ala alaihim aj'maeen and all those who have been fortunate enough to have gone forth to meet their Rabb in the Path Fee Sabee lillah and in the suhbah [companionship] of our Blessed Shaykh, Ameen.

Darood Taj
There are limitless benefits for this Blessed Darood Sharif [ Salaat 'alan Nabi Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim] and they cannot all be written out in this short booklet. A few are mentioned.
If some one wants to see Sayyidina Rasuli Akram Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim, then at the height of the month on Yawmul Jumu'ah [Friday] after salaatul Ishaa having performed wudhu and putting on Attar he should recite this Darood Taj seventy [70] times and sleep after that. If he does this for eleven [11] nights, Inshaa Allahu ta 'ala he will see Rasulullah Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim.
For clearing his heart, he should recite this Darood Taj after Salaatul Fajr seven times, and again, three times after Salaatul Asr and Salaatul 'Ishaa respectively. For repelling the Magic of Jinn and the Shayateen, and to be safe from an epidemic and any other diseases, he recites it eleven times.
For being safe from enemies and the Hasid [jealousy] of the Haasideen and the oppression of oppressive rulers, and to be rid of sadness and grief, he should recite this Darood Taj for forty [40] nights after Salaatul 'Ishaa forty one [41] times.

Darood Lakhi
Hazrat Sultan Mahmood al Ghaznawi Rahmatullah alaih, used to recite as a wazeefah [ma'moolaat] with pure intentions and a lot of love this Darood one lakh times. Because of reading this long Darood one hundred thousand times, the whole day would go by and he wouldn't have much time for the administration of government. One night he saw Sayyidina Rasuli Akram Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim, who informed Hazrat Sultan Mahmood Rahmatullah alaih that the Ummat was is need of his work and the administration of government is dependent on Hazrat Sultan Mahmood al Ghaznawi. Rasuli Akram Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim then informed the Sultan that if he recites this Darood Sharif after Salaatul Fajr once, he will receive the thawaab of having recited it one lakh times and that with the barakah of this Darood he will have lots of love for Rasuli Akram Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim, and if he recites it more than once he will get the thawab of one lakh [ one hundred thousand ] times each time he does so.
Hazrat Sultan Mahmood al Ghaznawi Rahmatullah alaih, because of this order of Sayyidina Rasuli Akram Sall Allahu alaihi wa Sallim recited this Darood once thereafter. He said to all the people based on this riwayah, that anyone from among the Ummati Muhammadi who recites it once will receive the thawaab of having recited this blessed Darood Lakhi one hundred thousand times!

Darood Hazaari
Who ever recites this Darood Hazaari in the Qabrastan [Muslim grave yard] three times, Allahu ta 'ala will take away the punishment of the grave of eighty [80] years. And whoever recites it four times in the Qabrastan Allah Subhaana Hoo will take away the Athaab ul Quboor [punishment of the grave] until the day of judgement. Who ever recites it twenty four times Allah Subhaana Hoo will send a thousand angels who will look over, oversee and protect his parents in the grave till the Day of Judgement.

Ahad Naamah
Sayyidina Rasuli Akram Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim said : "Whoever recites this Ahad Naamah one in his lifetime, he will be taken away with Imaan [true faith] in his heart." And Rasulullah Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim says that he guarantees that this person will go to Jannah [Paradise]. Hazrat Jaabir Rathia Allahu anh says that he heard Rasulullah Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim say: " Man has three thousand [3000] types of diseases in his body, One thousand of these diseases doctors have medicine for and they can treat these. two thousand are such that there is no medicine to cure them. Whoever will keep this Ahad Naamah with them Allah [Subhaana Hoo] will save him from the two thousand [2000] diseases. Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq Rathia Allahu anh says, " Whoever keeps this Ahad Naamah with him will be safe from snakes and scorpions, and magic will have no effect on him and people who think bad of him will not be able to say anything bad about him. Hazrat Khaatuna Jannat Rathi Allahu ta 'ala anhaa says she heard Sayyidina Rasuli Akram Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim say: "Whoever will use this Ahad Naamah in a time of difficulty his need will be fulfilled". Whoever will write this Ahad Naamah with Misk [musk] and Zafran [saffron] and drinks it, washing it with water, his aql [intelligence] will improve, and whoever memorizes it or some of it and whatever he memorizes he does not forget, that will also help his memory.
Hazrat Amir ul Mu'mineen [the isnaad doesn't say which] Rathia Allahu anhu says that whoever reads this Ahad Naamah and give the thawaab to someone who is deceased, the grave of such a person will be lighted from east to west. If someone puts it in the grave, the deceased person will get the thawaab of Prophets. When Munkar and Nakir [the questioning angels] come to question him their questions will be made easy on such a person. Allah Subhaana Hoo will take the Athaab [chastisement] away from his grave one lakh yards [one hundred thousand] to the right, forty thousand yards to the left, forty thousand yards from his head and forty thousand yards from his feet. The grave will be so wide that the eye will not be able to comprehend.
Allah Subhaana Hoo has given this property to this Ahad Naamah, If it is kept in a grave on Yawm ul Qiyaamah [the Day of Standing] the person will rise from the grave as if it is an angel and he will wear the garments of Jannah [Paradise]. He will have Buraaq for riding and Allah Subhaana Hoo will say to this person: "I have an Ahad [covenant] with you that you will be happy because you read this Ahad Naamah in the world every day. I am going to fulfill this promise today and I am going to put a crown on your head and I am going to give you the garments of Jannah. I am going to give you Buraaq to ride on. There will be no questioning from you and you will be sent to Jannah without any chastisement and I will also forgive any person who you ask me to forgive." And he will be sent to Jannah in this manner. His face will be lit like the full moon on the fourteenth night. The people of Mizaan ul Hashr will say that this person must be a prophet or a Wali or one of the Salihoon. The Angels guarding Jannah will say: " No, this person is not a Prophet, he is just a slave of Allah Subhaana Hoo from the Ummah of Rasulullah Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim. The only reason his face is lit like this and why he is wearing the garments of Jannah is because he used to keep the Ahad Naamah with him and this is the Noor and Barakah of this Ahad Naamah, that he is in this blessed position." The people will say: "We were in the world for such and such a time. It is sad that we did not use Ahad Naamah at that time, and we were sort of away from it."

Qasidah Ghausia of Hazrat Ghausul Thakalayn [Sirra min sirra Hoo]
There are a lot of properties associated with this Blessed Qasidah Ghauthiyah of Hadhrat Muhyuddin Sheikh Sayyid Abdul Qadir Jilaani. Among them, the person that recites this Qasida Ghausia eleven [11] times every day will be near and dear to Allahu Subhaana Hoo. Secondly whoever recites this Qasidah Ghausia, his memory will be strengthened so much so that whatever he reads or hears he will remember. Thirdly, by reading this Qasidah Ghausia will be able learn the Arabic language easily. Fourthly, whoever recites this Qasidah Ghausia for forty days for a particular purpose he will be able to fulfill that. Fifthly, if a person keeps this Qasidah Ghausia in from of his eyes and reads it three times a day, and if he doesn't know how to read, he listens to it recitation and doesn't separate from this Blessed Qasidah Ghausia, and has a strong belief and love for what he is listening to or reciting, then he will see Hazrat Ghausul Thakalayn Sirra min Sirra Hoo. By reciting this Blessed Qasidah Ghausia, a nisbah [ spiritual connection] is formed with the sincere reciter and Hazrat Ghausul Thakalayn Sirra min Sirra Hoo.

Dua Ganjul Arsh
One day Sayyidina Rasuli Akram Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim was sitting in the Masjid and Hazrat Jibreel Alaihi Salaam brought this Dua' to Rasulullah Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim. The riwaaya of this Dua' is very long. The gist of the isnaad is given.
Hazrat Jibreel Alaihi Salaam said that in addition to a lot of Fadhaail [favors] in this Dua', the reciter gets three things from Allahu ta 'ala. Firstly, Allah Subhaana Hoo gives him rizq [livelihood] from the ghayb [unknown sources], and thirdly, whoever recites this Dua' his enemies will not be able to overcome him. He will be superior to them. The person who does jihad will have the upper hand. He goes on a journey, he will come back with all his things. He will be safe from the shaat of shaytaan na'oootho Billahi min ash shaytanir rajeem. He will be safe from all the bad things and insects and other things on earth and al the bad things in the skies. If a person writes this Dua' out and drinks it using rain water, he will get help for various diseases. If a person suffers from an unknown illness for which the worldly doctors can find no cure and he writes it [with permission of a True Shaykh or his Khalifa etc.] with Zafran [saffron] and washes it and drinks it for twenty one [21] days he will get health from that Bi Ithnillah. If he doesn't have children, he will get children with the help of this Dua'.
Once a criminal was to be beheaded. He was brought before the Sultan in Madinatul Munawwarah and given the death penalty. The executioner tried his sword three times but was unable to kill him. He then tried drowning him unsuccessfully. He tried several ways to kill him to no avail. The Sultan then asked the criminal why the executioner was unable to execute him. The criminal informed the Sultan that he had a Ta'weez, Dua Ganjul 'Arsh and that from the barakah of the Kalaam [words] of this Dua' Ganjul 'Arsh Allahu Subhaana Hoo was saving him. The ruler took this Ta'weez from him, freed him and used to recite Dua' Ganjul 'Arsh from that time on.

Dua' Nur
One day Sayyidina Rasuli Akram Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim was sitting in the Masjid in Madinatul Munawwarah and Hazrat Jibreel Alaihi Salaam came to him and said: "Allah Subhaana wa ta 'ala has sent His salaams to you and He has also sent a gift of the Dua' Nur to you and your Ummah. This Dua' was not sent to the earlier Ummah's but it has been sent to your Ummah so that this can be a means of forgiveness [maghfirah] for this Ummah. A person who recites or keeps this Dua with him will live a good life in this world and he will die with Imaan[ true faith] On the Day of Judgement his face will shine like the full moon of the fourteenth night. When the other people see this person on the Day of Judgement they will think he is a Prophet or Wali [friend] of Allahu ta 'ala. They will be told that this person is one of the Ummati Muhammadi and that this distinction has been given to him by virtue of his having recited Dua' Nur. Now it is incumbent upon all the Muslims in the Ummati Muhammadi to spread this Dua and not be stingy. Whoever recites this Dua will not be under any debt and will not be sick. He will always prosper and will be healthy. He will be away from sorrow and cruelty of the cruel rulers. If he goes for Jihad he will be victorious. The swords, arrows and guns will not effect him. If he goes on a journey he will come back safe and sound. Whoever keeps this Dua' with him Allahu Subhaana wa ta 'ala will bestow his Rahmah on such a person.

Dua' Jamilah
Whoever recites the Names of Allahu ta 'ala contained in this Blessed Dua' Jamilahafter Salaatul Fajr, gets the thawaab as though he performed Hajj one hundred [100] times of the same blessings of Hazrat Adam Safiy Allah Alaihi Salaam. And whoever recites it after Salaatul Thur it is as if he has performed three hundred [300] Hajj with the same barakah as Hazrat Ibraheem Khaleel Allah Alaihi Salaam. The one who recites it after Salaatul Asr received the reward of having performed one hundred [100] Hajj with the same barakah as Hazrat Isa Ruhullah Alaihi Salaam. The one who recites it after Salaatul Maghrib receives a reward as though he performed Hajj seven hundred [700] times with the same barakah [blessings] of Hazrat Yunus Alaihi Salaam. Who ever recites it after Salaat ul 'Ishaa receives a reward equivalent to one thousand [1000] Hajj as that performed by Hazrat Musa Kaleemullah Alaihi Salaam. The one who recites it after Tahajjud it is as though he has performed one hundred thousand [100.000] Hajj receiving the barakah of the Hajj as performed By Sayyidina Rasuli Akram Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim. He also receives the barakah of reciting of having freed a thousand hungry people and of having given water to a thousand thirsty persons. Whoever doubts this has committed a sin. In another riwaayah it is said that one day Rasulullah Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim was sitting in the Masjid and all of a sudden Hazrat Jibreel Alaihi Salaam came into the Masjid and said: " Yaa Rasulullah, [Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim] Yaa Khaatimul Ambiyaa [Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim]. Allah Subhaana wa ta 'ala sends Salaams on you and He said that this Dua' Jamilah has been sent for you and your Ummah.." Sayyidina Rasuli Akram Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim asked him: " O my brother Jibreel, tell me the thawaab in this Dua for me and my Ummat." Hazrat Jibreel Alaihi Salaam said: " Yaa Muhammad [Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim] , the person who recites this Dua or keeps it with him, even if it is his nature to commit sins, by the barakah of this Dua' Allah Subhaana Hoo will forgive him."

Dua Daafi at Ta'oon
Sayyidina Rasuli Akram Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim has said that from the diseases like plague, seek the protection of Allahu ta 'ala, fear Allahu ta 'ala and ask for His Rahmah [mercy] and Maghfirah [forgiveness] and recite istighfaar and recite this Dua'.

Dua' Fataah Muqaddimah

If a person has a lawsuit or trial and he desires to be successful in that he should make wudhu and recite this Dua as often as possible. No matter how bad this problem may be, Allahu Subhaana Hoo will make him successful. This Dua' can be recited without any limitations at any place, whether it is in the court or anywhere else.

Dua' Siryaani

The Elders of Deen say that this Dua' Siryaani is very close to Allahu ta 'ala and He likes it very much. There are several ways to recite it. If there is any difficulty, a person can recite it for forty days with wudhu after Salat ul Fajr or Salaat ul 'Isha. Allahu Subhaana Hoo will grant his wishes. The person who recites this Dua' often will not be dependent on any other person. There will be barakah in his livelihood from Allahu ta 'Ala and Allahu Subhaana Hoo will be pleased with this person. Darood Sharif should be recited three or five times before and after this Dua.

Dua' Ashura

O Muslims remember that Allahu ta ala has given you tawfiq in that you start the New Year with Muharram ul Haraam and Allahu ta has given some special favors in this month. Several ahadith have been transmitted about the fadhaail [benefits] of this month. In one hadith Sayyidina Rasuli Akram Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim has said that the best sawm [fast] after the month of Ramadhan is the sawm of Muharram. And the best salaat after fardh salaat is Salaatul Tahajjud. Rasulullah Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim has said that whoever fasts the first day of Muharram and the last day of Dhul Hijjah, he has started the New Year with fasting and has spent the last year fasting. These two fasts will nullify the sins of the past fifty [50] years.
The Tenth of Muharram is called Yawmul Ashura. There a many barakah in fasting on this day. In the beginning this fast was fardh [mandatory] on the Muslims. Sayyidina Rasuli Akram Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim ordered to fast on this particular day. When Allahu ta 'ala made fasting the month of Ramadhan fardh, the fast of Muharram became nafl [optional]. Hazrat Ibn 'Abaas Rathi Allahu ta 'ala anh says that Rasulullah Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim said: "There is no superiority of fasting on any particular day over another except the fasting during the month of Ramadhan and on the Tenth of Muharram."
It is Mustahaab [highly meritorious] to fast on the ninth and tenth of Muharram. Some 'Ulama [True Islamic Scholars] have said that fasting only on the Tenth of Muharram is makruh [frowned upon\blameworthy] because it is like the fast of the Yahudi [Jews]. If he fast on the eleventh it is better. One should engage in 'Ibaadah on the night of Ashura. He will receive much thawaab from it. One should recite Dua Ashura on the Tenth of Muharram having taken a ghusl [complete bath rinsing mouth and nose in the process] the day before. He should recite four nawaafil rakaats with one niyyat [intentions]. In every rakaat, after Al Hamd Sharif [Suratul Fatihah] , he should recite Suratul Ikhlaas fifteen times and after taslim [salaams] he should recite this Dua' ten times.
The thaawaab of the salaat [esaale sawaab] should be sent on the arwaah [souls] of Sayyidayn wa Shaahidayn Imaams Hazrat Hasan and Hazrat Hussayn Ridhwaan Allahu ta 'ala alaihim ajma'een. It will bring the reciter a lot of thawaab as well. Because of the reciter having done this, Sayyidayn wa Shahidayn wa Imamayn Hassan and Husayn will do Shifaa [intercede] for him on the Day of Judgement. The adaab of this particular day is to make ghusl, fast and break fast, make salaat, make Dua', visit the sick, be kind to orphans and make peace between to disputants.
One should cry from fear of Allah, use kohl, give lots of food to the family, put on some attar, guide people who have gone astray. To recite Qur'an Sharif, to recite Kalima Tamjeed seventy [70] times. One should visit the Qabrastan [cemetery], met with friend and relatives, serve parents and abstain from family relationship with the spouse.

Dua' Nisful Sha'baan

The method of reciting this Dua is to read Suratul Yaseen three times after Salaatul Maghrib. After the first recitation the supplicant should recite this Dua' and ask for longevity of life. After the second recitation of Suratul Yaseen, he should recites this Dua' and ask to be safe from all kinds of illness and bad things. After the third recitation of Suratul Yaseen, the supplicant should read the Dua' and ask for freedom from dependency on other people

Dua Aday Qardh

In Hadith Sharif a person informed Rasulullah Sall Allahu wa Sallim that he was heavily in debt. Rasulullah Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim said: " Should I teach you a Dua' that when you recite it Allahu ta 'ala will rid you of all the worries and you will be able to pay your debt?" This person said: "Yes Rasulullah [ Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim]." He was instructed to recite this Dua' morning and evening. This person says that when he did that, Allahu ta 'ala freed him of his worries and he was able to pay his debts.

Conclusion

Dua' and Darood are at the very root of our Deen and as such should not be neglected. Asking Allahu ta 'ala to send Salaat Alan Nabi {Darood Sharif] develops love in the heart for Sayyidina Rasuli Akram Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim. All the true believers sacrifice themselves and their possessions in the way Fi Sabeelillah hoping to please Allahu ta 'ala. Dua' and Darood are weapons in the arsenal of those who strive.
Once again care should be taken against using the medicinal formulas and Ta'weez without the permission of a True Shakyh. . Our attempt is to acquaint the seeker with the richness of one aspect of Islamic Culture and Science.
Any mistakes found herein are solely the responsibility of the editor who begs the pardon of the 'Ulama and the pious Shaykhs. Any benefits one may derive from reading this book are due to Allahu ta 'ala covering the faults of this servant. Any good found in the editor are simply the end result of having the good fortune of being in the Khidmat [service] of Ahli Bayt. A Talibs competency if there is any is most certainly a miracle [karaamah] of the Blessed Wali of Allah at whose feet he receives the ultimate love, affection and tender care. We pray that Allahu ta 'ala continue to allow us to be true to our Din and always remain those who love Him, Sayyidina Rasuli Akram Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim and Ahli Bayt.

Wa Sall Allahu ta' ala 'alaa Khairi Khalqihi Sayyidil Ambiyaa-e-wal Mursaleen, Shafee-'e-naa wa Nabiyy-e-naa wa Mawlaanaa Muhammadiw wa 'alaa Aalihi wa Ashaabihi wa Ahli Baytihi wa Awliyaaihi wa Walidihis Shaykh Sayyid Abdul Qaadir al Jilaani, wa Walidihish Shaykh Sayyid Mubaarik 'Ali Shah Jilaani Hashimi wa Baarik wa Sallim.
