 اسم الله الرحمن الرحيم السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته أخوه أخوه أخوه أخوه مع الوصول لأيالي القدر النات of power as some like to call it or call them I would like to give you a brief description of the importance of these nights and then go into explaining some of the general acts which one is required to do in these holy nights first of all it is very important brothers and sisters that we engage in the supplication and repentance towards Allah SWT from the common عمال and acts of these nights which you can practice during the three nights the 19th the 21st and the 23rd the first is the wash is the major evolution that is called you do a wash just after the Adhan of Maghrib of that night you go have a shower and your intention is that I am doing a wash purification for Lailة تل قدر to prepare myself to stand before Allah SWT and to supplicate to speak to my Creator there are those who have been away from Allah SWT during the past year now it is their chance you stand before Allah and say oh Allah forgive me so prepare yourself do a wash and have the intention that you will stay awake during that night during Lailة تل قدر it is advisable that you stay awake until the morning you engage in supplication there are many supplications we have received from أهل البيت عليهم السلام as it is narrated in the books of دعاء for example the kitab the book مفاتيح الجنان which is written and compiled by شيخ عباس القمني رضوان الله عليه and other books and of course you can go online and search the أعمال there are many narrations that explain to you the أعمال and the supplications that need to be practiced so the first being the غسل the purification of oneself and the intention to stay awake إحياء either in supplicating the Holy Quran supplicating reciting دعاء reciting زيارة or even studying studying the knowledge of أهل البيت عليهم السلام we have narrations some part of a part of إحياء a part of keeping awake and worshipping الله سبحانه وتعالى on the Lailة القدر could be spent in educating oneself in the knowledge of أهل البيت in the beliefs in the تفسير of the Holy Quran narrated and derived by أهل البيت's information and knowledge and one can learn the حقام of his religion for example حقام of صلاح حقام of fasting you can educate your family you can educate your children you can spend hours of Lailة القدر by doing that this is one of the best things you can do for example it is recommended that you recite 100 or so ركعة of صلاح of prayers the third act is seeking forgiveness from الله سبحانه وتعالى and repenting towards him by repeating the phrase أستغفر الله وأتوب إليك 100 times or more the more the merrier take a prayer a bead a سبحة sit down on your prayer mat or if you are sitting for example at home or engaging in other activities and you are at the same time able to supplicate towards الله سبحانه وتعالى repeat أستغفر الله وأتوب إليك أستغفر الله ربي وأتوب إليك these supplications these will elevate our spirits and elevate us to be closer to الله سبحانه وتعالى the fourth general act that one should practice during these three nights is the رفع المصاحف you open the Holy Quran there is a specific manner there is a specific way a procedure that you will have to go through and there are specific supplications that you have to recite you open the Holy Quran in front of your face you sit towards the Ka'bah towards Makkah on your prayer mat and you recite this du'a اللهم إني أصبحت وعمسي to عبداللك until the rest of the supplication you submit towards الله سبحانه وتعالى all of your actions during that year and then you place the Holy Quran on top of your head and you mention the names of the 14 infallibles you start with the name of Allah سبحانه وتعالى you repeat it 10 times بكياء الله 10 times and then you move on to the name of the Holy Prophet بمحمدين and then بعليين بفاطمة بلحساني بلحسيني and then until the end of the names of the 14 infallibles when you reach the name of Imam Al-Mahdi عليه السلام you stand and you supplicate 10 times the name of the Imam عليه السلام بالحجتي صلوات الله عليه and afterwards straight afterwards you ask الله سبحانه وتعالى what you want your hajad and the first and foremost hajad and the needs we want from الله سبحانه وتعالى is to hasten the reappearance of the Imam the awaited Imam our awaited Imam is in غيبة we want Allah سبحانه وتعالى to make this year إن شاء الله the year that our awaited Imam is going to reappear the fifth act is to pay صدق to pay charity we always remember the ones who are needy during the year but in that night we pay صدق for the life and the soul of Imam Al-Mahdi عليه السلام for his protection for his well-being for the well-being of the Ulama those who serve the community and those who are the representatives of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and representatives of the Imams those who guide us towards Islam and guide us towards أهل البيت and for the for the well-being of ourselves and the and the believers wherever they may be صدق brothers and sisters paying charity is very important the next act that it is widely encouraged to be practiced during these nights is the visitation of Imam Al-Hussein صلى الله عليه وسلم عليه زيارة to Imam Al-Hussein ليلة القدر and if one can be present next to the grave and burial site of Imam Al-Hussein عليه السلام that is the barrier why because we have a narration we have a narration from Imam صادق عليه السلام that says that the one that is that is able to be present ليلة القدر by the grave and by the burial site of Imam Al-Hussein عليه السلام no doubtedly الله سبحانه وتعالى will forgive them all of their sins so all of our sins all of our mistakes will be forgiven that night for the sole reason that we have visited Imam Al-Hussein عليه السلام there is a specific زيار a specific دعاء and supplication allocated to Imam Al-Hussein for that specific night and the brothers and sisters are encouraged to at least once in their lifetime to be شربلا on the night of قدر the night of power the next أمل or the next act that is advisable is the recitation of دعاء جوشن الكبير this is a very beautiful very beautiful supplication that during the supplication during the recitation of this دعاء you will come to know and understand some of the names of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and some of the attributions allocated to Allah سبحانه وتعالى I don't see that Allah سبحانه وتعالى has brought down upon his mankind دعاء يعودة is one of the other supplications that is advisable for one to recite and then توركع صلاة توركع similar to the صلاة of the morning prayer صلاة الصبح you recite after صورة الحمدو صورة التوحيد seven times so توركع after صورة الحمد صورة الفاتحة you recite صورة التوحيد seven times and then after finishing off you do تصبيحة الزحراء صلاة الله عليها and then after that you do استغفار seventy times you say استغفر الله واتوب عليه seventy times of course Insha'Allah we will mention there are specific acts to these nights the 19th the 21st and the 23rd Insha'Allah we will mention them in another episode وسلام عليكم رحمة الله وبركاته
