Wirid (continued) and Jama'ah (MM 6/9/08)

Munyatul Musolli 6th Sept 2008

After finishing the doa (Allahumma inni as-aluka muujiba…), Nabi (saw) used to recite the mu’awizatain (surahs al-Falaq and an-Naas).

[Specifically for Subuh and Maghrib, he recited this 3 times:

رَضِيتُ بِاللّٰهِ رَبَّاوَبِالإِسلامِ دِينَاوَبِمُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيَّا
]

Then this 3 times:

اللَّهُمَّ أَجِرنَا مِنَ النَّارِ

and this 3 times:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسأَلُكَ الجَنَّةَ

Next he said this 3 times:

أَعُوذُبِكَلِمَاتِ اللّٰهِ التّامَّاتِ مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ

and this 3 times:

بِسمِ اللّٰهِ الَّذِي لاَ يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَيْءٌ فِي الأَرضِ وَلاَ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ العَلِيمُ

Next Rasulullah (saw) this 3 times:

اللَّهُمَّ اَنتَ رَبِي لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ اَنتَ خَلَقتَنِي وَ أَنا عَبدُكَ وَأَنا عَلَى عَهدِكَ وَوَعدِكَ مَااستَطَعتُ
أَعُوذُبِكَ مِن شَّرِّمَا صَنَعتُ أَبُوءُ بِنِعمَتِكَ عَلَى وأَبُوءُلَكَ بِذَنبِي
فَاغْفِرلِي فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَغفِرُالذُنُوبَ إِلاَّ أَنتَ

Extra Wirid After Solah
And it is appropriate for us to recite the following aurad due to their immense benefit.

[ This wirid would ensure the reciter a good ending at the time of death (husnul khatimah). Recite 3x after Subuh and Maghrib:

سُبحَانَ الدَّاءِمِ القَاءِمِ سُبحَانَ القَاءمِ الدَّاءِمِ
سُبحَانَ الحَيَّ القَيُّومِ سُبحَانَ اللّٰهِ العَظِيمِ وَ بِحَمدِهِ
سُبحَان المَلِكِ القُدُّوس سُبحَانَ رَبِّ المَلاَءِكَةِ وَالرُّوحِ
]

Recite 3x:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُبِكَ مِنَ المَكرِ وَالإِسْتِدْرَاجِ

[ And read 4 times “istighfar al-‘Arif al-Amjad as-Syed Syarif ‘Abdullah bin al-‘Alawi al-Haddad ‘alaihi minallahi tawalla wal-amdad” after Maghrib, again for husnul khatimah:

أَستَغفِرُاللَٰهَ العَظِيمَ الَّذِي لاَءِلٰهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ الرَّحمَانُ الرَّحِيمُ
الحَيُّ القَيُّومُ الَّذِي لاَ يَمُوتُ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ رَبِّ اغْفِرلِي
]

‘Arif al-Bakri said whoever recited this salawat once in his lifetime will be safeguarded from Hellfire, and guaranteed a husnul khatimah.

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ الفَاتِح لِمَا أُغلِقَ وَالخَاتِمِ لِمَاسَبَقَ
وَالنَّاصِرِالحَقَّ بِالحَقِّ وَالهَادِي إِلَى صِرَاطِكَ المُستَقِيمِ
صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحبِهِ حَقَّ قَدرِهِ وَمِقدَارِهِ العَظِيمِ

[ As written by Sidi Muhammad Ghausullah in “Jauhar” , a person reciting the following 70 times on the day of ‘Asyura,:

حَسبِيَ اللّٰهُ وَنِعمَ الوَكِيلُ نِعمَ المَولَى وَنِعمَ النَّصِيرُ

and followed by the following du’a 7 times, it is assured that he will not die that year. If he was predestined to die, then he would not be inspired to read it:

سُبحَانَ اللّٰهِ مِلءَ المِيزَانِ وَمُنتَهَى العِلمِ وَمَبلَغَ الرِّضَى وَزِنَةَ العَرشِ
لاَ مَلجَأ وَلاَمَنجَا مِنَ اللّٰهِ إِلاَّ إِلَيْهِ سُبحَانَ اللّٰهِ عَدَدَ الشَّفعِ وَالوِترِ
وَعَدَدَ كَلِمَاتِهِ التَّامَّاتِ كُلِّهَا أَسأَلُكَ السَّلاَمَةَ بِرَحمَتِكَ يَا أَرحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
وَلاَحَولَ وَلاَقُوَّةَ إِلاَّبِاللّٰهِ العَلِيِّ العَظِيمِ وَهُوَ حَسبِي وَنِعمَ الوَكِيلُ
نِعمَ المَولَى وَنِعمَ النَّصِيرُ
وَصَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَى نَبِيِّنَا خَيرِ خَلقِهِ سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ وَصَحبِهِ أَجمَعِينَ
]

[
More wirid follows. In his risalah ‘Mujarabaat’, al-‘Arif billah Sidi as-Sanusi (may Allah benefit us with his barakah) said “whoever recite this du’a every day and night, he would not be wounded by an arrow or by a sword, would not be troubled by a foe, would feel no pain, and would not die. If it was his destiny to die, then Allah would make him forget to recite it”. The du’a is:

بِسمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحمٰنِ الرَّحيمِ وَصَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ وَصَحبِهِ
وَسَلِّم تَسلِيمًا دَاءِمًا حَرَستُ نَفسِي وَأَهلِي وَمَالِي وَمَاحَضَرَنِي أَوْ غَابَ عَنِّي
بِالحَيِّ القَيُّومِ الَّذِي لاَيَمُوتُ وَأَلجَأْتُ ظَهرِي فِي حِفظِي ذٰلِكَ لِلحَيِّ القَيُّومِ
وَ أَصبَحتُ (وَأَمسَيْتُ) فِي جِوَرِاللّٰهِ الَّذِي لاَيُرَامُ وَلاَيُضَامُ وَلايُستَبَاحُ وَفِي
ذِمَّتِهِ وَضَمَانِهِ الَّذِي لاَيَخفِرُ ضَمَانَ عَبدِهِ وَاسْتَمسَكتُ بِالعُروَةِ الوُثقَى
رَبِّي وَرَبِّ كُلِّ شَيْءِوَرَبِّ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالأَرضِ لاَإِلٰهَ إِلاَّهُوَ
فَاتَّخِذهُ وَكِيلاً تَوَكَّلتُ عَلَى اللّٰهِ وَاعتَصَمتُ بِاللّٰهِ
وَفَوَّضتُ أَمرِي إِلَى اللّٰهِ نِعمَ القَادِرُاللّٰهُ
فَاللّٰهُ خَيْرٌ حَافِظًاوَهُوَ أَرحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ
إِنَّ وَلِيَّيَ اللُّهُ الَّذِي نَزَّلَ الكِتَابَ وَهُوَ يَتَولَّى الصَّالِحِينَ
وَصَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ وَصَحبِهِ وَسَلِّم تَسلِيمًا
عَدَدَ خَلقِهِ وَرَضَاءَنَفسِهِ وَزِنَةَ عَرشِهِ وَدَوَامَ مُلكِهِ
وَمِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ
٭ لَقَد جَاءَكُم رَسولٌ مِن أَنفُسِكُم عَزِيزٌ عَلَيْهِ مَاعَنِتكُم
حَرِصٌ عَلَيْكُم بِالمُؤْمِنِينَ رَءُوفٌ رَحِيمٌ فَإِن تَوَلَّوا فَقُل حَسبِيَ
اللّٰهُ لاَإِلٰهَ إِلاَّهُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلتُ وَهُوَ رَبُّ العَرشِ العَظِيمِ

And repeat 7 times

…٭ لَقَد جَاءَكُم

Virtues of Solah in a Congregation

It his highly encouraged to perform solah in a congregation (jama’ah). As mentioned in a hadith, solah in a jama’ah is rewarded 27 times better than solah performed alone. It is like investing in a business that yields exceptionally high return. What better is that the capital outlay is so cheap.

A person who takes jama’ah lightly is considered not serious with his religion. Some ulama consider solah in jama’ah is ‘fardu kifayah’, and skipping it intentionally warrants a severe punishment from the authority. Some ulama also say that a person who lives close to a masjid has no option but to perform solah with the jama’ah in the masjid.

Solah in a congregation is like water in a container. The larger the jama’ah, the larger quantity of water. If some impurity (najis) falls into it, the water would absorb away the foreign color or smell, and there’s no (noticeable) changes. Compare this to water in little container, small amount of najis already render the water unusable.

Satan also is stronger against a person praying alone. Since reward for your solah is directly proportional to degree of khusyu’, you don’t stand much chance to reap a 100% reward. In contrast, solah in jama’ah is always a perfect 10 regardless of how focused you are.

Commented Ustaz Zakaria:

• “A’uzubikalimaatillaahi taammaat…” also recommended to be recited prior to takbiratul-ihram.
• Salawat al-Fatih by ‘Arif al-Bakri should be recited daily.
• Laqad jaa-akum to be recited 7 times in the morning, and 7 times afternoon. It is a multi-purpose ayah.
• Allah will always help those who have established relationship with Him.
• Ustaz Zakaria recites doa as-Sanusi daily. He has a “general” ijaza for own practice only.
• In do’a as-Sanusi, say ‘asbahtu / amsaitu” as per time of the day (morning/afternoon respectively).
• Imam Nawawi’s (rh) position on solah in jama’ah – Fardu Kifayah.

Wallahu a'lam
