Aamal in Jamadi al Akhirah

Text and Translation

Sayyid Ibn Tawus has mentioned that, at any time in the month of Jumada al-Akhirah, it is recommended to offer a four unit prayer each two alone. In the first unit, Surah al-Faatehah is recited once, Ayah al-Kursi once, and Surah al-Qadr repeated twenty-five times. In the second unit, Surah al-Faatehah is recited once, Surah al-Takathur (No. 102) once, and Surah al-Tawheed repeated twenty-five times. In the third unit, Surah al-Faatehah is recited once, Surah al-Kafirun (No. 109) once, and Surah al-Falaq (No. 113) repeated twenty-five times. In the fourth unit, Surah al-Faatehah is recited once, Surah al-Nasr (No. 110) once, and Surah al-Nas (No. 114) repeated twenty-five times. After the accomplishment of the four units, it is recommended to repeat the following doxological prayer seventy times:

سُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ وَ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَ اللّٰهُ اَكْبَرُ

SUBHAANAL LAAHI WAL HAMDU LILLAAHI WA LAA ILAAHA ILLAL LAAHU WAL LAAHU AKBAR

All glory be to Allah, all praise be to Allah, there is no god save Allah, and Allah is the Greatest.

The following invocation of blessings may be repeated seven times, too:

اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ

ALLAAHUMMA SALLI A'LAA MUHAMMADIN WA AALI MUHAMMAD

O Allah, send blessings to Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad.

After that, the following imploration is repeated three times:

اَللّٰهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ

ALLAAHUMMAGHFIR LILMU'MINEENA WAL MU'MINAAT

O Allah, (please do) forgive the believing men and women.

After that, one should prostrate and repeat the following three times:

يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّوْمُ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْاِكْرَامِ يَا اَللّٰهُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا رَحِيْمُ يَاۤ اَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِيْنَ

YAA HAYYU YAA QAYYOOMU YAA ZAL JALAALI WAL IKRAAMI YAA ALLAAHU YAA RAHMAANU YAA RAHEEMU YAA ARHAMAR RAAHIMEEN

O Ever-living! O Self-Subsisting! O Lord of majesty and honor! O All-beneficent! O All-merciful! O most Merciful of all those who show mercy!

Then, one may pray Almighty Allah for granting one’s requests.

If one does all this, he, as well as his property, wife, sons, religion, and worldly affairs, will be saved up to the next year. If he dies during that year, he will be rewarded as martyred.
