(Common Aa'maal of the Laylat ul Qadr)

No night, throughout the year, is on a level with this night.  On account of its merits, surpassing excellence, superiority, and the superabundant bounties, benefits and favors this night brings for the mankind it leaves behind every night known for blessings.  As revealed in the Holy Book the Night of  "QADR" is better than a thousand months, therefore, Aa'maal done in these nights are better than the Aa'maal done in one thousand months.
 In this month the "Spirit" (Rooh) together with one thousand Angels descend and that which has been decided is shown to the "Living Imam."
 

It must be kept in mind that the days are as auspicious as the nights, so recite the Holy Quran and dua'as of Imam Ali ibn Abi Taalib (A.S.) and Imam Ali bin Husayn al Zaynul Aabideen (A.S.) during the daytime on the 19th, 21st, and 23rd.

Common Aa'maal of the "Laylatul Qadr"

 As either the 19th, 21st, or the 23rd night of this month is the "Laylatul Qadr", there are Aa'maal which should be done during all this said nights.
 
  1.  Have a bath just before sunset.

  2.  Recite a 2 Rak'at Salaat as under:
   a)  In every Rak'at, after the recitation of Surah Al Fatiha, recite Surah Al-Ikhlaas 7 times,

ASTAGHFIRALLAH WA ATOOBU ILAYHEE
 
3.  Open the Holy Quran and place it before you and say:     ALLAAHUMMA INNEE AS-ALUKA BIKITAABIKAL MUNZALI WA MAA FEEHI WA FEEHIS-MUKAL AKBAR WAS-MAA-UKAL HUSNAH WA MAA YUKHAAFU WA YURJAA AN TAJ-A'LANEE MIN U'TAQAA-IKA MINAN NAAR
{ O Allah I beseech Thee to include me among those who have been set free from the Hellfire, in the name of Thy revealed Book and that which is in it, and in it there is that which warns and gives hope.}
(Then invoke Allah to fulfill your legitimate desires.)

4.  Keep the Holy Quran on your head and say:

  7.  Recite Dua'a "Jawshan Kabeer"

  8.  Pray a 100 Rak'at Salaat as under:
   a)  In every rakat, after the recitation of Surah Al-Faatiha, recite Surah Al-Ikhlaas 10 times.
 b)  Kaf-a'mi (R.A.) reports that Imam Ali ibni Hussayn Zaynal Abideen (A.S.) used to recite the following dua'a in Qiyaam, Rukoo and Sajdah of every Rakat.
 
"O Allah I have come to the end of the day as an insignificant and                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               humble servant in thy bondage.  It is not possible for me to direct the course of that which is useful for me or that which is harmful for me, nor it is in control to prevent the evil that may take hold of me.  I have brought this as a proof of my helplessness which I confess before Thee because of my lack of energy and want of means; therefore, send blessings on Muhammad and on the Children of Muhammad and let come true the promise Thou made with me and with all the faithful men and the faithful women that in this night Thy forgiveness would be available to us.  Make complete that which Though has given me because I am Thy servant- a humble destitute in misery, weak, broken, and forsaken.
 O Allah let me not forget to praise Thee for that which Thou has bestowed on me, and for the favor Thou showed me by giving free gifts; and let me not lose hope of getting Thy favorable answer, be it that there is delay in the midst of gain or loss, hardship or ease, security or instability, prosperity or misery, (but) Thou hears the supplication at last."
 
Once someone asked the Holy Prophet (S.A.) what to ask for from Allah in the "Night of Qadr" if he got a chance. The Holy Prophet (S.A.) advised him to beseech Allah for his deliverance (on the Day of Judgment).

  {O Thy One who is (Ever existing) supreme being and was there before any and everything, then (after that) He created all things.  He is eternal and all that has been created is mortal. O that One like unto Him there is nothing.  O that One who is such that no one in the high heavens, nor on the low earth’s, nor above, below and in between, worship anyone other than Him as a God.  Praise be to Thee.  It is not possible to count up, remember and narrate Thy praise in all its dimensions. Thou alone can do it. Therefore send blessings on Muhammad and on the Children of Muhammad, blessing that no one other than Thou has the capacity to count, remember and narrate its meaning and true purpose}
