Night of A'amaal
Introduction
The Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.& h.f.) had said that during the night of 15th Shaban the Almighty takes decisions in the matters of sustenance, life and death and welfare of the people. Next to the “Night of Qadr” the night of 15th Shaban is the most auspicious night (also known as “Night of Baraat”). According to the Imam Mohammad Ibn Ali Al Baqer (p.b.u.h.) and Jaa’far Ibn Mohammad Al Sadeq (p.b.u.h.) the Almighty Allah has promised to fulfill every legitimate desire put forward to Him tonight. During this night Allah (swt) bestows on HIS people from HIS bounty & forgives them out of HIS grace & generosity .Of the blessings of this night is that, at the dawn of this night, was born the Leader of the Time Imam e Zaman (a.t.f.s.) in Samarra -Iraq in the yr 255 A.H . Almighty Allah has chosen this night for the Ahlolbayt, in the same way as He has chosen the Qadr Night for our Prophet—peace be upon him and his Family.

اَللّـهُمَّ بِحَقِّ لَيْلَتِنا وَمَوْلُودِها، وَحُجَّتِكَ وَمَوْعُودِها، الَّتي قَرَنْتَ اِلى فَضْلِها، فَضْلاً فَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَتُكَ صِدْقاً وَعَدْلاً لا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِماتِكَ، وَلا مُعَقِّبَ لاِياتِكَ، نُورُكَ الْمُتَاَلِّقُ، وَضِياؤُكَ الْمُشْرِقُ، وَالْعَلَمُ النُّورُ في طَخْياءِ الدَّيْجُورِ، الْغائِبُ الْمَسْتُورُ، جَلَّ مَوْلِدُهُ وَكَرمَ مَحْتِدُهُ، وَالْمَلائِكَةُ شُهَّدُهُ، وَاللهُ ناصِرُهُ وَمُؤَيِّدُهُ، اِذا آن ميعادُهُ، وَالْمَلائِكَةُ اَمْدادُهُ، سَيْفُ الله الَّذي لا يَنْبُو، وَنُورُهُ الَّذي لا يَخْبُو، وَذُو الْحِلْمِ الَّذي لا يَصْبُو، مَدارُ الَّدهْرِ، وَنَواميسُ الْعَصْرِ، وَوُلاةُ الاَْمْرِ، وَالْمُنَزَّلُ عَلَيْهِمْ ما يَتَنَزَّلُ في لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ، وَاَصْحابُ الْحَشْرِ وَالنَّشْرِ، تَراجِمَةَ وَحْيِهِ، وَوُلاةُ اَمْرِهِ وَنَهْيِهِ، اَللّـهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلى خاتِمِهم وَقائِمِهِمْ الْمَسْتُورِ عَوالِمِهِمْ، اَللّـهُمَّ وَاَدْرِكَ بِنا أَيّامَهُ وَظُهُورَهُ وَقِيامَهُ، وَاجْعَلْنا مِنْ اَنْصارِهِ، وَاقْرِنْ ثارَنا بِثارِهِ، وَاكْتُبْنا في اَعْوانِهِ وَخُلَصائِهِ، وَاَحْيِنا في دَوْلَتِهِ ناعِمينَ، وَبِصُحْبَتِهِ غانِمينَ وَبِحَقِّهِ قائِمينَ، وَمِنَ السُّوءِ سالِمينَ، يا اَرْحَمَ الرّاحِمينَ، وَالْحَمْدُ للهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمينَ وَصَلَواتُهُ عَلى سَيِّدِنا مُحَمَّد خاتَمِ النَّبِيّينَ وَالْمُرْسَلينَ، وَعَلى اَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ الصّادِقينَ وَعِتْرَتِهَ النّاطِقينَ، وَالْعَنْ جَميعَ الظّالِمينَ، واحْكُمْ بَيْنَنا وَبَيْنَهُمْ يا اَحْكَمَ الْحاكِمينَ .
O my Allah for the sake of this
night we are now in, for the sake of he who was born tonight, Thy decisive
argument,
Thy “promise”, that Thou joined with it as a favor to keep alive its
superiority, so Thou fulfilled Thy words truly and justly; no one can change Thy
Words nor obscure Thy signs.
Thy Light, soft, pleasant and caressing, Thy splendor, had come in view bright
and brilliant, for the “Bright sigh”, (so far) invisible and hidden in the
obscurity of the darkness, the covering had been taken off, his arrival in this
world was the basis of all kindness, the Angels stood witness.
Almighty Allah will help him and support him when the promise (the event of the
beginning of his reign) come true, the Angels will be among his troops, (he will
be) a fatal blow from Allah that will never miss the aim a light from Him that
will never grow dim, a gentle matured disposition that will never jeopardize the
truth.
The motive and reason of the course of events, the honor and estimation of time,
the “Ulil—Amr” (in charge of Allah’s affairs).
Accompany that which comes down in the “Grand Night” the controllers of the Day
of Judgment and resurrection, interpreters of the “Revelations”, and those who
make known what to do and what not to do.
O Allah send blessing on their seal and representative, un seeable to their
people, make his days, his return, his time, reach maturity, (let us be with
him), as his helpers, let us be his attacking comrades to hunt up and eliminate
the beasts (in human shapes), register our names as his supporters and sincere
friends, bring us to life again in his reign, gentle and loving, happy and
satisfied in his company, and steadfast in his cause, free from sins, O the Most
Merciful! (All) praise is for Allah, the Lords of the worlds! His blessings be
on our Chief, Muhammad, the Last Prophet and Messenger, and on his dependable
“Ahlul Bayt”, his truth—revealing children, and condemn all the oppressors and
keep back from evil they unleash at us, O the Best Ruler!

Absolute one. O he who has not given birth nor was He born, and there is none
equal to Him. Bless Muhammad and his family, and forgive me, have mercy on me,

sustenance. For surely, on this night, every affair is decreed, and You provide
sustenance to whomever You please from your creation. So provide me, for You are
the bets of the providers. And You have said, and You are the best of those who
say and utter, "And ask Allah from His Bounty" So I ask You from Your Bounty,
and You only I seek, and on the son of Your Prophet I lean, in You I have hope,
then have mercy on me, O Most Merciful of the Merciful.

O Allah, grant us a part of Your fear, that acts as a barrier between us and Your disobedience, Your obedience, that helps us achieve Your pleasure, the certainty that makes the miseries of the world seem insignificant. O Allah, make us enjoy, our hearing, our sight, our strength as long as You Keep us alive. Make us take rise against those who oppress us, and help us against those who show animosity to us. Place not our miseries in our religion, and let not this world be our biggest concern, nor the extent of our knowledge. And do not appoint over us one who has no mercy on us, by your mercy, O Most Merciful of the Merciful.
اَللّـهُمَّ اِنّي اِلَيْكَ فَقيرٌ، وَمِنْ عَذاِبكَ خائِفٌ مُسْتَجيرٌ،
اَللّـهُمَّ لا تُبَدِّلِ اسمي، وَلا تُغَيِّرْ جِسْمي، وَلاتَجْهَدْ بَلائي،
وَلاتُشْمِتْ بي اَعْدائي، اَعُوذُ بِعَفْوِكَ مِنْ عِقابِكَ، وَاَعُوذُ
بِرَحْمَتِكَ مِنْ عَذابِكَ، وَاَعُوذُ بِرِضاكَ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ، وَاعُوذُ بِكَ
مِنْكَ، جَلَّ ثَناؤُكَ، اَنْتَ كَما اَثْنَيْتَ عَلى نَفْسِكَ وَفَوْقَ مايَقُولُ

O my Allah! I am, before Thee a needy, afraid of Thy displeasure, but hopeful of receiving Thy protection.
O'My Allah do not substitute my name (from the list of the faithful), nor let my body (material aspects) undergo a change, nor put me to severe test and trial, nor subject me to the enemy’s ridicule.
I take refuge with Thy forgiveness to avoid Thy retribution, I take refuge with Thy mercy to avoid Thy punishment, I take refuge with Thy indulgence to avoid Thy displeasure, I take refuge with Thee from Thee, Glorious and sublime is Thy praise as Thou praises Thyself, but above and beyond that which the best orators say.

اَنْتَ اللهُ لا اِلـهَ إِلاّ اَنْتَ، اَمُتُّ اِلَيْكَ بِلا اِلـهَ إِلاّ اَنْتَ،

اِلَيْهِ فَرَحِمْتَهُ وَسَمِعْتَ دُعاءَهُ فَاَجَبْتَهُ، وَعَلِمْتَ اسْتِقالَتَهُ
فَاَقَلْتَهُ، وَتَجاوَزْتَ عَنْ سالِفِ خَطيئَتِهِ وَعَظيمِ جَريرَتِهِ، فَقَدِ

الاْزدِيادِ في مَعْصِيَتِكَ، وَحَبِّبْ اِلَيَّ طاعَتَكَ وَما يُقَرِّبُني مِنْكَ

عُقُوبَتِكَ، وَاغْفِر لِيَ الَّذنْبَ الَّذي يَحْبِسُ عَلَيَّ الْخُلُقَ،
وَيُضَيِّقُ عَليَّ الرِّزْقَ، حَتى اَقُومَ بِصالِحِ رِضاكَ، وَاَنْعَمَ بِجَزيلِ
عَطائِكَ، وَاَسْعَدَ بِسابِغِ نَعْمائِكَ، فَقَدْ لُذْتُ بِحَرَمِكَ، وَتَعَرَّضْتُ
لِكَرَمِكَ، واَسْتَعَذْتُ بِعَفْوِكَ مِنْ عُقُوبَتِكَ، وَبِحِلْمِكَ مِنْ غَضَبِكَ،
فَجُدْ بِما سَأَلْتُكَ وَاَنِلْ مَا الَْتمَسْتُ مِنْكَ، اَساَلُكَ بِكَ لا بِشَيء
هُوَ اَعْظَمُ مِنْكَ.
O He to whom the bondmen turn to in the event of urgent important matters; and unto whom run for help the people when the misfortune strikes!
O He who knows the hidden as well as the evident! O He who is not unaware of the bias of the suspicious mind and the clever activity of the fanciful deviating intellect!
O Lord of the cosmos and the creatures dwelling therein! O He who exercises full authority over the domain of the heavens and the earths! Thou art Allah, There is no God save Thou, I stride apace unto Thee with
“There is no god save Thou” (on my lips), therefore O "There is no god save Thou”, treat me tonight like the one whom Thou paid attention, took pity and heard his prayer, and, aware of his trembling, tolerated and overlooked his past misdeeds and may mistakes to give answer to his cry of help, I surrender myself to Thee along with my transgressions and make a request to please keep my defects undisclosed.
O my Allah put me again in good condition (because) Thou art Generous and kind, take off the loads of my errors (because) Thou art loving and oft-forgiving, cover me with Thy mercy tonight (because) Thou shows generosity in abundance, let me be tonight among Thy friends whom Thou elected to obey Thee, when Thou selected to worship Thee, and kept them sincerely attached and committed to Thee.
O my Allah let me be like the one who finds happiness in his efforts and makes full use of the good fortune made available to him, let me be like the one who kept from evil, therefore, lived a life free of cares; exercised self-control, therefore won easily. Spare and free me for the cravings I have accumulated, prevent me from the wasteful conduct that transgress Thy bounds, discipline me in Thy obedience which will direct me to Thy neighborhood, very near to Thee.
My Lord and master with Thee the hunted refugee take refuge, the beseecher humbly makes a request to Thee, the repentant guilty, apologetic, relies on Thy liberal kindness, Thou trained and educated Thy servants thoroughly to be kind and liberal, Thou art the most kind of all those who show kindness;
Thou developed Thy servants to be forgiving and compassionate; Thou art Of-Forgiving Merciful. O my Allah do not keep from me that which I expect to get from Thy generosity, do not send me away from Thy boundless reservoir of bounties, do not exclude me from the share Thou distribute freely tonight to the people who obey Thee, and take me in under Thy sanctuary to protect me from the evil of the wild creatures. Lord! If I am not among the deserving, Thou art Liberal, indulgent, and Oft-Forgiving, so give me to my heart’s content in accordance with Thy (Omni) potency, not what I deserve because my expectations are very high, my hopes live in hope of sure fulfillment, I cling to and hang on Thy liberal generosity, verily Thou art the most Merciful of all who show mercy, and the most generous of all who vie in generosity .
O my Allah designate me clearly to obtain freely my share from Thy bounties. I seek refuge with Thy forgiveness to avoid the penalty Thou may decide, be lenient to me in the matter of sins that have wrapped up and held in check my refinement, and thus brought me into distress, (so that) I take steps to be good for the sake of Thy pleasure, live in ease and peace on account of Thy uninterrupted endowments, and prosper on account of Thy countless bounties.
As I enjoy Thy protection and lay myself at the mercy of Thy generosity, take refuge with Thy forgiveness to avoid the penalty Thou may decide and with Thy indulgence to avoid Thy anger, give me that which I asked for, and made a request to Thee most humbly, I beseech Thee; For Thee nothing is beyond Thy power.

And here I am you worthless bondmen in want but hopeful for getting grace and bounties. O` my Master if You have kindly bestowed in this night on any one from Your creation and benefits, please bestow Your blessings no Mohammad and his pure and purified progeny, the best of the learned, and be kind to bestow on me Your wealth and bounties. O` the Lord of the Prophets and pure progeny and His perfect greetings of salutatio0ns on them. Verily Allah is praise worthy and glorious.
O` Allah I invoke you as taught by You. You therefore grant me my requests as You did promise. You surely do not go against Your promise.
O` Allah! Send Your Blessings on Mohammad and his Progeny, Ameen.

O Allah, grant us a part of Your fear, that acts as a barrier between us and Your disobedience, Your obedience, that helps us achieve Your pleasure, the certainty that makes the miseries of the world seem insignificant. O Allah, make us enjoy, our hearing, our sight, our strength as long as You Keep us alive. Make us take rise against those who oppress us, and help us against those who show animosity to us. Place not our miseries in our religion, and let not this world be our biggest concern, nor the extent of our knowledge. And do not appoint over us one who has no mercy on us, by your mercy, O Most Merciful of the Merciful.
1. Once for long life, 2.Once for prosperity, 3.Once for safety from misfortune.
O Allah, verily Thou
art Sublime, Patient, gives respite, (because) we do not have the
capacity to withstand the conditions that take effect under Thy
authority.

adjustment and discontinuation of the supply of natural resources.
