  This is a Duaa by Nabee Jirjees (A.S.): Bismillaahil-Ladhee Yuswallee Inda Swidqihee, Kidhbul Fajarati Wa Siharus-Siharati.

To ward off difficulties recite 100 times this Duaa in Sajdah: “Yaa Hayyu Yaa Qayyoomu Yaa Laa-Ilaha Illa Anta Bi-Rahmatika Astagheethu Fakfinee Maa Ahammanee Walaa Takilnee Ilaa Nafsee.

The following Dua was given to Imaam Ali (A.S.) by the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W.) for remaining safe from troubles:  Yaa Imaad Man Laa Imaad Lahoo, Wa Yaa Dhukhra Man Laa Dhukhra Lahoo, Wa Yaa Sanada Man Laa Sanada Lahoo, Wa Yaa Hirza Man Laa Hirza Lahoo, Wa Yaa Ghiyaatha Man La Ghiyaatha Lahoo, Yaa Kareemal Afwi, Wa Yaa Hasanal Balaai, Wa Yaa Adhweemar-Rajaai, Wa Yaa Izaa-Dh-Dhu’afaai, Wa Yaa Munkidhal Gharqaa, Wa Yaa Munjiyal Halkaa, Yaa Muhsinu, Yaa Mujmilu, Yaa Mun’imu, Yaa Mufdhilu, Antal-Ladhee Sajada Laka Sawaadul-Layli, Wa Noorun-Nahaari, Wa Zaw’ul Qamari, Wa Shu’aaush-Shamsi, Wa Dawiyyul Maa’i, Wa Hafeefush-Shajari, Yaa Allaahu Yaa Allaahu Yaa Allaahu, Anta Wahdaka Laa Shareeka Laka. Allaahummaf-Albee…>.Haajat .

  A tradition from the Holy Prophet (S.A.)W.S. says that anyone who recites the following Duaa every morning and evening shall be kept safe from all tribulations either from humans or gennies. Allaah (S.W.T.) will send four Angels for him who shall protect him all the time:  Bismillaahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem.Bismillahi Khayril Asmaai, Bismillaahi Rabbil Ardhi Wassamaai, Bismillaahil-Ladhee Laa Yadhurru Ma’asmihi Sammun Walaa Daa’un, Bismillaahi Asbahtu Wa Alallaahi Tawaqqaltu, Bismillaahi Alaa Qalbee Wa Nafsee, Bismillaahi Alaa Deenee Wa Aqlee, Bimillaahi Alaa Ahlee Wa Maalee, Bismillaahi Alaa Maa A’atwaani Rabbee, Bismillaahil-ladhee Laa Yadhurru Ma’asmihi Shay’un Fil Ardhi Walaa Fis-Samaai, Wahuas Samee’ul Aleem.

THANKS-GIVING (SHUKR)

It is but a natural thing to thank the one who has done a favour to us, howsoever little may it be. The Almighty Allaah (S.W.T.) created us from nothing, he nurtured us even before we were brought in the world, he made all necessary arrangements for our comfort and easy life, He gave us loving parents to take care of us, His bounties and favours are countless and continuous, and so we can never ever return His favours nor do we have the ability to thank Him exactly as the right to thank Him is. But as a small token that we can manage to offer is to obey all His commandments and not transgress the limits laid down by Him. Moreover there are some Duaas which, can be recited when we appreciate His favours.

Nabii Daaniyaal’s Duaa to thank Allaah (S.W.T.) “Al-hamdu Lillaahil-Ladhee Laa Yansaa Man Dhakarahu, Wal-Hamdu Lillaahil-Ladhee Laa Yakheebu Man Da’aahu, Wal-Hamdu Lillaahil-Ladhee Man Tawaqqala Alayhi Kafaahu, Wal-Hamdu Lillaahil-Ladhee man Wathika Bihee Lam Yakilhu Ilaa Ghayrihee, Wal-Hamdu Lillaahil-Ladhee Yajzee Bil Ihsaani Ihsaanan Wa Bis-Sayyi’aati Ghufraanan Wa Bis-Swabri Najaata.”

We may recite thisDuaa in Qunoot : Rabbi Awzi’ani An Ashkura Ni’amatikallati An’amta Alayya Wa Alaa Waalidayya Wa An A’amala Swaalihan Tardhwaahu Wa Aslihlee Fee Dhurriyyati, Innee Tubtu Ilayka Wa Innee Minal Muslimeen.

It is stated in Hadeeth that when we are healthy it is because of theMercy and bounties from Allaah (S.W.T.) and so we must thank Him for our good health, but when a person forgets to thank Allaah then He causes him toSNEEZE , that is why we are told by Imaam Ameerul Mu’mineen (A.S.) to sayAlhamdu Lillaahi Rabbil Aalameen Alaa Kulli Haal when we sneeze.

Because a sneeze is a sign of health, and so the thanks giving becomes incumbant, it is narrated that the person whosneezes should sayAlhamdu Lillahi Rabbil Aalameen Laa Shareeka Lahoo, the others who hear him sneeze should sayYar’hamu-Kumullaah , and finally the one who sneezed should say to themYahdee Kumullaahu Wa Yuslihu Baalakum

Imaam Ali Ridhaa (A.S.) said it is Waajib to reciteSALAWAAT for one whosneezes and one whoslaughters an animal.

SAJDAH-E-SHUKR

Humanity demands a thanks-giving or appreciation to a favour done, for howsoever little may it be. To be grateful to the bestower of a favour is the foremost duty to whom it is done. To be ungrateful is a sin and consequently the bestower will hasitate to favour such a person any more.

Therefore, if a person ponders with a sobre mind he or she is bound to fail in counting the countless favours Allmighty Allaah has showered upon us even before our coming into this world, and they are going on continuous process without discrimintion. So if we think to repay for it or say ‘thank you’ and forget about it, this will not suffice for even a moment’s bounties we receive. There is never to be any perfact solution to this except to a certain extent that we should be careful enough not to displease our Lord and make Him be pleased with our deeds. That is, each of our good deeds must have a sincere intention of pleasing Him alone.

If we consider only one favour from amongst all others then it is Namaaz. Namaaz is the greatest gift to us if we really are serious on its values. Therefore it is recommended that whenever you get some favour or bounty, and whenever you are saved or protected from any problem you should immediately thank Allaah (S.W.T.) And that is why it is emphasized to perform Sijdah-e-Shuke after every Namaaz. And it is advisable to do it as often as possible at every appropriate instance.

Method for Sajdah-e-Shukr:

Although it is enough to perform a Sajdah as usual even if we do not recite anything in it, but it is better to do it with such posture that our hands upto the elbows, chest, and stomach all should be touching the ground.

Duaa of Sijdah-e-Shukr:

Atleast recite 3 times ‘Shukran Lillaahi’ .

Recite 100 times‘Shukran’.

Recite 100 times.‘Afwan’

Recite 100 times‘Shukran Lillaahi’ after Namaaz-e-Zohr.

Recite 100 times‘Hamdan Lillaahi’ after Namaaz-e-Asr.

“Yaa Rabbaal Arbaabi Wa Yaa Malikal Mulooki Wa Yaa Sayyidas-Saadaati Wa Ya Jabbaaral Jabaabirati Wa Yaa Ilaahal Aalihati Swalli Alaa Muhammadin Wa Aali Muhammad, then ask your Haajat, then say: Fa Innee Abduka Naaswiyatee Fee Qabdhwatik.” Then again ask for your Haajat.

“Aoodhu Bika Min-Naarin Harruha Laa Yutfaa Wa Aoodhu Bika Min-Naarin Jadeeduha Laa Yublaa Wa Aoodhu Bika Min-Naarin Atshaanuha Laa Yurwaa Wa Aoodhu Bika Min-Naarin Masloobuha Laa Yuksaa.

To cure a sick person recite this Duaa in Sajdah: “Yaa Raoofu Yaa Raheemu Yaa Rabbee Yaa Sayyidee.”

“As’alukar-Raahata Indal Mawti Wal Afwa Indal Hisaab.”

“Sajada Wajhiyal-Laeemu Li Wajhi Rabbiyal Kareem.”

Recite 3 times; “Innee Dhwalamtu Nafsee Faghfir Lee.”

“Allaahumma Maghfiratuk Awsau Min Dhunoobee Wa Rahmatuka Arjaa Indee Min Amalee Faghfir Lee Dhunoobee Yaa Hayyan Laa Yamootu.”

When you are disperate on the extreme limit then perfom a Sajdah and recite:”Yaa Mudhilla Kulli Jabbaarin Yaa Mu’izza Kulli Dhaaleelin Qad Wa Haqqika Balagha Majhoodee Fa Swalli Alaa Muhammadin Wa Aali Muhammadin Wa Farrij Annee.”

Recite 3 times: “Yaa Allaahu Yaa Rabbaahu Yaa Sayyidaahu.”

Recite:“Yaa Rabbaahu Yaa Sayyidaahu” in one long breath as many times as you can.

“Sub’haanaka Allaahumma Anta Rabbee Haqqan Haqqan Sajadtu Laka Yaa Rabbee Ta’abbudan Wa Riqqan Allaahumma Amalee Dhwaeefun Fa Dhwaa’ifhoo Lee Allaahummaa Qinee Adhaabaka Yawma Tab’asu Ibaadak Wa Tub Alayya Innaka Antat-Tawwaabur-Raheem.”

In Sajdah a Duaa for our brothers: “Allaahumma Rabbal Fajri Walayalil Ashri Wash-Shaf’i Wal Watri Wal-Layli Idha Yasri Wa Rabba Kulla Shay’in Wa Khaaliqa Kulla Shay’in Wa Malika Kulli Shay’in Swalli Alaa Muhammadin Wa Aalihee Waf’al Bi Wa Bi…… (name the brothers) … Maa Anta Ahluhoo Fa Innaka Ahlut-Taqwaa Wa Ahlul Maghfirati.

MEMORY

For possessing sharp memory reciteSurah Alam-Nashrah 17 times blowing the air on your chest.

Place your right hand on the chest and recite 573 times ‘Al-Baaisu’ .

To have a photographic memory (a) always reciteSura-e-A’alaa . (b) commit by heartSurah-e-Yaaseen.

Recite this Duaa everyday after Namaaz-e-Sub’h: Sub’haana Man Laa Ya’atadee Alaa Ahli Mamlikatih, Sub’haana Man Laa Ya’akhuzu Ahlal Ardhi Bi Alwaanil Adhaabi, Sub’haanar-Raoofir-Raheem, Allaahummaj’allee Fee Qalbee Nooran Wa Baswaran Wa Fahman Innaka Alaa Kulli Shay’in Qadeer.

Imam Ja’afar Saadiq (A.S.) said that when you want to relay one of our Hadees and Shaytaan has made you forget it then place your hand on the forehead and recite this Duaa:“Swallallaahu Alaa Muhammadin Wa Aalihee, Allaahumma Innee As’aluka Yaa Mudhakkiral Khayri Wa Faa’iluhu Wal Aamira Bihi Dhakkirnee Maa Ansaaneehish-Shaytwaan.”

Imaam (A.S.) said that if anyone often makes mistakes in Namaaz its remedy is that whenever he/she goes to the wash-room this should be recited while entering there:Bismillaahi Aoodhu Billaahi Minar-Rijsin Najisil Khabeesil Mukhbisish-Shaytwaanir-Rajeem.

It is also stated that after Namaaz-e-Sub’h recite this Duaa before talking to anyone:Yaa Hayyu Yaa Qayyoomu Falaa Yafootu Shay’an Ilmuhoo Walaa Ya’ooduhoo.

Imaam Ali (A.S.)said that three things increase the power of memory, they are: (1)Miswaak (brushing), (2)Roza (Fasting), (3)Tilaawat-Qur’aan .

Shaikh Abbaas Qummi A.R. says thatany one wishing to increase memory should not miss brushing the teeth with Miswak, should observe fasts, should recite Holy Qur’an, especially Aayatul Qursee, should consume 21 pcs of red raisins in breakfast, should consume honey, masoor-lentils, and meat which is taken from near the neck. These things help increase memory. Similarly one should abstain from eating sour apples, kothmeer, should not urinate in water, should not read name-plates on the graves, should not walk between two women, should not leave lice escape away, should not cut nails with teeth, should not abstain from siesta, should not engage in sins, and should not worry and overwork for the worldly gains.

A tradition from Imaam Moosa ibn Ja’afar (A.S.) says that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W.) told Imaam Ali (A.S.) to recite this Duaa when sometough problem is to be solved:“Allaahumma Innee As’aluka Bi Haqqi Muhammadin Wa Aali Muhammadin An Tuswalli Alaa Muhammadin Wa Aali Muhammadin Wa An Tunjiyani Min Haadhal Ghammi.”

This Duaa is called Hirz-e-Bibi Faatima (S.A.): “Bismillaahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem. Yaa Hayyu Yaa Qayyomu Bi Rahmatika Astagheethu Fa Aghithnee Walaa Takilnee Ilaa Nafsee Twarfata A’ynin Abadan Wa Aslih Lee Sha’anee Kullahu.”

A person saw the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W.) in dream and he wished he could get a Duaa torevive his heart . The Holy Prophet taught him this Duaa:“Yaa Hayyu Yaa Qayyoomu Yaa Laa Ilaaha Illaa Anta As’aluka An Tuhyiya Qalbee Allaahumma Swalli Alaa Muhaadin Wa Aali Muhammad.”
