Amaal for the Month of Muharram

1st Muharram

Night

It has been recommended by Prophet Muhammad (saw) that the following Amaal should be performed
on the 1st Night of Muharram (shab). This is known to be highly beneficial for those seeking Rizq
(sustenance) and Aulad (family):

2 Rakaat Namaz: In both Rakaat recite Surah Fatiha x1 and Surah Al-Ikhlaas 11x times

Day:

The following Amaal have been recommended for reciting during the Day on the 1st of Muharram.

Keep a fast on the 1st day and also beseech your Duas and Hajaats because on this day
Hazrat Zakariya’s Dua was accepted on this day. Any person that keeps this fast would be
rewarded for it is as if they had been doing Ibadat all year, therefore he/she will be protected from
all problems and worries in life. He/she will also enter Jannah if they were to die that year.

It has been reported that Prophet Muhammad (saw) used to pray a 2 Rakaat Namaz and at the end
raise his hands towards the sky and recite the following Dua 3x times:
3rd Muharram
It has been recommended to keep a Fast today and again beseech your Duas and Hajaats to
Allah (swt). It is said that Duas relating to people who are in “Qaid” and for freedom of
captivity or have been wrongly accused of something and therefore facing problems etc,
these duas are especially accepted and Qabool on this day.
9th Muharram
Night (Shab – e – Ashoor):

On the last night before daybreak the companions of Imam Hussain (as) spent the night in Prayer; it
would be a proof of sincere devotion to Allah (swt) if we, His followers, also spent this night in Allah’s
(swt) Worship.

Those who stay awake in Ibadat during this night are rewarded equal to 70 Years Ibadat. Below are
the Amaal to be recited during this night:

Bismillah Hir-rahman Nir-raheem

Peace be on you, O Abu Abdullah (as)!
Peace be on you, O son of the Apostle of Allah!
Peace be on you, O son of the commander of the
faithfuls, the forebear of the successors!
Peace be on you, O son of Fatimah (sa), the
choicest among the women of the worlds!
Peace be on you, O the select, surpassing, chosen
in preference over all good of Allah, and son of
Allah's (such) good.
Peace be on you, who was martyred while fighting
heroically in the cause of Allah, the son of Allah's
fearless warrior, you were isolated and had been
attacked with a vengeance!
Peace be on you and on those souls who had
gathered in your camp, and strided along with you,
in your journey. I pray and invoke Allah to keep all
of you tranquil and restful, for ever; so far I am
alive, this is my prayer, and till nights and days
follow each other.
O Abu Abdullah (as)! Unbearable is the sorrow,
nerve-racking is the agony, you put up with, for us
and for all the (true) Muslims, crimes committed
against you also shocked and unnerved the dwellers
of the heavens, one and all.
May Allah condemn and damn the people who laid
the basis and set up the groundwork, to wander
astray and turn aside from not only you and your
family but to take liberties and bear hard upon you.
May Allah condemn and damn the people who tried
to obscure and deny your office and status, willfully
neglected your rank and class Allah had made know
in clear terms. May Allah condemn and damn the
people who killed you.
May Allah condemn and damn the abettors who
instigated and had a part in your murder. I turn to
you and Allah, away from them, their henchmen,
their followers and their friends, O Abu Abdullah
(as), I pray and invoke Allah to send blessings on
you. I make peace with those who make their peace
with you, make war on those who go to war against
you, till the Day of Judgement.
May Allah condemn and damn the family of Ziyaad
and the family of Marwaan;
may Allah condemn and damn the group and the
tribe of Umayyah, one and all, altogether;
may Allah condemn and damn the son of
Marjaanah;
may Allah condemn and damn Umar son of Saad;
may Allah condemn and damn Shimr;
may Allah condemn and damn the people who
bridled the horses and erected the saddles for your
martyrdom.
I, my father and mother are at your disposal.
Profound is my sorrow for you. I beg Allah, who
honoured you above others, to be generous towards
me on account of you, and give me the opportunity to
be with the victorious Imam (as), the descendent of
Mohammad (saw) at the time of the final and decisive
war against Allah's enemies.
O my Allah make me attend to Your cause, sincerely,
in every respect following in Hussain's (as) footsteps,
in this world and the hereafter. O Abu Abdullah (as), I
pray and invoke Allah to send blessings on you. I
come nearer and seek greater intimacy with Allah,
with His Apostle, with Ameerul Moomineen (as), with
Fatimah (as), with Hassan (as) and with you, with the
help of your love and patronage, cutting off every
connection with those who took up arms against you
and killed you.
I disconnect all links with those who, in the
beginning, took the first steps to take liberties with
and bear hard upon you, I take refuge with Allah and
His Apostle (blessings of Allah be on him and on his
children), free from the guilt of associating with those
who laid the foundation for (your suffering), devised
and carried out their corrupt plan of action, boldly
gave currency to reign of terror and cruelty to
oppress you and your friends and followers; I detach
myself from them and present myself to Allah and to
you, I (first) seek greater intimacy with Allah and
then with you to win your love and patronage, and to
make friends with your friends, cut off all links with
your enemies, and with those who planted the seeds
of hostility against you, and reject and discard their
associates, their followers and their friends.
I make peace with those who made their peace with
you, I search out and confront those who waged war
against you, I make friends with those who stood by
you, I strive against those who came in conflict with
you, therefore, I make a request to Allah to acquaint
(me) with the awareness that perceives you and your
friends, to set me free from the corrupting influence
of your enemies, to make me keep company with you
in this would and in the Hereafter, stand firm beside
you and follow your footsteps closely in this world and
in the next world.
I beseech Him that he helps me to reach your highly
praised station, given to you by Allah, (to meet you),
that He provides me the opportunity to fight for
justice and fair play along with and under the
leadership of the rightly guided guide (in your
progeny) who surely will come and speak the truth.
I beseech Allah in the name of your right and the
purpose He assigned to you, that He overwhelms me
with grief in memory of your sorrows, more than the
personal grief that torments any one who is in great
agony, sorrows which have no parallel and
overshadow all calamities that took place in the
history of Islam, for that matter, through out the
whole universe.
O my Allah, in my on the spot situation, treat me like
him (or her) who obtains from You (Your) blessings,
mercy and forgiveness.
Then again say 100 times:
O my Allah condemn and damn the first tyrant who
unjustly and wrongfully usurped that which rightly
belonged to Mohammad (saw) and the children of
Mohammad (saw), and bring curse upon those who,
after him, followed in his footsteps.
O my Allah condemn and damn those conspirators
who vexed and harassed Hussain (as), showed
eagerness, agreed mutually, and joined hands to
kill him. O my Allah bring curse upon all of them.

Then again say 100 times:

Peace be on you, O Abu Abdullah (as), and on those
souls who came to your camp to put themselves at
your disposal.
So far I am alive and the days and nights follow
each other I invoke Allah to send blessings on you
forever and ever.
May Allah not make my this pledge of close
association, physical as well as spiritual, with you
the last fulfillment.
Peace be on Hussain (as), and on Ali (as) son of
Hussain (as), and on the children of Hussain (as),
and on the friends of Hussain (as).

Then say:
O my Allah, let the curse I call down on the head of
the first tyrant stick like a leech; and stay put for
ever on the first, then the second, the third and the
fourth.
O my Allah damn and call down evil on the fifth,
Yazid son of Mua'awyah, and bring a curse upon
Ubaydullah son of Ziyaad, ibna Marjanah, Umar son
of Saad, and Shimr, and on the descendants of Abu
Sufyaan, on the descendants of Ziyaad, on the
descendants of Marwaan, till the Day of judgement.

Then go is Sajdah and say:

O my Allah! (All) praise is for You (alone); praise of
the "Ever-thankful to You", who glorify You
whatever come to pass. (All) praise is for Allah for
my deep-felt intense grief. O my Allah make
available for me the recommendations of Hussain
(as) on the day I present myself before You, let me
stand firm in safety before You on account of my
sincere attachment with Hussain (as), along with
him and his comrades, who sacrificed everything
they had (heart, mind, soul and life) for Hussain
(as), peace be on him.

Bismillah Hir-rahman Nir-raheem

O Allah! O Allah! O Allah! O He who gives

answer to the cries of the persecuted! O He
who pulls out the grief-stricken from agony
and anguish! O He who comes to help those
who shed tears in helplessness! O he who
brings relief to those who cry for help! O He
who is close by, nearer than my jugular vein!
O He who makes peace between heart and
mind; O He whom people search in the highest
and noblest perspectives; in true and evident
distinctions! O He who is Beneficent and
Merciful in His authority! O He who knows
what the furtive eyes betrays and what the
secretive hearts conceal! O He whom do not
deceive those who do everything in secret! O
He whom intermingled voices of the countless
callers (supplicants) do not stop from giving
answer to each and every one! O He whom
wants and needs of the infinite needy do not
put in confusion for attending to one and all
separately! O he whom clamorous determined
pleading of petitioners do not upset! O He who
reaches and takes hold of everything that tries
to escape! O He who keeps together and
brings into harmony people who know and
understand! O He who examines the souls
when they present themselves before Him
after death! O he who, each day, has (new)
distinct glory! O Fulfiller of wants and needs!
O He who gives confront and respite in
distress! O He who liberally satisfies those who
solicit His favours! O He who stands by and
follow close upon those who humble and
fervently call on Him! O He who effectively
support those who make sincere efforts! O He
who is equal to and can do anything instead of
another in the matters concerning all things;
and nothing, in the heavens and the earth,
can be out of the reach of or is free from His
hold.
I beseech Thee in the name of Muhammad
(saw), the last Prophet (saw), and Ali (as), the
commander of the faithfuls, in the name of
Fatimah (sa), the daughter of Thy Prophet
(saw), and in the name of Hasan (as) and
Hussain (as).
I direct myself towards Thee, through them, in
my address, through them I try to get a
hearing, through them I put forward my case
to get Thy favours, in their names I make a
request to Thee; bound to Thee by oat, living
a life according to Thy commands, I carry out
my pledge by every means, in the name of the
love and devotion Thou has for them, and the
influence and status they enjoy in every
dimension of Thy will,
the superior most pre-eminence in wisdom
and character Thou bestowed upon them to
transcend above everything in the whole
universe, in the name of Thy name Thou
revealed to them in trust, on account of which
Thou chose them in preference over
everything found in the heavens and the
earths, through which Thou built their
syndrome, developed to perfection their
surpassing excellence in knowledge, learning
and deeds, out of all the rest of the people, till
their completeness surpassed the total
achievement of all the people put together;
I request Thee to send blessings on
Muhammad (saw) and on the children of
Muhammad (saw); (and) look into the causes
of my sorrows, anxieties, burdens, and do
away with them, let me be equal to,
sufficiently instructed, while dealing with my
important enterprises and efforts, (and) carry
out and fulfil my obligations, set me free from
the clutches of poverty and from the pangs of
hunger, let me have enough to live upon, free
from the need to turn to others, let me be an
adequate match for him who, I am afraid,
shall create trouble, thwart the schemes of the
one who, I am afraid, shall treat me harshly,
let him, who, I am afraid, shall vex me, come
to grief, expose and rebuke him, who, I am
afraid, shall slander me, layout a plan to
defeat him, who, I and afraid, shall try to
deceive me by stratagem, take notice and act
swiftly against him, who, I am afraid, shall
treat me unjustly, take me into Thy custody to
keep safe from the one who, I am afraid, shall
tyrannize me, exercise Thy supreme authority
to keep him in check, who, I am afraid, shall
rule over me, outwit him, who, I am afraid,
shall lay traps to deceive me cunningly, make
ready a fitting reply to him who, I am afraid,
shall oppress me; keep off from me the
obstinate deceit of the vindictive malicious,
and the crafty artifice of the cunning imposter.
O my Allah put an end to the intentions of him
who desires to destroy me, outwit him who
makes plans, keep off from me his deceit and
intrigue, his hostility and fancy, keep me
aloof, refusing to have anything to do with
him, in whatever manner, on any occasion, as
Thou wills.
O my Allah divert his attention from me and
involve him in his own over bearing anxieties
which Thou will not cut down, in misfortune
which Thou will not make easy to deal with, in
waywardness from which Thou will not lead
him back on the right path, in spiritless
laziness which Thou will never change into
fruitful activity, infamy and disgrace from
which Thou will not allow him to rise to the
surface, in broken fortune which Thou will not
let get set.
O my Allah let contemptible disgrace stick like
a leech on the forehead between his two eyes,
expose him to emptiness s in every effort he
makes, let wicked inclination, distraction and
inactivity cut deep into his body and soul, in
order that Thou diverts his attention from, me,
absorbed in his own pursuits that do not free
him to employ himself at another, make him
think no more of me as he has willfully
neglected and forgotten Thee, take away from
me and throw overboard his attention,
interest, communication, influence, support,
and perverted thinking every evil he commits
or draws it on himself, let everything he does
go waste, defective and incomplete, and do
not give any letup so that he is kept fully
preoccupied and gets no time to pay attention
to me or think of me.
Give enough to me, O He who effectively and
completely gives satisfaction. There is no one
other than Thee who gives sufficiently,
because Thou alone gives enough, no one else
gives to the seeker’s satisfaction except Thee.
Thou dispels the clouds of sorrows, no one
else, save Thee can free the grief-stricken
from cares. Thou comes to help, no one else,
except Thee, can do a favour when called for
help. Thou art near, ready to avert the
danger, no one else, save Thee, is close
enough to stand by in the hour of trouble.
Comes to grief he who relies upon his own
friends instead of Thee; or looks for his own
supporters in place of Thee; frightened, cries
for help having some one else other than Thee
in mind; terrorized, runs away from the
danger to a place of escape outside of Thy
guaranty, and takes refuge in an asylum not
watched over by Thee; and tries to bring
himself to a place of safety through the help of
created beings, excluding Thee, the Creator,
Therefore, Thou art my trust, my hope, my
retreat, my refuge, my security, unto which
one can run for safety, for this reason I call for
thy help, and seek Thy support to carry out
my affairs easily and successfully, through
Muhammad (saw) and the children of
Muhammad (saw) I present myself before
Thee, try to draw Thy attention and ask for
salvation.
So I beseech Thee, O Allah! O Allah! O Allah!
Because (all) praise is for Thee (alone), and
also prostration in thankfulness, thou alone
listens to complaints, Thou alone is called
upon for help. So I beseech Thee, O Allah! O
Allah! O Allah! In the name of Muhammad
(saw) and the children of Muhammad (saw) to
send blessings on Muhammad (saw) and on
the children of Muhammad (saw), to put to
flight the sorrows, the anxieties, the burdens,
now surrounding me from all sides, just as
Thou made Thy Prophet (saw) free of his
sorrows, anxieties and burden, and saved him
from the terror of his enemies,
in such manner as Thou made him to do so,
let me also do the same, let me be free of care
as Thou gave him joy, heart and confidence,
let me have enough and be contended as Thou
gave him sufficiently. Send away from me the
terror that frightens me, the encumbrance
that I find burdensome, the anxieties that
wear me down, freeing me from their impact.
Make me use my means freely to carry out
and complete my business or employment,
and do anything requisite instead of another,
which may make me anxious about my affairs
in this world or the hereafter.
O Ameerul-Mu’mineen (as)! O Abaa Abdullah
(as)! So far I am live and the days and nights
follow each other I invoke Allah to send
blessings on you forever and ever. May Allah
not make my this pledge of physical and
spiritual close association with you (both) the
last fulfillment, and may Allah not separate me
and you (both) from one another.
O my Allah let me have a meaningful
existence as Muhammad (saw) his
descendants had lived, and die as they
departed from this world, take to and carry
out completely their creed; and raise me for
the last judgement alongwith the people
dedicated to them, and do not cut (us) in two
(groups), even for the flash of an eyelid, ever,
either in this world or in the life of the
hereafter.
O Ameerul-Mu’mineen (as)! O Abaa Abdullah
(as)! I come nearer to (you both) to establish
close physical and spiritual relationship, and
thereby seek nearness to Allah, my lord
Nourishes and your lord Nourisher, through
you I direct myself towards Him, and request
you to speak in favour of my immediate at
hand needs and wants I have put before Allah.
So please speak well of me because, of
course, with Allah your thoughtful judgement
is highly credible, your disposition enjoys
conclusive preference, your action keeps step
with precise acumen, and a sure means of
approach to gain His favour.
I looked for and went through all possibilities
and finally brought myself over to you in the
hope of obtaining, speedily and successfully,
fulfillment of my demands, their final
settlement and favourable execution by Allah
on account of your recommendations on my
behalf to get Allah’s approval.
So, let not my “seeing the light” be a bitter
and “fallen short” change of heart, but make
my “accepting the true faith” resolution a
turning point leading to preference and full
satisfaction in the matter of the disposal of my
wants and needs; and direct me to bring
myself over to that which Allah wills and
commands. (because) there is no power and
no might save Allah.
I commit my case to Allah, anything neglected
or taking place behind my back shall be taken
care of Allah, I entrust Allah with the
management of my affairs, and say: Allah is
sufficient and enough, Allah pays attention to
whoso makes a request to Him, there is
nothing for me in that which is on the other
side (in opposition) of Allah, and you, O my
leaders, ultimately that which my lord
Nourisher wills takes place, and happens not
that which He wills not.
There is no power and no might save in Allah.
Unto you (both) I have come with love and
affection, motivated under Divine incentive.
May Allah not make my this pledge of physical
and spiritual close association with you (both)
the last fulfillment. I take advantage O my
leader, O Ameerul Moomineen (as), O my
friend to whom I have surrendered, body and
soul, and you O Abaa Abdullah (as), O my
leader, and pay respects with love and
affection, nonstop, (till) do not carry
embracing days and nights, closely embracing
it, to you, if Allah so wills, without ever being
separated, in your names I beseech Him, that
He wills it and does it because verily it is He
who alone is praised, and he brings about
beautiful things.
I see the light and bring myself over to you,
accepting the true faith, sorry for my earlier
ignorance, thankful to Allah, always hopeful of
getting His favour, never giving into despair,
nor losing heart, ever ready to be near you,
coming back again and again to see you,
never “not longing” for your nearness, but, if
Allah so wills, shall be always in your
neighbourhood as and everyday habit. There
is no power and no might save in Allah.
O my leaders I long for you and love to be in
your company though the worldly people
looked at it with indifference and kept aloof
from your friendly intercourse. May not Allah
let me fall short of in that which I hope for and
in that which I look long and attentively to
establish everlasting reunion with you. Verily
He is near and gives positive answer to
prayers.
