STRONG PROTECTION AGAINST

THE DEVIL AND STUBBORN TYRANTS

If it is confirmed that a Jinn is in a house, then the following steps must betaken.

1st: the owner of the house should go to the house with 2 people and say:

.

I command that you, by the covenant command between you and king

Sulaiman to get out and leave our house.

I command you by Allah to leave and not hurt anybody here. (For three

days)

: If the owner still feels that there is something out of the ordinary in the

house, he should put water in a bowl, put his finger inside it and say thefollowing prayers.

By those (angels) who bring the Book and the Quran from Allah to man-

Verily, your God is indeed one (i.e. Allah); Lord of the heavens and the earth

and all that is between them, and the Lord of every point of the suns risings.

Verily, We have adorned the near heaven with the stars (for beauty). And to

guard against every rebellious devil. They cannot listen to the higher group

(angels) for they are pelted from every side. Outcast, and theirs is a constant

(or painful) torment. Except such as snatch away something by stealing and

they are pursued by a flaming fire of piercing brightness.53

MORNING AND EVENING ADHKAAR

A Muslim should recite these Adhkaar after fajr prayer and after Asr prayer

until sunset.

They are strong fortress for one who persists in reciting them at these times,

and Shaytan (devil) will find no way to affect him:

The Messenger (Muhammad) believes in what has been sent down to him from His Lord,

Messengers. (They say) We make no distinction between one another of His Messengersand they say We hear and we obey. We seek Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the

return (of all). Allah burdens not a person beyond his scope. He gets

reward for that (good) which he has earned, and he is purnished for that (evil) which he has

earned. Our Lord! Purnish us not if we forget or fall into error, Our Lord! Lay not on us aburden like that which You did lay on those before us (Jews & Christians) Our Lord! Put

not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Pardon us and grant us for-

giveness. Have mercy on us. You are our Patron, Supporter and Protector and give usvictory over the disbelieving people. Q2: 285-286

Allah, the Lord of every creature (Mankind, Jin and all that exist)! Invoke your Lord with

humility and in secret. He likes not the aggressors. And do not do mischief on the earth,

after it has been set in order and invoke Him with fear and hope. Surely, Allahs mercy is(ever) near to the good-doers. Q7: 54-56

We rise upon the fitrah of Islam, and the word of pure faith, and the religion of

our Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and the religion of our forefather Ibrahim,

who was a Muslim and of true faith, and was not of those who associate otherswith Allah. We have reached the morning (evening) and at this very time untoAllah belongs all sovereignty, and all praise is for Allah. There is no god but

Allah alone, with no partner or associate. His is the dominion, Him alone to be

praised, and He has power over all things. My Lord, I ask You for the good of

PROPHET MUHAMMADS MANNER OF PERFORMING PRAYERS(May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

All praise be to Allah alone, and may His peace and blessings be upon His messenger and

bondman our prophet Muhammad, his family and his companions.

The objective of this concise attachment is to explain how Prophet Muhammad (May thePeace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) used to perform his prayers. We would like to

present this explanation to every male and female Muslim so that they may strive to follow

the tradition of the Prophet in the performance of their prayer. It was narrated by AlBukhari that Prophet Muhammad (May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

said:

Saluu Kama rahaetumunii usally.

Perform your prayers in the same manner you had seen me praying. Therefore, here isthe explanation for the prophets manner of prayer:

1. To perform completely the ablution, adopting the method commanded by Allah in theQuran:O ye who believe, when ye prepare for prayer, wash your faces and your hands (and arms) tothe elbows, rub your heads (with water) and (wash) your feet to the ankles.(5:6)

The Prophet (May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:Prayer without ablution is invalid.

2. To turn ones face and whole body towards the kaaba, the Holy House at Makkah,(qiblah).

Intending by heart to perform the prayer which he wants to fulfil .Whether it is anobligatory prayer or a supererogatory prayer, the worshipper in all cases, should not

pronounce his159

intention openly. Because neither the prophet nor his companions used to utter theintention for prayer. Thus, pronouncing the intension for prayer in audible voice is an

heresy and an illicit action.

Whether the individual be an imam or performs his prayer individually, he should make(A sutra) i.e. a curtain for his prayer.

Directing the face towards the Qiblah (The kaaba at Makkah) is an imperative cond i-

tion for every prayer. However, there are few exceptions for this rule explained in

authoritative books for he who wishes to refer.3. Topronounce Takbirat Al Ihram that is to say Allah Akbar celebrating by that

the greatness of Allah and looking meanwhile, downwards to the place where he willprostrate.

4. To raise ones hands up to the level of the shoulders or near to the lobes o f his ears,

while pronouncing Takbirat AI Ihram.5. To put ones right hand over his left hand and left wrist, and put them both over his

chest, as the Prophet (May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to do.


60/65

6. It is advisable that the worshipper recite this opening supplication saying:

Allahumma baid bayni wa bayena khataya Kama baadta bayena al-mashr iki wal

maghri bi, Al lahumma naqqini y min khatayaya Kama yonaqa al thawbo alabyado

min aldanasAllahumma igysilniy min hatayaya bilmai wathalji walbarad.This supplication means:

O Allah, separate me from my sins as you have separated the East from the West. O Allah,cleanse me of my sins as the white robe is cleansed from dirt. O Allah, wash off my sins withwater, snow and hail.

160

Or, he may say instead:

Subhanaka Allahumma wa bihamdika watabaraka ismuka watala jadduka wala

ilaha ghayrakaThis supplication means:

Praise and glory be to Allah. Blessed be your Name; exalted be your Majesty and Glory.

There is no god but You.Or he may say any other supplications which the Prophet, (May the peace and blessings

of Allah be upon him) used to say in his prayers. It is better to recite these supplications

alternately, the first one in the morning prayer Fajr, the second in the noon prayerzuhr, each one by turn, in conformity with what the Prophet used to do. After re-

citing the opening supplication, the worshipper says:

Aouzubillahi min al-shaytani-r-rajim.I seek protection of Allah against accursed Satan.Then he says:


Which means:In the name of Allah, the All Merciful, the All Compassionate. And recites the fatiha

(The opening sura of the glorious Quran).Prophet Muhammad may Peace and Bles s-

ings be upon him, said:Prayer without reciting the fatiha is invalid.

The worshipper should say Ameenafter reciting the fatiha loudly if the prayer is

said loudly, and silently in inaudible prayers.

To be in conformity with the traditions of the prophet, the worshipper is advised torecite verses from medium size suras of the Quran in the Zuhr (noon), Asr (late a f-

ternoon), and Isha (Night) prayers. As for the Fajr (morning) prayer, the worshipper is

advised to recite a passage from the long suras of the Quran.He has the choice inMaghrib prayer (Evening prayer) either to recite passages from the long suras or from

the161

short suras of the Quran.

7. Then, the worshipper bows in Ruku raising his hands up to the level of hisshoulders of ears while saying AllahuAkbarAllah is Great Then bends his head

and back on one level and putting his hands with the fingers spread on his knees. The

worshipper should feel serenity and tranquillity while bowing, he should say thrice atleast:

Subhana Rabbiyal-AzimWhich means:Glory be to my Lord, the Almighty.


61/65

It is advisable to say while bowing in addition to that:

Subhanak-Allahumma Rabbana wa bi hamdika, Allahumma ighfir liyWhich means:Glory be to Thee, O Allah, and praise Thee, forgive me my sins.

8. To raise ones head up from bowing, raising ones hands to the level of his shoulders or

ears, saying, in case of being Imam or praying alone:Samia Allahu liman hamidahWhich means:

Allah listens to him who praises Him

While resuming the standing position, he should say:

Rabbana wa laka al hamdan katheeran tayyiban mobarakan feehiy mil assa-

mawati wa mil alardhi wa mila ma baynahuma wa mila ma shita min shayin baadThis supplications means:

Our Lord, praise be for Thee only, praises plentiful and blessed as to fill the heavens,the Earth, what is in between, and fill that which will please Thee besides them.

But if the worshipper is a follower, and led in his prayer by the Imam he should say

when rising up Rabbana walaka alhamde.t.c162The worshipper is advised to put his hands on his chest, as he had done before he

bowed. Both Wail ibn Hajjar and Sahl ibn Saiyd reported that this was the manner of

the prophet when he used to raise his head up after bowing.9. To prostrate saying All ahu Akbar Allah is Great. He should touch the ground

with his hands before touching it with his knees, if that is possible to him. If not, he is

permitted to touch the ground by his knees before his hands. His finger and toes should

be directed towards the Qiblah Makkah, and his hands should be stretched, and thefinger close together and not separated. In prostration, the worshipper should use these

seven organs:

Theforehead, the nose, both hands, both kneesand the internal parts or tips of the toes.These seven organs should touch the ground. Then the worshipper should say thrice or

more:

Subhhana Rabbiyal A alaWhich means:Glorified is my Lord, the exalted.

It is advisable to add:

Subhanaka Allahumma Rabbana wa bi hamdika, Al lahuma ighf ir -liy.This means:

Glory be to Thee, Our Lord, and I praise Thee. Our Lord, forgive me my sins.

It is recommendable for the worshipper to exceed more and more in supplications and

ask for more from his Lord, because the Prophet may Peace and Blessings of Allah be

on him said:Which means:

As for bowing Ruku you should glorify your Lord during performing it, as for

prostration, you should do your best to supplicate and ask for more from Him, becauseyoursupplications during prostration are more worthy to be accepted.

163

The worshipper should ask his Lord for prosperity both in this worldly life and in thehereafter. Whether it is an obligatory prayer or an optional prayer, the worshipper,


62/65

while prostrating, should neither bring his hands close to his sides, nor stick his

abdomen to his thighs, or his thighs to his legs. The worshippers arms should be raised

up from the ground because the prophet, May the peace and blessings of Allah be uponhim, prohibited putting the arms and stretching them on the ground, ordering that

Adjust your prostration, keep straight in it, and stretch not your hands on the ground

as dogs do.10. He should raise his head from prostration saying:Allahu Akbar and lay his left foot flat on the ground and sits upon it, keeping his

right foot erected, his hands on his thighs and knees, and says:

Allahumma igfrilii, Warhamnii, Warziqnii Wahdini WajburniiO My Lord forgive me, have mercy on me, provide me with your Blessings and

Console me.

The worshipper should feel tranquillity during this pause.

11. To prostrate again saying Allahu Akbar and repeating during his prostration whathe did and said in the first prostration.

12. Then the worshipper raises his head saying Allahu Akbar taking a pause similar to

the pause between the two prostrations; this is called the pause for rest. It is rec-ommended for the worshipper to do such a pause, but there is no sin if he desists from

it. Then the worshipper rises up and stands supporting on his knees, or on the ground if

he can not support himself on the knees, reads the fatiha(the opening sura of the holy

Quran) and some other verses of the Quran and do as just as he did in the firstRak at(unit prayer).Those who pray behind the imam should not compete with him in the

164

prayer actions as the Prophet (May the Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

The imam is to be followed, if he says: Allahu Akbar which means Allah is

Great then say the same after him. If he bows in Ruku bow after him. If he says:

Samia-l -lahu liman hamidah which means Al lah hears him who praises Him,

then say: Rabbana wa laka-l -hamd which means Our Lord! All praises are forthee; and if he prostrates, then prostrate after him.(Bukhari V: 1p.37).

13. If the prayer consists of two rakaat (two units of prayer) as the morning prayer Fajr

feast prayer Eid, or the Friday prayer Jumua,the worshipper sits after the second

prostration, with his right foot erect, sitting on his left foot laid down, putting his righthand on his right thigh, all his fingers close-fisted save the index finger which he uses to

point out as a sign for his monotheistic belief, and his left hand is put on his left thigh.

There is nothing in the way, if the worshipper keeps both the little and ring fingersclosed, while rounding his thumb and middle finger in a ring-shape, and uses his index

finger to point out as a sign for his monotheistic belief. It has been related that the

Prophet, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, had practiced both of these

way. Thus, it is advisable for the worshipper to perform the first way once and the other

on the second time.The worshipper reads the Tashahud while sitting and says:

Al-tahiyatu li lahi wasalawatu watayibbatu Assalamu alayka ayuha-n-nabiyu wa

rahmatu-llahi wa barakatuhu.Assalamu alayina wa ala

ibadi-l-lahi -s-salih iyn.Ashadu an la il aha ila lahu wa ashadu anna Muhammadan

abduhu wa rasul luh, Al lahumma salli y ala Muhammad wa ala aali Muhammad,

Kama salayta ala I brahima wa aali I brahim. I naka Hamidun majid. Wa barik165


63/65

ala Muhammad wa ala aali M uhammad kama barakta ala I brahima.Wa ala aali

IbrahimInaka Hamidun Majid.This means:Greetings, prayers and the good things of life belong to Allah. Peace and blessings ofAllah be upon you, O prophet. May peace be upon us and on the devout slaves of Allah.

I testify that there is no god but Allah and I testify that Muhammad is his slave andmessenger. O Allah, Bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as you blessedIbrahim and the family of Ibrahim. You are the Most-Praised, the Most Glorious. O

Allah, Bestow Your Grace on Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as you Be-

stowed it on Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim .You are the Most-Praised, theMost-Glorious.

After reciting the Tashahud,the worshipper asks Allahs protection from four evils, he

should say:

Rabbi audhu bika min adhabi Jahannam, wamin adhabil-qabr wamin f itnatil

mahya wal mamaat wa min shar ri l -maseeh addajaal.

My Lord, I ask Your protection from torment of the hell, torment of the grave, thetrials in life-time and after death, and from the imposter Antichrist.The worshipper

may ask Allah for prosperity in this worldly life and in the hereafter, supplicate Allah to

bestow His favours on his parents and other Muslims. He could do this in both oblig-

atory and optional prayers. It has been reported by Ibn Massoud that the Prophet Peaceand Blessings of Allah be on him, taught him how to recite the Tashahudand told him

that the worshipper should invoke Allah and ask Him for the more beloved wishes

which he likes, or, as it has been related in other wordings, the worshipper should askAllah whatever he wishes. In this manner, the servant can ask Allah for all the pros-

perities of this worldly life and the life to come. The worshipper terminates his166

prayer by turning his face to the right saying:As-salamu alaikum wa Rahmatu Llah and to the left saying this salutation which

means Peace and Mercy of Allah be upon you.

14. In case of a three Rakat prayer (prayer consisting of three units) as that of Magrib

prayer, (evening prayer), or a four rak atprayer like that of noon prayer (Zuhr), Asrprayer (late afternoon prayer) or,Ishaprayer (night prayer), the worshipper stands up

after reciting the Tashahudaccording to the manner stated before, and raises his hands

up to the level of his shoulders saying (All ahu Akbar). The worshippers put his handsover his chest as it had been explained before, and recites only the Fatiha. There is no

objection if he adds to the Fatihasome other verses of the Quran while performing the

third or fourthRakat(unit of prayer) of noon prayer(Zuhr), because this was stated to

be one of the manners adopted by the Prophet, may the Peace and Blessing of Allah be

on him, according to the tradition reported by Abu Saied.After the thirdRakatofMagribprayer (evening prayer) and the fourthRakatofZuhr

(noon), Asr(afternoon) and Isha(night) prayer, the worshipper recites the Tashahud
