Farhamni Fee Haajati Haadhi-hi Bi Qadaa-iha Wa Najaahiha Rahmatan Tughneeni Biha ‘An Rahmati Man Siwaak. Thereafter make Dua for your need. (This Dua can be read when facing any difficulty). [At Targheeb Wat Tarheeb Lil Mundhiri Vol.1 Page 274, Hadith Number 1020, Published by Darul Kutub Al Ilmiyah] Perform one hundred (100) Raka’ats with ten (10) times Surah Ikhlaas (Qul Huw’Allah) in every Raka’at. There are many blessings in this. Hazrat Hasan Basri ؓ◌ states that, thirty (30) Sahaba e Kiraam of the Beloved Rasool have mentioned that one who performs this Salaah on this night (of Bara-at), Almighty Allah places His Special Merciful Attention upon him seventy (70) times, and for every time, He fulfils seventy (70) of his needs, of which the minimum need, is that He forgives his sins. Note of Caution Those who perform Ishraaq, Tahaj-jud, Aw-wabeen, Salaatut Tasbeeh and other Nawafil on Big days and Big nights, must take note that if they are responsible for any Qaza Salaahs, then performing these Nafils etc will not afford them any real benefit. They should perform the intended Raka’ats as Qaza Salaah (and In’sha Allah they will receive the rewards of those blessings as well). It is mentioned in Fatawa Alamgiri etc that, ‘To perform ones Qaza Salaah is more important than performing Nafils etc.’ [Alamgiri Vol.1 Pg.125] 13
Fireworks On this night, Muslims should spend most of their time in Ibaadat (worship), and they should abstain from using fireworks. With the exception of earning the displeasure or Allah, the harmful effects of fireworks are well-known. The harmful effects can be observed by reading through the newspapers and by those who witness this. All the Muslims should jointly make efforts to end this incorrect, destruction and non-Shariah compliant activity. Every wrongdoing can be stopped by making an effort to eradicate it. A true believer is one who is always engrossed in spreading the Deen. To spend this night in sinful acts is a sign of immense deprivation. It is known about fireworks that this was started by the king Namrud (Nimrod), when he catapulted Hazrat Ibraheem Alaihi Salaam into the raging inferno and it turned into a garden for him (by Allah’s command), his people filled pomegranates with a combusting agent, and then lit them and threw them towards Hazrat Ibraheem Alaihis Salaam. This (fireworks) is actually the custom of the Hindus who do this during diwali and holi. Muslims should also realise that hundreds of thousands of rupees are wasted in this (un-Islamic) practice, and every year we hear that due to fireworks so many houses have burnt down in such and such place, and such and such amount of people have been burnt to death. There is danger to one’s life and also destruction of one’s wealth, and the risk of houses catching alight, due to this practice. To burn your wealth with your own hands and to earn the wrath and displeasure of Allah are all impermissible and forbidden in the Shariah. It is necessary for all the Muslims to abstain from this vile practice. 14
