Imam Al-Mahdi (a.j)

Ziyarats/ Duas, etc.

These Ziyarats and Duas are recommended by Imam Mahdi (a.j).

• Ziyarat Aale-Yasin

• Dua Nudba on Friday mornings

• Ziyarat e Jamia

• Ziyarat Ashura

• Sahifa Sajjadiya

• Ziyarat Aminullah

• Ziyarat Al-Warith

• Dua Iftitah

Du' al-Iftitah was taught by Imam Mahdi (a.j) to read every night during the month Ramadhan. The Du'a is excellent for moulding man's attitude towards his Creator, as it discusses many aspects of the wretchedness of the human being, and the grace of Allah (swt).

The Dua can be divided into two parts:

1) Man's relationship with Allah and
2) Divine leaders.

Imam al-Mahdi (a.j) emphasised on doing these acts when he met a righteous Servant of Allah:

▪︎ Reading Surah Ya Sin after Fajer prayers,

Surah An-Naba after Dhuhr prayers,

Surah Nuh after Asr prayer,

Surah Al-Waqi'ah after
Maghrib prayers,

and Surah Al-Mulk after Isha prayers.

For the two rakat prayer between Maghrib and Isha:

In the first rakat you read any surah after surah Al-Fatiha.

And in the second rakat, read surah Al-Waqi'ah.

He then said, this will be sufficient, and you won't have to read surah Al-Waqi'ah after Maghrib prayer.

▪︎ Imam (a.j) emphasised on reading this dua after daily prayers:

«اللهمَ سَرّحْنی عَنِ الهُمومِ وَالْغُمُومِ ووَحْشَةَ الصّدرِ ووَسْوَسَةِ الشَّیطان
بِرَحمتِکَ یا اَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمینَ».

'O Allah! release me from sadness, fear in heart, and the enticements of Shaytan, O the most merciful of all those who show mercy!'

This a Du'a/Supplication that saves anyone reading it from sadness, fears, and the temptations caused by Shaytan. And it helps one's life to be ready for spiritual blessings and the bothersome thoughts to go away.

Also, Imam (a.j) emphasised the importance of Tasbih Lady Fatimah Zahra (sa) after prayers.

It is a special kind of Dhikr which is attributed to Lady Fatimah (sa). According to a tradition from Imam Jafar Sadiq (as), one should recite Allah Akbar 34 times, Alhamdulillah 33 times and Subhanallah 33 times.

▪︎ Saying this Salawat after your ruku (bowing) in your daily prayers especially in the last rakat:

«اللهمَ صَلِ عَلی مُحمّدٍ وَآلِ محمّد وترحَم علی عجزنا واغِثْنا بحقَهم».

▪︎ To read Quran and send its rewards as a present for the deceased Shias who don't have anyone, or if they do, their families don't remember them.
