نماز مغرب کے آداب
You should then hurry for performing the Sunset Prayer, because it is strongly discommended to postpone performing it at its earliest time. Actually, traditions have laid very much emphasis on warning against postponing performing the Sunset Prayer at its earliest time.
When you intend to perform this prayer, you may utter the adhan and the iqamah statements observing the previously mentioned etiquettes. In the space of time between adhan and iqamah, you may say the following supplicatory prayer:
اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّىْ اَسْئَلُكَ بِاِقْبَالِ لَيْلِكَ
O Allah, I beseech You in the name of the coming of Your night,
پروردگار میں تجھ سے سوال کررہا ہوں رات کی آمد
وَاِدْبَارِ نَهارِكَ
the departure of Your daylight,
اور دن کے جانے کے سہارے،
وَحُضُوْرِ صَلَوَاتِكَ
the presence of Your prayers,
وقتِ نماز کے آنے کے سہارے،
وَاَصْوَاتِ دُعاۤئِكَ
the voices of Your supplicants,
دعاؤں کے سہارے،
وَتَسْبِيْحِ مَلَاۤئِكَتِكَ
and the glorification of Your angels,
اور ملائکہ کے تسبیحات کی آوازوں کے سہارے
اَنْ تُصَلِّىَ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَّاٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
to send blessings upon Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad
کہ محمدؐ و آل محمدؐ پر رحمت نازل فرما
وَاَنْ تَتُوْبَ عَلَىَّ
and to accept my repentance.
کہ محمدؐ و آل محمدؐ پر رحمت نازل فرما
اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيْمُ۔
You are verily, the Oft-Returning, the Most Merciful.
کہ تو بہترین مہربان اور توبہ کا قبول کرنے والا ہے۔
You may then perform the Sunset Obligatory Prayer, observing all of its etiquettes and meeting all of its conditions. Upon accomplishment, you may utter the Takbir statement three times and say Tasbih al-Zahra’. You may then say the following:
اِنَّ اللّٰهَ وَمَلَاۤئِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّوْنَ عَلَى النَّبِىِّ
Surely, Allah and His angels bless the Prophet;
اللہ و ملائکہ صلوات بھیجتے ہیں پیغمبرؐ پر۔
يَاۤ اَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا
O you who believe,
صاحبانِ ایمان تم بھی
صَلُّوْا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوْا تَسْلِيْمًا
call for blessings on him and salute him with a becoming salutation.
صلوات بھیجو اور سراپا تسلیم ہوجاؤ۔
اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِىِّ
O Allah, (please) bless Muhammad the Prophet,
خدایا تیرے پیغمبرؐ پر،
وَعَلٰى ذُرِّيَّتِهٖ وَعَلٰى اَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ۔
his offspring, and his Household.
ان کی ذریّت پر اور ان کے اہل بیتؑ پر صلوات اور رحمت نازل فرما۔
You may also repeat the following litany seven times:
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
In the Name of Allah; the All-beneficent, the All-merciful
خدا کے نام سے جو بڑا رحم کرنے والا مہربان ہے
وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ اِلَّا بِاللّٰهِ الْعَلِىِّ الْعَظِيْمِ۔
There is neither might nor power except with Allah, the All-high, the All-great.
اور نہیں کوئی طاقت و قوّت مگر وہ جو بلند و بزرگ خدا سے ملتی ہے۔
You may also repeat the following doxology (zikr) three times:
اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِىْ يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشاۤءُ
All praise be to Allah Who does whatever He wishes
حمد اللہ کے لیے ہے وہ جو چاہے کرتا ہے
وَلَا يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشاۤءُ غَيْرُهُ۔
and no one else can do whatever one wishes.
اور اس کے علاوہ کوئی بھی جو چاہے نہیں کر پاتا۔
You may also say the following imploration:
سُبْحَانَكَ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اَنْتَ
All glory be to You. There is no god save You.
تو پاک ہے تیرے سوا کوئی معبود نہیں
اِغْفِرْ لِىْ ذُ نُوْبِىْ جَمِيْعًا
(Please) forgive me all of my sins,
میرے سارے گناہ بخش دے
فَاِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوْبَ كُلَّهَا جَمِيْعًا اِلَّا اَنْتَ۔
because none can forgive all sins altogether save You.
کیونکہ کوئی بھی سارے گناہ نہیں بخش سکتا مگر صرف تو ایسا کرسکتا ہے۔
If you wish to say more post-prayer utterances, it is then favorable to delay saying them until you offer the supererogatory (mustahab / nafilah) sunset prayer, which consists of four units, each two separately (i.e. you say the Taslim statement after the second and fourth units). It is discommended to say anything (other than supplications) in the space of time between the obligatory and supererogatory (mustahab / nafilah) sunset prayers. In the first unit of the supererogatory (mustahab / nafilah) prayer, you may recite Surah al-Faatehah and Surah al-Kafirun. In the second, you may recite Surah al-Faatehah and Surah al-Tawheed. In the third and fourth units, you may recite any Surah you wish although it is highly advisable to recite in the third unit Surah al-Faatehah and the following verses, which are the first six verses of Surah al-Hadid (No. 57):
It is also high advisable to recite in the fourth unit of the supererogatory (mustahab / nafilah) sunset prayer Surah al-Faatehah and the following holy verses, which are the last four verses of Surah al-Hashr (No. 59):
Just like all other supererogatory (mustahab / nafilah) prayers, it is acceptably sufficient to recite Surah al-Faatehah alone in each unit. It is highly advisable to recite the Surahs with audible voice, just like other supererogatory (mustahab / nafilah) night prayers.
RITES FOLLOWING THE supererogatory (mustahab / nafilah) SUNSET PRAYER
Upon accomplishing the supererogatory (mustahab / nafilah) sunset prayer, you may say any of the general post-prayer utterances. You may then do the thanksgiving prostration as has been previously cited. The least thing to be said in the thanksgiving prostration is the following:
شُكْرًا شُكْرًا شُكْرًا
Thanks, thanks, thanks.
تیرا شکر ہے ، تیرا شکر ہے، تیرا شکر ہے
Al-Kulayni has reported Imam al-Sadiq(a.s.) as saying: When you finish the supererogatory (mustahab / nafilah) sunset prayer, you may pass your hand over your forehead and repeat the following supplicatory prayer three times:
بِسْمِ اللهِ الَّذِىْ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ
In the Name of Allah save Whom there is no god,
خدا کے نام سے جس کے سوا کوئی معبود نہیں
عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَ الشَّهَادَةِ
the Knower of the unseen and the seen,
وہ غیب اور حاضر کا جاننے والا
الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمُ
the All-beneficent, and the All-merciful.
بڑے رحم والا مہربان ہے
اَللّٰهُمَّ اَذْهِبْ عَنِّىَ الْهَمَّ وَ الْحَزَنَ۔
O Allah, (please) take away from me grief and distress.
اے معبود! تو ہر اندیشہ و غم کو مجھ سے دور کردے۔
It is highly advisable to offer the Ghufaylah Prayer (whose merits and method have been mentioned in the book of Mafatih al-Jinan) thereafter.
