Eve of Destiny (Laylatul Qadr)

Eve of Destiny (Laylatul Qadr) is the night, which is the most blessed and excellent of all nights.A prayer during this night is superior to the prayer of a thousand months. The destiny forthe year is decided on this night. The Angels and Roohul Ameen (a highly dignified Angel) descend on this earth, with the permission of Allah (swt) & call onthe Imam of the time , and whatis ordained (by Allah) for everybody is presented before the Imam.
1. Take a Ghusl preferably near sunset time (wudhu also required) and Give/pre arrange for Sadqa/Charity tonight.
2. Recite two Rakats Salat , in every Rakat recite Sura-al-Hamd , and Sura Ikhlaas seven times.(for seeking protection against sinning for the seven organs ) After finishing Salat recite 70 times:
I seek the forgiveness of Allah and I repent before Him.
astaghfiru allaha wa atubu ilayhi
أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللّهَ وَأَتُوبُ إلَيْهِ.
It is reported from the Prophet (pbuh) that by the time the reciter will rise from his place Allah (swt) will have forgiven him and his parents. Try to first be really repentant for serious mistakes done, sincerely ask for forgiveness either by: (a) recalling 70 different sins OR (b) feeling remorseful for 10 sins of the 7 main organs: eyes, ears, tongue, hands, mouth, stomach + private parts OR (c) some particula r sins that you may have committed repeatedly OR (d) recalling the variety of punishments of different sins and finally resolve NOT TO Repeat them in the future, then only can one realistically expect to deserve the reward the HP has promised “Whoever performs this act will surely be forgiven by the Almighty even before here rises from his place".
3. Remember your sins & seek forgiveness . Recite 100 times
I seek the forgiveness of Allah, myLord, and I repent before Him.
astaghfiru allaha rabby wa atubu ilayhi
أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللّهَ رَبِّي وَأَتُوبُ إلَيْهِ.

4. The Holy Qur'an should be opened and placed in front, then one should recite:
When opening the qur’an and praying for your needs with the intercession of the qur’an, realize that while the qur’an is a cure forspiritual illness, it only benefits the pious ones and the evil doers are deprived of its illumination. Thus increase the chances for qur’an intercession to work on your behalf by earnestly followingthe rulings of the qur’an.
O Allah , in the name of this Holy Book sent by Thee, whatever there be inthe Book. Including Ism-e-A'azam and Asmaa-e-Husnaa and the things tobe dreaded, the things that may be expected and desired,( like blessings of Heaven). treat me as one of those who are free fromHell fire
Transliteration:
" Alaahumma inni asaloka be kitaabekal munzale Wa maa feeh, wa feehismokal akbaro wa asmaakal husnaa, wa maa yokhaafo Wa yurjaa an taj-alani min otaqaaeka minan-Naar" ,
Place the Holy Qur'an on ones head and say,
While placing the qur’an on the head. Remind yourself that true salvation can only be achieved by always keeping the rules of qur’an ahead of us to follow. The fact that we put the Qur’an on our head is a sign of respect and reverence. We beseech Allah by the thaqalayn - the speaking and the silent Qur'an. - Holy Qur'an (39:56) Pray for Aql/Intelligence to be Kamil ( complete) ,it is Kashe(submits) to quran & acquires Noor ( light) from it.
O Allah! I appeal to Thee inthe name of this Qur'an and the Rooh that was sent along with it, and in the name of the Momin (believer) whose praise is contained in this Book andThe obligation that is on them. No one else recognizes the right and truth more than Thee
Transliteration:
" Allaahumma be haqqe haazal Qur'an we be haqqeman arsaltahoo beh, Wa be haqqe kulle momenin madahtahoo feeh, we be haqqeka alaihim fa-laa ahada a'arafo be haqqeka mink "
After this repeat 10 times each: As you seek intercession of the Almighty (bika ya al…) and the 14 Infallibles( Ahlulbayt as) realizethat God is limitless in Mercy and the Infalliables are pure agencies for the distribution of divine mercy to all creations.
