Munajāt of Imam ‘Ali (a) The Night of Prayer Munajāt of Imam ‘Ali (a)

The Holy Prophet (s) says: And when the servant (of Allah) turns to His master in the middle of the night and does Munajat, Allah will illuminate his heart. And when he says My Lord, the Most Majestic will respond saying, ‘Here I am, O My servant, ask Me and I will give you, and rely on Me, I will be sufficient for you.’ Then Allah (swt) turns to the Angels and says: My angels! Look at my servant! He has turned to me in the middle of the night, while the idle ones are oblivious, and the heedless ones are sleeping. Bear witness that I have forgiven him.

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيْم In the Name of Allah, the most Kind, the most Merciful

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ Allah bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad.

O Allah, I ask You for protection on the day when Property will not avail, nor sons, except he who comes with a heart free from evil (Q 26:88) The unjust one will bite his hands saying: O would that I had taken a way with the Messenger (Q 25:27) The guilty shall be recognized by their marks, so they shall be seized by the forelocks and the feet (Q 55:41)

O Allah, I ask You for protection on the day when A father shall not give any satisfaction for his son nor shall the child give any satisfaction for his father, Surely the promise of Allah is true (Q 31:33) The unjust shall not benefit from their excuse and for them is a curse and for them is the evil abode (Q 40:52) No soul shall control anything for another soul and the command on that day shall be entirely Allah’s (Q 82:19)

O Allah, I ask You for protection on the day when when a man shall flee from his brother, and his mother, his father, his spouse, and his children, each one of them on that day will have a concern which will occupy him.(Q 80:34) when the guilty will wish to redeem himself from the chastisement of that day by (sacrificing) his children, and the near of kin who gave him shelter and all those that are in the earth (wising) that this might deliver him. by no means! Surely it is a flaming fire, dragging by the head (Q 70:11-16)
