Continuing on the “Stages of Life after Death”, a
person may run away from Right Path-Siraat-al-Mustaqeem- during the pangs of
death. At the time of death, Shaitaan comes to the dying man and as a last
resort tries to deceive him and put him in doubt so as to turn him from the
faith (Ei’maan), it is recommended that the man should preserve the “Fundamentals
of Faith” (Usool-e-Deen). If he can recite the following Supplication”:
“Allahumma
ya arhamarrahemeenah inni qad aw da’toka yaqeeni haad’a wa thobaata deeni wa anta
mustaudei’n wa qad
amartana be hifzil wad’ae farudduhu a’liyya waqta h’zure mauti.”
It is also recommended to recite “Du’a-e-Adeelah” with a
pure heart. Shaikh Tusi relates from Muhammad bin Sulayman Daylami asked
the Infallible Imam J’afar as-Sadiq (a.s.),” some of your followers’ say
that faith (Eimaan) is of two types; permanent and firmly established and one
which is given to us as a trust and can be ruined.”The Imam (a.s.) told him
to recite the following Du’a after every obligatory prayer:
Razeetubillahe
rabban wa be Muhammadin sallallahu alaihe wa al’lehi nabi wa bil Islame deenan
wa bil qur’ane kitaban wa
bil ka’bate qiblatan wa bil aliyyan walian wa imaama. Wa bil hasane wal husayne
wa alinil husayne wa Muhammad
ibne aliyyin wa ja’faribne muhammadin wa moosabne ja’farin wa alibne moosa wa muhammadibne
aliyyin wa aliyyibne muhammadin wal hasanibne ali wal hujjat ibnal hasan.
Salawatullahe alaihim a’imma
Allahumma inni razeetu behim a’immatan farzini lahum innaka ala kulle shayin
qadeer.
ACTS THAT PROVE BENIFICAL DURING DEATH: The best deed
is to perform prayers (namaaz) on time. It is reported that the Angel of
Death (Malek-ul-Maut) looks at every person at five times of prayers during the
day. When the time of death of that person comes, the Angel of Death
recognizes him and helps him recite the kalemah and shuns away the Shaitaan.
The infallible Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) said: “If
you wish to face the death while you are on the right path and wish that your
rooh leaves your body while you perform good deeds, then hold Allah’s orders
dear to you and obey them, do not waste His bounties by being disobedient to
Him, do not take undue advantage of His mercy, nor become arrogant. Honor those
who follow us and respect those who love us.”
Recite “Dua-e-Tamjeed” of Sahifa-e-Kamilah (Dua #11)
Recite the following supplication during the month of
Zilqad on Sundays after prayers:
Recite “Tasbih-e-Fatima (s.a.)”, which is 34 times
Allahu Akbar, 33 times Alhamdulillah, 33 times Subha’anallah.
Wear a ring of Cornelian (Aqeeq, especially of red
color)
Recite Surah al-Mo’menoon every Friday.
Recite the following supplication 7 times after
morning and evening prayers:
Bismillahir rah’manir raheem Laa h’owla wala quwwata
illah billahil a’liyyil a’zeem
Recite 8 units (Rak’at) namaaz on the night of 22 Rajab;
in each unit (Rak’at) after Surah al-Hamd recite 7 times Suah al-Tawheed. After
namaz recite 10 times Salawaat, and 10 times Astaghferullaha Rabbi wa Atoboo
Ilaih .
Sayyid ibne Tawoos relates that the Noble Messenger
(s.a.w.a.s.) said: “If a person recites 4 units (Rak’at) of namaz in the month
of Sha’baan such that in each unit (Rak’at) after reciting Surah al-Hamd recite
50 times Surah al-Tawheed.
Then during death his spirit will be removed with ease,
and his grave will become spacious, and on the Day of Judgment when he comes
out of his grave, his will be shining bright like a full moon and “Kalmae
Shahadat” will be on his lips.
