‘O Allah, forgive -here the name of the deceased is mentioned- and raise his rank among the rightly guided, and be a successor to whom he has left behind, and forgive us and him O Lord of the worlds. Make spacious his grave and illuminate it for him.’
A successor: one who succeeds another due to the latter’s absence or death. This is the correct meaning of the word khaleefah; thus, it is incorrect to believe that Adam is the khaleefah (vicegerent, as is commonly translated) of Allah on earth because Allah is never absent, and will never die. This supplication proves the correct understanding of this term and shows that Allah succeeds us and guards whom we leave behind when we die or are absent (also refer to supplication #198).

‘O Allah, forgive and have mercy upon him, excuse him and pardon him, and make honourable his reception. Expand his entry, and cleanse him with water, snow, and ice, and purify him of sin as a white robe is purified of filth.

Admit him into the Garden, protect him from the punishment of the grave and the torment of the Fire.’

…then you have indeed excelled in praising him.’
82. Protection from the Dajjal
Dajjal: among the great signs of the last hour and the greatest trials to befall mankind, which every Prophet has warned about. Most of mankind will folow him. He will appear from Asbahan, Iran at the time when Muslims will conquer Constantinople. He will be given special powers and will make the truth seem false and vice versa. He will claim to be righteous and then he will claim prophet-hood and finally, divinity. From his features is that he will be blind in his right eye which is a definite proof that contradicts his claim to be Allah as it is a sign of imperfection. The word Kafir will be written between his eyes which every believer, literate or illiterate will recognise.
(190)
‘Whoever memorises the first ten verses of soorat Al-Kahf will be protected from Dajjal.’
One should also seek refuge with Allah from the tribulations of the Dajjal after the last tashahhud in prayer.(Refer to supplications #55 & #56)

shirk: to associate others with Allah in those things which are specific to Him. This can occur in (1) belief, e.g. to believe that other than Allah has the power to benefit or harm, (2) speech, e.g. to swear by other than Allah and (3) action, e.g. to bow or prostrate to other than Allah.

ÈÇÑóßó Çááåõ Ýíßõãú.
Barakal-lahu feekum.
‘May Allah bless you all.’
…AAaishah would then say:
æóÝíåöÜãú ÈÇÑóßó Çááå.
Wafeehim barakal-lah.
‘and may Allah bless them.’
…we return their supplication in a similar way and our reward remains with us.
88. Forbiddance of ascribing things to omens
This supplication is used whenever one initially thinks a casual event or occurrence to foretell good or evil, using it as a basis to determine which action he should undertake, but he then denounces such a link, relies on Allah and then says this supplication as an expiation for this act, since it falls under the category of shirk.

‘Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest, How perfect He is, The One Who has placed this (transport) at our service, and we ourselves would not have been capable of that, and to our Lord is our final destiny. O Allah, we ask You for birr and taqwa in this journey of ours, and we ask You for deeds which please You. O Allah, facilitate our journey and let us cover it’s distance quickly. O Allah, You are The Companion on the journey and The Successor over the family, O Allah, I take refuge with You from the difficulties of travel, from having a change of hearts and being in a bad predicament, and I take refuge in You from an ill fated outcome with wealth and family.’
birr and taqwa: two comprehensive terms which individually, refer to all good actions and obedience i.e. performing the commanded actions and avoiding the prohibited actions. When combined together, birr refers to doing those actions which have been commanded and taqwa refers to avoiding those actions which have been prohibited.
A successor: one who succeeds another due to the latter’s absence or death. This is the correct meaning of the word khaleefah; thus, it is incorrect to believe that Adam is the khaleefah (vicegerent, as is commonly translated) of Allah on earth because Allah is never absent, and will never die. This supplication proves the correct understanding of this term and shows that Allah succeeds us and guards whom we leave behind when we die or are absent.
…upon returning the same supplication is recited with the following addition:

(241)
‘The Messenger of Allah said: ‘By Allah, I seek forgiveness and repent to Allah, more than seventy times a day.’
(242)
He also said: ‘O People, Repent! Verily I repent to Allah, a hundred times a day.’
(243)
He also said: ‘Whoever says:

Astaghfirul-lahal-lathee la ilaha illa huwal-hayyul-qayyoomu wa-atoobu ilayh.
‘I seek Allah’s forgiveness, besides whom, none has the right to be worshipped except He, The Ever Living, The Self-Subsisting and Supporter of all, and I turn to Him in repentance.’
…Allah would forgive him even if he was one who fled during the advance of an army.’
(244)
He said: ‘The nearest the Lord comes to His servant is in the middle of the night, so if you are able to be of those who remember Allah at that time, then be so.’
(245)
He also said: ‘The nearest a servant is to his Lord is when he is prostrating, so supplicate much therein.’
(246)
He also said: ‘verily my heart becomes preoccupied, and verily I seek Allah’s forgiveness a hundred times a day.’
preoccupied: i.e. in a state of ‘forgetfulness’. The Prophet always used to increase in his remembrance of his Lord, in attaining a nearness to Allah and having consciousness of Allah to the extent that if this intensity lessened in anyway, he would regard it as a sin and would then race to seek forgiveness from Allah.
128. Excellence of remembrance and glorification of Allah

(248)
‘Whoever says:

Subhanal-lahi wabihamdih. (one hundred times daily)
‘How perfect Allah is and I praise Him.’
…a hundred times during the day, his sins are wiped away, even if they are like the foam of the sea.’
(249)
Abu Hurayrah reported that the Messenger of Allah said: ‘Whoever says at morning and evening time:
ÓõÈúÍóÇäó Çááåö æÈöÍóãúÏöåö (Ííä íÕÈÍ æÍíä íãÓí)
Subhanal-lahi wabihamdih.(at morning & evening time)
‘How perfect Allah is and I praise Him.’
…one hundred times, none shall come on the Day of Resurrection with anything better except someone who has said the same or even more.’
morning: after prayer until the sunrises, evening: after AAasr prayer until the sunsets, however some scholars say: after the sunsets and onwards.
(250)
Aboo Ayyoob Al-Ansaree related that The Prophet said: ‘Whoever says:
áóÇ Åöáåó ÅöáøóÇ Çááåõ æóÍúÏóåõ áóÇ ÔóÑöíßó áóåõ¡ áóåõ Çáãõáúßõ æóáóåõ ÇáÍóãúÏõ æåõæó Úóáì ßõáøö ÔóíÁò ÞóÏíÑñ.
La ilaha illal-lahu wahdahu la shareeka lah, lahul-mulku walahul-hamd, wahuwa AAala kulli shayin qadeer.
‘None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, alone, without partener. To Him belongs all sovereignty and praise and He is over all things omnipotent.’
…..ten times is like one who has freed four souls from among the children of IsmaAAeel.’

….. is more beloved to me than everything the sun has risen over.’
(253)

‘How perfect Allah is.’
….one hundred times, for a thousand good deeds are recorded for him or a thousand bad deeds are wiped away.’

‘None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, alone without partener. Allah is most great and much praise is for Allah. How perfect Allah is, Lord of the worlds. There is no might nor power except with Allah, The Exalted in might, The Wise.’
…the man then said: ‘These are for my Lord, and what is for me?’ He replied:
‘Say:
Çááøóåõãøó ÇÛúÝöÑú áöí¡ æÇÑúÍóãúäöí¡ æÇåúÏöäöí¡ æÇÑúÒõÞúäöí.
Allahummagh-fir lee, warhamnee, wahdinee, warzuqnee.

Subhanal-lah, walhamdu lillah, la ilaha illal-lah, wallahu akbar, wala hawla wala quwwata illa billah.
‘How perfect Allah is, and all praise is for Allah. None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, and Allah is the greatest. There is no might nor power except with Allah.’
