Recite:             Surah Al-Hamd;

Surah Qul Huwallahu Ahad - three times;

Surah Qul-Audhubi Rabbil Falaq - once;

        Surah Qul-Audhubi Rabbin Naas - once.



Note:  If one does not know the last two Surahs mentioned above, then it is sufficient to recite Surah Qul Huwallahu Ahad, three times.

.

Say Takbir and raise both hands for Qunoot.:-

You may recite any Dua. However, it is recommended to recite the following Dua.





Laa ilaaha illallaahul Halimul Karim

لآ اِلَهَ اِلاَّ اللّهُ الْحَلِيْمُ الْكَرِيْمُ





Laa ilaaha illallaahul ‘Aliyyul ‘Azim

لآ اِلَهَ اِلاَّ اللّهُ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيْمُ





Subhaanallaahi Rabbis Samaawaatis Sab'

سُبْحَانَ اللّهِ رَبِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ





wa Rabbil ‘Arzinas Sab'

وَ رَبِّ الاَرْضِيْنَ السَّبْعِ





wa maa fihinna wa maa baynahunna

وَ مَا فِيْهِنَّ وَ مَا بَيْنَهُنَّ وَ





wa Rabbul 'Arshil ‘Azim

رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيْمِ





Wal Hamdul lillaahi Rabbil 'Aalamin

وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِيْنَ



There is none worth worshipping but Allah Who is Forbearing and Generous

There is none worth worshipping but Allah Who is Most High and Great

Glory be to Allah, Who is the Sustainer of the seven heavens and of the seven earth

And Who is the Sustainer of all the things in them, and between them,

And Who is the Lord of the great ‘Arsh (Divine Center of Authority & Power)

And all praise for Allah, the Sustainer of the worlds.

  



      

Then, while holding the Tasbih in the right hand, raise the left hand and pray for forgiveness of forty [40] or more Mu’mineen/Mu’minaat who are either dead or living in the following manner.  



Allaahummagh Firli… (Name)

اَللّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ ل...



O Allah, forgive … giving the names of Mu’mineen/Mu’minaat.

(In each case saying, Allahummagh Firli …….)



Continuing with the Qunoot, while still raising the left hand, recite the following Istighfar seventy [70] times:



Astaghfirullah Rabbi wa Atuubu Ilayh

اَسْتَغْفِرُ اللّهَ رَبِّي وَ اَتُوْبُ اِلَيْهِ



I seek forgiveness of Allah my Lord and I turn to Him



Still continuing further while raising the left hand, recite the following Dua seven [7] times:

Haadhaa Maqaamul 'Aaidhi Bika Minannaar

هذَا مَقَامُ الْعَآئِذِ بِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ



This is the position of one who seeks refuge in You from the fire [of h**l]





Continuing yet further while still raising the left hand, recite three hundred [300] times:  -

Al-'Afwa  (I ask for) forgiveness اَلْعَفْوَ



Following this, the following should be said once: " Rabbigfirli warhamni wa tubalaiyyi,Innaka tawwaburrahim"

“Lord, please forgive me and have mercy upon me and turn back towards me. Verily You are the Oft-Turning back, Most Merciful”





Finally, complete the Salat in the normal way by going to Rukuu’ followed by Sajdah, Tashahud and Salaam, ending Salatul-Layl.



As a Ta’kibaat after the Salat, recite



>      Tasbih of Janabe Fatemah Zahra (a.s.),

                               34 times Allahu Akbar;          

                               33 times Al-Hamdu Lillah:

                               33 times Subhanallah,

>     followed by Sajdah of Shukr.

>     Next, recite Ayatul Kursi.

>      Finally, for the second time, perform Sajdah of Shukr, completing the Salat.



The blessed month of Ramadhan offers a good opportunity and convenient time to pray Salatul Layl, especially when the time of commencing the fast is favorable. Allah [swt] gives abundant reward for all our acts of worship during this blessed month, therefore, we need to make special efforts to pray the Salaat and keep it up for the rest of the year to raise our level of spirituality.

Please do not forget all of the believers throughout the world in your Salat al-Layl especially those oppressed Muslims of Palestine, Iraq, Kashmir, Chechniya,Bosnia, and all over the globe.
