No Individually-Directed Prescriptions on this Site!

All the posts that have been posted publicly on this Web site are general and open to all. However, anything that IECRC posts on this site requires a great deal of responsibility (answering to Allah on the Day of Judgment) and due to the danger of misuse of often specifically-directed prescriptions, we do not provide individual prescriptions over comments.

Insha-Allah most of the postings on this site will suffice to most of your needs, bi idhnillah.  For individual prescriptions, here is the method for submitting your requests:

  1. Ask Allah to guide to that which will aid, heal, or help you in your condition.
  2. Send abundant blessings on the Beloved Prophet of Allah (sallallahu alayhe wasallam).
  3. Visit all the postings on this site before submitting a request.
  4. If you still don’t find an answer for your specific condition or issue, fill in the form below and email it to info@iecrcna.org:

Insha-Allah we will try our best to respond either by a general post or individually.  Please be patient before you get a response. This site represents the most common issues that people face.  If we find that a particular issue is coming up repeatedly we will often post a general posting.

You are welcome to post comments and request duas (supplication) but there is no way we can respond to each individual request via comments.  Perhaps someone will read your comment and make a supplication that Allah accepts so continue to post your dua requests.

Pray to Allah for our success and if there is anything I have said that is not correct, it is from me and I seek Allah’s forgiveness and if others benefit then it is from Allah.

Rajab: Recommended Prayers and Fasting

Related in the Ghunya of Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani (rehmatullahi alyhe):

The Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings upon him) said that whoever fasts on the first Thursday of Rajab and then prays the following prayer between Maghrib and Isha, i.e on the eve of Friday:

  • 12 cycles in sets of two reciting Surah Al-Qadr (i.e. Inna anzalnahu fi laylatil Qadr) three times and Surah Al-Ikhlas (i.e. Qul huwa Allahu ahad) 12 times, and recites Darood Shareef (Allahumma salli ‘ala Muhammadinin-Nabiyyi l-Ummiyyi wa ‘ala aalihi wa sallim) 70 times at the end of the 12 cycles and then recites some special prayers (found in the Ghunya),

Allah Almighty forgives all his or her sins even if they are like the foam on the ocean, the grains of desert sand, the weight of the mountains, the drops of rain, or the leaves of trees. In addition, intercession is accepted from 700 members of this person’s family on the Day of Judgment. This prayer will come in the form of a person to the deceased when he or she is in the grave and congratulate them saying that they have been granted freedom from every hardship [in the Hereafter]. The deceased person will ask who this person is mentioning that he or she has not seen a person more handsome, nor heard a voice more sweet nor smelt a person more fragranced. Upon this the person will respond that he is this [Rajab] prayer that the person had done and had come to take care of his or her needs and be his or her companion in their loneliness and time of anxiety [in the Barzakh]. Furthermore when the trumpet is blown, this prayer will be a shade on the deceased in the Plain of Hashr and good news to the performer of this prayer that Allah Almighty does not overlook any good deed.
