Wednesday

Wednesday's Super Prayer:

12 rakaa's after rising on a Wednesday

Recite in each rakaa:

• Fatiha
• Ayatul Kursi 
• Surat Al-ikhlas 3 times
• Surat Al-falaq 3 times
• Surat An-nas 3 times

A proclaimer will proclaim near the Throne: "O servant of God, your actions have been accepted and your future sins forgiven. Punishment of the Resurrection Day will be lifted up from you and you will be given the actions of a Prophet on that day". 

Okay, I know this one sounds a wee bit out there, and if I read it on some random website I'd be skeptical, but this was from a reliable source! Seriously, "Ihya ulum id-din" by Al Ghazzali, the man was known as "The Alchemist of Happiness" and he's world famous; he wouldn't pull our leg like that.

Tuesday

Tuesday's Super Prayer:

10 rakaa's in the early part of Tuesday

Recite in each rakaa:

• Al fatiha
• Ayatul Kursi
• Surat Al Ikhlas

Now, the exact text was "...with Fatiha and Ayatul Kursi and Ikhlas three times in each rak'at..." so I don't know if that means just Ikhlas 3 times, or Fatiha, Ayatul Kursi AND Ikhlas all 3 times each. 

Your faults will not be written for seventy days, and if you happen to die on the last day (i.e the seventieth day) you'll die a martyr and your sins for seventy years will be forgiven.

Monday

Monday's super prayer:

2 Rakaa's in the early part of Monday

Recite in each rakaa:

• Al Fatiha
• Ayatul Kursi
• Surat Ikhlas
• Surat Al Falaq
• Surat An Nas

Upon completion of the salat (i.e after salams)

• Istighfar 12 times (ask forgiveness 12 times.)
• Darud 12 times
• Darud or Darood, also known as Salawat is to send blessings upon prophet Muhammad (SAW). I've read a LOT of things about this, most of which I don't understand, so I think this will suffice:
• Allahumma salli `ala Muhammadin, wa `ala aali Muhammadin, kama sallaita `ala aali Ibrahima, innaka Hamidum Majid. Allahumma barik `ala Muhammadin, wa `ala aali Muhammadin, kama barakta `ala aali Ibrahima, innaka Hamidum Majid 
• O Allah, exalt the mention of Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as you exalted the family of Ibrahim. You are Praised and Glorious. O Allah, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as You blessed the family of Ibrahim. You are Praised and Glorious.

Allah (SWT) will forgive all your sins

12 Rakaa's 

Recite in each Rakaa:

• Al Fatiha
• Ayatul Kursi

Upon completion of the salat (i.e after salams)

• Surat Al Ikhlas 12 times
• Istighfar 12 times (as forgiveness 12 times)

You will be told on Judgement Day: "O son (or daughter I assume) of so and so, rise up and take rewards from God." The first reward that you will get is one thousand clothes to wear (the book says dresses though) and a crown for your head,  then you will be told to enter Paradise. Then one lac (1 lac or lakh = 100,000) angels will greet you and each angel will have one present and they will accompany you and carry you to one thousand palaces of light. ONE THOUSAND PALACES OF LIGHT!!! LIGHT!!! :D

The Salat to End All Salat: Sunday

I was reading in The Book of Religious Learnings (Ihya Ulum-Id-Din) and I came across some salat that make Tahajjud look like a mere "Bismillah". These are the most intense prayers I've ever heard of, and they yield some of the biggest rewards I've too.

**I'm not making this up. This book is very well known, and the author says these prayers an on the authority of the Prophet (SAW) himself.

Also, I don't know if these rukaa (i.e if the prayer calls for something like 12 rukaa) are all in one big prayer, or if it's broken up into groups of 2 or what. Although, I'd imagine that they should be done in groups of 2 rukaa's. Since, any time we have to do some funny number like that, we do it in 2's, like for night prayer, or taraweeh. 

Sunday

4 Rakaa's

Recite in each rakaa:

• Al-Fatiha (as usual)
• Amanar Rasul: 2:285-286 In the Quran
• 285) Amana alrrasoolu bima onzila ilayhi min rabbihi waalmuminoona kullun amana biAllahi wamalaikatihi wakutubihi warusulihi la nufarriqu bayna ahadin min rusulihi waqaloo samiAAna waataAAna ghufranaka rabbana wailayka almaseeru
• 286) La yukallifu Allahu nafsan illa wusAAaha laha ma kasabat waAAalayha ma iktasabat rabbana la tuakhithna in naseena aw akhtana rabbana wala tahmil AAalayna isran kama hamaltahu AAala allatheena min qablina rabbana wala tuhammilna ma la taqata lana bihi waoAAfu AAanna waighfir lana wairhamna anta mawlana faonsurna AAala alqawmi alkafireena
• 
  
• 285) The Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and (so do) the believers. Each one believes in Allah, His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers. (They say), "We make no distinction between one another of His Messengers" - and they say, "We hear, and we obey. (We seek) Your Forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the return (of all)."
• 286) Allah burdens not a person beyond his scope. He gets reward for that (good) which he has earned, and he is punished for that (evil) which he has earned. "Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error, our Lord! Lay not on us a burden like that which You did lay on those before us (Jews and Christians); our Lord! Put not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Pardon us and grant us Forgiveness. Have mercy on us. You are our Maula (Patron, Supporter and Protector, etc.) and give us victory over the disbelieving people. "

Innumerable merits will be written for you like the number of Christian males and females. 

Come back next week for Monday's Prayer!
