Syedi Mazoon Saheb AAB does a short Daily Zikr each day in Shehrullah from the anecdotes in Histories of Panjatan, Imam & Duat to benefit our souls & bodies, our lives & our Hereafter.
The month of Rabiul Aakhar is indeed the month of Milads: the Milad of Imam-uz-Zaman on the 4th and the Milad of three Dais, the 52nd, 53rd and 54th Dai-z-zaman TUS (20th, 29th and 26th Rabiul Aakhar respectively). The flow of barakaat continues from the beginning of the month right until the end....
In the Sijill, Imam Aamir informs Maulatuna Hurratul Malika AS that he has been blessed with a son and successor whom, “Allah Ta’ala has brought forth from the essence of prophecy, light brought forth from light.” This is a powerful image of one Imam coming after another from a unified source of light...
As we celebrate Syedna Burhanuddin’s Milad, we do not simply celebrate an individual’s birth. We celebrate the day in which a divine star was born, when light came forth from light...Click here to read further.

Our Mawaali Tahereen have guided us to the manner in which we should do bandagi and pray Tahajjud as per the injunction in the Quran, "And for a part of the night, pray Tahajjud (keep vigil) therewith as a Nafilat (supererogatory devotion) for you. It may be that your Lord will raise you to a praiseworthy station" (Surat ul-Isra’: 79). In that vein this section is published as a guide to praying Bihori with accompanying text and audio and translation of Munajaat ‘ya zal-ma’aali and Nisful Layl Doas.
NOTES:
While praying Bihori, especially in Layali Fazela and Lailatul Jumo’a, Mumineen should begin by praying the 5 Salaams in Section A :
If you get late in starting the Bihori namaz and are concerned that Nisful-Layl time will end then these salaams can also be prayed after Nisful Layl namaaz.

The most essential parts of Bihori Namaz are sections B and D: Istiftaah, Nisful Layl, Tahajjud, Wahshatul Quboor and Shafa’-watar.
Time of Nisful Layl: Nisful Layl literally means the middle of the night and should be prayed after its time begins, i.e. the time of zawaal (zohor time) except at night [if zohor time is at 12.44PM then Nisful Layl time is 12.44AM]. Nisful Layl is adaa for one ghari of the night after Nisful Layl time begins (one ghari is calculated by adding the number of hours and minutes from sunset to sunrise and dividing by 12).
If you are unable to pray Nisful Layl at that time but wake up a little earlier before Sihori time then you should pray all the namaz in the Bihori except Nisful Layl (you can pray Salaatul-Layl instead of Nisful Layl). If only a short time remains before Sihori time ends then you should pray Shafa Watar.
This is the most essential part of Bihori Namaz (alongside section D):.
Mumineen are encouraged to pray either all or one or two of these salaams each night after Tahajjud but before Shafa’ Watar Namaz. These include:
These are salaams that Mumineen are encouraged to pray either all or one or two each night after Tahajjud but before Shafa’ Watar Namaz.

This is also an essential part of Bihori Namaz.
Shafa time is the time before Sihori and ends when Fajr time starts.
If you are unable to pray Nisful Layl at that time but wake up a little earlier before Sihori time then you should pray all the namaz in the Bihori except Nisful Layl (you can pray Salaatul-Layl instead of Nisful Layl). If only a short time remains before Sihori time ends then you should pray Shafa Watar.

Every morning before Fajr namaaz, especially in Shehrullah, Sanaa’ is recited in our Masjids. Sanaa’ literally means “praise”, and in this case, it means praise of Allah Ta’ala. The tradition of reciting Sanaa’ traces its origins to Imam Mohammed ul Baqir’s SA statement that, in the last part of every night, and the entirety of Friday eve (Jumo’a ni raat), a firishta announces that he is prepared to forgive sins and grant wishes. Sanaa’ is composed of various praises of Allah Ta’ala from ayats of the Qur’an Majeed, verses of munajaat (supplication to Allah Ta’ala) and qasidas in praise of A’immat (Aalu Taha).
An audio of Sanaa’ is presented on Fatemidawat.com, recited by Husain bhai Arsiwala.
