Dugana Tahiyyatul Wudhu (Ablution)
It is to be understood clearly that after wudhu (Ablution) offering Namaz (prayer) two rakat Tahiyyatul wudhu is Traditional (sunnat). Its performance brings lot of virtues. Hzt. Mehdi Alahis Salam also strictly instructed to offer this prayer. He called the non performers of this Salat (Namaz) as a miser in religion.
Important: In Saheeh Muslim etc. it is narrated by Aqba bin Amer that Hzt. Rasoolullah Sal'am said that there is no Muslim who makes wudhu (Ablution) properly, stands up and offers two rakat Nafil prayer sincerely, then Heaven becomes his reward. (Ghayatul Autar)
Hzt. Nabi Kareem Sallam heard the sound of foot steps of Hzt. Bilal Raz. walking infront of him in Heaven, in Shaba-e-Miraj. In the morning Hzt. Sal'am asked him what virtuous deed he is performing that he heard the sound of his steps before him, Hzt. Bilal Raz. replied that ‘O’ prophet of Allah, when ever I made wudhu, I perform two rakats prayer. (Saheeh Bukhari)
Important: Even after taking bath, these two rakats are Mustaheb (Preferable) because with every bath wudhu is compulsory. (Durre Mukhtar)
It is virtuous to offer Tahyyatul wudhu before the wudhu is dried up. (Durre Mukhtar)
Intent (Niyyat) for Dugana Tahiyyatul Wudhu
(Zaoq Shaoq Namaz) I intended to offer two rakats Nafil Tahiyyatul wudhu for the sake of
Allah, in following of the Mahdi-e-Mawood, turning my face towards the Kabah Allaho Akber.
(1)
(1) This is called Takber-e-Tahreemi. It is
said that to the person performing prayer the action which we permitted before this
Takbir, will become prohibited after it. (i.e. After this he has to attend to the Salah
(prayer) only. Since the animals are also slaughtered with the Takbir, similarly the
desire (Nafs) shall also be slaughtered by the Takbir-e-Tahreemi and also the Takbirs for
change in the position of prayer (Namaz).
______________________________________________________________________________
Allah says in the Holy Quran;
(64-2) Allah sees well all that you do.
The Holy Prophet Said:
Hzt. 'Omer Ibn-ulkhatab, narrated that a person asked Hzt. Rasoolullah Sal'am, what is
perfection (Ahsan). He said offer prayer to Allah, as if you are seeing Him. If you are
unable to see Him, then know that Allah is seeing you. (Mishkath Shareef)
‘O’ worshipper of Allah, be sure that Allah is not only Omnipresent but also knows every thing which comes to ones thoughts or heart. Thus fearing Allah, offer prayer to Allah and with concentration of mind, purity of heart, avoiding evil thoughts and attractions in order to win Allah’s blessings which enables one to reach the highest position and get the vision of Allah.
In prayer the eyes should not go beyond the place of sijdah.
Important: Women at the time of saying Takbeer Tahreem, Allah-o-Akber, should lift both the hands up to the shoulders and then place the right palm over the back of the left hand below the breast. The hands should not be out of the sleeves. (Ghayatul Autar)
After Niyyat (Intent) for the Namaz (prayer), recite this sana (Praise of Allah) slowly.
All glory be to Thee. o’ Allah, praise be to Thee, blessed is Thy name and exalted.
Thy Majesty, and there is none worthy of worship besides Thee.
there after recite Tawwuz:
I take my self to Allah for refuge from the cursed Shaitan (Devil)
Then recite Tasmia
In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the Merciful.
Then recite Soorah Fatiha to the last.
All praise is due to Allah. The Lord of the world the Beneficent. The Merciful the master
of
the Day of Judgement. Thee alone we worship and the Thee alone we ask for help.
Guide us to the straight path, the path of those whom, Thou has favoured, not (the path of
those who earn anger nor of) those who go astray. Amin. (Kanzul Daqaiq)
In every prayer, the Imam and Muqtadi or the person performing Namaz alone should say “Amin” slowly a humble request to God for acceptance of the prayer made in the Soorah Fatiha.
In the first two rakats of every Farz Namaz (prayer) and in all the rakats of Vitr, Sunnat and Nafil Namaz (prayer) some other Surah or a big verse or three small verses of the Holy Quran should be recited compulsorily (Wajib) after the Soora-e-Fatiha. This is called Zamm-e-Soora (Quduri, Hadaya).
In two rakats of Tahiyyatul wudhu, in the first rakat after Soora-e-Fatiha, the following Holy Verses (Aayat) are to be recited. —-
(A3-A135) And those who having done some thing to be ashemed of or wronged their own
souls earnestly bring God to mind and ask for forgiveness for their sins and who can
forgive
their sins except Allah and are never obstinate in persisting knowingly in (the wrong)
they
have done.
After this saying Allaho Akber bow down in the Ruku, catch hold of the knees with both the hands by bowing down through the back in a way that the head and the back should be in the same level, evenly. And recite the following Tasbeeh three, five or seven times.
i.e. The lord in pure and great.
Important: But the women in Ruku should bow a little resting the hands with out spreading the fingers wide but keep them close to one another on the knees losely, bend the knees drawing close together.
After Ruku resume standing position saying
Allah listens to one who praises Him.
In position of standing erect saying
And all the praise is for Allah.
Then saying Allah-o-Akber go in to the sijdah in the manner that first of all put on the ground the knees, then the hands and then place the nose, and there after the forehead should touch the ground. Keep the fingers of both the hands close together pointing towards Qibla below the ears, in such a way that the thumbs rest parallel to the ears. The wrists and elbows are to be held above the ground and the stomach is kept apart from the thighs: the arms remain away from the ribs; the sight shall rest in the direction of the nose and the feet stand behind on the toes. But the women should keep all these parts close and perform sijdah. In sijdah recite the following Tasbeeh three, five or seven times
How glorious is my Lord, the most high.
There after saying Allah-o-Akber raise the head, sit erect and recite this Dua once
‘O’ God pardon me and be Merciful to me give me peace of mind, guide me on right
path and
provide me with subsistance. (Ghayatul Autar)
Then saying Allah-o-Akber again perform the second sijdah with reciting the same Tasbeeh, three, five or seven times. Then stand up doing the reverse as was done while going into the Sijdah/ saying Allah-o-Akber. Then in the second rakat recite Surah-e-Fatiha and then recite this Holy verse. ———
(S4-A110) One who commits a sin or does injustice to him-self and seeks Allah’s
pardon,
he will find Allah kind and merciful to him.
Important: Reciting of the said Aayat at the time of saying Tahiyyatul wudhu prayer (Dugana) by Haz. Mahdi-e-Maood Alaihis Salam is narrated through Hzt, Bandagi Miyan Shah Dilawar Raz, in PANJ FAZAIL. Therefore these Aayat are recited by the blessed group. After this the second rakat is performed in the similar way with Takbeerat, (calls for change) Ruku, Sijdah and the invocations then sitting erect keeping both knees in such a way that the hips are placed on the calf spreading flat the left leg on the ground. The right foot standing on toe facing the direction of Qibla and the hands rest on the thighs near the knees with fingers spread. But the women should sit on the left buttock, streching out their feet in the right side direction and place the fingers of both hands on knees and recite the Atahiyat:(1) —
______________________________________________________________________________
(1) The origin of Atahiyat is
that when the prophet of Allah (PBUH) reached to the highest
place during the M'eraj, then Allah asked him to sit, then the prophet Sal'am said
“Atahiyatu
Lillahi Was Salwatu Watayyabatu” i.e. The prophet Sal'am presented as a token of
gratitute
the prayers performed orally and physically to Allah. Then the
“Assalam Aleka Ya Ayuhun Nabi Wa-Rahmat ullahi Wa Barkatahu” i.e. ‘O’ Prophet, sal'am
peace be on you and blessing and mercy of Allah upon you. Then An-Hazrat Sal'am submitted
“Assalam-u-Alena Wa Ibadullahi Al Ssalehin” i.e. bless of Allah be upon us, and on the pious
servants of Allah. Then the Angles said “Ashad wan Laillahaillallahu Wa Ashadwanna
Mohammedan Abduhu Wa Rasoolahu” i.e. We bear witness that there is no God but Allah
and that Mohammed (PBUH) is His servant and Messenger. (Ghayatul Autar)
______________________________________________________________________________
After this recite the following Durood-e-Ibrahim:—
‘O’ Allah shower thy blessing on Mohammed and the decendants of Mohammed as
Thou didst
shower Thy blessing on Ibrahim and the decendants of Ibrahim, verily Thou art praise
worthy
and the glorious. (Zaoq Shaoq Namaz)
An other Darood Shareef:-
‘O’ Allah glorify Mohammed and the decendants of Mohammed as Thou didst glorify
Ibrahim
and the decendants of Ibrahim, verily Thou art the praise worthy and the glorious.
(Ghayatul Autar)
After Durood Shareef recite the following Dua.
1.
’O’ Lord give us good reward in this world and
hearafter and save us from the fire of the hell.
2.
Lord forgive me and my parents and all belivers on the day
of judgement.
3.
‘O’ Lord forgive me and my parents and also
those who come to my house, having faith in
Allah and the believers in Allah, men as well as women with your extreme mercy and
kindness,
‘O’ Master with greatest Mercy.
4.
‘O’ Lord forgive, my parents, my teachers and belivers and all the spiritual guides and believers
in Allah who enter my house. Forgive all Momin men and women. All Muslim men and women,
alive or dead by Thy mercy beyond measures. (Zaoq Shaoq Namaz)
After this with the intention of coming out of prayer (namaz) turn the face right and to the left shoulders while saying As Salam Alaikum, Rahmatullahi (peace be upon you and the Mercy of Allah). At that time we must think of angels on the right and left shoulders. (Ghayatul Autar)

After this
Recite The following Invocation in Sijdah-e-Munajat
(Sijdah for Submissions)
1.
‘O’ Allah make suffice Thy love, Thy desire, and

sustainer, for all the sins that I
committed consciously or unconsciously, secretly or openly, I apologise to Thee for, the

forgiver
of sinners. I beg such forgivenness of Allah, who is my cherisher, for all the sins and
mistakes and I seek Mercy of Allah and repent sincerely, for all my commitments.
In PANJ FAZAIL Through Hzt, Bandagi Miyan Shah Dilawer Raz. it is narrated that Hzt, Mahdi Alahis Salam had recited the above invocation in “Sajdah-e-Munajat of Duggana-e-Tahiyyatul Wudhu, and Duggana-e-Lailatul Qadr.
3.

it with my tongue. Alas, I committed great sins and who else will pardon such great sins
except my great cherisher.
4.
‘O’ Allah forgive my parents my teachers and
believers and all the religious guides and
any believer who enter my house. Forgive all Muslim men and women.
5.

the world here after and protect us from the
fire of the hell.
6.
‘O’ Lord give us belief in Mahdi Alaihis Salam
as had been given for Hzt. Mohammed Sal'am.
(Zaoq Shaoq Namaz)
Important: The procedure of performing dua (invocation) in the sajdah after Dugana Tahiyyatul wudhu (Sajdah Munajat) is in the following of the practice of Hzt. Mehdi Alaihis Salam. This is the desirable practice and acceptable to Allah. This action is as per the tradition of the Holy Prophet Hzt. Mohammed Sallam. Therefore Maulana Hzt. Syed Ashraf Sahib Shamsi in his Booklet “DUA” has given reasons. An extract of the same is narrated as follows.—-
Allah says—-
(S7-A55) Call Allah secretly and humbly.
It is written in Tafseer-e-Baizavi that—
Invocations (Dua) offered secretly show sincerity.
And Imam Fakhruddin Razi says in his Tafseer Kabir:—-
The most important thing in invocation (Dua) is to do it secretly. There are so many
reasons for
it. The first reason is that Allah has ordered to do so, it is evident from the
commandments of
the Almighty Allah in the Holy Quran. The term used in the Holy Book is indicative of the
compulsory nature. Hence it would be essential (wajib) to call Allah secretly. If it is
not so
atleast it would be nearer to it. Allah does not like those who go beyond limits. This
shows that
Allah does not love those who disobey Allah's commands for performance of invocations
(Dua)
secretly and humbly. If the love of God means virtue, then the said Aayat will mean that
those
who do not make dua humbly and secretly, Allah will neither reward them nor show any
favour
to them. One who posses these evil qualities will be punishable because he does not care
for
commandments of Allah. 'Innahu La yuhabbul Motadin'. In short this Holy Quranic verse is a
serious warning to these who do not perform their invocations (Dua) secretly.
Hadees Shareef from Sunnan-e-Abudawood Raz.
Hzt. Nabi Kareem Sal'am said a man in Sijdah, comes nearer to Allah. So you offer your
invocations (Dua) in Sijdah.
Surah-e-Fatiha is recited in every Rakat in every prayer. In this soora Allah Himself has instructed us how to offer invocation (Dua) and Hzt. Rasool-e-Khuda Sal'am said, Afzaludua Alhamdulilahi i.e. “The best Dua is ”Alhamdulilahi
In every prayer (Namaz) after Durood-e-Shareef, Dua-e-Masoora is recited.
In view of the above offering of Dua in sijdah is essential (Wajib)
There fore after Namaz-e-Farz raising up hands for invocations (Dua) is not proved but it is against Sunnat. And the practice of the Mahdavia are based upon the highest piety and higher laws.
