Night Vigil (Prayers)
The essence of the practices of the Naqshbandī shaykhs is built on the pillar (rukn) of prayer (šalāħ)
and on remembrance of God (dhikrullāh). For those desiring high stations and distinguished ranks, the
observance of prayer is the key. The seekers must strive to imitate their shaykhs in the observance of not
only the obligatory prayers, but the supererogatory sunan and nawāfil prayers that the shaykhs maintain
as a constant daily practices. You will find the following practices are based around the five obligatory
prayers, in addition to the night vigil, which consists of šalātu ’n-najāt, Šalātu ’sh-shukr, Šalātu ’t-tasbīh, and
šalātu ’t-tahajjud.
Thus, it is incumbent on the seeker—before attempting the large number of voluntary forms of
prayer described in this book—to learn and practice the fundamental principles of the prescribed prayers
(Šalāt) correctly, based on the prescription of a recognized school (madhhab) of Islamic jurisprudence
(fiqh). These include purification from greater or lesser impurities (ţahārah) consisting of the greater
ablution (ghusl) or the lesser (wuļu); proper intention (nīyyat); facing the qiblah determined according to
the principles of the madhhab; and, where possible, praying in congregation. Additionally, the integrals
of the prayers should be observed correctly, including the proper movements, for the Prophet ÿ said,
“There is no prayer for one who does not straighten his back in bowing (ruku‘) and prostration (sujūd).” Thus the
new seeker in this Way, if not already acquainted and familiar with these fundamentals, must seek out an
authorized teacher and learn them.
Šalātu ’n-Najāt
One should get up at least one hour before Fajr since it is at this time that the gate of the Mercy of
God, Who is Powerful and Sublime, is opened and the time when the great shaykhs look at their murīds.
One should get up and perform ablution and perform two rak¿ats of Taħīyyatu ¿l-wuļu and then stand up,
facing the Qiblah and ask that God, Exalted and Glorious, to purify oneself from the anger of one’s nafs
and, with this intention, one should then recite Yā Ħalīm 100 times, and then one should seek protection
from one’s external and internal enemies, and from both heavenly and earthly misfortune, reciting Yā
ĦafīƸ 100 times.
Whoever wishes to reach the station of the People of Determination must keep up these practices.
Our shaykhs tell us about the importance of this time and its virtues, saying: “If a person gets up one
hour before Fajr and does nothing, not even praying, not even making tasbīħ, but gets up to drink
something, such as coffee or tea, or eat a morsel of food, then he must also be raised with the vigilant
people (ahlu ¿s-sahar).”
Šalātu ’n-Najāt, the Prayer of Salvation, is prayed according to the following steps:
In the first rak¿at read Sūratu ’l-Fātiħah as usual. ﺍﻟﻔﺎﲢﺔ ﺍﻟﺸﺮﻳﻔﺔ

God! There is no god but He - the Living, the Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him nor sleep. His are all t
heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede in His presence except as He permitteth? He knoweth what (appe
creatures as) before or after or behind them. Nor shall they compass aught of His knowledge except as He willeth. His
extend over the heavens and the earth, and He feeleth no fatigue in guarding and preserving them for He is the Mo
Supreme (in glory).
God speaks the Truth.

Šalātu-t-Tasābīħ
In the following prayers, to keep track of any given number of recitations, it is permitted to lightly
press one finger of each hand in turn, in whatever position they are (i.e., crossed or hanging at the sides).
However, the an-Najāt and Tasbīħ prayers are for the People of Determination and the Prepared; these
prayers are not for beginners.
These are four rak¿ats prayed with a taslīm between them. This prayer can be done in two ways, but we have
included only the one the Shaykh uses (with the taslīm at the end of the fourth rak¿at). The tasbīħ which is recited
during this prayer is:
Subħānallāhi wa ’l-ħamdulillāhi wa lā illāha ill-Allāh ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻥ ﺍﻪﻠﻟ ﻭﺍﳊﻤﺪ ﻪﻠﻟ ﻭﻻ ﺇﻟﻪ ﺇﻻ ﺍﻪﻠﻟ ﻭﺍﻪﻠﻟ ﺃﻛﱪ
w’allāhu akbar.
Glory be to God! Praise be to God! There is no god but God, and God is Greatest.
At the end of every set of 10 or 15 tasbīħs the Shaykh ﻭ ﻻ ﺣﹶﻮﹾﻝَ ﻭﻻ ﻗُﻮﱠﺓﹶ ﺇﻻ ﺑِﺎﻪﻠﻟِ ﺍﻟﻌﹶﻠﻲﹼ ﺍﻟﻌﹶﻈﻴﻢ
adds: wa lā ħawla wa lā quwwata illa billāhi ’l-¿Alīyyi
’l-¿ĀƸīm.
There is no power and no strength save in God, the Most High, the Great.
The total number of tasbīħs recited is 300, with 75 in each rak¿at. Also, the tasbīħs is added to the regular parts of the
prayer. We have observed the Shaykh using the following method:
WHEN TASBIĦ IS RECITED NUMBER OF TIMES
After reciting the Thanā’, before Sūratu ’l-Fātiħah 15
After reciting Sūratu ’l-Fātiħah and two Sūratu ’l-Ikhlās. 10
In ruk¿u, (bowing position) 10
In qiyām (standing position), after the ruk¿u 10
In the first sajda (prostration) 10
In jalsa (sitting position), after the first sajda 10
In the second sajda 10
Sub-total for first rak¿at 75
The second rak¿at is performed as above (no tasbīħs is recited in the 75
final jalsa, only tashahhud)
The third rak¿at is performed as above 75
The fourth rak¿at is performed as above (no tasbīħs are recited in the 75
final jalsa, only tashahhud)
Šalātu-t-Tahajjud
This is observed as eight rak¿ats prayed in sets of two rak¿ats with taslīm between them. The prayer
is essentially identical to Salatu-sh-Shukr.
