Among the various types of prayers recommended in Shia teachings, the Tahajjud prayer, or the night prayer, holds a distinguished place during Ramazan. Prayed in the last third of the night, it is viewed as a profound opportunity for personal supplication and introspection. It is recommended to pray at least two units of Salah followed by sincere du’as, allowing worshippers to seek closeness to Allah during this serene period of the night.
Laylat al-Qadr (The Night of Decree)
Among the most revered nights during Ramazan is Laylat al-Qadr, which, according to Shia belief, is the night when the Qur’an was first revealed. This night is said to hold greater merit than a thousand months. Shia Muslims often dedicate the odd-numbered nights of the last ten days of Ramazan to seek this momentous night, engaging fervently in specialized prayers, supplications, and Qur’an recitation. The prayers conducted on this night incorporate specific supplications like “Du’a al-Jawshan al-Kabir,” which is filled with solemn requests for protection and mercy.
