 Download PDF from Iqbal al Amal^New     Details about the day       

It is the day when the earth was spread for the advantage of human beings. The phrase "Dahwul Ardh" literally means "The spread of the earth". On this day Allah(swt)   spread out ALL the land on the Earth under the Ka`bah.

In another tradition it is reported that the first Rahmah & blessing descended on this very day....It is also reported on the authority of Imam Ali bin Moosa Ar Riza (A.S.) that tonight the two distinguished Prophets ie  Prophet Ibrahim (A.S.) and Prophet E'esaa (A.S.) were born.
Therefore it is a highly blessed night & day to be spent in the prayers and supplications.

1) Observe fast today. Many benefits have been mentioned of Fasting on this day eg Kaffarah (Penitence) for his sins of seventy (70) years. b.In another tradition, if a person fasts on this day, it would be equivalent to fasting 60 months!
2) Have a Ghusl (bath.)

3) Pray a 2 Rak-a't Salaat at the time of "Chasht"" (After sunrise and before breakfast time) as under"
  (i) In every Rak-a't, after the recitation of Soorah Al Faatih'ah, recite Surah Ash Shams  S 91-  5 times
