PRAYERS FOR 15TH SHABAN TONIGHT
The Night of Bara`ah (nisf Sha`ban)
What Prayers are read in night 15th Shaban?
As recommended by Sultan Sheikh Nazim ar-Rabbani (KS), May allah Almighty raise their maqam continuously and bless their family, one may do prayers between Maghrib and Isha prayer.
A) It is advisable to take Ghusl 1 hour before Maghrib and pray 2 raka Sunnah. Perform Maghrib prayers.
B) 2 raka Nafl (x3 in total) and then after salaams 21 x Surah Ikhlas and the read Surah Yasin three times, and after each time, read a special du`a Nisf Shaban (below) with the following intentions:
1st reading Yasin with the niyyat (intention) of raising ones maqam, or station (and/or Long Life).
2nd reading Yasin with the niyyat (intention) of asking for rizq, Provision (Protection from Calamities).
3rd reading Yasin with the niyyat (intention) of protection from enemies (not being needy to anyone except Allah).
C) After Isha Prayer one can Read either:

b) 1,000 Surah Ikhlas Sharif
in any number of rakaat needed to complete the above, e.g. b) 40 rakaat in which 25 Ikhlas Sharif are read in each rakaat.
A way, which does come from Hadith and is mentioned in book Al-Ghunyatu li-Taalibiyi l-Haqq, a work prescribed to Sheikh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani (KS), consists of 100 rakaats. best of all is to pray these in 2-2-2 etc, though it would be acceptable to combine i four, six or eight rakats with one salaam. Sultan Sheikh Nazim ar-Rabbani (KS) prays two – two etc. In each rakaah you can pray Suratul Faitha and then ten (10) times Suratul Ikhlas. Alternative, is to pray 1 Surah Ikhlas in each Nafl prayer and then remaining balance in dhikr after.

English Translation of Dua Nisf Shaban
O Allah, Tireless Owner of Bounty. O Owner of Sublimity, Honor, Power, and Blessings.
There is no Allah except You, the Support of refugees and Neighbor of those who seek nearness, Guardian of the fearful.
O Allah, if you have written in Your Book that I be abject, deprived, banished, and tight-fisted,
then erase O Allah, through Your bounty,
my misery, deprivation, banishment, and stinginess
and establish me with You as happy, provided with blessings,
for surely You have said—and Your Word is True—
in Your Revealed Book on the tongue of Your Messenger,
“Allah blots out or confirms what He pleases, and with Him is the Mother of Books.” (13:39)
My God, by the Great Manifestation of the Night of the middle of the Noble Month of Sha`bān
“in which every affair of wisdom is made distinct and authorized,“(44:4)
remove from us calamities—those we know and those we do not know,
and Thou knowest best—for surely You are the Most Mighty, the Most Generous.
May Allah bless Muhammad (SWS) and his Family and Companions (RA).
