NEW to Islam, need Help

[Guest Jamelao]

As-salaamu 'aleikum,

I reverted to Shia Islam 1 year ago and wanted to ask if someone could list me highly recommended Prayers and Duas, their times when to be prayed, and location, etc. For example: I want to know good daily prayers like the prayers on Friday. I don't know anything about these. Or special actions that should be done on special days of the week. You know... just give me everything you know and are sure about ^^

I'm gonna list the things i have learned so far, or I'm learning, or i know that i want to learn. Just so that it is not repeated. I know the benefits and times of recitation for the following prayers:

- 5 daily Prayers,       Salat al Layl,        Ayat al Kursi,         Dua Imam e Zaman,        Dua al-Ma'rifa-tul-Imam,         Dua al-Ghareeq,        Dua al-Ahd,    Dua al-Nudba,     

Thank you very much for your help.  Please also state good literature for a beginner (hadith, other books)

The GOAL for me is to build a SOLID BASIS, a steadfast and consistent level of iman, because i had problems with that (flactuations). I need a good routine of Prayer, Dua, Deeds, Actions etc. 

Please don't state the obvious like: Reading the holy Book, or saying Takbir ( xxx times a day), etc. That is what I'm trying to achieve anyways. 

Thank you! May God bless you and give you the same reward for every word i recite or read.

Wa alaykum asalam.

Try doing dua kumayl every Thursday night and dua hazeen after salatul layl.

You could even perform the nawafil prayer before every obligatory prayer if you want a lot of reward.

Reading a few pages of Quran everyday is also very good.

Salam. In order to get closer to Allah, read dhikr, the beautiful names of Allah. Ya Allah: يَااَلله  Laa Ilaaha Illallaah لاَ إِلهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ Al H'aafiz'u  الحافظ etc. 

Read Salawat (durood) to Prophet SA and mention Ahlyl Bayt AS. 

Allah Humma Salle Ala Muhammadin Wa Aal-e-Muhammad, Wa Aj'jil Farajahum

اللهم صل على محمد وآل محمد وعجل فرجهم

Peace and blessings be upon Muhammad and his pure progeny and may Allah SWT hasten his (atfs) reappearance.

Al Sahifa Alsajadia (الصحيفة السجادية) is filled with Ad'ia by Imam Al Sajad Alayh Alasalam.

Mafateeh Aljinan ( مفاتيح الجنان) is a book with mainly compiled of prayers and Ad'ia from different imams a.s.

Theea Alsaliheen (ضياء الصالحين) is also mainly compiled with Ad'ia and prayers.

 

MUST HAVE BOOKS

Salaam brother, 

Mafatih ul Jinan is the best book for duas and Aamaal round the year. Sahifae Sajjadiyah is another great book for some beautiful duas. Both the books are available online.
