In his book of al-Kalim al-±ayyib, Sayyid `Al¢ Kh¡n says, “The following is a form of seeking aid from The Argument
of Allah and the Patron of the Age (Imam al-Mahd¢)—peace be upon him: Wherever you are, you may offer a two-
unit prayer, reading S£rah al-F¡ti¦ah and any other one in each unit. Yet, it is advisable to read S£rah al-Fat¦ (No.
48) in the first unit and S£rah al-Na¥r (No. 110) in the second. You may then stand up, facing the kiblah direction
under the sky and then say the following:
