He has also bestowed three nights to them that He has not granted anyone else.
They are the thirteenth, the fourteenth and the fifteenth nights of each month.
God has granted this nation three Chapters which He has not granted any other nation.
They are the Chapters Ya Sin, Tabarakul Mulk and Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad
These three things combined constitute the noblest thing that has been granted to this nation.‟ ” He (as) was asked, “How can these three be combined?” He (as) replied, “You can pray on these three nights as below in these three months.
