Dua Jawshan Kabeer
Transmitted by the Prophet Muhammad (s) to Imam Ali (a.s.) on the night of the Battle of Badr, when Jibreel descended and instructed the Prophet to replace his coat of armor with this dua as divine protection — jawshan means armor. Contains 1,000 Names and Attributes of Allah across 100 sections, each ending with: "Glory be to You, there is no God but You — Help! Help! Save us from the Fire." Imam al-Sadiq (a.s.) specifically recommended reciting Jawshan Kabeer on the nights of Qadr. Completing all 100 sections on these blessed nights is among the most virtuous acts one can perform.
