Aamal of Masjid Jamkaran

In his book of al-Najm al-Thaqib, Shaykh al-Nuri, may Allah have mercy upon him, has quoted the story of building the mosque of Jamkaran, a town about five kilometers away from the holy city of Qum, by the command of the Patron of the Age (a.s.). He has thus quoted Imam al-Mahdi(a.s.) as saying to Hasan al-Mathulah of Jamkaran, “Advice people to visit frequently and venerably this place and to offer four units of prayer therein; two units as greeting of the mosque in each unit they should recite Surah al-Faatehah once and repeat Surah al-Tawheed (or al-Ikhlaas) seven times. In the genuflection and prostration of this prayer, they may repeat the doxologies of glorifying God seven times. As for the other two-unit prayer, they may dedicate it to Imam al-Mahdi(a.s.). In the first unit, they may recite Surah al-Faatehah, but when they reach this holy verse, they should repeat it one hundred times:

(إياك نعبد وإياك نستعين)
