and mention your legitimate desires

Just before sunset when Friday is getting over say "Subhaanaka laa ilaaha illaa anta yaa hannaanu yaa mannaanu yaa badeeussamaawaati wal arz yaa dal jalaali wal ikraam "

Shaykh al-±£s¢ has mentioned that the last hour of Friday, which lasts to sunset, is the hour in which prayers are responded. Therefore, it is required to pray Almighty Allah insistently at that hour. It has been also narrated that this hour begins when half of the sun disk sets and the other half only remains visible. Lady F¡§imah al-Zahr¡', peace be upon her, used to pray Almighty Allah at this hour so that her prayers be answered. It is also recommended to say the following litany that is reported from the Holy Prophet, peace be upon him and his Household:

� إ�ال �ل1ه� إ ال� ان�ك� ب�ح� !sub¦¡naka l¡ il¡ha ill¡antaGlory be to You! There is no god save You س�
