After the recitation of this Dua, there are many other supplications for the night of Baraa-ah.

“Allahuma Sah-hil A’layna ma Qaddarta fi Hadhi hil laylatil Mubarakah wa la tahrimna min barakati hadhi hil layla, waj a’l aakhira kalaamina bish shaahadati wa aakhiru u’mrina bis sa-a’dathi wa anzilna manzilash shuhada-I was saliheen, wa ha sun a ulaaika rafeeqa, bi rahmatika Ya
Arhamar Rahimeen.”​

“O’ Allah! Ease for us what You have decreed in this blessed night, do not prohibit us from the blessings of this night, make the last of our words the testification of faith and the last of our lives with happiness, and grant us the status of the martyrs and the pious, and how excellent are they in companionship; with Your mercy, O’ Most Merciful of those who have mercy.”​

Sayedina Shamsul Aulia Sultaanul Asfiya Al-Murshid Al-Haadi Khwaja Hafiz Mohammad Ali Shah رضي الله عنه has mentioned that it is written in the various books of the Mashaaikh-e-Izaam, that after Salaatul Esha one should perform thirty rakaats of Salaah, in every rakaat, one shouldrecite after Surah Fateha, Surah Ikhlaas 3 times and Surah Qadr once. After the completion of this Salaah one should recite the following praise and thana once:

“There is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, He has no partner; glorybe to Allah, all praise to Allah, there is none worthy of worship but Allah, and Allah is The Greatest; and there is no power nor might except from Allah, The Most High, The Great.”​

After this send one hundred salutations upon the master, Allah’s Messenger ﷺ and recite Ayatul Kursi one hundred times, thereafter make
the following Dua,

“Allahuma ya Rabbi inni as-aluka bi wajhikal kareemi in kunta katabtani fi ummil kitaabi shaqiyan, famhu a’nni ismash shaqaa-I, wa in kunta
Qadarta A’layya Soo-an fas rifhu a’nni, wa simni, ilas sanatil mustaqbilati waj a’l li naseeban min kulli khairin qasamtuhu bayna I’baadikas Salihin.”​

“O’ Allah, my Lord! I ask You through Your Noble Countenance, if You have recorded me in the origin of scriptures as being miserable, then erase from me the name of miserable. And if You have decreed an evil for me then remove it from my path, save me until the following year, grant me a fortune of every good that You have divided amongst Your pious servants. O’ All-Living, O’ All Sufficient, with Your mercy I seek salvation.”​

In another narration it has been written that one should read 30 rakaats of Salaah, in each rakaat after Surah Fateha, Surah Qadr, Surah Ikhlaas, Surah Falaq and Surah Naas three times. The following Dua has also been advised to be recited on the night of Bara’ah,

“O’ Allah! Make us from the most of Your servants in fortune from every good that You divide amongst Your servants during this night, from light through which You guide, or from mercy that You spread, or sustenance that You multiply, or calamity that You prevent, or evil that You remove, or bounty that You divide amongst the believers, with the Truth of there is none worthy of worship but You. O’ Allah! Grant me a pure heart from ascribing partners to You, free from sin, not a disbeliever nor miserable. I rub my face in the sand for my Master, and it is the right of my Master that faces are rubbed in the sand for him; my transitory face has prostrated for Your Eternal Countenance; my Lord! Do not disfigure a face that has feel in prostration to You.”

Mention your needs that you wish fulfilled, thereafter continue

“O’ Allah! Possessor of all blessings, upon who no favour is done, O’ One of Majesty and Honour, O’ One of Eternity and Blessings, there is no one worthy of worship but You. O’ Support of those who seek You, O’ Companion of those who seek Your companionship, O’ Saviour of those who ask Your salvation, and O’ Most Merciful of those who have mercy. O’ Allah! If You have recorded me in the origin of the book with You, as miserable and poverty stricken, then remove from me the name of miserable, and maintain me in the origin of the book with You, as happy and wealthy. And if You have recorded me in the origin of the book with You, as prohibited and restricted in sustenance, then remove my prohibition and the restriction of my sustenance, and record me as one blessed with good fortune, and abundant in sustenance. Verily, You have said in the origin of the book: [Allah removes what He wills and He authenticates, and with Him is the origin of the book.”​

On this night also one can read 2 rakaats of nafil for one’s dire needs and increase in sustenance. The elders and the pious have read this Salaah and have achieved their desires. In every rakaat after Surah Fateha read a 1000 times Surah Ikhlaas, Insha-Allah one will attain one’s desire.
