Purpose
Muslims recite the Mujeer for absolution and to be saved from the fire of Akhirah.[6][unreliable source?][7][unreliable source?] In the opinion of Ayatollah Mojtahedi everyone who reads the Du'a in the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth days of Ramadan will have their sins forgiven.[8] Some Shia Muslims claim that saying the prayer "is also very effective for the cure of the sick, fulfillment of debts, acquisition of wealth and relief from sorrows."[9]
