Chapter on Supplication Between the Units of Prayer (Rak‘at)

And you are to recite this supplication every night of the Month of Ramadan, from the beginning of the month until its end. It is as follows: “O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, I begin the glorification with praise of You عز وجل, and You عز وجل direct toward what is right through Your grace. I am certain that You عز وجل are the Most Merciful of those who show mercy, in the place of pardon and mercy, and the most severe of punishers in the place of retribution and vengeance, and the most mighty of the arrogant in the place of grandeur and greatness. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, You عز وجل have permitted me to supplicate and ask You عز وجل, so hear, O’ Hearer, my praise, and respond, O’ Most Merciful, to my call, and overlook, O’ Most Forgiving, my stumbling. How many times, O’ my God عز وجل, have You عز وجل relieved me of distress, and removed from me sorrows, and pardoned my stumbles, and spread Your mercy, and undone the tight knots of affliction. Praise be to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, who has not taken a partner or a child, and who has no partner in sovereignty, and who has no protector out of weakness, so magnify Him عز وجل with great magnification. Praise be to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, for all His عز وجل praises entirely, for all His عز وجل blessings entirely. Praise be to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, who has no rival in His عز وجل dominion, and no contender in His عز وجل command. Praise be to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, who has no partner in His عز وجل creation, and no resemblance in His عز وجل greatness. Praise be to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, whose command and praise are manifest throughout creation, whose glory is revealed through generosity, whose hand is extended in bounty, the one whose treasuries are never diminished, whose dominion never perishes, And whose abundant giving only increases Him عز وجل in generosity and graciousness. Indeed, He عز وجل is the All-Mighty, the Ever-Bestower. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, I ask You عز وجل for a little from much, while I am in great need of it, and You عز وجل are eternally without need of it. Even though it is much for me, it is easy and light for You عز وجل. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, I seek Your pardon for my sins, I seek Your overlooking of my faults, I seek Your clemency toward my oppression, I seek Your covering over my shameful deeds, And I seek Your forbearance with my many offenses, though I committed them in error and on purpose. This all gave me hope to ask You عز وجل for that which I do not deserve from You عز وجل. That which You عز وجل have granted me of Your mercy, and shown me of Your power, and made me know of Your response, has encouraged me to call upon You عز وجل while feeling secure, And to ask You عز وجل with familiarity, not in fear or dread, but with confidence in You عز وجل regarding what I turn to You عز وجل for. So if the answer is delayed from me, I blame You عز وجل out of my ignorance, while perhaps the delay is better for me due to Your knowledge of the outcomes of all affairs. I have not seen a generous Master more patient with a lowly servant, than You عز وجل are with me, O’ Lord عز وجل. You عز وجل call me, and I turn away from You عز وجل. You عز وجل show affection to me, and I show hatred toward You عز وجل, You عز وجل show kindness toward me, yet I do not accept it from You عز وجل as though I were above You عز وجل. But that did not prevent You عز وجل from having mercy on me, doing good to me, and favoring me with Your generosity and nobility. So have mercy on Your ignorant servant, and be generous to him through the excellence of Your beneficence, for indeed You عز وجل are Generous and Noble. Praise be to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Master of the Kingdom, Controller of the celestial orbits, Subjugator of the winds, Splitter of the dawn, Judge on the Day of Recompense, Lord عز وجل of the worlds. Praise be to Allah سبحانه وتعالى for His عز وجل forbearance despite His عز وجل knowledge, And praise be to Allah سبحانه وتعالى for His عز وجل pardon despite His عز وجل power, And praise be to Allah سبحانه وتعالى for the length of His عز وجل patience in His عز وجل anger, while He عز وجل is able to do whatever He عز وجل wills. Praise be to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Creator of creation, Extender of provision, Possessor of majesty and generosity, and excellence and grace. He عز وجل who is distant, yet is not unseen, and who is near, thus witnessing intimate conversations. Exalted and Most High is He عز وجل. Praise be to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the One who has no rival to contend with Him عز وجل, no equal to resemble Him عز وجل, and no supporter to assist Him عز وجل. He عز وجل subjugated the mighty through His عز وجل might, and the great ones humbled themselves before His عز وجل greatness, And He عز وجل attained whatever He عز وجل willed through His عز وجل power. Praise be to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, who responds to me when I call upon Him عز وجل, and covers over every fault of mine though I disobey Him عز وجل, and magnifies His عز وجل blessings upon me, yet I do not repay Him عز وجل. How many pleasant gifts has He عز وجل given me, How many tremendous dangers has He عز وجل shielded me from, How many delightful moments has He عز وجل shown me. So I praise Him عز وجل in gratitude, and mention Him عز وجل in glorification. Praise be to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, whose veil is never lifted, whose door is never closed, whose requester is never turned away, And whose hope-bearer is never disappointed. Praise be to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, who grants security to those who are afraid, and delivers the truthful, and raises up the oppressed, and brings down the arrogant, and destroys kings and appoints others in their place. And praise be to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Crusher of the tyrants, Annihilator of the oppressors, Catcher of the fugitives, Punisher of the wrongdoers, Rescuer of the desperate, Fulfiller of the needs of those who ask, And supporter of the believers. Praise be to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, before whose fear the heavens and their inhabitants tremble, the earth and its dwellers quake, and the seas and all who swim in their depths surge. Praise be to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, who creates and is not created, who provides and is not provided for, who feeds and is not fed, who causes the living to die and brings the dead to life, and He عز وجل is the Ever-Living who does not die. In His عز وجل hand is all good, and He عز وجل has power over all things. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, send blessings upon (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, Your servant صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and Your Messenger صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and Your trustee صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and Your chosen one صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and Your beloved صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and the most excellent of Your creation صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, the keeper of Your secret صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and the conveyor of Your messages. Send upon Him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم; the best, most perfect, most complete, most beautiful, most pure, most elevated, most abundant of blessings, and the greatest increase and fragrance and purity and loftiness and multitude that You عز وجل have ever sent upon anyone from among Your servants, Your prophets, Your messengers, Your chosen ones, and the people honored by You عز وجل among Your creation. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, send blessings upon Imam Ali عليه السلام, the Commander of the Faithful عليه السلام, the testamentary trustee of the Messenger of the Lord عز وجل of the worlds, and upon the truthful and pure one, (Sayyida) Fatimah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, the leader of the women of all the worlds. And send blessings upon the two grandsons of mercy, and the leaders of guidance, Imam al-Hasan عليه السلام and Imam al-Husayn عليه السلام, the two masters of the youth of Paradise from among all creation. And send blessings upon the Imams عليه السلام of the Muslims, Your proofs عليه السلام over Your servants عليه السلام, and Your trustees عليه السلام in Your lands a plentiful, everlasting blessing. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, send blessings on the Wali (guardian) of Your affair, the awaited Qaim (ajf), the hoped-for one (ajf), and the awaited justice (ajf). Surround the Qaim (ajf) with Your nearest angels, And support the Qaim (ajf) with the Holy Spirit, O’ Lord عز وجل of the worlds. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, make the Qaim (ajf), a caller to Your Book and one who rises for religion. Grant the Qaim (ajf) succession in the earth as You عز وجل granted succession to those before the Qaim (ajf). Establish for the Qaim (ajf), his religion which You عز وجل have approved for the Qaim (ajf). Replace his fear with security, that the Qaim (ajf) may worship You عز وجل without associating anything with You عز وجل. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, strengthen the Qaim (ajf) and strengthen the cause through the Qaim (ajf), Support the Qaim (ajf) and grant the Qaim (ajf) a mighty victory, and open for the Qaim (ajf) a grand conquest. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, through the Qaim (ajf) manifest Your religion and the creed of Your Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, so that nothing of the truth remains hidden out of fear from any of Your creation. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, we yearn to You عز وجل for a noble government, through which You عز وجل strengthen Islam and its people, And through which You عز وجل humble hypocrisy and its followers. Make us in it among those who call to Your obedience and lead others to Your path, and grant us through it the honor of this world and the Hereafter. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, whatever of the truth You عز وجل have made us know, enable us to carry it, and whatever we have fallen short of, cause us to attain it. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, bring together through the Qaim (ajf) our scattered affairs, And mend through the Qaim (ajf) our division, And close through the Qaim (ajf) our ruptures, And increase through the Qaim (ajf) our small numbers, And strengthen through the Qaim (ajf) our weakness, And enrich through the Qaim (ajf) our needy, And settle through the Qaim (ajf) our debts, And remedy through the Qaim (ajf) our poverty, And fill through the Qaim (ajf) our deficiencies, And ease through the Qaim (ajf) our hardships, And brighten through the Qaim (ajf) our faces, And free through the Qaim (ajf) our captives, And grant success to our requests through the Qaim (ajf), And fulfill through the Qaim (ajf) our promises, And answer through the Qaim (ajf) our supplications, And give us through the Qaim (ajf) more than what we hope for. O’ Best of those who are asked, and Most Generous of givers. And Heal through the Qaim (ajf) our hearts, And remove through the Qaim (ajf) the rage of our hearts, And guide us through the Qaim (ajf) to the truth concerning that which people have differed about by Your permission, For indeed You عز وجل guide whom You عز وجل will to a straight path. And grant us victory over Your enemy and our enemy, O’ God عز وجل of truth, Ameen. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, we complain to You عز وجل of the loss of our Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and the absence of our Imam عليه السلام, and the abundance of our enemies, and the severity of the trials we face, and the dominance of the era against us. So send blessings upon (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and the family of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, And assist us in this through a victory from You عز وجل that You عز وجل hasten, and a harm that You عز وجل remove, and a might that You عز وجل strengthen, and a just authority that You عز وجل manifest, and a mercy from You عز وجل with which You عز وجل envelop us, and a well-being from You عز وجل with which You عز وجل clothe us. By Your mercy, O’ Most Merciful of the merciful.” The supplication is as follows; “O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, indeed this is the Month of Ramadan in which You sent down ‘the Qur’an, as a guidance for mankind and clear proofs of the guidance and the criterion’ (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:185), And this is the month of fasting, and this is the month of standing (in prayer), and this is the month of turning (to You عز وجل), And this is the month of repentance, and this is the month of forgiveness and mercy, and this is the month of deliverance from the Fire and success in attaining Paradise, and this is the month in which is the Night of Decree, which is ‘better than a thousand months’ (Surah Al Qadr). O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, so send blessings upon (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and the family of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and help me in fasting it and standing in prayer during it, and preserve it for me and preserve me in it, and accept it from me, and aid me in it with the best of Your assistance. And grant me success in it for obedience to You عز وجل and obedience to Your Messenger and Your friends, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى send blessings upon him and upon them, and free me in it for Your worship and the recitation of Your Book. And magnify for me in it the blessings, and perfect for me in it well-being, and grant soundness to my body in it, and expand for me my sustenance in it, and suffice me in it regarding what preoccupies me, and answer in it my supplication, and grant me in it the attainment of my hope. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, send blessings upon (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and the family of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and remove from me in it drowsiness and laziness, boredom and weariness, hardness of heart, delusion, and heedlessness. And keep me away in it, from ailments and sicknesses, worries and sorrows, conditions and diseases, errors and sins. And turn away from me in it evil, indecency, hardship, affliction, exhaustion, and distress. ‘Indeed, You are the Hearer of supplication.’ (Surah Al Imran 3:38) O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, send blessings upon (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and the family of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and protect me in it from the accursed Satan, and from his whispering, his slandering, his spitting, his blowing, his insinuation, his discouragement, his plotting, his deceit, his traps, his tricks, his false promises, his delusions, his temptations, his snares, his factions, his followers, his partisans, his allies, his partners, and all of his schemes. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, send blessings upon (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and the family of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and grant us the ability to stand (in prayer) and to fast in it, and to attain the hope in it and in its night prayers, and to complete what pleases You عز وجل from me with patience, seeking reward, faith, and certainty then accept that from me with abundant multiples and great reward, O’ Lord عز وجل of the worlds. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, send blessings upon (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and the family of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and grant me provision of Hajj and Umrah, and diligence, and strength, and energy, and turning to You عز وجل, and repentance, and nearness to You عز وجل, and accepted goodness, and awe, and longing, and humility, and submissiveness, and tenderness, and sincere intention, and truthfulness of the tongue, and fear of You عز وجل, and hope in You عز وجل, and reliance upon You عز وجل, and trust in You عز وجل, and scrupulousness in avoiding Your prohibitions along with righteous speech, and accepted striving, and elevated deeds, and answered supplication. And place nothing between me and all of that no obstacle, no illness, no worry, no grief, no ailment, no heedlessness, and no forgetfulness. Rather, (let it be) through commitment and guarding for Your sake and in Your way, and by observing Your right, and fulfilling Your covenant and Your promise by Your mercy, O’ Most Merciful of the merciful.” Then recite this supplication: “O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, send blessings upon (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and the family of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and allot for me in it the best of what You عز وجل allot for Your righteous servants, and grant me in it the best of what You عز وجل give to Your near ones of mercy, forgiveness, tenderness, response, pardon, lasting forgiveness, well-being, complete healing, deliverance from the Fire, success in attaining Paradise, and the best of this world and the Hereafter. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, send blessings upon (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and the family of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and make my supplication in it reach You عز وجل, and Your mercy and goodness descend upon me in it, and my deeds in it accepted, and my striving in it appreciated, and my sin in it forgiven, until my share in it becomes the greatest and my portion in it the most abundant. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, send blessings upon (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and the family of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and grant me success in it for the Night of Decree in the best state that You عز وجل love for any of Your friends to be in, and the most pleasing to You عز وجل. Then make it for me better ‘than a thousand months’ (Surah Al Qadr), And grant me in it the best of what You عز وجل have granted to anyone whom You عز وجل caused to reach it and whom You عز وجل honored with it. And make me in it among those whom You عز وجل have freed from Hell, and those whom You عز وجل have released from the Fire, and among the fortunate of Your creation through Your forgiveness and Your pleasure, O’ Most Merciful of the merciful. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, send blessings upon (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and the family of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and grant us in this month of ours seriousness, diligence, strength, energy, and all that You love and are pleased with. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Lord عز وجل of “the dawn, and the ten nights, and the even and the odd.” (Surah Al-Fajr 89:1–3), And the Lord عز وجل of the Month of Ramadan, and of what You عز وجل sent down in it of the Qur’an, and the Lord عز وجل of Jibra’il, and Mika’il, and Israfil, and all the close angels, and the Lord عز وجل of Ibrahim عليه السلام, and Ismail عليه السلام, and Ishaq عليه السلام, and Yaqub عليه السلام, and the Lord عز وجل of Musa عليه السلام and Isa عليه السلام, and all the Prophets and Messengers, and the Lord عز وجل of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, the Seal of the Prophets صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, Your blessings be upon all of them. And I ask You عز وجل by their right upon You عز وجل, and by Your great right upon them, that You عز وجل send blessings upon him and his family and upon all of them, and that You عز وجل cast upon me a merciful glance through which You عز وجل will be pleased with me, a satisfaction after which there will never be displeasure with me, ever. And grant me all of my requests, and my desire, and my hopes, and my intentions, and turn away from me that which I dislike and fear and dread for myself. And from what I do not fear, and from my family, and my wealth, and my brothers, and my offspring. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, to You عز وجل we have fled from our sins, so shelter us as those who repent. And turn to us in forgiveness as those who seek forgiveness, and forgive us as those who seek refuge, and protect us as those who seek protection, and grant us safety as those who surrender. And do not forsake us as those who are in awe of You عز وجل, And grant us security as those who long for You عز وجل, And accept our intercession as those who ask, and give to us; ‘Indeed, You are Hearer of supplication’ (Surah Al Imran 3:38), Near and Responsive. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, You عز وجل are my Lord عز وجل and I am Your servant, and the servant has the greatest right to ask his Lord عز وجل, and none among the servants asks as You عز وجل are asked, in generosity and liberality. O’ One who is the refuge of complainants, and fulfillment of the needs of those who long, and Helper of those who seek help, and Responder to calls of the distressed. And O’ refuge of those who flee, and O’ responder to those who cry out, and O’ Lord عز وجل of the oppressed, and O’ remover of the distress of the afflicted, and O’ reliever of the worry of the anxious, and O’ remover of great distress. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, O’ Merciful, O’ Compassionate, O’ Most Merciful of the merciful, send blessings upon (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and the family of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and forgive me my sins, and my faults, and my wrongdoings, and my injustice, and my crimes, and my excess against myself. And provide for me from Your bounty and Your mercy, for none possesses them besides You عز وجل. And pardon me and forgive me all that has passed of my sins, and protect me in what remains of my life, and cover me and my parents, and my children, and my relatives, and the people of my sorrow, and everyone connected to me among the believing men and believing women in this world and the Hereafter for all of that is in Your hand, and You عز وجل are vast in forgiveness so do not disappoint me. O my Master, do not turn away my supplication, and do not cause my hands to fall to my chest (in despair) until You عز وجل have done this for me and responded to everything I have asked of You عز وجل, and increased me from Your bounty for ‘indeed, You are capable of all things’ (Surah Al Imran 3:26-27), and we are desirous toward You عز وجل. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, to You عز وجل belong the Most Beautiful Names, and the Most Exalted Attributes, and Majesty, and Blessings. I ask You عز وجل by Your Name; ‘In Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate’. If You عز وجل have decreed, on this night, the descent of the angels and the Spirit within it, then send blessings upon (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and the family of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and place my name on this night among the fortunate ones, and my soul among the martyrs, and my good deeds in the highest ranks, and my misdeeds as forgiven. And grant me a certainty with which my heart will be filled. And a faith untainted by doubt, and contentment with what You عز وجل have allotted me. And “Give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and protect us from the punishment of the Fire.” (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:201), And if You have not yet decreed on this night the descent of the angels and the Spirit within it, then delay me until that time, and grant me therein Your remembrance, and gratitude to You عز وجل, and excellent obedience and worship of You عز وجل. So send blessings upon (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and the family of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, with the best of Your blessings, O’ Most Merciful of the merciful, O One, O Self-Sufficient, O Lord عز وجل of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and family of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم. Be wrathful today for the sake of (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and the righteous ones from his progeny, and destroy their enemies utterly, and count them precisely, and do not leave upon surface of the earth a single one of them, and never forgive them, ever. O’ Best of companions, O’ successor of the Prophets, You عز وجل are the Most Merciful of the merciful, the Originator, the Unique, the One عز وجل of whom nothing is like, the Everlasting who is never heedless, the Living One عز وجل ‘who does not die’ (Surah Al-Furqan 25:58). You عز وجل are, every day, engaged in a matter. You عز وجل are the successor of (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, the supporter of (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and the one who gives preference to (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم. So I ask You عز وجل to support the trustee of (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, the successor of (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and the one who upholds justice from among the trustees of (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, may Your blessings be upon him and upon them. Incline Your victory toward them (meaning the Imams عليه السلام), O’ there is no God but You عز وجل, by the right of ‘there is no God but You عز وجل’. Send blessings upon (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and the family of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and make me to be with them in this world and the Hereafter, and make the end of my matter to be toward Your forgiveness and Your mercy, O’ Most Merciful of the merciful. And thus have You عز وجل described Yourself, O’ my Master, with kindness rather, indeed You عز وجل are Kind, so send blessings upon (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and his family عليه السلام, and show kindness as You عز وجل will. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, send blessings upon Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and the family of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and grant me the provision of Hajj and Umrah in this year of ours and in every year, and bestow upon me the fulfillment of all my needs for this world and the Hereafter. I seek forgiveness from Allah سبحانه وتعالى, my Lord عز وجل, and I turn to Him عز وجل in repentance ‘Indeed, my Lord is Near, Responsive’ (Surah Hud 11:61). I seek forgiveness from Allah سبحانه وتعالى, my Lord عز وجل, and I turn to Him عز وجل in repentance ‘Indeed, my Lord is Merciful, Loving’ (Surah Hud 11:90). I seek forgiveness from Allah سبحانه وتعالى, my Lord عز وجل, and I turn to Him عز وجل in repentance ‘Indeed, He is ever Forgiving’ (Surah Nuh 71:10). O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, forgive me, ‘indeed, You are the Most Merciful of the merciful’ (Surah Al-A’raf 7:151). My Lord عز وجل, indeed I have done wrong and ‘I have wronged myself, so forgive me my sins’ (Surah Al-Qasas 28:16), for none forgives sins but You عز وجل. I seek forgiveness from Allah سبحانه وتعالى, ‘there is no God but He, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer’ (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:255), The Forbearing, the Great, the All-Knowing, the Generous, the Forgiver of great sins and I turn to Him عز وجل in repentance. I seek forgiveness from Allah سبحانه وتعالى, ‘indeed, Allah سبحانه وتعالى is ever Forgiving, Merciful’ (Surah An-Nisa 4:23). (Then say three times) “O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, I ask You عز وجل to send blessings upon (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and the family of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and to decree for me, in what You عز وجل decide and determine from the mighty and definitive matter on the Night of Decree from the judgment that is not repelled and not altered that You عز وجل write me among the pilgrims of Your Sacred House, whose Hajj is accepted, whose striving is appreciated, whose sins are forgiven, and whose misdeeds are expiated. And that You عز وجل decree and determine that You عز وجل prolong my life, expand my sustenance, and fulfill on my behalf my trusts and my debts. Amen, O’ Lord عز وجل of the worlds. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, make for me in my affair a relief and a way out, and provide for me from where I expect and from where I do not expect, and guard me from where I seek protection and from where I do not seek protection. And send blessings upon (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and family of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and grant abundant peace.” And you glorify (Allah) every day of the Month of Ramadan from its beginning to its end and it consists of ten sections, each section to be recited individually. The First of the Month of Ramadan: “Glory be to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Creator of souls. Glory be to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Fashioner. Glory be to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Creator of all pairs. Glory be to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the One who made darkness and light. Glory be to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Splitter of the grain and the date-stone. Glory be to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Creator of all things.
