- O Allah, on this day, multiply for me its blessings, and ease my path towards its bounties, do not deprive me of the acceptance of its good deeds, O the Guide towards the clear truth.

| Common practices with other nights

- Ghusl (ritual bath)
- Perform two rak'as of prayer. In each rak'a, recite Sura al-Fatiha once, followed by Sura al-Ikhlas (al-Tawhid) seven times. After completing the prayer, recite Astaghfirullah wa atubu ilayh seventy times.

- Perform one hundred rak'as of prayer (each two rak'as with one salam).
- Recite the Dua: "O Allah, I have entered the evening as Your humble servant, possessing no power to benefit or harm myself, nor to turn away any evil from myself. I bear witness to this against my own soul and confess to You my weakness and lack of resourcefulness. So send blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, and fulfill for me what You have promised me and all the believing men and women—forgiveness on this night. And complete for me what You have granted me, for I am Your poor, humble, weak, needy, and lowly servant. O Allah, do not make me forgetful of Your remembrance in what You have bestowed upon me, nor heedless of Your favor in what You have given me, nor despairing of Your response, even if it is delayed for me in times of ease or hardship, difficulty or comfort, health or affliction, poverty or abundance. Indeed, You are the Hearer of supplication."
- Arabic: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَمْسَيْتُ لَكَ عَبْداً دَاخِراً لاَ أَمْلِكُ لِنَفْسِي نَفْعاً وَ لاَ ضَرّاً وَ لاَ أَصْرِفُ عَنْهَا سُوءاً أَشْهَدُ بِذَلِكَ عَلَى نَفْسِي وَ أَعْتَرِفُ لَكَ بِضَعْفِ قُوَّتِي وَ قِلَّةِ حِيلَتِي فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْجِزْ لِي مَا وَعَدْتَنِي وَ جَمِيعَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ مِنَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ وَ أَتْمِمْ عَلَيَّ مَا آتَيْتَنِي فَإِنِّي عَبْدُكَ الْمِسْكِينُ الْمُسْتَكِينُ الضَّعِيفُ الْفَقِيرُ الْمَهِينُ اللَّهُمَّ لاَ تَجْعَلْنِي نَاسِياً لِذِكْرِكَ فِيمَا أَوْلَيْتَنِي وَ لاَ (غَافِلاً) لِإِحْسَانِكَ فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتَنِي وَ لاَ آيِساً مِنْ إِجَابَتِكَ وَ إِنْ أَبْطَأَتْ عَنِّي فِي سَرَّاءَ (كُنْتُ) أَوْ ضَرَّاءَ أَوْ شِدَّةٍ أَوْ رَخَاءٍ أَوْ عَافِيَةٍ أَوْ بَلاَءٍ أَوْ بُؤْسٍ أَوْ نَعْمَاءَ إِنَّكَ سَمِيعُ الدُّعَاءِ

| Specific practices for the Night nineteenth
|
- Recite the Dua: "O Allah, in what You decree and ordain of the inevitable matters, and in what You decide of the wise matters on the Night of Decree (Laylat al-Qadr), and in the decree that cannot be turned back or altered, Write me among the pilgrims of Your Sacred House (the Ka'ba), whose Hajj is accepted, whose efforts are appreciated, whose sins are forgiven, and whose wrongdoings are erased. And in what You decree and ordain, grant me a long life, expand my sustenance, [and decree for me in all my affairs what is good for me in this world and the Hereafter, O Most Merciful of the merciful.] And do such and such for me."
- Arabic: اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ فِيمَا تَقْضِي وَ تُقَدِّرُ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ الْمَحْتُومِ وَ فِيمَا تَفْرُقُ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ الْحَكِيمِ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ وَ فِي الْقَضَاءِ الَّذِي لَا يُرَدُّ وَ لَا يُبَدَّلُ أَنْ تَكْتُبَنِي مِنْ حُجَّاجِ بَيْتِكَ الْحَرَامِ الْمَبْرُورِ حَجُّهُمُ الْمَشْكُورِ سَعْيُهُمُ الْمَغْفُورِ ذُنُوبُهُمُ الْمُكَفَّرِ عَنْهُمْ سَيِّئَاتُهُمْ وَ اجْعَلْ فِيمَا تَقْضِي وَ تُقَدِّرُ أَنْ تُطِيلَ عُمُرِي وَ تُوَسِّعَ عَلَيَّ [لِي] فِي رِزْقِي [وَ تُقَدِّرَ لِي فِي جَمِيعِ أُمُورِي مَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ لِي فِي دُنْيَايَ وَ آخِرَتِي يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ] وَ تَفْعَلَ بِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا.
