- Reciting the Du'a:
- "O You who separates the day from the night, so that we are in darkness. O You who makes the sun run its course to its resting place by Your decree, O Mighty, O All-Knowing. O You who appoints the moon's phases until it returns like the old, curved stalk. O Light of all lights, O Fulfiller of all desires, O Guardian of all blessings. O Allah, O Most Merciful, O Allah, O Most Holy, O One, O Unique, O Singular, O Allah, O Allah, O Allah! To You belong the most beautiful names, the highest examples, the majesty, and the bounties. I ask You to bless Muhammad and his household, and to place my name among the fortunate on this night, my soul with the martyrs, my good deeds in the highest ranks, and my sins forgiven. Grant me a certainty that touches my heart, a faith that removes doubt from me, and contentment with what You have decreed for me. Grant us goodness in this world and goodness in the Hereafter, and protect us from the punishment of the blazing Fire. Grant me in this life remembrance of You, gratitude to You, longing for You, turning to You, and the success to achieve what You have granted Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, peace be upon them."
- Arabic: يَا سَالِخَ النَّهَارِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَإِذَا نَحْنُ مُظْلِمُونَ وَ مُجْرِيَ الشَّمْسِ لِمُسْتَقَرِّهَا بِتَقْدِيرِكَ يَا عَزِيزُ يَا عَلِيمُ وَ مُقَدِّرَ الْقَمَرِ مَنَازِلَ حَتَّى عَادَ كَالْعُرْجُونِ الْقَدِيمِ يَا نُورَ كُلِّ نُورٍ وَ مُنْتَهَى كُلِّ رَغْبَةٍ وَ وَلِيَّ كُلِّ نِعْمَةٍ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا قُدُّوسُ يَا أَحَدُ يَا وَاحِدُ يَا فَرْدُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ لَكَ الْأَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَى وَ الْأَمْثَالُ الْعُلْيَا وَ الْكِبْرِيَاءُ وَ الْآلاءُ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ [عَلَی] أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ اسْمِي فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ فِي السُّعَدَاءِ وَ رُوحِي مَعَ الشُّهَدَاءِ وَ إِحْسَانِي فِي عِلِّيِّينَ وَ إِسَاءَتِي مَغْفُورَةً وَ أَنْ تَهَبَ لِي يَقِينا تُبَاشِرُ بِهِ قَلْبِي وَ إِيمَانا يُذْهِبُ الشَّكَّ عَنِّي وَ تُرْضِيَنِي بِمَا قَسَمْتَ لِي وَ آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَ قِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ الْحَرِيقِ وَ ارْزُقْنِي فِيهَا ذِكْرَكَ وَ شُكْرَكَ وَ الرَّغْبَةَ إِلَيْكَ وَ الْإِنَابَةَ وَ التَّوْفِيقَ لِمَا وَفَّقْتَ لَهُ مُحَمَّدا وَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلامُ

- O Allah, on this day, open for me the doors of Your Grace, send down on me its blessings, help me towards the causes of Your mercy, and give me a place in the comforts of Paradise, O the one who answers the call of the distressed.
- اللَّهُمَّ افْتَحْ لِی فِیهِ اَبْوَابَ فَضْلِکَ وَ اَنْزِلْ عَلَیَّ فِیهِ بَرَکَاتِکَ وَ وَفِّقْنِی فِیهِ لِمُوجِبَاتِ مَرْضَاتِکَ وَ اَسْکِنِّی فِیهِ بُحْبُوحَاتِ جَنَّاتِکَ یَا مُجِیبَ دَعْوَةِ الْمُضْطَرِّینَ

Acts and supplications for the last ten days of Ramadan.

| Supplications for each night
|
- I seek refuge in the greatness of Your noble essence, from the possibility that the month of Ramadan passes by me, or that the dawn of this night breaks, and that there remains a sin or the result of an action with me, for which You may punish me.
- Arabic: أَعُوذُ بِجَلالِ وَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ أَنْ يَنْقَضِيَ عَنِّي شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ أَوْ يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ مِنْ لَيْلَتِي هَذِهِ وَ لَكَ قِبَلِي ذَنْبٌ أَوْ تَبِعَةٌ تُعَذِّبُنِي عَلَيْهِ
- O Allah, indeed You said in Your revealed Book, 'The month of Ramadan is the one in which the Qur'an was revealed as guidance for people, and clear proofs of guidance and criterion.' You have exalted the sanctity of the month of Ramadan because of the Qur'an revealed in it, and You have distinguished it with Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Decree), which is better than a thousand months.
- Arabic: اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ قُلْتَ فِي كِتَابِكَ الْمُنْزَلِ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَ فِيهِ الْقُرْءَانُ هُدًى لِلنَّاسِ وَ بَيِّنَاتٍ مِنَ الْهُدَى وَ الْفُرْقَانِ فَعَظَّمْتَ حُرْمَةَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ بِمَا أَنْزَلْتَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ وَ خَصَصْتَهُ بِلَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ وَ جَعَلْتَهَا خَيْراً مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ
- O Allah, these days of the month of Ramadan have passed, and its nights have ended. I have come, O my Lord, to what You know better than I, and to what You have enumerated in Your knowledge. I ask You, by what Your closest angels, Your sent prophets, and Your righteous servants have asked You, to send blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, and to free me from the Fire, and to admit me into Paradise by Your mercy. I ask You to grant me Your pardon, generosity, and acceptance of my efforts, to answer my supplications, and to bestow Your security upon me on the Day of Fear, from all the horrors of the Day of Judgment.
- Arabic: اللَّهُمَّ وَ هَذِهِ أَيَّامُ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ قَدِ انْقَضَتْ وَ لَيَالِيهِ قَدْ تَصَرَّمَتْ وَ قَدْ صِرْتُ يَا إِلَهِي مِنْهُ إِلَى مَا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي وَ أَحْصَى لِعَدَدِهِ مِنَ الْخَلْقِ أَجْمَعِينَ فَأَسْأَلُكَ بِمَا سَأَلَكَ بِهِ مَلائِكَتُكَ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ وَ أَنْبِيَاؤُكَ الْمُرْسَلُونَ، وَ عِبَادُكَ الصَّالِحُونَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَفُكَّ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ النَّارِ وَ تُدْخِلَنِي الْجَنَّةَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ وَ أَنْ تَتَفَضَّلَ عَلَيَّ بِعَفْوِكَ وَ كَرَمِكَ وَ تَتَقَبَّلَ تَقَرُّبِي وَ تَسْتَجِيبَ دُعَائِي وَ تَمُنَّ عَلَيَّ [إِلَيَ] بِالْأَمْنِ يَوْمَ الْخَوْفِ مِنْ كُلِّ هَوْلٍ أَعْدَدْتَهُ لِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ إِلَهِي
- O my Lord, I seek refuge in Your noble face and Your great majesty from the possibility that the days and nights of Ramadan may pass, and I remain with any debt or sin that You may hold against me or any mistake that You may want to exact retribution for from me if You do not forgive me. My Lord, my Lord, my Lord, I ask You, there is no deity but You, indeed, there is no deity but You. If You were pleased with me during this month, then increase Your pleasure with me, and if You were not pleased with me, then from now on, be pleased with me. O Most Merciful of the merciful, O Allah, the One, the Eternal, the One who neither begets nor is born, and there is none comparable to Him.
- Arabic: وَ أَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ وَ بِجَلالِكَ الْعَظِيمِ أَنْ يَنْقَضِيَ أَيَّامُ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَ لَيَالِيهِ وَ لَكَ قِبَلِي تَبِعَةٌ أَوْ ذَنْبٌ تُؤَاخِذُنِي بِهِ أَوْ خَطِيئَةٌ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَقْتَصَّهَا مِنِّي لَمْ تَغْفِرْهَا لِي سَيِّدِي سَيِّدِي سَيِّدِي أَسْأَلُكَ يَا لا إِلَهَ إِلا أَنْتَ إِذْ لا إِلَهَ إِلا أَنْتَ، إِنْ كُنْتَ رَضِيتَ عَنِّي فِي هَذَا الشَّهْرِ فَازْدَدْ عَنِّي رِضًا وَ إِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ رَضِيتَ عَنِّي فَمِنَ الْآنَ فَارْضَ عَنِّي يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ يَا اللَّهُ يَا أَحَدُ يَا صَمَدُ يَا مَنْ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَ لَمْ يُولَدْ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوا أَحَدٌ

| Supplication after each prayer
|
- O Allah, fulfill the right of what has passed from the month of Ramadan for us, and forgive us for our shortcomings in it. Accept it from us as an accepted deed, and do not hold us accountable for our excesses against ourselves. Make us among those who are blessed with Your mercy, and do not make us among the deprived.
- Arabic: اللَّهُمَّ أَدِّ عَنَّا حَقَّ مَا مَضَى مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَ اغْفِرْ لَنَا تَقْصِيرَنَا فِيهِ وَ تَسَلَّمْهُ مِنَّا مَقْبُولا وَ لا تُؤَاخِذْنَا بِإِسْرَافِنَا عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا وَ اجْعَلْنَا مِنَ الْمَرْحُومِينَ وَ لا تَجْعَلْنَا مِنَ الْمَحْرُومِينَ
