- Reciting the Du'a:
- O Lord of Laylat al-Qadr, the Night of Decree, which You have made better than a thousand months, O Lord of the night and the day, of the mountains and the seas, of darkness and light, of the earth and the sky. O Creator, O Shaper, O Most Compassionate, O Most Gracious, O Allah, O Most Merciful, O Sustainer, O Allah, O Incomparable One, O Allah, O Allah, O Allah, to You belong the most beautiful names, the highest similitudes, majesty, and grace. I ask You to send blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad and to place my name among the happy ones on this night, and my soul with the martyrs, and my good deeds among the righteous. Forgive my wrongdoings and grant me certainty that will bring peace to my heart, and faith that will remove doubts from me. Please be pleased with me for what You have decreed for me, and grant us goodness in this world and in the Hereafter, and protect us from the punishment of the blazing fire. Grant me in this life Your remembrance, gratitude, longing toward You, repentance, and the success that You granted to Muhammad and his family (peace be upon them)
- Arabic: يَا رَبَّ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ وَ جَاعِلَهَا خَيْراً مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ وَ رَبَّ اللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ وَ الْجِبَالِ وَ الْبِحَارِ وَ الظُّلَمِ وَ الْأَنْوَارِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ السَّمَاءِ يَا بَارِئُ يَا مُصَوِّرُ يَا حَنَّانُ يَا مَنَّانُ يَا اللهُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا اللَهُ يَا قَيُّومُ يَا اللهُ يَا بَدِيعُ يَا اللهُ يَا اللهُ يَا اللهُ لَكَ الْأَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَى وَ الْأَمْثَالُ الْعُلْيَا وَ الْكِبْرِيَاءُ وَ الْآلاءُ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ اسْمِي فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ فِي السُّعَدَاءِ وَ رُوحِي مَعَ الشُّهَدَاءِ وَ إِحْسَانِي فِي عِلِّيِّينَ وَ إِسَاءَتِي مَغْفُورَةً وَ أَنْ تَهَبَ لِي يَقِيناً تُبَاشِرُ بِهِ قَلْبِي وَ إِيمَاناً 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 التَّوْبَةَ وَ التَّوْفِيقَ لِمَا وَفَّقْتَ لَهُ مُحَمَّدا وَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلامُ

- 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

- 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
