- Arabic: "اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِی أَنْزَلْتَ فِیهِ الْقُرآنَوَ افْتَرَضْتَ عَلَی عِبَادِک فِیهِ الصِّیامَ، صَلّي عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّد اُرْزُقْنِی حَجَّ بَیتِک الْحَرَامِ فِی هَذَا الْعَامِ وَ فِی کلِّ عَامٍ، وَ اغْفِرْ لِی الذُّنُوبَ الْعِظَامَ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ یغْفِرُهَا غَیرُک یا ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَ الْإِکرَامِ"
- Reciting the following supplication:
- Glory be to Allah, the Creator of the breath of life. Glory be to Allah, the Illustrator.
Glory be to Allah, who created all the pairs, male and female. Glory be to Allah, who fixed the time of darkness and light.
Glory be to Allah, who splits the grain of corn and the date-stone (for sprouting). Glory be to Allah, the Creator of all things.
Glory be to Allah, the Creator of that which is seen and that which is unseen. Glory be to Allah, whose Words spread out far and wide.
Glory be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. Glory be to Allah, it is He who is the hearer. There is nothing more hearing than He. He hears from the high 'Arsh that which (is spoken), down below the seven heavens, on the earth, He hears that which (is spoken) in the darkness of the land and the sea.
He hears the sighings and the complaints. He hears the worshipers and secret thoughts.
He hears the diabolical suggestions the devil puts into the mind, and voices (countless at a time) do not confuse His hearing.

- O High, O Mighty, O Forgiver, O Merciful,
You are the Mighty Lord, who has none like Him, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing.
This is a month which You have made; exalted, honored, ennobled and excelled over the other months.
It is the month in which You have made fasting obligatory on me, and it is the month of Ramadan,
in which You sent down the Qur'an, a guidance for mankind, having clear signs of guidance and distinction. (2:185)
You have placed in it the night of power, and made it better than a thousand months. (97:2)
O One who favours, and none favours You, favour me by saving me from the fire, amongst the ones You favour,
and make me enter Heaven, by Your mercy, O the most Merciful.

- O Allah give me enough means so that I may go to Thy Holy House for pilgrimage this year and every year till I live in ease and comfort bestowed upon me by Thee.
Do not deny me these opportunities of visiting the venerable places and calling upon the resting abode of Thy Prophet (Thy blessing be on him and his family).
And in the matter of all the needs of this world and the Hereafter continue to do good for me.
O Allah I request you to take affairs in the night of Qadr a decision that cannot be reversed, nor can be changed, which includes me among the pilgrims of the Sacred House
their dutiful pilgrimage receiving Thy approval, their efforts acknowledge, their mistakes forgiven, their sins atoned for;
and in the course of it make it possible that I live long in ease and comfort, pay back my debts and settle the monetary obligations. So be it, O the Lord of the worlds.
