Dua for 22nd Night (Ramazan)

O (One) who draws forth the day from the night,

and lo! we are in darkness.

O (One) who causes the sun to travel its appointed place, through his decree,

O the Mighty, the All-knowing.

and who decreed stages for the moon,

till it returns bent like a palm tree.

O the Light of all lights,

and the ultimate goal of all desires,

and the Guardian of all blessings,

O Allah, O Beneficent.

O Allah, O Holy,

O One , O (the) Unique,

O Single, O Allah,

O Allah, O Allah,

You have the most beautiful names,

the highest examples,

the grandeur, the bounties.

I beseech You to bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad,

and place my name, in this night, among the fortunate,

and my soul among the martyrs,

let my good deeds be (written) in the ‘Illiyyin (Book of the virtuous),

and my evil deeds be forgiven.

grant me a certainty which gives joy to my heart,

and a faith which drives doubt away from me,

and make me pleased with what You have granted me.

(And I beseech You to) Give us good in this world,

and good in the Hereafter,

and save us from the punishment of the burning fire. (2:201)

(And I beseech You to) grant me in it (Laylatul Qadr)

Your remembrance, and Your gratitude, and desire for (pleasing) You,

turning (to You for repentance), and success,

and grant me in it

all that You have granted Muhammad and his family, peace be on him and on them.
