Dua for 28th Night (Ramazan)

In the name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful

O Allah, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad.

O (One) who keeps safe the night in the atmosphere,

and keeps safe the light in the sky,

and prevents the sky to fall on the earth

except by His permission,

and holds them back lest they move away.

O All-­Knowing, O Mighty,

O Forgiver, O Eternal,

O Allah, O Inheritor,

O (One) who will raise those in the graves.

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.

(And I beseech You to ) 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,

for all that You have granted Muhammad and his family,

peace be on him and on them.
