Allahumma Inna Hadha

O Allah: This month of Ramadhan,

in which You revealed the Qur’an,

As guidance for people and clear proofs of true guidance and distinction (between the right and the wrong),

Has commenced.

O Allah: in this month, I seek Your protection against Satan, the accursed,

And against his tricks and his ruses,

And his deception and his trickeries,

And his parties and his riding forces,

And his on foot forces and his evil inspirations,

And against straying off after being guided,

And against atheism after belief,

And against hypocrisy and showing off and felonies,

And against the evil of the whisperings of the slinking Devil,

Who whispers into the hearts of men;

From among the jinn and the men.

O Allah: and confer upon me with the fasting and the doing of acts of worship during this month,

And with the doing of acts of obedience to You,

And to Your Messenger and the Men in Authority,

May peace be upon him and them,

And the doing of whatever act that takes me near You,

And (please) take me away from acts of disobedience to You.

And confer upon me in this month with repentance, turning to You, and responding to Your instructions.

And protect me in it against backbiting and lethargy and failure.

And respond my prayers in it.

And grant me well-being for my body and my intellect.

And grant me time to do acts of obedience to You as well as acts that take me near You.

O the All-generous; O the All-magnanimous.

O the All-generous:

(please) send blessings upon Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad,

Peace be upon him and them,

And do all that to us,

O the most Merciful of all those who show mercy.
