    Duas for Laylatul Qadr

    Laylat Al Qadr commemorates the night that the Holy Quran was first revealed to Prophet Muhammad صَلَّى ٱللَّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ.

    In addition to the usual recitation and dhikr, some use this time for I’tikaf. 

    Here are some duas you can recite on the night:

    1. Dua: اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ ، تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِيْ

    2. Dua: اَسْتَغْفِرُ اللّٰهَ الَّذِيْ لَا اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّوْمُ وَ اَتُوُبُ اِلَيْهِ

    Astaghfir ullah-alladhi la ilaha illa Huwal-Haiyul-Qayyumu, wa atubu ilaihi.

    La ilaha illa anta subhanaka inni kuntu minaz zalimin.

    English translation: There is no deity except You, exalted are You. Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers.

    5. Dua: اَللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِيْ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَالْمُسْلِمِيْنَ وَالْمُسْلِمَاتِ

    Additional Dhikr and Duas 

    In addition to the duas mentioned above, the following Duas or Dhikr/Tasbeeh can be recited during Ramadan in order to gain more reward, closeness to Allah and to seek the protection and help of Allah.

    5. Dua: رَبِّ اجْعَلْنِيْ مُقِيْمَ الصَّلَاةِ وَ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِيْ ، رَبَّنَا وَتَقَبَّلْ دُعَاءِ رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ ليْ وَلَوَالِدَيَّ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ يَوْمَ يَقُوْمُ الْحِسَاب

    Rabbi j’alnee muqeem as-salati wa mindhuriyyati. Rabbana, wa taqabbal dua’. Rabbana ighfir li wa li walidayya wa lilmu’mineena yawma yaqoom ul-hisab

    6. Dua : اللّهُـمَّ إِنِّـي أَسْأَلُـكَ عِلْمـاً نافِعـاً وَرِزْقـاً طَيِّـباً ، وَعَمَـلاً مُتَقَـبَّلاً

    Allahuma inni as-aluka‘ilman nafi’an wa rizqan tayyiban wa ‘amalan matqaballa

    Allahuma inni as-aluka al-jannata wa a’udhubika min an-nar.

    English translation: O Allah, I ask You to grant me Paradise and I take refuge in You from the Fire.

    9. Say 4 things in Ramadan in abundance:

    لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ. اَسْتَغْفِرُ اللّٰهَ اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّيْ اَسْئَلُكَ الْجَنَّةَ وَ اَعُوْذُبِكَ مِنَ  النَّارِ

    There is none worthy of worship except Allah.
    O Allah I beg you for your forgiveness.
    O Allah I beg you for entrance into paradise.
    And I seek refuge in you from the hell fire.
     
    This Dua covers all 3 Ashra of Ramadan and was mentioned by the Prophet صَلَّى ٱللَّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ
    in the following hadith:

    “And in this month, four things you should endeavour to perform in great number; two of which shall be to please your Lord, while the other two shall be those without which you cannot make do.

    Those which shall be to please your Lord, are that you should in great quantity recite the Kalimah Ṭayyibah: Lā ilāha illallāh, and make much ‘Istighfār’ (beg Allāh’s Forgiveness).

    And as for those without which you cannot make do, you should beg Allāh for entry into Jannah and seek refuge with Him from the fire of Jahannam.” (Ibn Khuzaymah)

    Durood Ibrahim

    اَللّٰهُـمَّ صَلِّ عَلٰي مُحَمَّدٍ وَّعَلٰي آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلٰي إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلٰي آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ، اَللّٰهُـمَّ بَارِكْ عَلٰي مُحَمَّدٍ وَّعَلٰي آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلٰي إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلٰي آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ

    O Allah, bestow Your favor on Muhammad and on the family of Muhammad as You have bestowed Your favor on Ibrahim and on the family of Ibrahim, You are Praiseworthy, Most Glorious. O Allah, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as You have blessed Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim, You are Praiseworthy, Most Glorious.

    Surah Ikhlas

    قُلْ هُوَ ٱللّٰهُ  أَحَدٌ، ٱللّٰهُ  ٱلصَّمَدُ، لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ، وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُۥ كُفُوًا اَحَدٌ
    Qul Huwallahu ahad. Allâhussamad. Lam yalid wa lam yû- lad. Wa lam yakun lahû kufuwan ahad.Reciting Surah Al-Ikhlas one time is equal to one third of the Quran. Reciting it three times is equal to the reward of reading entire Quran.

    This is multiplied in Ramadan!

    Light on the tongue, Heavy on the Scales

    سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ، سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ العَظِيم
    Subhanallahi Wa Bihamdihi, Subhanallahil Azeem.
    English Translation: Glory be to Allah and all praise is due to him, glory be to Allah the great. (Allaah is free from imperfection).
     
    And he who utters: `Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi (Allah is free from imperfection and His is the praise)’ one hundred times a day, his sins will be obliterated even if they are equal to the extent of the foam of the ocean.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

    Abu Dharr (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said to me, “Shall I tell you the expression that is most loved by Allah?” It is `Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi’ (Allah is free from imperfection and His is the praise)’.[Sahih Al-Muslim].

    Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, “For him who says: `Subhan-Allahi wa bi hamdihi (Allah is free from imperfection, and I begin with praising Him, and to Him),’ a palm-tree will be planted in Jannah.” [At-Tirmidhi].

    Patterned dome and gold minaret

    Daily Dhikr (After Salah or throughout the day)

    سُبْحَانَ اللهِ،  وَالْحَمْدُلله،  وَاللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ

    Subhanallah (33 xs)

    Al Hamdulillah (33 xs)

    Allah akbar (34 xs).

    Glory is to Allah, praise is to Allah, there is no god but Allah and Allah is the Most Great.

    The power and benefits of Istigfar

    Just repeating أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللّٰ (Astaghfirullah) -  I seek forgiveness of Allah 100 xs per day is a Sunnah of our beloved Prophet (ﷺ).

    Some of the benefits include:

    Relief from distress and anxiety, opens the door of mercy, opens the door of sustenance, opens the door of knowledge.

    Ibn Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said,

    “If anyone constantly seeks pardon (from Allah), Allah will appoint for him a way out of every distress and a relief from every anxiety, and will provide sustenance for him from where he expects not.” [Abu Dawud].

    The Best Dhikr

    "The best Dhikr  is La ilaha illallah and the best supplication is Al-Hamdu Lillah.” [At-Tirmidhi, An-Nasa’i and Ibn Majah]

    If the seven heavens and everything contained in it were placed on one side of the scale and La ilaha illallah on the other scale the latter will be more heavier, this is the power of this short dhikr.

    Saying  لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّٰهُ La illaha illa Allah (There is no God but Allah), not only affirms your faith, it also brings you closer to Allah (swt) as well as countless other benefits.

    The best remembrance on a Friday

    The best form of remembrance (Dhikr) on a Friday, is to send peace and blessings upon the Prophet, ṣallā Allāhu ʾalaihi wa sallam - صَلَّى ٱللَّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ (May peace and blessings be upon him).

    We should aim to increase this Dhikr on a Friday but do a daily count too InshaAllah.

    40, 000, 000 Good Deeds! Multiplied by 10 to 700 times!

     Dua: أَشْهَدُ اَنْ لَّاۤ إِلٰهَ اِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَهُ اِلٰهًا وَاحِدًا أَحَدًا صَمَدًا لَّمْ يَتَّخِذْ صَاحِبَةً وَّ لَا وَلَدًا وَّلَمْ يَكُنْ لَّهُ كُفُوًا اَحَدْ

    Ash'hadu allah ilaaha illal laahu wah dahu la sharika lahu ilaahan wa hidan ahadan samadan lam yat-ta-khidh sa hibatan wa la waladan walam yaqul-lahu kufuwan ahad.

    Our beloved Prophet (saw) that the person who recites this dua ten times daily will recieve the reward of 40 million good deeds. Tirmidhi 3474.

    Shortest but Powerful Dua

    Dua: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْعَفْوَ وَالْعَافِيَةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ

    Allahumma inni as’alukal-‘afwa wal-‘afiyah fid-dunya wal-akhirah
    English Translation: O Allah, I ask You for forgiveness and well-being in this world and in the Hereafter.
