Dua for Last Night of Ramadhan
O Allah: You have said in Your revealed Book:
“The month of Ramadhan in which the Quran was revealed…”
And this month of Ramadhan
is about to slip away.
I thus beseech You in the name of Your Noble Face,
And Your Perfect Words,
If I am still liable to a sin that You have not yet forgiven
or You want to punish me for it,
or to retaliate upon me because of it,
(I beseech You that) before dawn of this night rises
And before this moth elapses
(please) forgive it for me;
O the most Merciful of all those who show mercy.
O Allah: all praise be to You in all expressions of praise—
The first and the last expressions;
Expressions that You have said about Yourself,
And expressions that have been used by the created beings;
The beings that are diligent, selected,
Revering their mention of You,
And their thanking You,
Whom You helped carry out Your duty that is incumbent upon them,
From among the varieties of Your creatures;
Such as the Favorite Angels,
The Prophets, the Messengers,
And the other varieties who speak of Your praise
And glorify You from among all the creatures.
(Praise be to You for) You have allowed us to witness the month of Ramadhan,
While we are covered by Your graces
And we are enjoying Your bounties and favors
And Your evident conferrals.
For all that, the ultimate praise be to You,
Praise that is perpetual and ceaseless
And endless and eternal and everlasting
Praise that never ends evermore.
Splendid be the praising of You,
For You have helped us accomplish our fasting and acts of worship in this month,
Including prayers and whatever good deed that we have done during this month
As well as all praise and mention of You.
O Allah: (please) accept all that from us with the most excellent of Your approval
And Your overlooking and Your pardoning
And Your excusing and Your forgiving
And the actuality of Your pleasure
So that You may make us win all good turns that is besought
And the abundant share from any gifted bestowal
And that You save us from any dangerous matter,
Or any anticipated misfortune
Or any committed sin.
O Allah: I beseech You in the name of the greatest of all these by which any of Your servants have besought You,
Including Your Noble Names,
And the excellent praising of You
And private supplication to You
That You may send blessings upon Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad,
And You may decide this month of Ramadhan to be the greatest month in blessings that we have ever witnessed
Since we were sent down to this world,
As regarding protection of my religion,
And redemption of myself
And settlement of my needs
And that You may accept my intercession to You concerning Your settlement of my requests
And Your perfecting Your graces upon me
And Your keeping evil away from me
And Your dressing me with well-being during this month,
And that You may include me, out of Your mercy, with those whom You allowed to obtain the benefits of the Grand Night
And those for whom You have decided this Night to be better than one thousand months,
As regarding obtaining its vastest rewards,
And its noblest gifts
And approving praiseworthiness
And obtaining long lifetime
And perpetuity of comfort.
O Allah: I also beseech You in the name of Your mercy and Your beneficence
And Your pardon and Your graces
And Your majesty and Your eternal favoring and conferral
That You may not decide this month of Ramadhan to be the last one in our lifetime;
Rather, You may decide us to catch the coming month of Ramadhan while we enjoy the best of manners
And that You may decide us to see the new moon of the next month of Ramadhan by including me with those who will see it and realize its value
While I am enjoying the best wellbeing
And the most blissful of Your bounties
And the most expansive of Your mercy
And the most abundant of the share of Your sustenance that You decide for me.
O my Lord save Whom I have no lord;
(please) do not decide that this words of bidding the month of Ramadhan farewell to be the last farewell after which there will be my termination
And do not decide this time to be the last of my meeting the month of Ramadhan;
Rather, You may decide that You will enable me to witness the coming Ramadhan while I am enjoying the most expansive graces and attaining the best of my hopes
And I am loyal to You in the most faithful manner.
Verily, You are the Hearer of prayers.
O Allah: (please) respond to my prayer,
And have mercy upon my acquiescence and submission before You
As well as my humbleness and reliance upon You,
While I am totally subservient to You;
I hope success and wellbeing
And honoring and attainment of my hopes from none save You and through none save You;
So, (please) do this favor to me—
Splendid be the praising of You,
And sacred be Your Names—
By allowing me to witness the (coming) month of Ramadhan while I am delivered from any apprehensive and fearful matter
And from all misfortunes.
All praise be to Allah Who has helped us observe fasting during this month and do acts of worship
Until I am witnessing the last night of this month.
