O Allah; on this day, (please) attract my attention to the blessings at the last hours of night; And enlighten my heart with the glow of its light; And lead all my organs to the following of its traces; Out of Your light; O the Grantor of light to the hearts of the connoisseurs.

Allahumma laka alhamdu kama hamidta nafsak Wa afdala ma hamidaka alhamiduna min khalqik Hamdan yakunu ardha alhamdi lak Wa ahaqqa alhamdi ‘indak Wa ahabba alhamdi ilayk Wa afdala alhamdi ladayk Wa aqraba alhamdi mink Wa awjaba alhamdi jazaa’an ‘alayk Hamdan la yablughuhu wasfu wasif Wa la yudrikuhu na‘tu na‘it Wa la wahmu mutawahhim Wa la fikru mutafakkir

Translation

O Allah, to You belongs all praise, as You have praised Yourself. And with the best praise that those who praise You from Your creation offer. A praise that is the most pleasing to You. And the most rightful praise in Your sight. And the most beloved praise to You. And the most excellent praise with You. And the closest praise to You. And the praise that most deserves a reward from You. A praise that no describer can fully express. Nor can any attribute fully comprehend it. Nor can any imagination conceive it. Nor can any thought grasp it.

Hamdan yad‘ufu ‘anhu kullu ahad Mimman fis-samawati wal-ardhin Wa yaqsuru ‘anhu wa ‘an hududihi wa muntahahu Jami‘ul ma‘suminal mu’ayyadin Alladhina akhadhta mithaqahum fi kitabik Hamdan yanbaghi lak wa yadumu ma‘ak Wa la yasluhu illa lak Hamdan ya‘lu hamda kulli hamid Wa shukran yuhitu bishukri kulli shakir Hamdan yabqa ma‘a baqa’ik Wa yazidu idha radit Wa yanmi kullama shi’ta

Translation

A praise that is beyond the ability of all beings. Among those in the heavens and the earth. And falls short of its limits and ultimate extent. Even all the divinely protected and supported ones. Whose covenant You have taken in Your unalterable Book. A praise that befits You and lasts with You. And is suitable only for You. A praise that surpasses all other praises. And gratitude that encompasses all gratitude. A praise that remains as long as You remain. And increases when You are pleased. And grows whenever You will.

Hamdan khalidan ma‘a khuludik Wa da’iman ma‘a dawamik Kama faddaltana ‘ala kathirin min khalqik Wa lima wahabta min ma‘rifatik Wa siyami shahri Ramadan Allahumma inni as’aluka bimaqam Muhammad Wa bimaqam anbiya’ika ‘alayhi wa ‘alayhimu as-salam An tusalliya ‘ala Muhammad wa Ali Muhammad Wa taqabbal sawmi Wa tasrifa ilayya wa ila ahli Wa waladi wa ahli bayti wa man ya‘nini amruhu Wa ila jami‘il mu’minina wal mu’minat

Translation

A praise that is eternal with Your eternity. And lasting with Your everlasting existence. As You have favored us over much of Your creation. And for what You have granted of Your knowledge. And the fasting of the month of Ramadan. O Allah, I ask You by the station of Muhammad. And by the station of Your prophets, peace be upon him and them. That You send blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad. And accept my fasting. And grant me and my family. And my children, my household, and those whose affairs concern me. And to all believing men and women.

Min fadlik wa rahmatik wa ‘afiyatik Wa ni‘amik wa rizqik al-hani’ al-mari’ Ma taj‘aluhu salahal lidinina Wa qawaman li-akhiratina

Translation

From Your bounty, mercy, and well-being. And Your blessings and pure, wholesome provision. That which You make good for our religion. And a foundation for our hereafter.

O Allah, O He who facilitated for us the fasting of this month and thereby we obeyed You, and You called upon us and we responded to You by Your grace towards us, and You commanded us to pray upon Your Prophet saying, "Indeed, Allah and His angels send blessings upon the Prophet. O you who have believed, send blessings upon him and greet him with peace." O Allah, therefore send blessings upon him since You guided us through him from misguidance and saved us from perdition with him. O Allah, reward him the best of what You have rewarded a Prophet on behalf of his nation, and the best of what You have rewarded a shepherd on behalf of his flock. And may Allah send blessings upon him, Your angels, Your prophets, Your messengers, and those of Your creation who obey You,

Translation

from the inhabitants of the heavens and the earth. O Allah, raise him to a praiseworthy station which the first and the last will envy him for. O Allah, brighten his face, clarify his argument, accept his intercession, and magnify his proof. O Allah, comfort his eyes in the resurrection and the eyes of his progeny, his family, and his nation. O Allah, grant me in this year the sight of Your Sacred House, and show me the Rukn (corner of the Kaaba) and the Maqam (Station of Ibrahim), and the traces of Your prophets, peace be upon them, and the visitation to the grave of Your Prophet Muhammad, the Chosen one, peace be upon him and his family. O Allah, make him [Muhammad] the closest of the Prophets to You in means,

station, the greatest in loss and honor, and the highest in degree and chambers. O Allah, show me on the day of resurrection his bright, radiant face, the leader of the messengers, the guardian of the believers, the imam of the pious, the Prophet of mercy, who came with the truth, a bearer of good tidings and a warner, calling to Allah by His permission, and an illuminating lamp. O Allah, employ me in the obedience to You according to his Sunnah, and let me die forgiven according to his creed, resurrect me on his law, gather me in his group, grant me his companionship, and admit me into Paradise through his intercession. O Allah, as You made me among his nation and did not misguide me,

Translation

and graced me with his religion, the religion of Ibrahim, Your friend, upon him and his family be peace, and brought me to this month and prescribed it upon me out of compassion and mercy from You, I ask You by honoring Muhammad, may Allah bless him and his family, on the day when all creations are gathered for the decree, to free me this day from the Fire, and to forgive me a decisive forgiveness, and to grant me the best of this world and the hereafter, security, well-being, wealth, and forgiveness by Your mercy, O Most Merciful of the merciful. Indeed, You are capable of all things,

Translation

and may Allah send blessings upon our master Muhammad and his pure family.

And may Allah send blessings upon His Messenger, our master Muhammad. The Prophet and his family, and grant him complete peace.

“There is no God but God. There are no partners for Him in His Kingdom. There are none to challenge His Power. He counts all things in number, creates them and sets a pre-defined period for them. And all the seen and the unseen will be destroyed except His Face! To Him belongs the Decree and to Him is the return! Glory be to Him which has overcome everything by His Omnipotence, and has mastered them by His Power, and rules them by His Might! Glory be to my Creator while I was not nothing, supported me with His Mercy, fed me with His Blessings, extended His Bestowals on me, and favored me with His Guidance by inspiring me regarding His Oneness, acknowledging His Prophets (as) who carried His Message, and His Book revealed to the people as Proof to them. He is the God who did not question me for disbelief, and did not leave me to the enemies. He let me be of the descendants of the noblest of the Prophets (as) and helped me with the Seal of the Prophets (as). O‟ my God! Please do not debase me after You honor me, do not lower my rank after You raise it, and do not leave me helpless after You give me victory. Please during this night forgive my sins, hear my prayers, and accept my deeds as indeed You have Power over all things. Please bestow blessings on the Prophet Muhammad and his Progeny(as) and may His peace be on them plentifully.”
