Dua For Laylatul Qadr ( The Night Of Decree) In Ramadan

Aisha RadiAllahu Anha stated that I asked Rasoolullah Sallal laahoo alaihi wa alihi wassallam, “If I find Lailatul Qadar then what should I do? He (peace be upon him) said, recite this Dua.

Supplication in English 

”O Allah! You are All-Forgiving and You love forgiveness, so FORGIVE me”

Supplication in Arabic 

أَللّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ العَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنّيْ

Supplication Transliteration

Allaahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibb al-‘afwa fa’fu ‘anni

▪ Make this dua as much as you can during Laylatul qadr(The night of decree) in Ramadan.

The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “Search for Laylat al-Qadr in the last ten days of Ramadan.”

Malik :: Book 19 : Hadith 19.6.16

Ziyad related to me from Malik that he had heard a man he trusted of the people of knowledge say, “The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was shown the lifespans of the people (who had gone) before him, or what Allah willed of that, and it was as if the lives of the people of his community had become too short for them to be able to do as many good actions as others before them had been able to do with their long lives, so Allah gave him Laylat al-Qadr, which is better than a thousand months.”

Allah Subhaanahu wata’ala says in the Holy Quran:

Surah Al-Qadr (The Power) – سورة القدر

“Indeed, We sent the Qur’an down during the Night of Decree.
And what can make you know what is the Night of Decree?
The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months.
The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord for every matter.
Peace it is until the emergence of dawn.”

Here is a table showing how laylatul qadr might occur on any of the last ten nights.

Dua To Be Recited On The Day Of Arafat

The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said : “The best invocation is that of the Day of Arafat, and the best that anyone can say is what I and the Prophets before me have said”

لا إِلَهَ إلاَّ اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لا شَريكَ لَهُ، لَهُ المُلْكُ ولَهُ الحَمْدُ وهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَديرٌ

None has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, Who has no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is Able to do all things.
