Aamal and Dua for the first DAY of the Month of Ramadhan

O Allah: on this day , (please) decide my fasting to be as same as the fasting of the true fasters,

And decide my acts of worships to be as same as the worship of the worshippers.

And (please) awaken me from the slumber of the inadvertent ones.

And excuse my offense on this day, O the God of the worlds.

And (please) pardon me; O He Who pardons the offender.

O Allah, the month of Ramadan has commenced.

You have made obligatory upon us to observe fasting during it.

You revealed the Qur'an in it

as guidance for people and clear proofs of true guidance and distinction (between the right and the wrong).

O Allah, (please) help us observe fasting in it,

accept it from us,

receive it from us (with acceptance),

and keep it sound for us with easiness and good health from You.

You verily have power over all things.

O Allah, I beseech You in the name of Your Name before which everything kneels down,

in the name of Your mercy which encompasses everything,

in the name of Your greatness which dwarfs everything,

in the name of Your power which subdues everything,

in the name of Your control which dominates everything,

in the name of Your omnipotence which overreaches and possesses everything,

and in the name of Your knowledge which comprehends everything.

O Light! O Holy!

O Foremost before everything!

O Ever-living after all things!

O Allah! O All-beneficent!

Send blessings to Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad,

forgive me my sins that alter the bounties,

forgive me my sins that bring in punishments,

forgive me my sins that cut off hope,

forgive me my sins that give ascendancy to the enemies,

forgive me my sins that preclude the prayers,

forgive me my sins that make me liable to suffer misfortunes,

forgive me my sins that stops the rain of the sky,

forgive me my sins that lay bare the sealed,

forgive me my sins that whip off destruction,

forgive me my sins that leave behind remorse,

forgive me my sins that tear up my integrity,

surround me with Your impregnable and invincible shield,

and keep me safe from the evil of I beware in nights and days in the beginning of this year.

O Allah, the Lord of the seven skies,

the Lord of the seven (layers of) earth, all that is therein, and all that is between them,

the Lord of the Great Throne,

the Lord of the seven oft-repeated verses and the matchless Quran,

the Lord of (Archangels) Seraph, Michael, and Gabriel,

and the Lord of Muhammad, blessings of Allah be on him and on his Household, the Chief of the Messengers, the Seal of Prophet!

I beseech You in Your name and in the name of that which You referred to Yourself!

O Great! You are He who distributes bounties freely,

repels all avoided things,

gives all abundant things,

doubles the recompense of good deeds with little and much recompense,

and does what He wills.

O Omnipotent! O Allah! O All-beneficent!

Send blessings to Muhammad and his Household,

surround me, during this year, with Your protection,

let Your light beautify my face,

let Your love draw me closest to You,

and let Your pleasure to reach me

as well as Your excellent generosity

and Your weighty rewards.

Give me from the good that You have

and from the good You give to any one from among Your creation,

and with that kind of Your protection, keep me safe.

O He Who settles all complaints!

O He Who witnesses all confidential talks!

O He Who knows all hidden things!

O He Who repels whatever misfortune He wishes!

O He Who is oft-forgiving compassionate!

O He Who overlooks excellently!

Make me die following religion and nature of Abraham,

the faith and traditions of Muhammad,

with the best departure, make me die following Your friends,

and antagonizing Your enemies.

O Allah, keep me far off, during his year,

from every deed, word, or act that takes me away from You,

bring me near to every deed, word, or act

that takes me near to You in this year.

O most Merciful of all those who show mercy!

Forbid me to do any deed, word, or act

that I fear its result,

and I fear Your wrath because of it;

lest, You may turn Your Noble Face away from me.

Then, I am restrained from obtaining my share of good fortune.

O Compassionate! O Merciful!

O Allah, keep me, throughout this year, under Your protection,

in Your vicinity, and under Your care.

Cover me with Your protective covering,

and give me Your kindness.

Strong is he who is in Your vicinity,

glorious is Your praise,

and there is no god but You.

O Allah, make me follow the example of Your upright intimate servants,

attach me to them,

make me submissive to those who convey from You truthfully.

I seek Your protection, O my God, lest I am encompassed by my sin, wrongdoing,

immoderation towards myself, going after my whims,

and being involved in my caprices;

as a result, all that will prevent me from attained Your mercy and pleasure

and I may be forsaken by You

and exposed to Your wrath and chastisement.

O Allah, please guide me successfully to every righteous deed due to which You be pleased with me

and take me nearer to You.

O Allah, just as You saved Your Prophet Muhammad—blessings of Allah be on him and his Household—from the terror of his enemies,

removed his anxieties,

dispersed his troubles,

proved true the promise You made to him,

and fulfilled Your word to him,

so also, O Allah, keep me safe from the horror of this year

as well as its epidemics, ailments,

sedition, evils,

sadnesses, and economic distress.

In the name of Your mercy, make me attain perfect wellbeing

through the perfection of the perpetuity of Your favors to me up to the end of my lifetime.

I beseech You the beseeching of one who has made mistake and wronged, but then submitted and confessed.

I beseech You to forgive those earlier sins

which are counted by Your Preserving Angels

and recorded by Your appointed Angels,

to protect me, O Allah, against sinning

in the rest of my lifetime up to my death.

O Allah! O All-beneficent! O All-merciful!

Send blessings to Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad,

and give me whatever I have asked from You and whatever I have desirably wanted from You,

for You have ordered me to pray You

and You have promised of response.

O most Merciful of all those who show mercy!
