Dua and Amaal for 17th of the month of Ramadan

When you asked for help from your Lord, He answered you

Indeed I will aid you with a thousand of the angels in rows behind rows"

O Allah; on this day, (please) guide me to the virtuous deeds;

And settle on this day all my needs and hopes;

O He Who does not require explanation or wonderment;

O He Who knows what is hidden in the chest of the peoples.

(please) send blessings upon Muhammad and his Household—the immaculate.

O my God! This is the month of Ramadhan in which you have revealed the Quran

and ordered us to build mosques during it and pray, observe fasting and do acts of worship. You have guaranteed its fulfilment for us.

We strove and You helped us. So please forgive us during it

and do not make this the last month of Ramadhan in our lifetime Pardon us as You are our Lord. Please have mercy upon us as You are our Master

Please let us be amongst those who return to Your Forgiveness and Your Pleasure,

For the sake of Muhammad and his Household, for verily You are the Great, the Grand.

O Companion of Muhammad and his Progeny on the Day of the Battle of Hunain!

O Destroyer of the oppressors! O Guardian of the Prophets!

I ask You by Ya Sin. By the Quran, full of Wisdom. And by Ta-Ha, and the rest of the grand Quran

I ask You to bestow Your Blessings on Muhammad and his Progeny

and bestow on me such strength on this night with which I may strengthen my hands and fulfill my needs

O the All-Generous! I am confessing to my sins. Treat me as You please since I will get no more than what You have destined for me

In You I have placed my trust, and You are sufficient for me. And You are Lord of the Throne, the Benevolent!

O my God! I ask You for the best sustenance for as long as I live up until my death

by which to attend all my needs, and come to You by using it

not so much as to make me rebellious, and not so little as to put me in hardship

I ask You to not to take away the opportunity to thank You for Your Blessings from me

Please grant me immunity from the evils of Your creatures

I take refuge in You from the evils of the world and whatever is in it!

O my God! Please do not make this world a prison for me, and do not make departure from it as a source of grief for me

Take me out of its sedition when it is the best time for my departure

with my deeds in this world accepted, into the House of Living and the Home of the Good people

I take refuge in You from its hardships, earthquakes, rule, and oppression of the oppressors!

O my God! Please wish bad for whoever wishes me bad, and plot against whoever plots against me

Please certify my words with my deeds, improve my conditions

and bless my wife, wealth, children and brethren for me

O my God! Please forgive my past sins

and protect me during the rest of my lifetime until I meet You with You pleased with me.

I prostrate my ephemeral, vanishing, sinful and wrong-doer face that shall be held for Reckoning

for Your Noble Everlasting, Eternal, Oft-Forgiving, Merciful Face

Glory be to my Lord – the High! Praise be to Him

I ask God for forgiveness and repent to Him

O my God! O Lord of this grand night!

Praise belongs to You as You protected me from the cliffs of destruction and grabbing onto ropes of darkness

And denying Your Obedience, turning down Your Decrees

and turning to others than You, abstaining from what is near You, an inclination to what others than You possess

Your favor to me, and Your Mercy upon me was not due to what I have done in the past

or that I deserved

. Praise be to God who showed me the reason to praise

and follow the noble and knowledgeable ones, and gave me insight towards the gates of guidance

Were it not for Your guiding me towards Your Obedience, I would have neither become acquainted with Your Decrees or walked on Your Path

Plenty of praise belongs to You. To You belong Noble Favors

and good deeds are perfected with Your Blessings!

O Allah, protect me from Your punishment on the day You resurrect Your servants,

and shield me from Your chastisement and the evils of Your accounting.

O Allah, I ask You for a good return, a good reward,

and safety on the day of retribution,

and forgiveness on the day of account.

O You who created the heavens and the earth,

and made darkness and light,

O You who knows the secret and the public,

and knows what they earn.

O You to whom belongs everything in the night and the day,

and You are the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.

O You who decides with truth and is the best of judges,

O You with whom are the keys of the unseen that no one knows but You,

and You know what is on the land and in the sea.

O You to whom belongs the dominion,

and You are the swiftest of reckoners.

O Allah, I ask You by what You have praised Yourself

and beseech You by it, not to leave any sin of mine but forgiven,

any flaw but covered, any distress but relieved,

any worry but dispelled, any issue but rectified,

any sadness but removed, any illness but healed,

any need but satisfied, any trust but fulfilled,

any poverty but provided for, any nakedness but clothed,

any loss but preserved, any difficulty but eased,

any slip but supported.

And make me among those freed from the Fire on this day and in this month

by Your mercy, O Most Merciful of the merciful.

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

All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

The One who has no likeness, and He is the AllHearing, the AllSeeing.

And all praise is due to Allah for His abundant and perfect blessings.

Upon all His creation, the righteous among them and the wicked.

And all praise is due to Allah for His decisive proof.

Upon all His creation, those who obey Him and those who disobey Him.

So if He has mercy, it is by His grace, and if He punishes, it is because of what their hands have earned.

And Allah is not unjust to His servants.

And there is no power nor strength except through Allah, the Most High, the Most Great.

Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs.

All praise is due to Allah, whose status is great and whose proof is clear.

I praise Him for the goodness in trials and the abundance of blessings.

And I seek His help for what He has given us in this world and the Hereafter.

And I place my trust in Him, and sufficient is Allah as a Disposer of affairs.

And I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, alone, without any partner.

To Him belongs the dominion, and to Him is all praise; He gives life and causes death.

And He is the EverLiving who does not die; in His hand is all goodness.

And He has power over all things.

The One God, the Absolute, the SelfSufficient.

He has not taken a companion nor a child.

And He does not share His rule with anyone.

The Lord of everything, our Lord, and the Lord of our forefathers.

And I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and His messenger.

May Allah send His blessings and peace upon him and his family.

He sent him with guidance and the religion of truth.

To make it prevail over all religions, even if the polytheists dislike it.

He chose him for Himself and selected him for His religion.

And He preferred him over all of His creation.

So that he may convey the message with proof to His servants.

May Allah send blessings upon him and upon the righteous from his household.

And peace be upon him and them, and Allah’s mercy and blessings.

O Allah, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad.

Your servant and messenger, the unlettered prophet.

Your chosen one from Your creation, the leader of goodness and its guide.

The bringer of glad tidings, the warner, the caller to You by Your permission, and the shining lamp.

O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad.

As the best of what You have bestowed upon any of Your creation.

From among Your prophets, messengers, and chosen ones.

And upon those honored by You and upon Your pure household.

The righteous, the truthful, and the virtuous.

Those whom Allah has removed impurity from and purified with a thorough purification.

O Allah, send blessings upon Your close angels and Your sent prophets.

And upon Your righteous servants. Forgive the believing men and women.

And the Muslim men and women, both the living and the dead.

Indeed, You have power over all things.

O Allah, I ask You, O Great One, who bestows great blessings.

Who wards off every harm and multiplies small good deeds abundantly.

Who grants immense rewards, does what He wills, and decrees as He pleases.

O Allah, clothe me in Your protection and brighten my face with Your light.

And cast Your love upon me and grant me Your pleasure.

And the honor of Your generosity and the abundance of Your gifts.

And decree for me from the best of what You bestow upon anyone in this world and the Hereafter.

And along with that, clothe me in Your wellbeing, O He who is the refuge for every complaint.

O Witness of every secret, O Knower of every hidden thing.

O Repeller of every calamity, O Generous in forgiveness, O Beautiful in overlooking faults.

Grant me death upon the religion of Ibrahim and his pure nature, and upon the religion and way of Muhammad.

O Allah, grant me success in every righteous deed that You accept from me and that brings me closer to You.

O Allah, just as You protected Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) from the terror of his enemies and relieved his distress.

O Allah, protect me from every terror, affliction, sickness, trial, evil, and sorrow.

And by Your mercy, grant me complete wellbeing and continuous blessings until my final moment.

And may Allah send blessings upon Muhammad the Prophet and his family and grant them peace.

Glory be to God who is Exalted in Might due to His Power. Glory be to God who is Exalted in Might due to His Power.

He is the One from whose control nothing can escape. Nothing is decreed except by His Hand!

He bestows without being asked, and with being asked. He continues His blessings. He is the Praised, the Noble

We praise Him when He gives us success! His blessings are new and uncountable. We glorify Him for His Bounties and for His Proofs that cannot be compensated for

And praise be to God, Who rules the rulers, gives power to the powerful and debases the debased

O my God! This is seventeenth night, ten is the first of the digits in the decades and seven is the most honoured of the single digits that is connected to it.

O Master! Woe be upon me who lets this night pass without respecting Your Right and tries to please You in ways other than approaching You

I am one such person since I have been held back from You by overeating and overdrinking

I was fooled by the various roads and the extensive means. My drowsiness led me to the worldly pleasures and I rode on the waves of such pleasures out of my ignorance.

Please fend off delusions from me, save me and grant me good insight. And protect me against negligence, and secure me with awareness

with prosperity from Yourself which you endorse and destine for me and brighten my face near you and bring me closer to Yourself

O the most Compassionate, Most Merciful. Please bestow Your peace and blessings on Muhammad and his Household.
