Short Duas - Ramadan Month First night / eve

O Allah, the Lord of the month of Ramadan

and the Revealer of the Qur'an.

This is the month of Ramadan

in which You revealed the Qur'an

and revealed therein chapters of true guidance and distinction (between the right and the wrong).

O Allah, make us observe fast in its days

and remain awake in its nights to pray.

O Allah, let it be peaceful for us,

keep us in sound condition for it,

and receive it from us with easiness and wellbeing.

While taking decisions

from among Your inevitable decisions

and from among that which You decide from the wise affairs

at the Destiny Night

from the act that is neither rejected nor altered,

(please) write my name in the list of those pilgrims to Your Sacred House

whose pilgrimage receives Your approval,

whose efforts are appreciated,

whose sins are forgiven,

and whose wrongdoings are overlooked.

While making decisions and rendering possible things and events,

(please) grant me long lifetime

and my sustenance, making it from legal sources only.

O Allah Who controls the management of all affairs

and He has power over all things!

O He Who knows the stealth of looks,

that which breasts conceal, and that which selves hide

and He is the Knower of subtle, the Aware!

O Allah, (please do) include us with those who intend and carried out their intentions,

and do not include us with those who are unhappy due to their laziness

or with those who depend upon unreal hopes.

O Allah, (please do) cure our bodies from ailments

and help us carry out the deeds You have made incumbent upon us to do

so that when this month, which is Your month, elapses, we shall have carried out all the duties that You have made obligatory upon us to do.

O Allah, (please do) help us observe fasting in this month,

guide us to practice the acts of worship (perfectly),

grant us vigor to offer prayers,

do not preclude us from reciting (the Holy Qur'an),

and make easy for us to give alms.

O Allah, (please) do not inflict us with fatigue, tiredness,

ailment, or injury.

O Allah, (please do) grant us the food with which we break our fasting from Your sustenance that is legally gotten.

O Allah, (please do) make easy for us the gaining of Your sustenance that You decide for us,

facilitate for us gaining that which You decide for us,

and make it pure, empty of sins,

and free from offenses and flaws.

O Allah, (please) do not feed us except the good that is neither bad nor forbidden.

(Please do) let the sustenance that You decide for us be legal, carrying neither filth nor diseases.

O He Who knows the secret in the same was as He knows the public!

O He Who confers upon His servants with benevolence!

O He Who has power over all things

and has acquaintance with all things!

(Please do) bestow upon us with (ceaseless) reference to You,

keep us away Your difficulty,

make us obtain Your ease,

guide us to the right path,

lead us to righteousness,

protect us against misfortunes,

and safeguard us against sins and faults.

O He save Whom none forgives the grave sins

and none can relieve from hardships!

O most Merciful of all those who show mercy

and most Generous of all those who show generosity!

(Please do) send blessings to Muhammad and his Household the pure

and decide our fasting to be acceptable

and connected to piety and godliness.

Similarly, (please do) decide our efforts to be praiseworthy,

our acts of worship admissible,

our reciting of the Qur'an raised (to the heavens),

and our supplications responded.

(Please do) guide us to the most excellent way,

save us from difficulties,

facilitate for us the easy end,

elevate our ranks,

double the rewards for our good deeds,

accept our fasting and prayers,

react to our supplications,

forgive our sins,

overlook our wrongdoings,

make us of the successful worshippers,

and do not include us with those who earn Your anger nor of those who go astray

so that when the month of Ramadan elapses,

You shall have accepted our fasting and acts of worship,

blessed our deeds,

forgiven our sins,

and doubled our shares from all good things.

Verily, You are the God Who responds,

the Lord Who is Nigh,

and You encompass all things.

O Allah: This month of Ramadhan,

in which You revealed the Qur'an,

As guidance for people and clear proofs of true guidance and distinction (between the right and the wrong),

Has commenced.

O Allah: in this month, I seek Your protection against Satan, the accursed,

And against his tricks and his ruses,

And his deception and his trickeries,

And his parties and his riding forces,

And his on foot forces and his evil inspirations,

And against straying off after being guided,

And against atheism after belief,

And against hypocrisy and showing off and felonies,

And against the evil of the whisperings of the slinking Devil,

Who whispers into the hearts of men;

From among the jinn and the men.

O Allah: and confer upon me with the fasting and the doing of acts of worship during this month,

And with the doing of acts of obedience to You,

And to Your Messenger and the Men in Authority,

May peace be upon him and them,

And the doing of whatever act that takes me near You,

And (please) take me away from acts of disobedience to You.

And confer upon me in this month with repentance, turning to You, and responding to Your instructions.

And protect me in it against backbiting and lethargy and failure.

And respond my prayers in it.

And grant me well-being for my body and my intellect.

And grant me time to do acts of obedience to You as well as acts that take me near You.

O the All-generous; O the All-magnanimous.

O the All-generous:

(please) send blessings upon Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad,

Peace be upon him and them,

And do all that to us,

O the most Merciful of all those who show mercy.

O Allah, the month of Ramadan has begun.

O Allah, the Lord of the month of Ramadan

in which You have revealed the Qur'an

making it guidance to people and clear proofs of the guidance and the distinction.

So, O Allah, please bless us in the month of Ramadan,

help us observe fasting and offer prayers in it,

and accept from us.

O Allah, the month of Ramadan has begun.

O Allah, the Lord of the month of Ramadan

in which You have revealed the Qur'an

making it guidance to people and clear proofs of the guidance and the distinction.

So, O Allah, please bless us in the month of Ramadan,

help us observe fasting and offer prayers in it,

and accept from us.

O Allah, from You and by You, I beseech for settling my need.

If others beg people for settling their needs,

I ask none except You for settling my need;

from You alone, since You have no partner with You.

I thus implore You in the name of Your favor and Your pleasure,

to send blessings to Muhammad and his Household

and to choose for me a way to Your Holy House this year:

a pilgrimage that is admitted,

accepted, pure,

and sincerely intended for You

by which You delight me

and raise my rank with You.

Confer upon me with the grace of making me cast my sight down (against what is illegal for me to look at),

making me act chastely,

and making me stop committing any deed that You have deemed unlawful

so that nothing will be more preferred in my sight than obedience to You, fear of You,

doing all that which You love,

and avoiding all that which You have detested and warned against.

(Please) make all that take place with easiness, lenience,

and good health as well as the grace that You have bestowed upon me.

I beseech You to cause me to die as martyr for Your sake,

under the pennon of Your Prophet and in the line of Your intimate servants.

I ask You to make me a means of killing Your enemies and the enemies of Your Messenger.

I ask You to honor me through humiliating any one of Your created beings that You choose,

and not to humiliate me through honoring any of Your intimate servants.

O Allah, find me a way with the Messenger.

Allah is Sufficient unto me! Only that which Allah wants shall take place.

O Allah, I ask You by Your Name, to which everything is subservient.

And by Your mercy that encompasses all things.

And by Your might that overwhelms all things.

And by Your greatness to which all things humble themselves.

And by Your power to which all things submit.

And by Your omnipotence that overcomes all things.

And by Your knowledge that encompasses all things.

O Light, O Holy.

O First, before all things.

And O Last, after all things.

O Allah, O Most Gracious.

Send blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad.

And forgive me the sins that change blessings.

And forgive me the sins that bring down calamities.

And forgive me the sins that cut off hope.

And forgive me the sins that empower enemies.

And forgive me the sins that repel supplication.

And forgive me the sins that bring down affliction.

And forgive me the sins that withhold the rain of the sky.

And forgive me the sins that remove the covering.

And forgive me the sins that hasten destruction.

And forgive me the sins that bring about regret.

And forgive me the sins that violate inviolability.

And clothe me in Your fortified armor that cannot be reached.

And protect me from the evil of what I fear by night and by day.

In the coming of this year.

O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens.

And Lord of the seven earths and what is in them.

And what is between them, and Lord of the Great Throne.

And Lord of the seven repeated verses and the Great Quran.

And Lord of Israfil, Mika'il, and Jibril.

And Lord of Muhammad, the Seal of the Prophets and the Master of Messengers.

I ask You by You and by what You have named Yourself.

O Great One, You are the One who bestows the great.

And You repel every danger.

And You give every generous gift.

And You multiply good deeds, the many from the few.

And You do what You will.

O Powerful, O Allah, O Most Gracious.

Send blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad.

And clothe me in the coming of this year with Your cover.

And illuminate my face with Your light.

And make me beloved with Your love.

And cause me to reach Your pleasure and noble bounties.

And abundant gifts from the best of what You have.

And from the best of what You give to anyone of Your creation.

Except one whom no one equals in Your sight in this world and the Hereafter.

And clothe me with that, Your protection.

O Place of every complaint.

And O Witness of every secret discourse.

And O Knower of every hidden thing.

And O Repeller of whatever You will of affliction.

O Generous in pardon, O Beautiful in overlooking.

Take me in death upon the religion of Abraham and his natural disposition.

And upon the religion of Muhammad, may Allah bless him and his family, and his tradition.

And upon the best of deaths.

So take me in death as a friend to Your allies.

And an enemy to Your enemies.

O Allah, prevent me from every deed, action, or word that distances me from You.

And draw me to every deed, action, or word that brings me closer to You.

In this year, O Most Merciful of the merciful.

And prevent me from every deed, action, or word that comes from me.

I fear its bad consequence.

And I fear Your displeasure with me for it.

For fear that You turn Your noble face away from me.

So I deserve a decrease in my portion with You.

O Kind, O Merciful.

O Allah, make me in the coming of this year in Your protection.

And Your neighborhood, and Your shelter.

And envelop me in Your well-being.

And grant me Your generosity.

Your neighbor is mighty, and Your praise is sublime.

And there is no god but You.

O Allah, make me a follower of the righteous of those who have passed on from Your allies.

And join me with them.

And make me one who submits to those who spoke the truth about You from among them.

And I seek refuge in You.

O my God, from my sin and injustice encompassing me.

And my excess against myself.

And my following of my desires.

And my preoccupation with my passions.

So that prevents me from Your mercy and Your pleasure.

So I am forgotten by You.

Exposed to Your anger and Your vengeance.

O Allah, grant me success in every righteous deed that pleases You.

And draw me near to You.

O Allah, as You sufficed Your Prophet Muhammad, Your blessings be upon him and his family, against the terror of his enemy.

And You relieved his distress and removed his hardship.

And You fulfilled Your promise to him and accomplished Your covenant for him.

O Allah, by that, suffice me against the terror of this year and its afflictions.

And its diseases and its trials.

And its evils and its sorrows.

And the difficulty of livelihood in it.

And cause me to reach, by Your mercy, the perfection of well-being.

With the completion of the continuation of blessing with me until the end of my term.

I ask You with the asking of one who has done evil and wronged.

And submitted and confessed.

That You forgive me what has passed of sins.

Which Your guardians have recorded.

And Your noble angels have counted against me.

And that You protect me.

O Allah, O Most Gracious.

Send blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad.

And grant me all that I have asked You.

And desired from You.

For You have commanded me to supplicate and guaranteed a response.

O Most Merciful of the merciful.

O Allah, I ask You, O He to whom there is no comparable,

and O He who is not in the high heavens nor in the lower earths,

nor above them, nor below them, nor between them,

there is no deity worshipped other than You alone, no partner to You.

O Unique without comparison, O Everlasting without end,

O Dominant in His sovereignty, O Great in His majesty,

O Holy in His heaven [in His names], O Generous in His giving,

O Majestic in His splendor, O Praiseworthy in His deeds,

O King in His initiation and power, O Knower in His account,

O Dominant in His ascendancy, O Mighty in His prevention,

O Generous in His favor, O Possessor of the lofty sovereignty,

O Possessor of the lavish dignity, O Possessor of the glorious kingdom,

O Possessor of the radiant splendor, O He through whom good assumptions are made,

O Possessor of generosity, nobility, favor, and grandeur, O Everlasting who does not die,

O Eternal who does not eat, O Sustainer who does not sleep,

O Seeing who does not doubt, O Guardian who does not ignore,

O Expansive who does not exert, O Wealthy who does not need,

O Impregnable who cannot be attacked, O Mighty who is not wronged,

O Strong who is not overcome, O Compeller who is not spoken to,

O Hidden who is not seen, O Compeller of the heavens and the earth,

O Light of the heavens and the earth, O Originator of the heavens and the earth,

O Most Generous of the generous, O Most Giving of the givers,

O Most Merciful of the merciful, O Relief of those seeking relief,

O Guardian of the believers, O Honor of those giving victory and those remembering,

O Way of the righteous, O Reliever of the distressed,

O Abundantly sought after, O Refuge of the distraught,

O Best of those called upon.

I ask You to send blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad

and to make Your servant among the greatest of Your servants today in what You distribute of light by which You guide,

and mercy which You spread, and provision You extend,

and harm You unveil, and affliction You avert,

and temptation You prevent, and reward You write, and matter You facilitate.

Indeed, You are over all things competent, O Most Merciful of the merciful.

O' my masters! Tonight you are the support and shelter of everyone,

you are the most exalted and generous among all exalted and generous ones, you like inviting guests and want to be generous towards them;Also Allah (the Glorious, the Exalted), has commanded you to provide refuge and shelter forthe wretched and unsheltered people;now here is one of the Allah's unsheltered servants who has came to attend your as well as Allah's feast; has attached his heart upon your support and well as Allah's support and hospitality;be hospitable and allow him to sit upon the table of your generosity and treat him in the following manner:

Consider him as your friend and supporter and do not deprive me from your best support and endeavours; do not deprive him from your prayer, backing, and intercession

;ask Allah (the Glorious, the Exalted), not to deprive me from His Forgiveness and Benevolence; His mercy and compassion;

then look at him with love and pleasure;becoming so happy and pleased with him that after that He should never become unhappy and angry with him, should regard him as His sincere friend and worthy servant....

I ask you by your splendour and majesty,which Allah (the Glorious, the Exalted), has bestowed upon you,

reward me more than whatever I have asked in accordance with your generosity;

don't look upon my worthlessness, disobedience, and deviations,

because the generosity of the generous ones and the hospitality shown by the exalted ones are in accordance with their generosity and exaltedness

and not in proportion with the worth and merit of their requester.

You reward in proportion with the giver and not on the worth and merit of their recipients

O' my masters! You are the ones who have taught greatness to the exalted ones, generosity to the generous ones, and benevolence to the benevolent ones;

as you yourself have proclaimed:"Your generosity and reward like rain water pour upon the righteous ones as well as upon the bad ones, likewise;" saturate me with the rain of your generosity, do not deprive me from the rain of your generosity, do not deprive me from the pouring of your love because I am thirsty for your generosity and hungry for your love and affection;you don't like that your guests who have taken shelter in your threshold and have tied their hopes upon your benevolence should remain thirsty and hungry.

O' my masters! If you will deprive me from your hospitality I will die with hunger under your shelter sitting upon the side of your tablecloth.
